Starting from Tier VII, the ships will have access to powerful torpedoes that can travel fast and far, but inflict variable damage based on the distance they travel. In other words, they are most effective at close range and lose destructive power the longer they travel.

Early Access: How to Unlock

  • The Tier V and VII ships can be unlocked in the first and second progression lines of the French Destroyers Event Pass, respectively.

  • The Tier VI, VIII, IX, and X ships can be found in consecutive bundles from a dedicated section of the Armory.
