Officially acknowledged

Only the last 30 battle replays are retained automatically

Platforms: PCEvidence checked

Support says replay recording is enabled by default, but only the last 30 fought battles are stored to save disk space. The files have the .wowsreplay extension in the client’s Replays directory. This retention limit matters when looking for an older battle. [2]

Resolved

Friedrich Carl close-range dispersion corrected in 15.9

Platforms: PCEvidence checked

The Update 15.9 changes fix Friedrich Carl main-battery dispersion being marginally worse than the class standard at very close range. The same release fixes Kurama’s burst-fire description omitting proper AP-shell damage. The first is a dispersion defect, while the second concerns UI information. [1]

Resolved

Secondary control switching no longer causes the same delay

Platforms: PCEvidence checked

The 15.9 notes shorten secondary-gun firing delay when switching from manual to automatic control and remove it when switching to manual. They also fix the secondary lock-on icon remaining on an enemy ship after the player’s ship sinks. [1]
