WoWS: Clan season “Albatross” – ship restrictions & Closed Test 0.11.3 – Superships in the tech tree

Details about the upcoming ship restrictions in the 16th Clan Battles Season.

After the analysis of battles in the current Clan season, it was decided to implement the following ship limits:

  • Banned ships: X Petropavlovsk.

Restrictions will come into effect on the 16th of March, 11:30 UTC.

By now, Superships have been through several different rounds of live testing, starting with Grand Battle in Update 0.10.5, and followed by their presence in the 5th season of Ranked, in Co-op battles since 0.10.10, and in Randoms since 0.11.0. In Update 0.11.3, Superships will finally exit testing and make a permanent appearance in the national tech trees.

Access to Superships

Even though they will appear as a progression of Tier X ships on the tech tree, Superships are not just a simple continuation of the existing branches, but a mechanically distinct feature altogether. To further emphasize their unique status in our game, we’ve decided that only players who own or have researched at least three Tier X ships will have access to them. Furthermore, in order to purchase a Supership, a player must have also researched the Tier X ship of the corresponding branch. With these restrictions in place, we can ensure that it is far more likely that players commanding Superships into battle already have significant game experience under their belt.

The purchasing cost of Superships depends on their class:

WoWS: Patrie — 0.11.3 Closed Testing

French Super battleship Patrie will enter the game for closed testing in the upcoming session.

French Super battleship Patrie

A battleship armed with twelve 431 mm guns and an AA battery composed of 1950s-era weaponry.

In keeping with the theme of high-tier French battleships, Patrie enjoys a good top speed, a strongly protected citadel, and enhanced agility thanks to the Engine Boost consumable and a unique Combat Instructions effect.

With regard to armament, the main battery’s twelve 431 mm guns are spread across three quadruple turrets and have a high rate of fire. The quickfiring secondary battery boasts a long range.
