We'd like to share details on the characteristics of superships Satsuma, Hannover, Conde, Annapolis, Zorkiy, and Yamagiri, as well as the settings of their unique mechanics.
Japanese superbattleship Satsuma
A project based on Yamato with reinforced primary armament—510 mm guns in four twin-gun turrets.
German superbattleship Hannover
A version of the H-42 project with 483 mm guns in four twin-gun turrets and her secondary battery replaced with dual-purpose artillery with a caliber of 128 mm.
The Unique feature for Satsuma and Hannover will be "Combat Instructions". It allows you to have a temporary enhancement to the characteristics of the ship in battle. Satsuma gains main battery accuracy, while Hannover gets a boost to secondary battery range and decreased main battery reload time.
The bonus can be activated only after successful gun adjustment firing. The bonus is not activated automatically, but by pressing the "F" key. This will allow players to apply the power-up bonus at the most optimal moment.
French supercruiser Conde
A large heavy cruiser armed with twelve 240 mm guns housed in quad-gun turrets. The ship's air defenses are represented by both post-war dual-purpose guns and dedicated AA weapon systems.
American supercruiser Annapolis
A project that embodies the development of the Des Moines-class heavy cruisers. The key distinctive features that set her apart from her prototype are her larger dimensions and increased firepower, the latter of which was achieved by arming the ship with an additional main battery turret.
Soviet superdestroyer "Zorkiy"
A project for a high-speed armored flotilla leader. She is armed with dual-purpose guns and dedicated AA guns designed in the U.S.S.R. in the early 1950s, with their designs having drawn upon lessons learned in war.
The unique feature of Conde, Annapolis, and "Zorkiy" will be: "Alternative firing mode: Burst Fire". In this mode, each individual turret automatically fires off several shells with a short interval between salvos and then goes on a long reload. When the mode is activated, the characteristics of the guns or shells change depending on the ship.
Japanese superdestroyer Yamagiri
A large, fast destroyer equipped with dual-purpose main guns and powerful torpedo armament comprising three sextuple-tube torpedo launchers.
The unique feature of the ship will be "Alternate Torpedoes". Yamagiri is armed with two types of torpedoes that can be switched between in battle. The torpedoes differ by parameters such as range, speed, and damage.
