Ships

The following ships were added for testing purposes and are not available for purchase, but can be met in battle:

• Diana – A protected cruiser with a powerful main caliber battery and multiple secondary guns.
• Pallada – A classic protected cruiser of the end of the 19th and early 20th century. She has relatively good main caliber guns and multiple secondary guns. A sloped armour deck protects vital parts of the ship.
• Marblehead – A fast scout-cruiser with torpedoes and strong main battery. She also has aviation equipment on board. Marblehead differed from other ships of her class by the location of her main calibre guns in turrets and casemates.
• Cincinnati – A strong and fast light cruiser for her time. Besides multiple rapid-fire guns, she had strong torpedo armament and decent light anti-aircraft guns. She was also equipped to launch scout planes.
• Tachibana – Small and relatively fast destroyer. For her size she had quite powerful torpedo armament. Her main battery consists of a few quick-fire, small caliber guns.
• Sakura – The first destroyer fully designed in Japan. For her time she was fast with decent torpedo armament. Her main battery consisted of a few quick-fire small caliber guns.
• Mikasa – The best ironclad battleship of the Japanese Navy during the Russo-Japanese war. It was very well balanced and had good ammunition, armor and speed for her time. However it was out-performed with the arrival of a new breed of battleships – dreadnoughts.

Reload times for dual purpose guns on Mutsuki (top configuration) have been decreased (they reload faster now).
