Based on feedback and an analysis of their combat effectiveness, we are adjusting the parameters of some Unique Upgrades. The changes will affect Daring, Yueyang, Kleber, Z-52, Midway, Hakuryu, Henri IV, Minotaur, and Kremlin.

- Main battery reload time bonus increased: -15% to -18%
X Kléber
- Main battery reload time malus decreased: +80% to +60%
X Z-52
- Added a bonus to torpedo speed: +5%
X Midway
- Bomber cruise speed bonus decreased: +10% to +5%
X Hakuryū
- Maximum squadron speed bonus decreased: +15% to +12.5%
- Boost time malus increased: -20% to -30%
X Henri IV
- Main battery reload time bonus decreased: +12% to +10%
- Main battery range bonus decreased: 8% to 5%
X Minotaur

Most of the unique upgrades listed above were less efficient to other upgrades in their slot and needed a small buff to become more competitive. In turn, upgrades for aircraft carriers and Henri IV had an unnecessary impact on the ship’s strength and so were weakened.
