Soviet Cruisers
Soviet Tier VIII–IX heavy cruisers are coming to Early Access!
Features of the new Tech Tree branch
Effective AP shells with excellent armor penetration capabilities, good ballistics, fewer over-penetrations, and enhanced ricochet angles.
- A relatively long reload time and special accuracy settingsthe ships of the new branch have a larger dispersion ellipse at long distances in comparison to other cruisers.

Submarines are arriving and will be playable in a separate battle type! This will enable us to continue testing the new ship type while we adjust the balance and mechanics on the live server by involving more participants, and won’t affect the other battle types.
