CT 0.11.11: 3 x New Ships X Brisbane - Super Destroyer Kunming - Super Destroyer Joshua Humphreys
Closed testing of 3 x new ships X Brisbane - Super Destroyers Kunming and Joshua Humphreys will begin in Update 0.11.11
Brisbane Tier X Commonwealth Light Cruiser
A project for a light cruiser developed after the end of World War II that would have been equipped with powerful and advanced AA defences, thanks in part to its main battery of ten quick-firing 152 mm dual-purpose guns.
Brisbane resembles Minotaur but with access to HE shells and a reinforced torpedo armament that can launch a greater number of torpedoes. The torpedoes themselves have a higher range and speed than those of the ship’s British counterpart. Not all differences are advantages, however, as Brisbane’s AP shells lack the improved characteristics that Minotaur’s have.
This cruiser poses a serious threat at medium distances, especially for enemy destroyers due to her Hydroacoustic Search and Surveillance Radar consumables. At the same time—as most Minotaur captains can attest to—Brisbane’s armour is not the sturdiest, and unlike Minotaur, this ship cannot switch out her Surveillance Radar for a Smoke Generator for an added layer of security. In case of heavy damage, though, she can restore a large part of her lost HP with the Specialized Repair Teams consumable.

Kunming Pan-Asian Super Destroyer
An evolution of the American Somers-class, this destroyer is fast, well-armed, and features enhanced torpedo and anti-aircraft armament.
Kunming follows the gameplay concept of existing researchable Pan-Asian destroyers. The main difference between this ship and Yueyang is an additional main battery turret, a longer firing range, and more torpedo tubes. Her powerful deepwater torpedoes that have a low detectability and an increased chance to cause flooding are suitable for performing stealthy torpedo attacks on large targets.
Thanks to her Smoke Generator with a large number of charges and accelerated cooldown, this superdestroyer can effectively fight for control of Key Areas and make a quick retreat in case of a bad engagement. The Surveillance Radar consumable is available as an alternative to Smoke Generator in the same slot, which gives its own advantages in hunting enemy destroyers and supporting allies. It’s important to remember that the ship has a rather small HP pool and a below-average damage per second on her main battery guns.
Kunming also has access to the Engine Boost and Torpedo Reload Booster consumables in separate slots.

Joshua Humphreys American Super Destroyer
A destroyer structurally similar to the Gearing-class ships. The main armament of this supership consists of powerful 127 mm post-war dual-purpose mounts, complemented with two five-tube torpedo launchers.
Joshua Humphreys is a faster and more agile ship with six main battery guns and access to the “Burst Fire” alternative firing mode. In addition to a greatly increased fire rate, the alternative mode grants a temporary bonus to HE shells' damage and chance to set fire. The ship’s strong gunnery and large HP pool allow her to effectively contest Key Areas while posing a serious threat to enemy destroyers.
The torpedo armament has a high range, but not the greatest speed and damage. Joshua Humphreys stands out for her good concealment and access to the signature American Smoke Generator consumable with a smoke screen dispersion time. The remainder of her arsenal of consumables is composed of an Engine Boost and Defensive AA Fire in the same slot.
