CT 12.3: 3x New Ships - VII West Virginia ‘44, American Hybrid Destroyer IX Halford and European Destroyer IX Jäger
American battleship West Virginia ‘44, American hybrid destroyer Halford and European destroyer Jäger have been added to the game for testing.
VII West Virginia ‘44 - American Battleship
West Virginia '44 is equipped with a powerful secondary battery with long range, good accuracy and fast reload, and has a well-protected citadel due to wide and thick torpedo bulges. This allows the ship to fight effectively at short and medium distances. The main battery is represented by eight short-range 406mm guns in four turrets. Her AP shells have high damage and armor penetration, and her HE shells are standard for the ship type and Tier.
West Virginia '44 has a short turning radius, but very low speed and fairly high detectability. The equipment is represented by an improved "American" Repair Party, as well as a Fighter or Spotting Aircraft to choose from.

IX Halford - American Hybrid Destroyer
Halford is the first hybrid destroyer in our game. She is armed with an attack aircraft tactical squadron. Due to the small size of the ship, the principle of launching a squadron will differ from other hybrids - only one aircraft will be launched from the catapult, which will be joined by the rest of the squadron, which is already in the air. The aircraft are armed with powerful Tiny Tim rockets with high damage and armor penetration.
Halford is equipped with four 127 mm main battery guns with a good rate of fire and arcing shell ballistics, as well as one five-tube torpedo launcher with long-range torpedoes. In addition, the ship has high manoeuvrability. Among her shortcomings: a small amount of HP and the absence of a Smoke Generator consumable. Halford’s consumables consist of Engine Boost or Defensive AA Fire to choose from in one slot.

IX Jäger - European Austro-Hungarian Destroyer
Jäger is a stealthy torpedo destroyer. It has very low visibility and is armed with four triple-tube torpedo launchers with trademark "European" launch spreads: narrow and ultra-narrow. The torpedoes themselves are characterized by high speed and range, as well as fast reload, but low damage per torpedo.
The main battery is represented by three 150-mm guns with a short firing range and not the highest rate of fire. Jäger has a small amount of HP and weak anti-aircraft weapons as well. Available consumables: Repair Party and Engine Boost.
