WoWS New ships – Closed testing 0.11.6

German battleship Anhalt, Spanish destroyer Álvaro de Bazán, European superdestroyer Dalarna and Japanese submarine I-56 have been added to the game for testing.

German battleship Anhalt, Tier VIII

A battleship with an original layout, armed with fifteen 350mm main caliber guns in five three-gun turrets.

These relatively small caliber guns are compensated by their number, high salvo weight, and high armor penetration of high-explosive shells.

WoWS: Early access to British battleships, separation of economic bonuses from visual customizations, Brawls and other new features – Closed testing 0.11.6

Here’s a look at the major new features in the upcoming update.

British battleships

In update 0.11.6, early access to new British battleships of Tiers III-X will begin, as well as a new timed event – “Titans of Industry”.

Players will take part in competition between three British dockyards: Chatham, Elswick and Clydebank. Choose which shipyard you decide to lend your support to, but don’t forget – each one will provide you with a unique reward.

“Titans of Industry” is similar to New Year’s Eve, Aircraft Bureaus Rivalry, Battle of the Beasts and Clash of Courage events.

Participate in the event and earn British tokens that can be exchanged for ships in early access, permanent camouflages, and other goods.

The port of London has been updated to celebrate the event.

WoWS: Ship balance changes — 0.11.5 Closed Testing

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.

VIII Kansas:
