World of Warships Supertest: US Cruiser Colombia Changes

American cruiser Columbia, tier VIII (ex-Cleveland, moved two tiers up) stats were corrected accordingly. The numbers are preliminary and are subject to change during the testing phase, and AA weaponry composition is the most likely candidate for change.

The new name is a placeholder until the ship is released to avoid confusion with the existing one. Original name will be returned upon release.

• The base 152 mm/47 Mk16 main battery module is no longer available. Only the researchable 152 mm/47 Mk 16 weaponry is availabe, turret rotation time is increased from 5.5 deg/s to 10 deg/s, reload time is decreased from 8 to 7 seconds. Ship’s detectability is decreased fro 13.4 km to 11.88 km.
• Hydroacoustic Search and AA Defensive fire consumables are now in different slots. Surveillance Radar Data is added as an alternative to the Hydroacoustic Search slot. Catapult Fighter is replaced by Spotting Aircraft.

• HP pool and consumables’ stats are now relevant for the tier.

• Hull “A” received stats of hull “B” of Cleveland. New hull “B” is added with relevant improvements.

• AA weaponry composition on the new “B” hull:

• 20-mm Oerlikon Mk20, 9?2, average damage per second – 140, range – 2.0 km;
