We’re here to share some info about new content that will be landing in-game in the near future.

Submarines

Submarines have come a long way: Since the announcement in the summer of 2019, we’ve gone through three tests, a temporary “Submarine battle” event on the main server, and again a test on a separate server in October 2020. During this time, a lot of feedback and statistics were collected, on the basis of which changes have been made to almost all the mechanics associated with the new ship type:

• Oxygen meter replaced by battery charge;
• Updated sonar ping;
• Added Anti Submarine Warfare (ASW) capabilities to a number of battleships and cruisers;
• Changed diving mechanics.

These and many other improvements have been made based on test results, but work is ongoing, and today we will share further plans and upcoming changes.

The changes will be applied to Thunderer, Stalingrad, Flint, and other ships. Further changes will be made to Tiger’59.

Having analyzed combat performance and taken player feedback into account, we’ve changed the characteristics of several ships, including special ships Thunderer and Stalingrad. These changes were required in order to carefully adjust the balance of the mentioned warships. As usual, we’ll monitor the impact of the changes and the general balance of the ships and apply changes if deemed necessary.

X Thunderer:

• Main battery firing range reduced from 23 to 21,5 km.

X Stalingrad:

• Action time of the «Surveillance Radar» consumable reduced from 25 to 20 s.

VII Flint:

• Main battery firing range increased from 11.1 to 11.9 km;
• Main battery reload time increased from 4.9 to 5.1 s.

X Grozovoi:

Testing the improved combat camera.

The first test of the updated combat camera settings will take place in the near future. We’ve made a number of changes to make the battle overview more informative and comfortable. After testing and tuning, we will share the details.

We adjusted the parameters of some ships based on testing results. The changes will be applied to Dutch cruisers, Napoli, Druid, Constellation, and some other ships.

X Napoli: 

• Sigma parameter increased from 1.9 to 2.05
• Secondary battery parameters were changed:
  • 152 mm guns’ reload time reduced from 8 to 7.2 s;
  • 90 mm guns’ reload time reduced from 3.5 to 3.2 s;
  • Their accuracy has been improved: the secondary battery of Napoli will be one of the most accurate in the game.

In her concept, Napoli is an armored cruiser with decent concealment, powerful main battery guns, as well as an accurate secondary battery which has a long range for her class and is equipped with SAP shells. As the first test stages showed that her secondaries were not as powerful as was planned, we adjusted their parameters accordingly. These changes will stronger emphasize the concept of Napoli as a cruiser with an effective secondary battery.

X Druid:
