Commonwealth cruiser Brisbane, American superdestroyer Joshua Humphreys, and Pan-Asian superdestroyer Kunming have been added to the game for testing.
Commonwealth cruiser Brisbane, Tier X
A project for a light cruiser developed after the end of World War II that would have been equipped with powerful and advanced AA defenses, thanks in part to its main battery of ten quick-firing 152 mm dual-purpose guns.
French cruiser Dupleix and German destroyer Z-42 have been added to the game for testing.
French cruiser Dupleix, Tier VI
A Suffren-class heavy cruiser that differed from her sisterships in her armor scheme, which incorporated an internal armor belt. A typical “Treaty” cruiser, heavy gunnery was favored over strong protection.
The ship is armed with eight 203 mm main battery guns placed in four turrets, and a torpedo armament comparable to that found aboard the researchable French heavy cruisers. Her main battery’s low fire rate is compensated by its long range and turret traverse speed, as well as the availability of the Main Battery Reload Booster consumable.

Closed testing of researchable Soviet submarines S-1, L-20, and K-1 will begin in Update 0.11.10
The main role of the new branch in battle is to counter other submarines. Soviet submarines’ torpedoes have low damage and long reload time, but good range and speed. The number of loaders allows only part of the bow and stern torpedo tubes to be reloaded simultaneously similar to how it works on the American submarines. These torpedo characteristics do not allow for high damage per torpedo salvo, so they are less effective against targets with good torpedo protection and good HP pools.
In addition to torpedoes, all submarines in the branch have a player-controlled main battery. It has a low range and number of guns, so it is most often used in combat with other submarines or with ships that have low remaining hit points. Only SAP shells are available.
