ST 0.10.2: Buffs 'n' Nerfs to Test Ships: Weimar, Napoli, Max Immelmann, Hyūga, Elbing, Maerker, Schultz, Z-31.
WG have adjusted the parameters of some ships based on testing results. The changes will be applied to German destroyers, Weimar, M. Immelmann, Hyuga and Napoli.
X Elbing German Destroyer 1940:
Torpedo parameters were changed:
- Range increased from 8 to 13,5 km.
- Speed reduced from 65 to 50 knots;
- Detectability range reduced from 1,3 to 1,2 km.
- Maximum damage increased from 13,700 to 16,533.
The effectiveness of the torpedoes against armoured targets will become higher due to their greater damage and range, but their low speed will make it difficult to score hits against manoeuvrable targets.
IX Felix Schultz German Destroyer 1938:
Torpedo parameters were changed:
- Range increased from 7,5 to 12 km.
- Speed reduced from 62 to 50 knots;
- Detectability range reduced from 1,3 to 1,2 km.
- Maximum damage increased from 13,700 to 16,533.
The effectiveness of the torpedoes against armoured targets will become higher due to their greater damage and range, but their low speed will make it difficult to score hits against manoeuvrable targets.
VIII Gustav Julius Maerker German Destroyer 1937:
Torpedo parameters were changed:
- Range increased from 7 to 12 km.
- Speed reduced from 61 to 50 knots;
- Detectability range reduced from 1,3 to 1,2 km.
- Maximum damage increased from 13,700 to 16,533.
The effectiveness of the torpedoes against armoured targets will become higher due to their greater damage and range, but their low speed will make it difficult to score hits against manoeuvrable targets.
VII Z-31 German Destroyer 1942:
Torpedo parameters were changed:
- Range increased from 7 to 10 km.
- Speed reduced from 61 to 50 knots;
- Detectability range reduced from 1,3 to 1,2 km.
- Maximum damage increased from 13,700 to 16,533.
The effectiveness of the torpedoes against armoured targets will become higher due to their greater damage and range, but their low speed will make it difficult to score hits against manoeuvrable targets.
VII Weimar German Light Cruiser 1936:
- Main battery firing range reduced from 15,4 to 13,3 km.
- Detectability range by sea reduced from 13,8 to 13,1 km. Other detectability ranges were reduced accordingly.
X Max Immelmann German Aircraft Carrier 1945:
Parameters of skip bombers were changed:
VII Hyūga Japanese Battleship 1918:
X Napoli Italian Heavy Cruiser 1936:
- Maximum bomb damage lowered from 12,200 to 11,000;
- Chances of HE shells causing fire lowered from 69% to 63%;
- Maximum torpedo damage of stock and researchable torpedo bombers lowered from 5,330 to 4,767;
VII Hyūga Japanese Battleship 1918:
- Main battery reload time increased from 26 to 28 sec.
X Napoli Italian Heavy Cruiser 1936:
The dispersion ellipse at long range will increase more than before;
- Sigma parameter was reduced from 2,05 to 1,9.
All stats are listed without crew and upgrade modifiers but with best available modules. The stats are subject to change during the testing.
Please note! that all information in this post is preliminary. Announced adjustments and features may change multiple times during testing. The final information will be published stated as FINAL on our WGB website.
