Q：Is there any plan to complete akizuki line toT10 in 2018?
Q：日驱分线能不能在2018年补完啊？
A：We are looking at the ship projects to finishthe line, but this is far from the easiest line in historical sense, so itmight take considerable time. Therefore we can’t quite confirm it for 2018, butwe’ll make sure to do our best.
A: 没办法找历史船所以我们只能脑洞了，这需要一定的时间，我们会尽力做的，不过2018年做完不太现实。

Q: Prinz Eugen and AdmiralHipper-do you think these ships need a buff? Even with the german cruiser buff,these two ships are still on the low end of the branch. They have terrible DPMand don't have exceptionally outstanding features.
Q：你们不觉得欧根和希佩尔需要buff一下吗？哪怕是所有德巡都经过buff了，这俩也是属于垫底水平。场均低也没有什么亮点。
A: You are not the first topoint out their seeming deficiencies, yet the win rate of both is quite on parwith competing ships of the same tier. Moreover, their range and ballistics arevery much fine, and citadels are decently protected, so these cruisers don’tlook bad per se. However, since it seems to be a concern among the players, wewill give the ships a closer look next year, but please don’t take it as aguarantee that they will receive any buffs.
A：你不是第一个抱怨这两个船的，然而就胜率而言这两个船还是不错的。除此之外，弹道射程都很不错，德意志魔法穹甲，所以说这两条巡洋舰不是那么坑的。不过确实有好多玩家在抱怨这个船，因此我们决定在明年好好研究一下，不过我不保证会buff她们。

Q:A few weeks ago Sub_Octavian did a Map Feedback Thread.Now that you (WG) had a chance of work through all that feedback? Any news onwhat's your (WG) view on that is, or what you can pull from that for futuremaps?
Q：有关于地图的问题，你们收到了一些反馈，能不能发表一下未来的地图改动计划？
A: What I can share fornow, is that Tears of the players Desert is getting the much needed rework prettysoon* (this is stretchable), while several other maps are going to followshortly after. Sorry for teasing (or am I?), but that's all I can give you.
A：我现在能说的就是沙漠之泪这个图急需改动（sooooooooooooooooooooon），同时一些其他的地图也会在近期得到改善，听上去挺没用的，但是只能说这么多了。

Q: Regarding the plannedShimakaze changes, the 20km DW torps changes are too niche imo, because ifyou're in a match with only 3 BBs and the rest are cruisers and DDs, Shimakazeis basically a useless piece of dead weight to the team, even more as it iscurrently now. The addition of TRB is a welcome change even if everyone willscream "Muh Torpedo soup, IJN DD OP, WG NERF!!" Instead of fixing theoverly-nerfed T93 torps, why not just remove it entirely and adjust the othertorp's ranges (T93 mod3 to be 15km and F3 be 9.5km)?
Q：关于强而有力的改动，20公里深水雷有点太看脸的感觉了，一旦进了只有3BB的房间怎么玩？增加一种鱼雷确实很好玩哪怕是众多玩家怒喷“哇！鱼雷海，日驱太强了，Serb你的锉刀呢？”与其说修复被过度锉掉的93雷，为什么不完全删掉它然后调整另外两种鱼雷的射程呢（T93mod3变成15KM，F3变成9.5KM）
Also,why not buff Shimakaze's concealment? Having the same concealment as Gearingmade sense when there's only the IJN and USN DD lines in the game, but now thatthere's a lot of other lines, and a Pan-Asian GUNBOAT that has betterconcealment than the supposed "stealth torpedoboat" line, Shimakaze'scurrent concealment doesn't make sense anymore.
除此之外，为什么不buff一下岛风的隐蔽呢？如果只有日驱美驱两条线的话，隐蔽和基林相同倒还好，现在驱逐线这么多，还有泛亚的那种炮艇，隐蔽还比以隐身雷著称的日驱线还好好，岛风现在的定位很尴尬啊。
A: I’m going to have stopyou right there, at the “planned changes” wording. Those changes are notnecessarily planned, they were indeed just a test, so it doesn’t mean they arefinal at all. Just take it as one of (perhaps several) tests. Regarding theDWT, we’re going to wait and see before we make any concrete decisions. When itcomes to concealment, Shimakaze is of the similar size as Gearing. Of course wecould play a little with concealment within a certain limit, but ~200m wouldn’tchange much, and any more would be far too steep.
A：你说那些改动只是一种测试，并不是一种决定好的计划，所以实装不一定会是这样。至于深水雷，我们还得再观察一下才能得出比较完善的结论。隐蔽的问题，岛风和基林隐蔽确实差不多，我们也确实会对隐蔽性做一些限定，但是200m的隐蔽差距差不了太多，差距太大的话又不太合适。

Q:Any chance will we seeanother Pre-Dreadnought like the SMS Schwig Holstein of the Deutschland Class?
Q：有没有前无畏舰的可能啊？
A: Very little - the Mikasa doesnot look too convincing and we would likely need to come up with a differentmechanic, as with the current game mechanics the "few big guns and strongmixed secondary battery" is not too easy to make engaging. Or, on theother hand, not promoting botting :)
And fornew mechanics development we'd rather have a look at something that can come inhandy at higher tiers.
A：不太可能，三爷看上去并不是很有说服力并且我们也需要改进一些游戏机制。就目前机制而言，副炮流并不是很友好的一种玩法，反之，主炮副炮一起操控的话会累死的。对于新的机制的开发我们宁愿去看看有什么能够改进高阶房的机制。

Q: Are you planing on makingit posible to get rewards from PvE scenarios more than one time? When you get 5stars on a PvE scenario there is no reason to play it again. Maybe make it soyou can get rewards from the operation of the week.
Q：剧情模式的收益能不能循环发放啊？现在情况是拿了5星就再也没人玩了，或许你们可以试一下每周清一次CD这种的。
A:That's a decent idea, for sure. We’rethinking of ways to add some replayability to the scenarios, and there may besome changes in one of the following updates.
A：确实是个好主意，我们正在考虑加入一些可重复通关的战役，并且可能会在未来几个版本实装

Q：My most improtant question:
Any idea on a Izumo’smodel rework? Her being a paper ship isn’t exactly the excuse since many moreships in the game are even more fictional than her. And her model is reallybad.
I have done a post onIzumo's ship model and have received lots of support from both Reddit and theforums:https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfWarships/comments/73e1km/a_detailed_analysis_of_the_problem_with_izumos/
https://forum.worldofwarships.com/topic/138597-a-detailed-analysis-of-the-problem-with-izumos-model-in-game-and-possible-solutions/
please look into it.Thanks
Q：能不能考虑一下重做火烧云的模型啊？图纸船不能成为长得这么丑的借口，许多其他的船比她更科幻。我之前发过一个出云模型贴并且得到很多支持，麻烦你们看一看吧。
A：We’re definitely impressed by the work you’vedone regarding all the research, but unfortunately the model improvement cycleusually goes from the oldest to the newest ships. Izumo is far from being theoldest, so she’s not in any immediate plans. I forwarded your report to ourmodeling team, so if they come to Izumo, you work wouldn’t be for nothing.Thank you!
A：我们对你的考证作品印象深刻，但是不行的是模型改进的过程通常是从最老的开始，出云不算是最老的船，所以目前还没有改动计划。我把你的作品递交给模型组了，如果他们真的要改进出云模型的话，你的作品会很有用的，谢谢。

Q: The current rankedseason is shorter than previous ones by 2-3 weeks and it started quite suddenly- right after the end of CW and we only know the date ~3 days before theopening. Is there any special reason for this haste?
Q：这次排位赛比之前的要短2-3周，而且突然就出现了（刚打完公会战就开排位，而且开启前3天才知道的），什么原因？
A: We had some fine-tuningdone to the final format of the battles, and since the changes weren’t major,we hadn’t had a reason to put it on the public test. When it comes to duration,it’s pretty much the same as the previous season (38 days vs. 39), so if youcould, please point us to where you found the info of the season lasting 2-3weeks less than before.
A：我们在战斗的方式上进行了一些微调，不过这些微调不是很重要就没拿到PT了。至于时长的话其实和之前的差不多（38天和39天的区别），如果可以的话，能不能拿出比之前少2-3周的证据？

Q: Considering WG hasteased personal insignias, does WG plan on implementing clan emblems sometimein the near future?
Q：关于WG允许玩家自制舰徽，那军团的logo呢？
A: Can’t say, we dislikethe idea, however, please allow some time for insignias to “mature” first. Westill have to decide where we want to go with them eventually, and Clan Emblemsdo seem logical, but I wouldn’t be so optimistic, as to say that “near future”projections are accurate.
A：不好说，我们并不喜欢这个想法，不管怎样，先让个人的舰徽“成熟”起来再说吧。我们还没决定好最终要放到哪里，并且军团勋章看似很合理，但是我对此并不乐观，所以说“近期”还是比较准确的。

Q: Will the Salem be ourOil-ship, eg a ship aquired by accumulating a crtain number of Oil for ourclan(s)?
Q：萨勒姆能不能成为通过收集石油来获取呢？
A: I really-really-really(really!) want to tell you all the details, but as I type this Avrora’s gunsare slowly turning my way.
A：我真的很想告诉你，但是当我打字的时候，阿芙乐尔已经瞄准我了

Q: Is Asashio a premium ora tech tree ship and if she's a premium why Asashio instead of Shigure,Yuudachi, Yukikaze, Hibiki, T8 Fubuki ?
Q：朝潮能不能作为金币船加入？如果可以的话，那时雨，poi，亲王，响爷呢？
A: 私たちはすぐに知るでしょう！
A：我们马上就知道了吧。（机翻不知道对不对，不过似乎这次QA的官方人员是女性？）

Q: Sincethe Kii was released I've been wondering about her torpedoes. They haveidentical stats to the ones used by the Yubari, called Type8, except on the Kiithey are instead called Type93 mod. 2 despite having almost nothing in commonwith the Type93 mod. 2 torpedoes already on other ships (Akizuki, Kagero, Ibukietc).
Whythis strange naming decision?
Q：纪伊的鱼雷数据和蜜瓜的同款，在蜜瓜那叫Type8，而到了纪伊就改叫93式mod2了，然而其他的日驱日巡也有一个不同的93mod2（秋月，阳炎，伊吹等）。这命名规则好奇怪。
A: Forwarded this to theright people(®), they’ll give it a look, if it turns out to be an error, expectit to be fixed in one of the coming updates.
A：已经把问题递交给相关人员了，他们会看看的，如果有问题的话，未来某个版本会修复的

Q: Any progress on BB AP vs DDs and whatkind of solution are you guys looking at for the issue?
Thisisn't a question but thanks for T8 ranked and smoke changes. Its much more funthis season thanks to these 2 changes.
A: The work is being done as we speak and we hope to keep the2018 timeline.
Q：有关于大口径ap对DD伤害调整的更多信息吗？
同时，非常感谢把排位调成8级，并且对烟雾做了调整。这让这个赛季的游戏体验好了太多（7级排位雾霾世界）。
A：我们之前说过已经在做了，2018会有结果。
