Greetings, Captains! 

Welcome to the Update 12.11 Closed Test DevBlog. This update will kick off the holiday season in grand fashion – let’s look at some of the upcoming activities and content that we have prepared for you! 

Based on testing results, we're applying changes to Francesco Ferruccio, Michelangelo, Picardie, Independence, Yorktown, and Essex.

We're applying balance changes to the following ships based on an analysis of both their combat statistics as well as player feedback: Austin, ZF-6, Tashkent '39 as well as the Pan-Asian Cruisers. The changes will be applied on the Public Test for Update 12.10.

Let’s go over some of the main new features of the coming update.

Based on the testing results, we're applying changes to Michelangelo, Independence, Yorktown and Essex.

Update 12.10 brings three new ships. American aircraft carrier Independence, Pan-Asian cruiser Tianjin and American battleship Rhode Island.

With the release of Update 12.10, we plan to make changes to some of the commander skills for battleships, cruisers and destroyers. We have gathered both the statistical data and player feedback over time and reworked some of the outdated, unpopular or underperforming skills to make them more useful in battles.
