0.9.3 "Buffs' n' Nerfs" to Premium and Researchable Ships
Please note that all information in the development blog is preliminary and subject to change during testing. Showcased features may or may not end up on the main server. Any final information will be published on our game's website.
* The base torpedo modules of Tier V-IX researchable European destroyers will become researchable.
* The new base torpedo module parameters for each ship will be equal to those of the researchable torpedo module of the previous tier destroyer.
* In case you already have one of these European destroyers in Port, the researchable torpedo module will already be mounted on the ship, and the base module will be moved to the Inventory.
This change will make the advancement of European destroyers' torpedoes consecutive, like with other nations' torpedo destroyers.
In the second stage of the Public test for Update 0.9.3, we've changed the characteristics of several ships, having analysed their combat performance and taken player feedback into account. Such changes were required in order to carefully adjust the balance of selected warships. We'll continue to introduce changes in the updates that will follow, if deemed necessary.
