ST. Destroyer plating changes.
We're continuing to work on situations, when battleships cause too much damage with AP shells to destroyers. This happens when destroyers are at an angle and the shells arm inside the hulls.
One of solutions that will be tested in a closed environment is decrease of destroyer plating from 19 to 13 mm.
This will only apply to tier X ships on the test, but might later spread to tier VI, VII, VIII and IX ships.
Other specific protection traits, like Khabarovsk's increased armor, will remain.
The plating change will make it impossible for AP shells of 380 mm and higher caliber to arm above the surface, which will lead to decrease in overall damage from AP shells to destroyers.
Possibility of dealing damage with such shells if they arm in the water still remains, but it is pretty low to begin with.
Value of heavy cruisers in battle will increase, since 203 mm AP shells will stop ricocheting off of destroyers' plating. This will also affect Akizuki's 100 mm main batteries and battleship secondaries - their HE shells will start to penetrate the plating and deal damage to destroyers.
This way the amount of damage received by destroyers should remain the same on average, but the bulk of it will come from cruisers and battleships secondaries.

1. 현재 구축함이 철갑탄에 확찢 당하는 현상을 해결하기 위해 노력중
2. 그래서 내부 테스트로 10티어 구축함 장갑을 19밀에서 13밀로 낮추는걸 고려중. 그리고 잘 되면 하위티어에 적용 예정
3. 하바롭같은 특별한 장갑은 보존됨
4. 이후 8인치 이상되는 철갑탄에 더 이상 관통판정 안뜨기 위해서 개선해 나갈것.
5. 이러한 변경은 아키즈키 트리의 100mm 주포와 전함 부포에도 영향을 미칠것임.
