A new branch of German destroyers is now live and ready to be researched!
Prepare to fight in the Grand Battle—a new temporary battle type that sets super battleships on their path to dominating our seas! You'll also get to try out the new "adjustment firing" game mechanic when you head into battle at the helms of these vast floating fortresses.
The rocket-launching mechanics of all attack aircraft have evolved.
Damage can no longer be inflicted to allied ships! Rest assured, your ships are now safe (when it comes to friendly fire from your allies, at least)! Reckless teammates can no longer damage or destroy you.
Recruitment Points are being reworked and will re-emerge as a more versatile resource named "Community Tokens."
Prepare your bids for a new auction dedicated to the U.S. Independence Day, and get ready for some combat mission groups that offer Steam post imageSteam post image VII Colorado, clad in her Independence Day permanent camouflage, as the ultimate reward!

German Destroyers
When Update 0.10.5 goes live, German destroyers Steam post imageSteam post image VII Z-31, Steam post imageSteam post image VIII Gustav-Julius Maerker, Steam post image IX Felix Schultz, and X Elbing will join our ranks as researchable ships.
Features of the branch
Accurate 150 mm main battery guns—a large caliber for destroyers.
Powerful AP shells with good penetration and damage-dealing characteristics, as well as enhanced ricochet angles. Deploy them in battle to bring the pain to cruisers!
Their solid HP pools and decent armor protection can shield them from the HE shells of most destroyers (unless an enemy Commander has mastered the Inertia Fuse for HE Shells skill). Combined with their effective artillery, this results in special gameplay for the new German destroyers. They are essentially agile ships that primarily focus on lone targets—light cruisers especially.
Due to the low damage-per-minute stats of their HE shells and the destroyers' high detectability, these new ships aren't cut out for fighting for control of Key Areas.
The Smoke Generator consumable boosts their already good survivability even further. Starting from Tier IX, German destroyers come equipped with the Defensive AA Fire consumable—a valuable asset that will allow you to counter hostile aircraft with greater confidence.
Torpedoes with a standard reload time for most
