German unique commander Günther Lütjens
Soon we will be testing a unique German commander, so today we are ready to reveal the current concept of his talents and improved skills:
Secondary Armament Expert: after receiving 100 "Secondary hits" ribbons, the reload time of secondary armament is reduced by 15%. Talent can be activated once per battle.
Iron Strike: after receiving 140 "Main battery hits" ribbons, the reload time of the main battery is reduced by 7.5%. Talent can be activated once per battle.
Exemplary Reconnaissance: after receiving 3 "Spotted " ribbons, the ship's hit points are partially restored. The talent restores 300 hit points per second. Its duration in seconds is equal to the ship's tier (e.g. Tier V = 5 seconds; Tier VI = 6 seconds; etc.). This talent can be activated repeatedly.
Air superiority: After receiving 30 "Rocket hits", "Bomb hits", or "Torpedo hits" ribbons, the aircraft restoration time is reduced by 10%. Talent can be activated once per fight.
While working on Günther Lütjens' talents, we wanted to create a commander who would bring something to the table for each class of ships. Therefore, each one of his four talents complements one of them:
"Secondary Armament Expert" will strengthen one of the main advantages of German battleships - a powerful secondary armament.
"Iron Strike" will most often be activated on cruisers, giving them a decent increase in rate of fire.
"Exemplary Reconnaissance" will prove especially useful to destroyer captains. The ability to recover hit points will increase their combat effectiveness. The scouting/flanking playstyle of destroyers also make it quite easy to earn "Spotted" ribbons in this type of ship.
"Air superiority" only works for aircraft carriers.
The new commander also has the following improved skills:
Preventive Maintenance: -45% to the risk of modules becoming incapacitated instead of the basic -30%.
Expert Marksman: +3 deg/sec to the traverse speed of turrets with a gun caliber up to 139 mm and +1 deg/sec to the traverse speed of turrets with a gun caliber above 139 mm instead of basic +2.5/0.7 deg/sec.
Improved Engine Boost: +12.5% to the aircraft engine boost time instead of the basic -10%.
Test ships
The publication with the characteristics of the American Tier X cruiser Puerto Rico contained a small inaccuracy: it was stated that the maximum dispersion of the ship's shells is 206 m, but in fact it is 248 m and the ship was tested with this value.
