General changes of the "Airstrike" om researchable cruisers:

• Increased the bombs drop zone;
• Reduced the time bombs fall;
• Increased the number of bombs dropped by each plane; 
• Reduced the planes' flight height.

Dutch cruiser Kijkduin, Tier VI: (Link)

• Main battery reload time increased from 7 to 8.5 s.
• Changed the "Airstrike" parameters:
  • Reload time increased from 60 to 80 s;
  • Maximum bomb damage reduced from 5800 to 5100;
  • Chance to cause fire by a bomb reduced from 33 to 29%.

Dutch cruiser Eendracht, Tier VII: (Link)

• Main battery reload time increased from 7 to 8.5 s;

  • Reduced the bombs drop zone

The changes will make "Airstrike" more comfortable to use. Now the armament will make dealing damage more consistent, but at the same time the damage from each Airstrike activation will become lower.{alertInfo}
