What's Already Been Done
Ships
American and German Submarines in the Tech Tree
After extensive testing, submarines arrived in Early Access in Update 0.11.9 and became available for everyone to research in Update 0.11.10. Three U.S. submarines— Steam post image Steam post image VI Cachalot, Steam post image Steam post image VIII Salmon, and Steam post image Steam post image X Balao —and three German submarines— Steam post image VI U-69, VIII U-190, and X U-2501 —were added to the game.
Japanese Light Cruisers
New ships: V Agano, VI Gokase, VII Omono, VIII Shimanto, IX Takahashi, and X Yodo.
These ships have a decent firing range. The high-tier cruisers are armed with numerous main battery guns with long reload times. They enjoy good concealment and are armed with long-range torpedoes that inflict heavy damage. Tier VII and higher cruisers have torpedoes with turning mechanics.
Superships
★ Patrie, ★ Edgar, ★ Clausewitz, and ★ Dalarna exited Early Access. ★ Sekiryu and ★ Admiral Ushakov arrived in Early Access; ★ Joshua Humphreys and ★ Kunming were released for closed testing.
Events
Halloween
Update 0.11.9 saw the return of themed Operations Saving Transylvania and Sunray in the Darkness. It also brought back Twilight Battle, where players had an opportunity to stand at the helms of Twilight Fleet ships and try out their consumables with unique characteristics.
Velos Adventure
This themed adventure on our website provided players with an opportunity to follow in the footsteps of IX Velos, the first Greek ship in the game. Players earned Greek Tokens by completing combat missions. They could spend those Tokens on sequential bundles that held the destroyer herself and her Greek Trireme permanent camouflage.
Battle Pass
The Battle Pass was introduced in Update 0.11.10. A new Battle Pass starts with the release of each update and offers updated rewards each time. The Battle Pass replaced daily, weekly, and monthly combat missions. The total value of the Free Battle Pass rewards is comparable to the value of the rewards that were obtainable from recurring combat missions prior to the release of Update 0.11.10. Even more useful in-game items can be obtained with the Premium Battle Pass.
Graphics Update
In Update 0.11.10, another massive graphics update was implemented into the game. High-detail textures were added to the Mountain Range, North, Strait, Estuary, and Northern Lights maps. We also added a surf effect and dynamic reflections to all surfaces, improved vegetation models, and the effect of water being displaced sideways by moving ships.
