  • Maximum AP shell damage: 2,100.
  • AP initial velocity: 792 m/s.
• Changed Main Battery Reload Booster consumable:
  • There is now a limited number of charges.
    • Number of Charges: 2.
  • Cooldown time increased from 145 sec to 180 ssec.
  • Action time reduced from 25 sec to 15 sec.
• Changed Defensive AA Fire consumable:

Added the “Repair Party” consumable, with the following characteristics:

Yeah, I knew she'll probably get repair party at the very beginning......

It seems that the protest in NA forum had worked well, WG finally made her a less gimmicky ship by significantly buffing her DPM and cutting down her MBRB gimmick.

Cool, now buff Austin.

Also do subs really need a shorter arming time for point blanking ships?

Needed to happen. The United States was way too much of a glass cannon.

Too vulnerable to BB snipes while having disgustingly OP damage on the tactical torpedo squadrons.

Seriously the damage on those torps feels stronger than even the RTS CVs. 1 squadron is nearly enough to one-shot a Tier 10 BB if all 4 torps hit...

8.5 sec reduced to 5 sec............

We now have a "T8 Austin in testing" with ~50% more base SAP dpm than its T10 counterpart.

This is gonna be fun to watch.

about San Diego i think her stats more than enough for HER to be "Watashi wa Numba 1" on same tier or when she become top tier....
although the AA stats still bit questionable when facing T10... IMHO

san diego meem soon
