Ships
Following ships are added for testing purposes and are not available for purchase. However, they can be encountered in battle:
- Diana – Protected cruiser with united main caliber artillery and multiple secondary guns. It was designed to become an “exterminator of trades”, out-performing foreign analogues by characteristics. Delayed building caused the ships of this class to underperform against most of the ships of their type by ammunition and speed by the time they were heaved off.
- Pallada – Classic protected cruiser of the end of XIX – early XX centuries. Had rather good main caliber guns for its time and multiple secondary guns. Vital parts of the ship were protected by a bevelled armour deck.
- Marblehead – Fast scout-cruiser with torpedoes and strong artillery. She also had aviation equipment on board. Marblehead differed from other ships of her class by location of main caliber guns.
- Cincinnati – Strong and very fast light cruiser for her time. Besides multiple quick-fire artillery, she had strong torpedoes and decent AA guns. She was also was equipped to launch scout planes.
- Tachibana – Small and relatively fast destroyer. For her size, she had rather powerful torpedo equipment. Her artillery consisted of a few quick-fire small caliber guns.
- Sakura – First destroyer that was fully designed in Japan. For her time, she had decent speed and torpedo equipment. Her artillery consisted of a few quick-fire small caliber guns.
- Mikasa – Best ironclad warship of the Japanese Navy for the Russian-Japanese war period. It was very well-balanced and had very good ammunition, armour and speed characteristics for her time. However, she was rather out-performed by most of the later battleships-dreadnoughts.
Reload time for dual purpose guns on Mutsuki (top artillery) has been increased.
