NEW SHIPS - CLOSED TEST 12.4
A branch of Spanish cruisers has been added to the game for testing, as well as Dutch cruiser Van Speijk, German cruiser Schill, and Pan-Asian destroyer Lüshun.
For the upcoming closed testing session, a branch of Spanish cruisers will be added to the game.
Ships of this branch rely on main battery guns with good firing range. They are also armed with torpedoes, which have short range. The ships have good concealment but mediocre maneuverability.
Starting from Tier VII, the ships gain access to the "Burst Fire" alternative fire mode, which additionally increases AP shell penetration and damage. Main battery guns have flat ballistics, but low damage per minute. The ships also have high speed.
The new ships have a good choice of consumables:
Hydroacoustic Search starting from Tier IV and the option to instead equip Defensive AA Fire in the same slot starting from Tier VI.
Repair party and Fighter or Spotting aircraft in one slot starting from Tier VII
Spanish cruiser Jupiter, Tier I
In the 1930s, Spain began building a new class of minelayers, all named after Roman gods. Jupiter-class ships were also to serve as gunboats, for which they received effective gunnery. While still under construction, the lead ship of the Jupiter-class was captured by the Nationalists during the Spanish Civil War. After commissioning, the ship participated in the blockade of the Republican coast in the Bay of Biscay by intercepting transports and setting up minefields - the same minefields that caused the sinking of Nationalist battleship España in April 1937.
Spanish cruiser Méndez Núñez, Tier II
The ships Blas de Lezo and Méndez Núñez, based on the British C-class cruisers, were laid down in 1917. Since the first ship of the class couldn't be completed in time for the 100th birthday of its intended namesake Admiral Méndez Núñez in 1924, the names were switched around and Méndez Núñez became the name of the second ship of the class. With the outbreak of the civil war, the crew of the cruiser Méndez Núñez remained on the side of the Republicans. During the war, the cruiser escorted merchant ships and took part in the battle at Cape Palos. In 1938, Méndez Núñez was damaged by Nationalist bombers.
Spanish cruiser Navarra, Tier III
Named after the wife of the reigning king of Spain at the time, Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg, this ship was laid down in March 1915. The project was based on British cruiser Birmingham. In 1923–26 the ship took part in the Rif War, in 1928–29 she underwent a major overhaul, and in 1930 she was transferred to the naval school in Cadiz. With the proclamation of the Second Spanish Republic, the cruiser was renamed República. With the outbreak of the civil war, the ship went over to the side of the Nationalists and in 1937 changed its name again, this time to Navarra.
Spanish cruiser Almirante Cervera, Tier IV
In 1922, together with the British company Armstrong, a project was created for new cruisers for the Spanish fleet. The project was based on British E-class cruisers and took into account the experience of World War I. The Spanish cruisers differed from their prototype in the location of the power plant. At the beginning of the civil war, a fight took place on the cruiser Almirante Cervera: Republican loyalists tried to take the ship out of port, but were defeated by Nationalist officers. The cruiser took part in the blockade of the coast, supported the advance of the troops with fire, escorted convoys, and participated in the battle of Cape Palos.
Spanish cruiser Galicia, Tier V
The cruiser Príncipe Alfonso was renamed Libertad with the formation of the republic. With the outbreak of the civil war, the ship remained on the side of the Republic, although it was commanded by a cousin of Francisco Franco. At Cape Tenes, Libertad scored several hits on the Nationalist heavy cruiser Baleares, and at Cape Palos she engaged both enemy heavy cruisers. The ship was later damaged by several Italian air raids. When Libertad fell into the hands of the Francoist government, it received the name Galicia.
Spanish cruiser Baleares, Tier VI
In 1926, Spain ordered two modern "Washington Treaty" cruisers. Vickers-Armstrong created a project based on the County-class cruisers with increased air defense and armor. The cruisers were named Canarias and Baleares after the major Spanish archipelagos. The construction was delayed, but the Nationalists who seized the shipyards forced the completion of the cruisers. Beleares participated in the attack on Malaga, in the hunt for transports, raids on coastal fortifications, and the bombardment of cities. The cruiser was sunk by Republican destroyers at the Battle of Cape Palos.
Spanish cruiser Asturias, Tier VII
Ties between the government of fascist Italy and the Francoist regime strengthened after the latter claimed victory in the Spanish Civil War. These connections were also manifested in the field of naval construction: Spain planned to familiarize itself with the latest achievements in Italian shipbuilding in order to strengthen its fleet. The Italian company Ansaldo developed three projects for a heavy cruiser for Spain, which differed from each other in the composition of their armament. One of the options included an armament composed of four 203 mm twin-gun mounts.
Spanish cruiser Cataluña, Tier VIII
After the victory of the Nationalists in the civil war, ties between Spain and fascist Italy grew stronger. Suffering from an insufficient number of modern ships of all classes, Spain planned to familiarize itself with the latest achievements in Italian shipbuilding in order to strengthen its fleet. The Italian company Ansaldo developed three projects for a heavy cruiser for Spain, which differed from each other in the composition of their armament. Another one of the projects included an armament composed of three 203 mm triple-gun mounts.
Spanish cruiser Andalucía, Tier IX
In parallel with the work on the construction and repair of ships for the fleet, Francoist Spain was developing new ships. In 1938, five destroyer projects and several cruiser projects with a displacement of 7,920 to 19,000 tons were planned out. The largest was project 138 - "a cruiser with a speed of 36 knots" with different options for the main battery. The option of building a cruiser using the turrets from the battleship España was considered. The most common variant is the three triple-gun turrets with guns ranging in caliber from 203 to 254 mm.
Spanish cruiser Castilla, Tier X
Simultaneously with their own development of heavy cruisers, Spanish engineers were in close contact with their Italian colleagues and adopted from them the latest achievements in the field of armor and armament of ships. The knowledge gained could well result in a project created on the basis of a synthesis of Italian and Spanish naval thought - the projects of the Ansaldo cruisers and the project of the "super-Washington" cruiser from the Ferrol shipyard.

Ship naming reason
By the 1930s, one of three options had traditionally been used for the naming of the cruisers of the Spanish Navy. The first, in honor of famous commanders who distinguished themselves on the battlefield, such as Méndez Núñez or Almirante Cervera. The second, in honor of the royal family, like Reina Victoria Eugenia and Príncipe Alfonso. But in 1931, Spain became a Republic and these ships were renamed, República and Libertad, respectively. However, their naming adventures did not end there: the first landed in hands of the Nationalists in 1936, the second in 1939. Since Franco had no immediate intention to restore the monarchy, naming ships after members of the royal family was scrapped.
Therefore, a third option was used - historical regions of Spain. Such names in 1936 were already received by the new cruisers Canarias and Baleares - for the Canary and Balearic Islands. República became Navarra, and Libertad became Galicia: the province of Navarre supported Franco in the civil war, and he himself was from Galicia. However, such names had a long tradition: from 1903 to 1929, the cruiser Cataluña (“Catalonia”) served in the Spanish fleet, and at the end of the 19th century, Aragón (“Aragon”) and Castilla (“Castile”) served and sank at the battle of Manila with the United States Navy in 1898. We decided to follow the same rule, adding to this series the names of the coastal regions of Asturias and Andalucía (Andalusia).
