A new researchable branch of German hybrid battleships will be added to the game in the upcoming test session.
Each of these ships has main battery guns concentrated at the front of the vessel, with good firing range, but damage per minute, as well as two separate squadrons of tactical aircraft: The first is a squadron of attack aircraft armed with AP-rockets. These will be available right at the start of the match and have a comparatively short reload time, but are few in numbers and offer only limited damage potential. The other squadron are dive bombers equipped with AP bombs. These aircraft are not available to activate at the beginning of a battle and are subject to a significant preparation time. The large number of planes per squadron allows for good damage to be dealt with these aircraft. In both cases, the planes do not return to the ship after use. Instead, in typical hybrid fashion, a full squadron is restored on your ship at once after a specific cooldown.
The new battleships stand out with immense health pools and typical German secondaries with improved range and accuracy, which allows these ships to be useful both in defensive and offensive situations if the need arises. The most vulnerable part of these ships is their large, lightly armored aircraft hangars which form part of the superstructure. Another weakness is the subpar main battery with average accuracy and low salvo weight. This will encourage a playstyle focused on the ships planes and secondary guns, offering an experience of both aggressive brawling and passive support, depending on the situation. The ships' consumables are composed of Damage Control Party and Repair Party with standard characteristics, as well as fighter and spotting aircraft in separate slots.
Please note that the branch is currently under development, so the ship models are still not finalized.
