CHANGES TO TEST SHIPS - CLOSED TEST 12.8

Based on testing results, we’re applying changes to Schill, Defence, U-4501, Karl XIV Johan, Komissar, Scarlet Thunder, Vrijheid, Tsurugi, Yumihari, Adatara, Picardie and Navarin. 

 

German cruiser Schill, Tier VIII

  • Bonus to main battery reload provided by the Main Battery Reload Booster consumable reduced: -67 to -50%.
  • Replaced Fast Damage Control Team consumable with standard Damage Control Party consumable.
  • Added Repair Party consumable with following parameters: (Action time - 28s, HP per second - 220, Reload time - 120s, Charges - 2, Citadel damage recovered - 10%)

After analyzing the data and player feedback, we decided to increase the ship's survivability by introducing the Repair Party consumable. As this addition might cause Schill to overperform in battles, we have changed other aspects of the ship accordingly.


British cruiser Defence, Tier X

  • Main battery firing range increased: 16.8 to 18.3km.
  • Detectability by sea reduced: 14.1 to 12.5km.
    • All other visibility values have been changed accordingly.


German submarine U-4501, Tier X

  • Acoustic torpedo range increased: 9 to 10km.
  • Sonar range increased: 9 to 10km.
  • Marked sector width increased: 30 to 40m.


European battleship Karl XIV Johan, Tier IX

  • Main battery reload time increased: 23 to 25s.

  • Main battery reload time reduced: 28 to 25s.
  • Added Torpedo Reload Booster consumable with following parameters: (Torpedo reload time after consumable is used - 8s, Reload time - 300s, Charges - 2)


Japanese battleship Yumihari, Tier VIII

  • Main battery reload time increased: 26 to 27s.
  • Sigma value reduced: 2.2 to 2.1.


Japanese battleship Adatara, Tier IX 

  • Sigma value reduced: 2.2 to 2.1.
  • Changed the accuracy of 100mm Secondary guns and now it will be more similar to Japanese battleships.
