EU: Commemorate D-Day With a Free Style

It’s been 78 years since the Allied landings in Normandy on June 6, 1944, but D-Day remains one of the most important military and historical events of the Second World War. It was a turning point: It marked the opening of the Second Front in Western Europe and is often regarded as the beginning of the end of World War II in Europe.

This year, we commemorate the important date with a special set of missions that have you take Utah and Sword Beaches, two key landing spots of the U.S. and U.K. forces. Roll out in your favorite vehicles of either nation to collect customizations and tokens for the final Operation Overlord mission and bag the Overlord 2D style.

Want to challenge yourself? Keep the battles more historical? Choose one of the many vehicles in the game modeled after tanks that liberated French soil as part of their Normandy campaign.

WoWS: Ship balance changes — 0.11.5 Closed Testing

~ Sebastianul ~ 2 Comments

Based on an analysis of their combat effectiveness and player feedback, we’re applying balance changes to the Kansas-Vermont American battleship branch, United States, and submarines.

Kansas-Vermont branch changes

To improve the playability of these ships and highlight their firepower as a feature, part of the characteristics of these American battleships are being changed to those that were previously tested on Connecticut.

The ships will retain their usual gameplay style, with low speed and high salvo weight. However, thanks to their new engine settings, playing on them will become a more dynamic experience. Changes to their armor and their Repair Party consumables, in turn, will increase their survivability, as they often soaked up a lot of damage due to their low speed and large size.
