## What changed
- **Multiple ships** — balance adjustments applied across the fleet based on combat performance data and player reports
## Balance
- **Various ships** — specific statistics modified to address over/underperforming vessels (exact ship names and stat changes not provided in patch notes)
## Overall
Combat statistics and community feedback drove balance adjustments to an unspecified number of ships.
---
**Note:** The patch notes provided lack specific details. To write a complete summary, I would need the actual ship names affected and the precise changes made (e.g., "**Bismarck** — main battery reload time increased from 28s to 30s").
