Changes to Superships, San Diego, and Submarines — Closed Test 0.11.3

Changes to Superships, San Diego, and Submarines — Closed Test 0.11.3

 

We adjusted the parameters of some ships based on testing results. The changes will be applied Edgar, United States, San Diego, Salmon, and Balao.

British Super cruiser Edgar

  • Main battery reload time in Alternative fire mode increased: 30 to 35 s.

American Super carrier United States

  • Slightly increased the altitude of Attack aircraft squadrons when aiming and firing. This change will not affect gameplay.
  • Deck armor thickness increased: 25 to 38 mm.
  • Detectability range by sea reduced: 17.8 to 16 km.
  • Detectability range by air reduced: 15.5 to 14.5 km.
  • Changes to the ship’s Tactical torpedo squadron:
    • Maximum torpedo damage reduced: 13,733 to 8,200.
    • Number of aircraft in a squadron increased: 2 to 3.
    • Aircraft preparation time reduced: 240 to 150 s.
    • Damage reduction applied to an attack flight during an attack run reduced: -50% to -30%.

American cruiser San Diego, Tier VIII

  • Main battery reload time reduced: 8.5 to 5 s.
  • SAP shell damage reduced: 2,700 to 2,400.
  • HE shells replaced with AP shells:
    • Maximum AP shell damage: 2,100.
    • AP initial velocity: 792 m/s.
  • Changed the “Main battery reload booster” consumable:
    • There is now a limited number of charges: 2.
    • Cooldown time increased: 145 to 180 s.
    • Action time reduced: 25 to 15 s.
  • Changed the “Defensive AA fire” consumable:
    • Damage bonus increased: +50% to +100%.
    • Cooldown time reduced: 80 to 60 s.
    • Action time reduced: 40 to 30 s.
  • Added the “Repair Party” consumable, with the following characteristics:
    • Action time: 28 s.
    • Cooldown time: 80s.
    • Number of charges: 3.
    • HP healed per second: 139
    • Citadel damage recovery: 50%

These changes will not alter the concept of the ship as a simplified version of Austin, but instead make it easier to fill this role.

American submarine Salmon, Tier VIII

Changed the parameters of the conventional torpedoes:

  • Speed increased: 60 to 65 knots.
  • Range increased: 7 to 9 km.
  • Arming time reduced: 5 to 4.6 s.

American submarine Balao, Tier X

Changed the parameters of the conventional torpedoes:

  • Speed increased: 64 to 69 knots.
  • Range increased: 7.5 to 10 km.
  • Arming time reduced: 5 to 4.6 s.

Please note that all information in the development blog is preliminary. Announced adjustments and features may change multiple times during testing. The final information will be published on our game's website.
