Submarines have made quite a journey, going through six open and a gazillion closed tests since they were first announced back in 2019. Adding a totally new type of ship to World of Warships requires extended testing by a wide and stable audience in Random Battles. Testing them on a standalone server or in a special game mode would simply not give us a broad enough picture.
However, we don’t want submarines to "surface" in the most populated type of battle just yet. It's essential that we ensure they are properly tested first. To perform the test, we've settled on Ranked Battles as the most suitable and closest equivalent of Random Battles. The new Ranked season kicks off a week after the update goes live, but submarines will be accessible immediately after the release of Update 0.10.7. Co-op Battles will give you an opportunity to try the subs out in a more relaxed environment and get prepared for the new Ranked season.

Starting Out in a Sub
When Update 0.10.7 goes live and until the end of Ranked Battles Season 4, the Armory will feature three types of random bundles available free of charge. Each of them will drop four sets with 100 Coal and one set with two submarines that will be rented out to you for three days. Offering submarines in this way will help us keep an eye on how many of them are out on our seas and prevent extended queue times.
The bundles will be updated each week. This means that you can open them again each week to get Coal and the rental submarines.
Helm submarines in Co-op Battles and mow down bots—these battles offer a great opportunity to try out the mechanics that make the new ship type stand out. When the waters start raging with the heat of Ranked Battles, you'll already be familiar enough with submarines to test your strategies against real players. The season commences 1 week after Update 0.10.7 hits the live servers.

Ranked Battles Season
Forthcoming changes:
Ranked Battles statistics will be displayed in the profile summary. Distribution by league starts from the Fourth Season. Statistics for previous seasons, broken down by leagues, will not be available.
After qualifying, you can continue to play in the next league without having to wait for the start of a new Sprint. If you make it to Rank 1 in the Bronze League and successfully qualify, you can continue playing in the Silver League within the same Sprint.
Rewards
The rewards for each league will be refreshed and available again at the start of each new Sprint. Reaching Rank 1 will reward you with Bronze, Silver, and Gold League containers. A commemorative flag is awarded for achieving Rank 1 in the Bronze League.
