ST 0.10.3 - 4 x New Test Ships
American Tier VIII battleship Constellation, British Tier X destroyer Druid, Italian Tier X cruiser Napoli, and Commonwealth Tier VII battleship Yukon have been added to the game for testing.
Constellation American Tier VIII Battleship
The Lexington-class battlecruiser Constellation was laid down in 1920 with the prospect of becoming one of the largest battlecruisers of its time, but ultimately wasn't completed due to the entry in effect of the Washington Naval Treaty. In the game, Constellation is classified as a battleship, receiving 8 accurate 406-mm guns in 4 turrets and an unusual consumable for the class - a "Surveillance Radar" with a range of 10 km. at the same time, the ship has weak armor. Additionally, the ship is kitted out with 2 three-tube torpedo tubes, equipped with powerful torpedoes with a maximum range of 9.2 km. The role of this battleship is to support allies with powerful fire at long and medium ranges.
Specifications:
Druid British Tier X Destroyer
A "Super Destroyer" armed with universal 127 mm mounts developed in Great Britain in the early 1950s. Both two-gun mounts are located on the bow of the ship, allowing for its maximum firepower to be brought to bear without having to show broadside. Similarly to the British light cruisers branch, Druid can only fire AP shells that have a low fuse delay and excellent penetration angles, providing a minimal number of ricochets and over-penetrations. The destroyer has no torpedo tubes. Druid is equipped with the following consumables: "Short-Range Hydroacoustic Search", "Short-Burst Smoke Generator" and "Specialized Repair Teams", healing 1.5% of the maximum HP per second. The ship is an artillery destroyer that is effective in supporting allies with rapid-fire from cover and smoke, as well as in combat with other destroyers.
Specifications:
Napoli Italian Tier X Heavy Cruiser
Napoli is a project of a large heavy cruiser armed with 254 mm guns, developed by Ansaldo in the second half of the 1930s. The ship stands out for her decent armor and concealment, an accurate secondary battery that uses SAP shells, an "Exhaust Smoke Generator" consumable, and the capability of firing 4 torpedoes from each side at a distance of 13.5 km. The cruiser has a short firing range, which should be taken into account when choosing tactics.
Specifications:
Yukon was added to the game - an analogue of Monarch as far as the base hull. The ship differs from her counterpart in having lower visibility (13.2 km versus 14.6 km), by the presence of the "Specialized Repair Teams" consumable, and by the lower damage and armor penetration of her HE shells.
