Changes to   X Yari Ship Page

• Forward firing angles of all torpedo launchers improved.
• Torpedo launcher reload time reduced: 125 to 100s.
• Main battery turret traverse time reduced: 30 to 22.5s.
• Ship engine parameters changed. Acceleration characteristics significantly improved. 
• Removed the ability to mount the “Propulsion Modification 1” upgrade due to it becoming redundant.
• Rudder shift time reduced: 7.7 to 5.1s.
• Surface detectability range reduced: 12.2 to 11.7km.
  • All other detectability ranges adjusted accordingly 

As was previously done with Victoria, we intend to test Yari in several varying sets of parameters in order to evaluate the viability of a number of concepts. After that we will choose the concept best suited for the ship before its release. The changes listed above will shape Yari into a highly specialized, stealthy and nimble ship capable of launching a very large number of torpedoes within a short period of time. At the same time, while the high caliber of its main guns may allow Yari to hold its own in a short skirmish with another cruiser, the low damage per minute will result in her being at a severe disadvantage in any prolonged confrontation.
