Tier IX European destroyer Friesland:
Turrets can rotate 360 degrees.
Turret firing angles increased: bow turret by 1 degree, stern turret by 5 degrees to both sides.
AA damage bonus granted by the Defensive AA Fire consumable lowered from +200% to +100%.
Changes to turret rotation and firing angles will make playing the Friesland more comfortable.
Friesland has good AA defense for her class, allowing her to take down large numbers of planes, but the Defensive AA Fire consumable made the destroyer too effective against aircraft.
Tier IX German cruiser Siegfried:
Number of charges for the Repair Party consumable lowered from 3 to 2.
Torpedo range lowered from 8 to 6 km.
Number of the Repair party consumables were aligned with the standard values for cruisers, and torpedo range was aligned with the values of high-tier German cruisers and battleships.
Tier VII Japanese destroyer Yudachi:
Torpedo tubes reload time increased from 91 to 100 s.
After the addition of the Torpedo Reload Booster consumable the total torpedo damage dealt by the destroyer was too great.
Tier X American destroyer Somers:
Main caliber guns reload time increased from 5 to 6 seconds.
The efficiency of the main caliber guns was too great for the torpedo-focused destroyer.
Tier VI British aircraft carrier Ark Royal:
Torpedo bombers squadron size increased from 6 to 9 planes;
Number of torpedo bombers on deck increased from 9 to 14;
Torpedo bombers restoration time decreased from 81 to 59 s;
Armor penetration of HE bombs increased from 18 to 19 mm;
Number of bombs on the plane is lowered from 12 to 8.
Considering the speed of the planes, the size of the torpedo bomber squadron was too small for the tier VI aircraft carrier. Increased armor penetration will allow bombs to penetrate the superstructure of tier VIII battleships, and the lower number of bombs per plane will lower the efficiency of the aircraft carrier primarily against destroyers. This will be compensated by the increased size of the torpedo bombers squadron due to the increased damage dealt to battleships and cruisers.
Re-searchable French destroyers of tiers II - X, French tier V destroyer Siroco, French tier VIII destroyer Le Terrible:
The possibility of incapacitating the engine and steering gears is lowered.
Due to the large size of the modules of French destroyers they were incapacitated too often when the destroyer was hit.
Tier II French destroyer Enseigne Gabolde:
Main caliber guns reload time lowered from 6 to 4.8 s.
Torpedo tubes reload time lowered from 57 to 35 s.
Maximum torpedo damage lowered from 12,233 to 7,433.
Torpedo range increased from 6 to 7 km.
Tier III French destroyer Fusilier:
Hull A:
Torpedo tubes reload time lowered from 57 to 35 s.
Maximum torpedo damage lowered from 12,233 to 7,433.
Torpedo range increased from 6 to 7 km.
Hull B:
Torpedo tubes reload time lowered from 90 to 52 s.
Maximum torpedo damage lowered from 12,233 to 7,433.
Torpedo range increased from 6 to 7.5 km.
Tier IV French destroyer Bourrasque:
Torpedo tubes reload time lowered from 90 to 75 s.
Maximum torpedo damage lowered from 14,833 to 11,267.
Torpedo range lowered from 9 to 7.5 km.
Torpedo speed lowered from 60 to 57 knots.
Tier V French destroyer Jaguar:
Torpedo range lowered from 9 to 8 km.
Torpedo speed increased from 60 to 68 knots.
Tier VI French destroyer Guepard:
Torpedo range lowered from 9 to 8 km.
Torpedo speed increased from 60 to 68 knots.
With the increasing of tiers, the torpedoes of the French destroyers didn't make sense in their progression: their parameters were changing from tier to tier, but they didn't fit the unified system. Changes will bring the torpedoes of these ships in line with the following concept - torpedo range is slightly higher than the detection range of French destroyers, they have good speed and medium damage.
