Well after 1 year this week we get this major patch update. It includes a two fold introduction of the hotly anticipated tier 12 battleships, along with modifications patching:
And the BIG part of this update includes these four wonderful new ships. Behold the tier 12 battleships. Derived from original plans that were around during WWII that were never totally built or had been re-purposed for aircraft carriers. Some characteristics of the ships have changed and are not true to real life, as they simply would not be up to the required standard for gameplay here. However feast your eyes on these:
IJN A150 - Which is basically a Yamato with another triple gun.
KM H44 the faster bigger brother of the h39, still running 8 guns as standard.
RN Lion 2 which has the addition of a fourth triple gun over it's navyfield 1 counterpart. It also boast the highest defense level
USN Montana, which is pretty much a larger Iowa with the addition of another triple gun.
Three of these ships have an interesting symmetry having four sets of triple guns. What we are all really hoping for is that they play differently and give each nation a unique feel.
As with navyfield 1 the RN Lion 2 was an extremely tough ship to sink, having good natural armor (in this case defence level) and having the smallest length and width of its class. This new one has an additional gun set to add extra umph!
The USN Monata was a fierce battleship in navyfield and could even oneshot a Lion 2 with a perfect full hit, which was tricky for the others ships due to high hang time (yamato) or weaker shell damage (h44).
KM H44 was the master of range and speed in the prequel. It has the same layout as you see above. While being physically weak, it was very quick. We'll have to see if it matches the same style as the original. H44 also had the fastest reloading AA battery to boot that could mess up scouts and bombers.
The IJN A150 you see above is also a big change from the previous iteration. It now has a fourth main gun turret. The current tier 11 Yamato has the heaviest damage in class when landing salvos. This ship looks set to be monstrous in it's damage output.
We can't wait to get our hands on these beauties come post-patch on Thursday.
- all battleship gun turn speeds increased
- all battleship defense levels increased
- a universal 5% increase to destroyer torpedoes against battleships
- and finally a speed reduction for all light cruisers.
Here is the full data changes that will take place
