World of Warships British Fuse Time: Wows Dev Blog

In a recent blog post, World of Warships developers provided insight into the new torpedo mechanic for British battleships in their game. The mechanic, known as 'Torpedo turning,' allows ships to change the course of their torpedoes after launch, expanding aiming possibilities and making them more effective.

The Huron, a Tribal-class destroyer built for the Royal Canadian Navy, is one example of a ship that will benefit from this new mechanic. Unlike earlier British destroyers like the Tribals, which were equipped with main battery turrets but limited anti-aircraft armament, the Huron was designed with enhanced AA capabilities at the expense of one main battery turret.

The Torpedo turning mechanic is based on real-life methods used to correct the course of torpedoes after launch. In World of Warships, this feature allows ships with limited or fixed torpedo tube angles to launch torpedoes in directions that would be impossible for their tubes to physically turn towards.

The new British battleships being added to the game will also benefit from this mechanic. These vessels were built with a focus on anti-aircraft warfare and are equipped with dual-purpose and dedicated anti-aircraft weaponry from the 1930s-1940s. The ships' AA suites were designed to provide comprehensive defense against enemy aircraft.

One notable example of these battleships is the HMS Hood, a powerful battlecruiser armed with nine 406mm guns. As the lead ship of its class, it was one of the largest and fastest battlecruisers in the world when it entered service.

In addition to the Torpedo turning mechanic, World of Warships developers have also shared details about the gameplay concept behind their new British battleships, including the reason for choosing the name Hawke. Players can find more information about these ships in a separate blog post.

Overall, the new torpedo mechanic and enhanced anti-aircraft capabilities will provide players with a fresh and exciting experience when playing as British battleships in World of Warships.
