Arms Race in Random and Co-op Battles during the Public Test
Arms Race is a game mode that players are very familiar with. Previously, it appeared in the game as a standalone battle type or as a format in seasons of the old Ranked Battles. We've spent a lot of time improving and expanding this mode based on your feedback and various statistics that we've gathered. It last appeared on the Live Server in Update 0.10.10. During the Public Test of Update 0.11.4, Arms Race will be introduced into Random and Co-op Battles.
Arms Race will be available only in battles where the highest ship tier is IX or X, as well as in battles with superships. It will also be available only on these eight maps: Northern Waters, Sleeping Giant, Loop, Warrior’s Path, Mountain Range, Land of Fire, Islands of Ice, and Hotspot.

With the addition of Arms Race to Random and Co-op Battles, we're disabling Epicenter.
Take part in testing Arms Race in Random and Co-op Battles during the Public Test of Update 0.11.4, and let us know what you think! This will help us decide the fate of this mode on the Live Server, based on your feedback and statistics.

French Cruisers
Update 0.11.4 kicks off an event that puts new French cruisers Steam post image Steam post image VIII Cherbourg, Steam post image Steam post image IX Brest, and X Marseille right in spotlight! These ships will become available in Early Access on the Live Server only when the update is released. Meanwhile, we invite you to take part in the testing of the event.
[expand style="more"] [/expand] These new ships found their places next to the first branch of French cruisers. The main feature of the new ships is their large-caliber guns (in terms of their class) mounted on the bow. While they reload slowly, this is compensated for by the Main Battery Reload Booster consumable.
The new ships are capable of achieving high speeds with the help of the improved "French" Engine Boost consumable.
Their armor does a great job in protecting them against medium-caliber AP shells, but it's quite vulnerable against HE and SAP shells.
Medium and long ranges are optimal for engagements, but with the help of their 139 mm secondary battery guns with improved accuracy, the new ships can also show their worth in close-range encounters.
Port of Marseille has been updated.
