Fifrein Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Am I the only one who's annoyed that her eyebrows transcend her hat? That said, i'm conflicted. I was rather hoping when we heard it was a Borscht Belle that it would be Kirov or Profintern (Definitely wishing for Profintern) but regardless my opinion of Leningrad has improved and I'm glad we got a Russian at all. Although, this was probably the first foreign interview I can recall where the Belle didn't speak her native language. Very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifrein Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Posting in both to continue the draw! Haha! But shenanigans aside, I suppose I can put the technical stuff I didn't put in my post in Nel's thread here. Like new conjecture from subtle hints: "...12 Belles and Morgana for a total of 128 out of 158 for 1939...." So the 158 number also includes Morganas, eh? That's both good because it significantly narrows the number of expected belles per nation (Which was troubling me as I tried to guess which belles would be in game that weren't on the bingo), and a bit sad because it means less belles than expected will be in the game to start. But, it does lower the chances of some belles being in the game that I was kind of hoping weren't. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dano Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 That UI is looking pretty shiny. I kinda feel that the guns during the firing phases could be scaled down a bit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 @RA - A lot of people would think so, yes. @Dano - Do you mean their size? Want to make sure I get the right feedback to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dano Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Yeah their size, I feel they take up too much room and makes it look like they're shooting each other at point blank range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 It was about time, honestly - when the Captain’s Association selects a Nazi before you, you start to develop a bit of a complex. Is it a good or a bad thing that I think that's probably not the biggest slight this forum has made against a Belle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dschuncks Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Hrmm. Can't say why, but there's something about her I don't like... maybe I just trust Mahan's instincts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraS Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 I was pretty indifferent to Leningrad, but this interview was too funny. Also, so exciting to see the UI come together!! I love the gun effects and the layout of it all. It's come a long way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dschuncks Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Now I have dueling banjos stuck in my head... Anyway, pretty excited by the UI stuff posted. Apparently not skimping on the voice acting, that should be a treat. Thank the team for all the hard work for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panay's Ghost Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Is it a good or a bad thing that I think that's probably not the biggest slight this forum has made against a Belle? I'm frankly more surprised she wasn't miffed at not being on the Bingo board at all for months. It looks as though a ship's layout in dry dock be of a generic member of the class (Battleship) with slots appropriate to the Belle (Mississippi). I was initially confused how that ship had four appropriate slots. As far as the guns for the firing phase, I liked the movement from directly ahead to facing the target, it helped me tell who was aiming at who. The muzzle flash was about 1/3 of what they should have been though. Did any of the shots miss? I couldn't tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjapacman Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 She is a Leninist and a Marxist. She is dangerous. There is a reason the other belles are wary of her, as the governments of the world were wary of Communism. Please do not take her lightly.

Ninjapacman Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Fif brings up an interesting point, but it does mean that we have more options to choose from for later belles and event belles to join the game as rarities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuraForte Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 i just love the comedic interactions of Mahan & Leningrad.. i hope we get to see more of it in a later period of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 @Dano - Will let'em know! @PG - Yep, generic by class of ship. Behind the scenes it's set up so that we could have it by the specific ship, too, but...that's not for '39. Thus far, it only registers a miss if the whole salvo misses. Otherwise, if even one shell hits, it shows a hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't tell me that just because a ship has cutting edge goodies mean all of it works...[insert joke about US torpedoes in '39]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 @PG - Batteries will ultimately show independently as separate attacks, although we still think you'll want separate by line reporting too, so you can grudge and get into the nitty gritty.

RockyArby Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Quick question, will this turret firing replace the full body portraits firing back and forth? If so that's a bit disappointing, It doesn't feel as engaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 RA; No, that still happens as well for certain attacks. The combat is unscripted, so it didn't happen this time, although earlier versions of the video did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninjapacman Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 I think the combat pacing was far more reasonable than last time but it could still be improved. The turrets are too big for the interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
