New Soviet Cruisers
We've already announced the new Soviet cruiser subbranch and its features, and today we would like to share the stats of the new ships.
Changes to researchable Soviet cruisers:
- Updated stock hull geometry and visuals for the cruisers Budyonny, Shchors, and Dmitri Donskoi, as well as their AA and secondary guns composition;
- Dmitri Donskoi's researchable hull B will no longer be available.
Features of the Soviet heavy cruisers:
- Effective armor piercing shells: They have high armor penetration for cruisers, good ballistics, and a short fuse arming time (0.022 seconds), which lowers the number of overpenetrations. These shells also have improved ricochet angles: it is possible starting from 55 degrees and guaranteed from 65 degrees;
- These strengths are offset with an average reload time and special accuracy settings: at long ranges, the dispersion ellipse of the new sub-branch ships is bigger than that of other cruisers;
- A combination of their accuracy settings and a Surveillance Radar consumable with a 12 km range makes the new cruisers most effective at medium ranges.
