The changes will be applied to Thunderer, Stalingrad, Flint, and other ships. Further changes will be made to Tiger’59.
Having analyzed combat performance and taken player feedback into account, devs changed the characteristics of several ships, including special ships Thunderer and Stalingrad. These changes were required in order to carefully adjust the balance of the mentioned warships.
