Attention! Outdated news format. Content may not display correctly.

Changes has been made to the naval research trees of Germany and the USSR in order to equalize the speed of player progression and to ensure equal research speed conditions for destroyers.

German Naval research tree changes:

  • S-100 (1944) - has been moved to the right of the S-100 (1945), and it now unlocks the ability to research the SF40. The VS-10 has taken its place in the tree.
  • The SF40 is no longer required to unlock the AF D1.

Thus in order to unlock rank 3 for Germany, a player has to research  both the S-100 (1945) and the VS-10.

USSR Naval research tree changes:

  • The Pr. 1204 Late has now been moved below the Pr. 1124 (1940). It now unlocks research for rank 3 vessels.
  • The Pr. 1204 Late is now required to research the Pr. 183 which has been shifted to the right on the research tree.
  • Frunze, 1940 ("Schastlivy" type) has exchanged places with the Pr. 159 in the research tree.
