  • Torpedo range reduced from 9 to 8 km.
  • Detectability range by ships increased from 6.32 to 6.82 km. Other detectability ranges increased in accordance with it.

European destroyer Visby, Tier V:

  • Main battery reload time increased from 6.5 to 7 s.
  • Torpedo range reduced from 9 to 8 km.
  • Detectability range by ships increased from 6.23 to 6.82 km. Other detectability ranges increased in accordance with it.

European destroyer Västerås, Tier VI:

  • Main battery reload time increased from 6.5 to 7 s.

European destroyer Skåne, Tier VII:

  • Main battery reload time increased from 2.8 to 3.2 s.
  • Torpedo tubes reload time increased from 55 to 59 s;
  • Detectability range by ships increased from 6.86 to 7.06 km. Other detectability ranges increased in accordance with it.

European destroyer Öland, Tier VIII:

  • Main battery reload time increased from 2.5 to 2.6 s.
  • Detectability range by ships increased from 7.22 to 7.42 km. Other detectability ranges increased in accordance with it.

European destroyer Östergötland, Tier IX:

  • Torpedo range reduced from 15 to 13,5 km;
  • Detectability range by ships increased from 7.22 to 7.62 km. Other detectability ranges increased in accordance with it.

European destroyer Småland, Tier X:

  • Main battery reload time reduced from 1.8 to 1.7 s.
  • Detectability range by ships reduced from 7.92 to 7.82 km. Other detectability ranges reduced in accordance with it.

We adjusted the parameters of European destroyers based on testing results.

French destroyer Marceau, Tier X:

  • Detectability range by ships reduced from 9.88 to 8.88 km. Other detectability ranges reduced in accordance with it.

Based on testing results, we’ve decided to revert Marceau’s detectability changes to emphasize the differences in playstyle between her and Kleber.

Japanese battleship Yashima, Tier X:

  • The ship is renamed to Shikishima.

The old name was too similar to the name of the other Japanese Tier X ship Yoshino. The new name, as well as the old one, was historically used for a pre-dreadnought battleship.
