Event “American Battleships, Part 2”

Update 0.9.10 will host the second part of the event dedicated to the new sub-branch of American battleships. In honor of him a new collection “Always Courageous” has been added.

The reward for collecting the sections is the “Wings”, “Stars”, “Stars and Stripes” patches and 5 expendable “Stars ‘n Stripes” camouflages, for the entire collection – Oklahoma with the “Military” permanent camouflage.

WoWS ST 0.9.10, Italian Battleships

~ Sebastianul ~ 2 Comments

Researchable Italian battleships will be added to the game in the upcoming supertest session.

The ships of the new branch are most effective in combat at medium range. The main features of the Italian battleships:

  • Like the Italian cruisers, instead of HE shells, the new ships are armed with SAP shells. They inflict high damage on weakly and moderately protected targets and ship parts, but do not cause fires.
  • The “Exhaust smoke generator” is among the consumables of the Italian battleships, which will allow you to hide from the enemy without sacrificing speed.
  • A large number of guns with a relatively short firing range and not very good accuracy.
  • Secondary battery with good accuracy, but short range
  • Decent concealment and average maneuverability, quickly turning turrets and rather good armor.

Big hunt: Key to Victory!

To celebrate Halloween, a new temporary type of battle has been added: Key battle.

16 players will be let loose on a giant map – Polygon – where they will have to choose to fight with or against each other, while simultaneously having to deal with dangerous sea monsters controlled by artificial intelligence. You can only go into battle alone, but during the battle itself you can team up into a division of up to three ships.

The main task is to leave the Polygon through the portal. To do this, you need to find one of the specially marked monsters, destroy it, and retrieve the key. Only one player can use a key, and not a whole division.
