The Pan-American cruiser branch and American Tier IX battleship Illinois have been added to the game for testing.

The tech tree branch of Pan-American light cruisers will be added to the game for the upcoming closed test session.

Branch features:

• Good rate of fire, but weak armor and a small supply of HP.
• A Repair Party that restores 50% of the damage taken to the citadel starting at Tier II.
• Access to Hydroacoustic Search from Tier IV onward.
• From Tier IV, the ships are also equipped with torpedoes with average characteristics, which can be used as a last-ditch defense if enemy ships come too close.
• Availability of a Fighter beginning at Tier V; Tiers VI, VIII, IX, and X ships have the option to replace it with a Spotter.
  • The Tier VII ship does not have a Fighter or Spotter.
• From Tier VI, the ships have flat ballistics that make it easier to hit enemies at long distances, and there is also a choice between Hydroacoustic Search and Defensive AA Fire in one slot.
• Also from Tier VI, the ships can use Combat Instructions. Mechanically, they work similarly to the Combat Instructions available to superships, but they have different requirements and bonuses.
• Ships of Tier VII and up also have the Repair Party consumable, which restores more HP per second.
