WoWS: Balance changes – Public Test 12.11

We’re applying balance changes to the following ships based on an analysis of both their combat statistics as well as player feedback: Renown, Yūdachi, Marlborough, Adriatico, and Álvaro de Bazán. Additionally, we are applying changes to the test ship Monmouth based on testing results.
