See what new restrictions we’re applying to the ongoing 19^th Clan Battles Season.

Based on analysis of battles as well as player feedback from the current Clan Battles season, we decided to make some changes to the ship limitations in place.

The following changes will take effect on November 16:

• Restrictions on the number of ships:
  • Limited the number of Marseille, Petropavlovsk or Napoli. One team may not have more than one of these ships in total.
  • Limited the number of St. Vincent, Ohio or Kremlin. One team may not have more than one of these ships in total.

So, for example, a team may only take 1 Marseille OR 1 Petropavlovsk OR 1 Napoli. The same is true for the restriction on Battleships.

A second branch of European destroyers will be added to the game in one of the future Updates. We’re ready to share the first details.

The ships of this new branch will represent such countries as Turkey, Norway, Greece, Yugoslavia, and Poland. Please note that the branch is currently under development, so the ship models are still not finalized, and the gameplay concept of the branch may change during testing, which is planned to begin in the first half of 2023.

In the current concept, these newcomers are “gunboat” destroyers equipped with Smoke Generator and, starting at Tier VIII, with the Surveillance Radar consumable. Apart from that, all ships in the branch are equipped with Engine Boost. The main battery guns of the new European destroyers have good damage per salvo and, starting from Tier VII, flat shell ballistics, which allows for comfortable gunplay at long ranges.
