Features of the Ship Branch

  • Semi-armor-piercing shells instead of HE shells. These shells deal significant damage to weakly and moderately protected targets and ship parts, but do not cause fires.

  • A large number of guns but with relatively short firing ranges and not the greatest accuracy.

  • Decent maneuverability and armor protection.

  • Tier VIII–X ships have the Exhaust Smoke Generator consumable, which allows them to hide from the enemy without having to reduce their speed. Shooting from within the smoke screen isn't recommended while retreating, because battleships still have high detectability when using their main battery guns in this situation.

Early Access

Combat mission group rewards: a new temporary resource—Italian Tokens, Roman permanent camouflage for Steam post image VI Andrea Doria, and special signals. Final reward for completing the last combat mission group: VII Francesco Caracciolo, a Commander with six skill points, and a Port slot. Italian Tokens can also be obtained by completing special chains of combat missions; from random bundles available for Doubloons, free random bundles, and bundles that are available in exchange for Recruitment Points in the Armory; and by completing combat missions that can be activated by watching official World of Warships streams.

Rewards for Italian Tokens: sequentially opened bundles with IV Dante Alighieri, V Conte di Cavour, VI Andrea Doria, VIII Vittorio Veneto; the Roman permanent camouflage for VII Francesco Caracciolo; Legion permanent camouflages for VIII Vittorio Veneto, IX Lepanto, and X Cristoforo Colombo; and other rewards. The number of Tokens that can be earned by completing combat mission groups will be enough to obtain Italian Tier IV–VI battleships and the Roman permanent camouflage for the Tier VII battleship.

Rewards from random bundles available for Do ubloons: IX Lepanto plus a Commander with 10 skill points and a Port slot, Italian Tokens, Regia Marina expendable camouflages, and other rewards.

Free Bundles

The Armory is offering free random bundles—Daily Gifts. Inside, you can find Italian Tokens, Warships Premium Account, Doubloons, and other rewards. The bundles are available until: Mon. 08 Mar. 07:00 CET (UTC+1)

  • You can obtain only one bundle per day. A total of 12 bundles will be available, so you can
