Based on testing results, we’re applying changes to British battleships, Iwami, Aquila, and Hampshire. There will also be changes made to submarines.
British battleships Renown and Hawke, Tiers VI and VIII:
- Added the Engine Boost consumable.
British battleship Hawke, Tier VIII:
- Main battery sigma parameter increased from 1.5 to 1.6.
- Main battery firing range with the stock Gun Fire Control System module increased from 16.5 to 17.1 km.
British battleship Duncan, Tier IX:
- Maximum torpedo damage increased from 21,064 to 29,367.
- Torpedo arming distance reduced from 1500 to 540 m. Torpedo launch sectors in the direction to the bow of the ship were slightly reduced as well.
British battleship St. Vincent, Tier X:
- The amount of HP restored by the Specialized Repair Teams consumable from damage received to parts of the hull increased from 50 to 60%.
- Maximum torpedo damage increased from 21,064 to 29,367.
- Torpedo arming distance reduced from 1500 to 540 m. Torpedo launch sectors in the direction of the ship’s bow were slightly reduced as well.
British cruiser Hampshire, Tier VIII:
- The width of the torpedo spread in a standard launch mode was reduced and brought to standard values for British cruisers.
British battleship Collingwood, Tier VII:
- Added the Hydroacoustic Search consumable with the following settings:
- Number of charges – 3;
- Torpedo detection range – 3 km;
- Ship detection range – 4 km;
- Action time – 100 s;
- Reload time – 120 s.
- Added the Main Battery Reload Booster consumable with the following settings:
- Number of charges – 4;
- Reload time – 120 s;
- Action time – 20 s;
- Main Battery reload time reduction – 50%.
Japanese battleship Iwami, Tier IX:
- Increased the accuracy of secondary battery guns – they are now similar in the accuracy to the secondary guns of Georgia.
Italian aircraft carrier Aquila, Tier VIII:
- Number of torpedo bombers on deck reduced from 21 to 18.
- Number of Engine Cooling consumables for the attack aircraft increased from 2 to 4.
- Number of Patrol Fighters consumables for attack aircraft and torpedo bombers increased from 3 to 4.
Changes to submarines:
Changed the dispersion when launching torpedoes:
- Cachalot:
- For bow tubes – reduced from 11° to 3°;
- For stern tubes – reduced from 5° to 2°;
- Salmon:
- For bow and stern tubes – reduced from 11° to 3°;
- Balao:
- For bow tubes – reduced from 16° to 5°;
- For stern tubes – reduced from 11° to 3°
- U-69:
- For bow tubes – reduced from 11° to 3°;
- For stern tubes – reduced from 3° to 1°;
- U-190:
- For bow tubes – reduced from 11° to 3°;
- For stern tubes – reduced from 5° to 2°;
- U-2501:
- For bow tubes – reduced from 16° to 5°;
- U-4501:
- For bow tubes – reduced from 11° to 3°;
- For stern tubes – reduced from 16° to 5°;
German submarine U-4501, Tier X
- Sonar ping range reduced from 14 to 6.3 km. Now it has the same value as the range of homing torpedoes.
Please note that all information in the development blog is preliminary. Announced adjustments and features may change multiple times during testing.
