British Cruisers: Early Access
British heavy cruisers Steam post imageSteam post image V Hawkins, Steam post imageSteam post image VI Devonshire, Steam post imageSteam post image VII Surrey, and Steam post image VIII Albemarle are arriving in Early Access. To obtain them, exchange the new event resource—British Tokens—in the Armory for random bundles which can drop the new ships.
With the release of Update 0.9.1, Tier V–X British heavy cruisers will become available for all players to research in the Tech Tree.
What are the distinctive features of British heavy cruisers?
Their guns can cause significant damage per salvo, but have a relatively short firing range and arching shell trajectory.
Unlike British light cruisers, the nation’s heavy cruisers can use high-explosive shells.
Tube-by-tube torpedo launching capabilities.
Durable armor in the central part of their decks for Tier VI ships and higher give representatives of the new branch greater survivability in comparison to other cruisers.
Efficient Repair Party consumable: restores 50% of citadel damage, as opposed to the standard 10% for this ship type. Starting from Tier VIII, Repair Party restores 2% of the ship’s maximum HP per second instead of the standard 0.5%.
All researchable British heavy cruisers can choose between Hydroacoustic Search and Defensive AA Fire.
Cruisers IX Drake and X Goliath have even more powerful artillery: main guns with a caliber of 234 mm and high-explosive shells that can penetrate armor up to 58 mm thick. Additionally, their Repair Party consumables are capable of restoring 60% of non-citadel damage.
Directives
The new game event tasks you with completing 36 missions spread across four Directives. The first Directive will become available with the release of Update 0.9.0, while those that follow will be unlocked each week. Completing missions will bring you signals, expendable camouflages, and credits; completing Directives will reward you with British Tokens.
British Tokens
British Tokens can be obtained from Daily Shipments or earned by completing Directives and Daily Missions. In a new Armory section, you can exchange the Tokens for random bundles which can drop British heavy cruisers V Hawkins, VI Devonshire, VII Surrey, or VIII Albemarle. Each ship comes with the Victorian White permanent camouflage.
Random Bundles
The contents of the currently available bundle will be visible to you.
After each exchange, the contents of the next random bundle will be visible to you.
Bundles that don't contain ships may appear more than once.
Apart from the ships, random bundles can drop days of Warships Premium Account, Coal, camouflages, and special signals.
