Howdy friends,

As promised in last weeks' Buddy's Bulletin we've put together a special update for you, featuring a gift from our friend, SMii7Y!



When you next boot up Friends vs Friends you'll have a gift waiting for you from the main menu. All you have to do is claim it, then you'll be able to give Moose Salto a whole new SMii7Y themed makeover for your next match.

That's not all, though, as we've also added in a new hama chain and card back for your playing pleasure. And a couple of key fixes. Check out the changelog below.

• Added the new Smii7Y content: 1 Moose Salto skin (available as a gift in the main menu), 1 keychain & 1 card back variant!
  
• Changed how melee weapons work to avoid most of the inconsistency issues players were facing with the Katana (not effective as Titan, disproportionate range, dealing damage through solid walls...)
  
• Added a refresh time indicator on Quests & Baba's Laundromat menus
  
• Tweaked Boira 9 & Laika 3rd person animations
  
• Fixed: In Island, player can clip through the umbrella, but bullets can't pass through
  
• Fixed: In Theatre, player is pushed through the texture after placing wall on the statue
  
• Fixed: In Island, traces of the explosion turn blue from the greater distance
  
• Fixed: In the Hub, it's possible to clip through the roof of a Bus Stop
  
• Fixed: In the Hub, Very pale texture on the pavement
  
• Fixed: Z fighting in Rooftop map
  
• Fixed: The Red car in Space map is still running
  
• Fixed: There is an invisible wall in the Ice Cream Truck dispensing window

We’re pleased to announce the end of the closed beta testing of the French bluewater navy and present a new French Premium heavy cruiser to boost your first steps in the mastering of the French ships!

• Price: 54.99
  
• Suffren-class, Dupleix, 1942 (Rank 4, France)
  
• 2000 Golden Eagles
  
• Premium account for 30 days

Features:

• Improved protection
  
• Linear layout of the main turrets
  
• Good speed

The French heavy cruiser Dupleix belongs to the Suffren class, which is already familiar to French navy testers from the cruiser Colbert. Rapid-firing 203mm main guns, good sailing performance and solid air defense capabilities are complemented by reinforced armor. Let’s see in detail.

So, the main difference between Dupleix from Colbert, aside from her premium status, is a modified and improved armoring. While Colbert could only offer the captain a narrow 50mm armor belt along the hull, the Dupleix is slightly better protected. The plates of the main armor belt are 60 mm thick and, most importantly, cover a much larger area. On the sides of the hull in the central part of the hull, the plates descend below the waterline, the sections covering the main guns magazines at the bow and stern have an elongated profile. Internal protection of the boiler rooms has also been improved. Of course, this armor is not able to withstand most armor-piercing rounds even from light cruisers, but Dupleix can count on more stable protection of vital modules when being hit by cruisers’ HE and even semi-AP shells at acute angles.




The auxiliary guns have also been slightly changed. The Dupleix is armed with the same 90mm guns as the Colbert, but here they are placed in four twin mounts instead of eight single mounts. Anti-aircraft artillery is represented by four twin mounts of 37 mm cannons, a pair of quadruple Hotchkiss guns, as well as 13.2 mm Brownings for short range combat. Like her sister, the Dupleix also has a torpedo armament of a pair of three-tube launchers in the central part of the deck.




Reinforced armor obviously affects the mobility of the cruiser. Nevertheless, Dupleix can accelerate to quite tolerable for its class 32 knots (almost 60 km/h).

Purchase the Premium heavy cruiser Dupleix in the Gaijin online store and welcome aboard the ships of the French fleet in War Thunder!
