Based on testing results, we’re applying changes to Schill, Defence, U-4501, Karl XIV Johan, Komissar, Scarlet Thunder, Vrijheid, Tsurugi, Yumihari, Adatara, Picardie and Navarin.

German cruiser Schill, Tier VIII

Bonus to main battery reload provided by the Main Battery Reload Booster consumable reduced: -67 to -50%.
Replaced Fast Damage Control Team consumable with standard Damage Control Party consumable.
Added Repair Party consumable with following parameters: (Action time – 28s, HP per second – 220, Reload time – 120s, Charges – 2, Citadel damage recovered – 10%)

After analyzing the data and player feedback, we decided to increase the ship’s survivability by introducing the Repair Party consumable. As this addition might cause Schill to overperform in battles, we have changed other aspects of the ship accordingly.

Main battery firing range increased: 16.8 to 18.3km.
Detectability by sea reduced: 14.1 to 12.5km.

All other visibility values have been changed accordingly.
