European Destroyers: Part 2
The new line of European destroyers is now available for all players to research.
Features of the new Tech Tree branch
Long-range, high-speed torpedoes that deal relatively small damage. They can be set to fan out in two spreads: narrow and super-narrow spread.
Ships of Tier VII and higher are equipped with rapid-firing main battery guns that are effective at short ranges.
Good AA defenses with a solid reach.
Destroyers from Tier VIII and above are equipped with the Defensive AA Fire consumable.
Lack of the Smoke Generator is compensated for by decent concealment.
Destroyers of Tier V and above have the Repair Party consumable at their disposal.
The Strong-Willed Campaign
The new game event is presided over by the new "Strong-Willed" temporary Campaign.
The Campaign comprises five missions, the first of which will become available with the release of Update 0.9.3. Access to the subsequent missions will be unlocked each week.
Please note: you can complete the tasks of each mission multiple times. This will allow you to continue earning Stars with each completion, but you'll only receive the reward after completing the task for the first time.
The Campaign will be available for 6 months.
The reward for finishing the Campaign is a new unique historical Commander, Jerzy Świrski, with 10 skill points and a specialization for Steam post imageSteam post image I Gryf.
The new Commander has the following talents:
Torpedo Reload Expert: reduces the torpedo tube reload time by 5% for every eight "Torpedo hits" ribbons scored. The talent can be activated multiple times.
AA Gun Aiming Expert: increases the continuous damage of AA defenses by 10% for scoring 20 "Aircraft shot down" ribbons. This talent can be activated only once per battle.
Jerzy Świrski also has an improved skill:
Adrenaline Rush: +0.25% (instead of +0.2%) to the reload speed of the ship's armament and squadron speed for each 1% of HP lost.
Half a year after the end of the Campaign, we plan to make Jerzy Świrski available in exchange for Coal in the Armory. Thus, you'll be able to get this Commander at a later date, even if you don't manage to finish the Strong-Willed Campaign.
Random Bundles
The European Navy 2 section of the Armory has been complemented with random bundles. Each bundle can be obtained in exchange for 500 doubloons.
Bundles contain: expendable camouflage
