ST, new type of shells
Soon there will be closed testing of the new mechanics of semi-armor piercing shells. Please note that if this concept of semi-armor piercing shells will be successfully tested, detailed information about its area of usage will be announced later.
Semi-armor piercing shells - a new type of shell, similar to high explosive terms of in armor penetration mechanics, which means that the shell explodes immediately after hitting the ship. However, the armor penetration of the semi-armor piercing shells will be higher than that of high explosive ones. The difference between this type of shell and high explosive shells is that they are not capable of causing fire or damaging the modules of the ship by the blast wave. When firing semi-armor piercing shells, it is possible to ricochet.
Semi-armor piercing shells, when properly used, can do more damage than high explosive shells, but the absence of fires and the presence of ricochets will give players the opportunity to effectively withstand this type of ammunition.
Please note that the information in the Development Blog is preliminary.

The Italian Navy was known for using these types of shells instead of HE, so this may be foreshadowing their national flavor. Semi AP instead of HE would really go a long ways towards helping Roma. And the cruisers would be anti-DD/CL specialists. If they do make this the Italian flavor, though, the big question is if they'll also adjust the premiums. If Abruzzi and d'Aosta keep their HE, they would become as useless of captain trainers as Belfast and Exeter. And as I previously mentioned, Roma could definitely use semi AP, though Cesare doesn't need it.
