STILL BUGGED: Close Range still set to 8m instead of 15m, affecting many weapons+.
Typo has been an issue since the big update #13.
If you have the LUA Scratchpad mod (or anything to run a snippet) you can dump the value without needing source decompile or test in grinder:
local ds = require("scripts/settings/damage/damage_settings");
print(ds.ranged_close);
local mod = get_mod('LuaScratchpad');
mod:echo(ds.ranged_close);
Again, please either confirm that itâs an intended change (so it can be âdiscussedâ about how bad a change it is in gameplay feedback) or fix it. Itâs been 10 months of silent âacknowledgementsâ and no action on this issue.
DumDum always procced and built stacks at any range, but damage portion was close range only last I checked (not today) still seems the same to me.
cDmg=close damage =1.3 buff (additive) at 5 dum dums, at ~10m no bonus dmg (changed pics to plogryn)
Canât look at the src but quick tests shows it working as it always did afaik and I see no evidence of any partial bonuses to buffs? Please check again, there may be range drop-off in the mix too as @alsozara mentioned.
P.S. Quick glance at older latest source only shows the close range damage buff, as expected, and proccing on hit at any range, which lines up with observed results. I donât see any naked-eye changed but havenât bothered to diff. Feel free to correct me.
P.P.S. Keyword for src search should be âconsecutive_hits_increases_close_damageâ
Last I heard dumb dum is bugged and works at all ranges. You sure you werenât just observing the natural damage drop off with distance of the weapon itself?
@FatsharkStrawHat we have been BEGGING for clarification on this issue for literally 9 months. Was this change a bug or intended?
Could you please please please chase this up for us before we go insane. Look at @gpkgpk profile pic. This issue has already driven this man to the edge!!!
Nah I mean just replacing the link with this latest one to show itâs still a problem. If I recorded every single report the forums would crash or something.
Itâs really frustrating that questions like this will get answered on Discord, but not here where they can be publicly seen and searched.
My career with World of Warships died when they shut down their forum last year and moved everything to Discord. Discord is great for hanging out and chatting, but is an awful tool for informing the wider user base.
Thanks. Added to the Book. Hopefully we can have our first removed entry soonâŚbut given that I got the same kind of reply for the âretroactive penance completionâ problem Iâm not optimistic.
