WoWS Closed test, changes to test ships

~ Sebastianul

We adjusted the parameters of ships based on testing results. The changes will be applied to Canarias, Dido, F. Sherman, Incomparable, Preussen, Pan-Asian cruisers, and Italian destroyers.

Spanish Cruiser Canarias, Tier VI:

  • Removed “Burst Fire” alternative fire mode.
  • Maximum main battery firing range increased from 14.5 to 16.5 km.
  • Added “Engine Boost” consumable that increases ship’s maximum speed by 15%.
  • Main battery reload time decreased from 15 to 10 sec.
  • Changed the parameters of the AP shells:
    • Maximum damage increased from 3,800 to 4,500.
    • Armor penetration increased by 2 times.

The Canarias was one of the first ships in our game on which we tested the alternative fire mode mechanics. The new mechanics performed well on the Canarias, but it still requires a number of tweaks and improvements before it is used outside super ships. That’s why we removed the alternative fire mode from the ship, compensating for it by strengthening the main caliber guns and adding a new consumable.

The changes will come into effect with the release of update 0.11.0

Italian destroyers V Maestrale, VI Aviere, VIII Vittorio Cuniberti and IX Adriatico.

In order to achieve a more consistent progression of torpedo armament in the branch, the following changes were made:

  • Current torpedo modules became researchable;
  • Added stock torpedo modules:
    • For Maestrale and Vittorio Cuniberti, they are similar to torpedo modules of Turbine and Luca Tarigo respectively.
    • For Aviere and Adriatico, they are similar to researchable torpedo modules of destroyers of the previous tier.

The changes will come into effect on the main server with the release of Update 0.11.1, as well as on the server of the Public Test for this update.
