IMPORTANT! Because the update is still being tested, the information in this article is tentative and reflects the state of game development at the time of its publication. Some changes and new features may be removed entirely or implemented differently by the time the update goes live.

Operations With Flagships

After a great year for Operations, get ready for a 2025 with even more exciting additions to the battle type!

Throughout Update 14.0, you can experience special versions of six Operations, now for high-tier ships. They feature new enemies known as "Flagships", with increased hit points and the ability to influence nearby allies. You'll find these formidable units difficult to take down unless you identify and focus on their specific vulnerabilities.

Three Flagships, each with distinct mechanics, will individually set sail on the virtual seas, one per week, during the first 3 weeks of the update. In the fourth week, things will really heat up when you face all three!

New Dutch Cruisers in the Tech Tree

Update 14.0 ushers a new branch of ships into Early Access! Welcome Dutch light cruisers Jaarsveld (Tier VIII), Menno van Coehoorn (Tier IX), and Utrecht (Tier X).

Features:

  • Numerous low-caliber main battery guns with good range and ballistics

  • Improved HE shell penetration and great AP shell damage
