Submarines in Ranked Battles

Steam post image

Ranked Battles Season 4 kicks off 1 week after the update hits the Live Servers.

In addition to the traditional four ship types, a new type—submarines—is joining the fight for Ranked glory in the new season.

Submarines have made quite a journey, having gone 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 to allow submarines to "surface" in the main type of battle directly—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 starts 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.

Season features

  • A maximum of two submarines is allowed per team.

  • To prevent long queues from forming in the matchmaker, submarines will be rented out free of charge through random bundles from the Armory.

  • Commanders will receive a fifth skill tree for submarines, and some of the skills of other ship types will receive additional effects that are designed to counter submarines.

You'll also find a revamped interface in the Port, and there are updated rules for the season:

  • Ranked Battles statistics will be displayed in the profile summary. Distribution by league starts from Season 4. Statistics for previous seasons, broken down by leagues, will not be
