 US Hybrids Key Features

US Hybrids Key Features

The new battleships stand out with good manoeuvrability and speed, which makes it possible to change flanks if the need arises. The most vulnerable part of these ships is their large, lightly armoured aircraft hangars which form part of the superstructure. Thanks to their good firing range and fully controllable aircraft squadrons, these newcomers can provide effective support to their team. The ships’ consumables are composed of Damage Control Party and Repair Party with standard characteristics, as well as a Fighter.

As far as Anti-Submarine tools, these ships will come equipped with a standard Depth Charge Airstrike. If testing of this armament on the American branch of researchable hybrid battleships is successful, WG will consider adding this armament to the hybrid ships already present in the game.
