Victoria: Tier IX Spanish Premium Battleship 1945 (Released)

  Victoria: Tier IX Spanish Premium Battleship 1945

A swift battleship that shared the layout and features of the Italian Vittorio Veneto-class warships was considered for construction in Spain through discussions with the Italian government in 1939 and 1940; however, the escalation of World War II and condition of the Spanish economy hindered the implementation of these plans.

Victoria in-game Flag

Details of Change

WG are in the process of trying out multiple concepts for Victoria. In 13.7 WG have moved to a third variant. This time it will be the more "classical" approach for Spanish ships with the Burst Fire mode and regular shells. This burst double shot behaves quite similarly to the one found on the Tech Tree cruisers, although, as it would be a bit too potent for the battleship to have it as is, a penalty to shell damage was added to balance it. The ship has also received Main Battery Reload Booster with reduced charges to help speed the main battery cooldown after Burst Fire in clutch situations.
