buffs n nerfs TO TEST 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.
German Cruiser Tier IX Ägir, :
- Main battery firing range increased from 17.0 to 18.5 km;
- Sigma parameter increased from 1.8 to 2.05;
- Main battery reload time reduced from 22 to 20 s;
- Secondary battery firing range reduced from 7.6 to 5.3 km;
- Accuracy settings of secondary armament are adjusted to the standard settings for cruisers
The concept of Ägir initially implied close-range combat with the help of torpedo armament and secondary guns which were uncharacteristically strong for the class. However, her constructive features - bad aiming angles of the aft turret and her armor - didn't allow to fulfill the ship's potential in this role. New settings will make Ägir a mid- and long-range ship, and she will still be effective in close-range combat against single targets.
