Admiral Scheer Change History

14.8Test shipsDev Blog 2025-08-27 ↗
- Buffmain battery reload time23 → 20.5 s
- Overall shell ballistics changed. They will become slightly flatter similar to that on Deutschland.
- AP shell penetration is increased to be similar again to Deutschland.
- Secondary battery accuracy improved. It's now in line with the higher tiers of the line.
14.7Test shipsDev Blog 2025-08-21 ↗
(substitute ship for Deutschland until we are ready to show it) and
- Added ability to manually control Secondary battery, similarly to higher tiers of the branch
- Sigma value increased from: 2 to 2.15
- Repair Party consumable removed to balance these ships in favor of improving their Main battery and adding manual Secondary battery feature, which is more important to the overall concept of the branch, as we want to avoid their overperformance.
Detectability range by sea reduced: 13.3 to 12.8km
- All other detectability ranges adjusted accordingly
