British Tier VI battleship Repulse and European Tier X destroyer Ragnar were added to the game for testing.
European destroyer Ragnar, Tier X
A large postwar destroyer with long-range “cruiser” artillery consisting of four 152 mm guns in two turrets.
In addition to the effective artillery, the destroyer is distinguished by her high number of hit points and powerful AA. However, the ship lacks the torpedo armament.
In the fight for key areas, the destroyer has an imposing presence thanks to her “Surveillance radar” and “Repair party”, but her high detectability and lack of a “Smoke Generator” encourage a cautious approach. As for damage dealing, the best tactic is to open fire from a long distance. Avoid the focus of enemy fire — it’s better to choose either lone targets or ships that are already engaged in a firefight with your allies.
British battleship Repulse, Tier VI
A Renown class battlecruiser armed with six 381 mm guns in three twin turrets, similar to those mounted on Queen Elizabeth class battleships.
The battleship has high speed and a large number of hit points, but relatively weak armor.
Thanks to her good range and accuracy, the best tactic for Repulse is to play at long range. Her high movement speed will help to quickly change flanks and take advantageous positions.
La corazzata britannica di livello VI Repulse e il cacciatorpediniere europeo di livello X Ragnar sono stati aggiunti al gioco per i test.
Cacciatorpediniere europeo Ragnar, livello X
Un grande cacciatorpediniere del dopoguerra con artiglieria “incrociatore” a lungo raggio composto da quattro cannoni da 152 mm in due torrette.
Oltre all’artiglieria efficace, il cacciatorpediniere si distingue per l’elevato numero di punti ferita e il potente AA. Tuttavia, la nave non dispone dell’armamento siluro.
Nella lotta per le aree chiave, il cacciatorpediniere ha una presenza imponente grazie al suo “radar di sorveglianza” e alla “squadra di riparazione”, ma la sua elevata rilevabilità e la mancanza di un “generatore di fumo” incoraggiano un approccio cauto. Per quanto riguarda il danno, la tattica migliore è aprire il fuoco da una lunga distanza. Evita il fuoco del nemico: è meglio scegliere bersagli solitari o navi che sono già impegnate in uno scontro a fuoco con i tuoi alleati.
Corazzata britannica Repulse, livello VI
Un incrociatore da battaglia di classe Renown armato con sei cannoni da 381 mm in tre torrette gemelle, simili a quelli montati sulle corazzate di classe Queen Elizabeth.
La corazzata ha un’elevata velocità e un gran numero di punti ferita, ma un’armatura relativamente debole.
Grazie alla sua buona distanza e precisione, la migliore tattica per Repulse è giocare a lunga distanza. La sua elevata velocità di movimento aiuterà a cambiare rapidamente i fianchi e ad assumere posizioni vantaggiose.
