The new update will go live some time after it's been downloaded because the client and server sides are updated separately. While the client begins to update immediately, it takes time for the servers to be updated across all regions.
If there are problems with downloading or launching the update—please perform files integrity check.
Subtitles can be enabled in the video player separately.
Because of the updates being made to upgrades, the dismounting of them will be free of charge for a period of 1 week from the release of Update 0.9.1.

British Cruisers: Part 2
A new line of British heavy cruisers has become available for all players to research.
Unique Features of the Ship Branch
Their powerful artillery can cause significant damage per salvo, but the guns have a relatively short firing range and arcing shell trajectory.
In contrast to light British cruisers, these ships have high-explosive shells in their arsenal that can cause heavy damage and have good chances of setting targets on fire.
Their ability to fire torpedoes one-by-one opens additional tactical options.
Strong armor protection for the central parts of the decks of ships of Tier VI and above, increases their survivability compared to other cruisers, with Steam post imageSteam post image X Goliath's deck armor reaching a thickness of 40 mm.
Efficient Repair Party consumable.
Decent survivability, thanks to their durable armor and effective Repair Party. Their powerful guns with relatively short firing ranges predispose British heavy cruisers to medium-range artillery encounters.
You'll be able to learn more details about the British heavy cruisers later in a dedicated article on our website.
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 0.9.1, right after the necessary technical work has finished. Those that follow will be unlocked each week. The ultimate reward for completing all Directives is cruiser Steam post imageSteam post image VI London.
