What could be better than a country road? Tier VI American battleship West Virginia arrives in the Premium Shop on November 30! It was the fourth Colorado-class ship made and one of the last US super-dreadnoughts to be built before the Washington Naval Treaty in 1922.
https://youtu.be/X55n6FaqCEw
Some special items with the ship, including American commander Dusty Rodes, a unique "country" camouflage, horn, memorable flag, and a patch will help you immerse yourself in the true American atmosphere. May the country roads take you home!

Bundles are available for purchase until Fri. 14 Dec

Please note: until January 31, owners of this bundle will have access to a special Combat Mission for quicker upgrading. The first 25 battles played with the ship in any battle type will bring you three times more XP than usual. You can receive this Combat Mission only once per account.

You can read more about this ship in the article of the World of Warships Museum series .


VI W. Virginia 1941 is a Colorado-class USN battleship. She’s equipped with reliable armor and hard-hitting 406 mm guns. Large-caliber weaponry is the ship's main advantage, being larger than that of most same-type ships at this tier. The battleship is in her element in mid-range battles against other battleships and cruisers. However, she is very vulnerable to aviation attacks due to her low speed and mediocre air defense.

Key features:

• Eight 406 mm guns. Normal average firing range: 16 km. Reload time is standard for American battleships: 30 sec.
  
• Not the greatest HP pool–50,200–but quite a well-protected citadel.
  
• Extra credits per battle and 50% more XP provided by the permanent camouflage.

We don't doubt that every commander has a sense of beauty. If one can stop for a second and catch that special moment, a spectator before the monitor can almost feel the powerful waves against their skin, and the deafening heat and sound of the battle itself. You just need to choose the right angle, and that’s it.

We have received a lot of outstanding screenshots, and our team has chosen the three finalists. It was indeed difficult to judge the contest, but we tried to be as fair as possible!

DLCs of choice go to:

• 𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐫
  
• Gucci Minh
  
• Fly

Just look at this gorgeous beauty!

With the release of Update 0.7.11 you'll be able to dive into battles of a totally new type. To have a go at it, you'll need Level 12 in your Service Record. Twilight Battles will rage on right until Update 0.7.12 goes live.

Two teams of seven players on each side will be helming special ships into a naval battle on the map from Operation Sunray in the Darkness. Your primary objective is to destroy all hostile ships while keeping a close eye on the area that is safe for your ship. That area will be gradually contracting, getting smaller and smaller. It's the Filth that will be spreading over the water surface. Reckless ships that get into it will have their HP points drain fast and viewing range significantly reduced.

You can take part in the battle on board one of the eight ships of the Forces of Darkness that featured in the Halloween operations. Each ship will come with a Commander with 19 skill points. Commanders can be moved between the Halloween ships without penalties. Some of the ships will be ideal for exchanging fire at longer distances. They will be most efficient during the initial stages of a battle. Other ships are stronger in close range duels. They will come into spotlight in the second half of the battle, when the enemy has nowhere to run. When the event kicks off, you get only three of the ships but fear not! Demonstrate your skills and valor in battles—and the remaining ships will be at your service, too!
Each ship of the Twilight Fleet comes with unique, non-conventional consumables. In combat, it is vital to interact not only with opponents, but with your allies as well. You need to be constantly aware of their strengths and weaknesses. This will give you an advantage that may eventually bring your team to victory. It will not be easy to bear in mind so many details at first, which is why the ships of the Twilight Fleet will arrive in your Ports in two phases. Economic rewards are equivalent to Tier VII battles.
With the release of Update 0.7.12, the ships and Commanders that can take part in the Twilight Battle will be removed from your accounts. So, if you like their looks, you can get similar special permanent camouflages from Halloween 2018 containers. These containers can be obtained for your actions in the game or purchased at the Premium Shop.

In Twilight Battles, the ability to cause damage to allies and the risk of magazine detonation have been disabled.

The upcoming version of the game includes the three final Stages of the Royal Navy event. The rules remain the same, with each Stage lasting for a week. The Stages consist of four Directives in which you need to complete a specified number of missions. Having completed a Stage, Directive, or mission, you will receive appropriate rewards that include game items, Guineas, and new Royal Navy containers with elements from the collection that we'll tell you a bit about later.

You can climb to the next Directive only upon the completion of a certain number of missions from the previous one, and not prior to its scheduled opening. You can complete the missions simultaneously and in any number of battles, unless otherwise indicated. So, don't worry if you are unable to get something done on the first attempt! All Directives will remain available to you until the respective Stage is over.

Once you’re through with all of the Directives, you'll be able to cross swords with other players in the Hall of Fame, to fight for the right to be heralded the "Best of the Best"!

Royal Navy missions can be completed in any battle starting before the summing-up of the final scores in the Hall of Fame begins. Final scores are summed up once a week.

Each completed Directive brings you one Guinea, the currency required to get Premium Tier VIII destroyer Cossack. You can grab any missing number of Guineas that you might need in the Premium Shop.

The rewards granted for entering the Hall of Fame remain the same.
Learn more about the Royal Navy event and the Hall of Fame.

For the grand finale of the British Arc, players will be offered the chance to complete the Royal Navy Destroyers collection, which tells the story of the British Navy throughout the 20th century. Elements of the collection include the badges of British destroyers, episodes of battles and operations, and camouflage schemes. The collection consists of 16 elements divided into 4 thematic sections.

The elements of the collection can be obtained in two ways:

• From British containers issued for the completion of missions during the Royal Navy event.
  
• From daily containers, provided that you enable the relevant subscription in the collection tab after receiving your first element.

Once you are through with each of the collection’s sections, you will be given a chance to mount a second flag on British destroyers, cruisers, battleships, and ships of the Commonwealth.

The ultimate reward for completing the entire collection is a permanent camouflage scheme for VII Haida and VIII Lightning, as well as a special achievement.

Camouflage features:

• –10% to the cost of the ship's post-battle service
  
• +50% XP earned per battle
  
• –3% to detectability range by sea
  
• +4% to dispersion of shells fired by enemies attacking your ship

Take a closer look at the Royal Navy Destroyers collection.

Commanders, we invite you to take part in naval clashes in a new battle type, based on a reworked version of the "Battle Royale" format.

Battles will be held in a 7x7 format on the map from Operation "Sunray in the Darkness". Twilight Battles will be available for players who have reached Level 12 or higher in their Service Record. The primary objective is to destroy all enemy ships. But stay alert! The Filth will be seizing more and more of the sea’s surface, narrowing the safe zone for your ships. Beyond the safe zone, ships rapidly lose their HP!

You can take part in the battle with one of the eight ships of the Forces of Darkness that you are probably familiar with from the Halloween-themed Operations. Battle it out with Razorworm, Ghoul, Octopus, Leviathan, Scarab, Steel Rat, Varg, and the ferocious and mighty battleship Rasputin!
Initially, only three of these ships will be available: Ghoul, Octopus, and Leviathan. From November 26, the remaining steel monsters will manifest in your Ports at twilight, once you've secured a number of victorious Twilight Battles. Expect a Combat Mission to get Rasputin to be available right from the start!

By the way, your first win with Rasputin will bring you a special achievement!

As a pleasant bonus, each ship comes with their own unique consumables. For example, restore your HP by damaging opponents, or avoid dangerous encounters by reducing your detectability. Come to the aid of your allies by providing them with an extra charge of consumables, or turn your ship 180 degrees in a single moment! And these possibilities form just part of the opportunities in combat that are set to open up for you in Twilight Battles!
For more details on the new battle type, read a dedicated article set for release tomorrow. The article also contains the conclusion of the story that puts an end to the chronicles of the Silver Spear Archipelago.

Season 4 of Clan Battles is about to kick off! Secure your victory by clashing at sea—and get Steel for the Arsenal in return!

From November 28 until December 4, all players who join at least one Clan Battle will be able to redistribute the skill points of their Commanders for free.

Learn more about Season "North".

With the new Update, we are set to remove all items from the Royal Navy category in the Arsenal, except for British DD VIII Cossack. Sovereigns will be exchanged for credits at a rate of 1:25,000.

Guineas will be available in the game client until Update 0.7.12 reaches its conclusion, after which they will be exchanged for credits at the rate of 1 Guinea = 100,000 credits.

In Update 0.7.11, the Arsenal is set to offer players a new ship, French BB X Bourgogne. Grab it for 30,000 Steel!

The French steel monster carries three 380 mm quadruple turrets. Despite her relatively small caliber, Bourgogne takes her toll with her efficient main gun reload time in combination with the Main Battery Reload Booster consumable she carries on board. In terms of her standard rate of fire, at present Bourgogne comes second only to her fellow ship République. However, compared against her peers, Bourgogne carries a relatively moderate HP pool, and weaker armor protection. The battleship's secondary battery has a standard reach of 7.5 km which will certainly help you in close-range combat. The AA mounts onboard are efficient enough to make any hostile aircraft carrier think twice before targeting the French ship. Apart from these features, Bourgogne is equipped with the Engine Boost consumable typical of French battleships, allowing her to make over 37 knots!

Get this warship at the Arsenal along with a Commander with three skill points, a Port slot, and a special permanent camouflage that provides the following bonuses:

• –3% to your ship's detectability range by sea
  
• +4% to dispersion of shells fired by enemies attacking your ship
  
• –50% to the cost of your ship's post-battle service
  
• +20% credits earned per battle
  
• +100% XP per battle

In Operation Hermes, we tested the Thunderstorm Front, a new mechanic that affects events happening within a particular region of the map. The mechanics received a warm welcome from players, so we decided to test it further in Random Battles.
The Thunderstorm Front will appear only in Tier X battles on the following three maps:

• "North" (Domination mode)
  
• "Hotspot" (Domination mode)
  
• "Islands of Ice" (Epicenter)

However, the Cyclone effect will no longer be present on these maps.

Battles featuring the Thunderstorm Front will only be available for ships of Tier VIII, IX and X.

The visual appearance of the Thunderstorm Front varies depending on the terrain and weather—but we can tell you that you’re in for rain and blizzards!

On the Minimap, the Thunderstorm area is depicted as a gray circle. A special indicator notifies you upon approaching and entering an area affected by the Thunderstorm Front. The changing weather conditions will make it harder to detect ships both by air and by sea: with the detectability range of destroyers and the other types of ships reduced by 10% and 20%, respectively. The visibility range is reduced to 30 km; the period of increased detectability of a ship after firing the main guns is also reduced, returning to normal in 7 seconds instead of 20 seconds; and the maximum dispersion of shells in the area affected by the foul weather increases by a multiple of 1.3. The Thunderstorm Front does not have any effect on the operation of a ship's consumables.

If there is an area of foul weather between ships, their detectability is calculated taking into account the visibility modifier. However, this does not affect potential third observers whose line of sight doesn't cross (or run through) the Thunderstorm Front zone.

In Epicenter mode, bad weather can move along the map left to right, or vice versa, or can even stay motionless in the center of the map.

In response to numerous requests from our players, we are improving the matchmaker and enhancing the algorithms responsible for creating teams. This change will be more relevant to Tier VIII–X ships. Tier X battles will have fewer Tier VIII and IX ships as these will more often be matched to Tier VIII and IX battles.

In Update 0.7.11 we are changing the damage mechanics of AP shells, to prevent rare cases where large-caliber shells inflicted excessive damage to destroyers. This occurred when a shell hit destroyer's armor at a sharp angle. The thickness of the effective armor allowed the shell to arm and cause considerable damage inside the ship's hull.

The standard damage that destroyers normally receive from a heavy shell hitting their hull should be equal to the damage caused by an over-penetrating shell. However, in the situation mentioned above, the received damage value exceeded that of an over-penetration, amounting to approximately 1/3 of a shell's maximum damage. Thus, a tiny destroyer with a pool of HP that could hardly be called impressively large, had the potential to lose most of her health points as a result of a single hit.

In Update 0.7.11, we introduce a limit on the maximum damage that an AP shell can cause to all destroyers, with the exception of Khabarovsk and Harugumo. Damage to a ship's HP caused by an AP shell with a caliber of 280 mm and larger, will no longer exceed 10% of the maximum possible damage that such shell may cause. Although 10% might seem to be rather a small value, a hit of this type will still inflict significant damage to destroyers.

This change won’t affect destroyers Harugumo and Khabarovsk, because the damage they currently take is already within expected limits. Any further reduction would make these two ships too powerful.

This adjustment will certainly change the course of encounters between destroyers and larger ships carrying main battery guns with a caliber of 280 mm and above. Now, their Captains will have to be more cautious when selecting which shell type to use, being sure to take into account the circumstances of a given situation in battle. A close-range salvo with AP shells will still cause considerable damage to a destroyer, making her think twice before mounting a close quarters torpedo attack upon an enemy ship.

We have also changed the mechanics of the torpedo damage dealt to a completely destroyed part of a ship. Now, a torpedo hitting a ship in any such part will cause guaranteed damage of 10% of the maximum damage it could potentially cause. This will prevent situations in which a destroyer could suffer multiple torpedo hits, but stay afloat simply because the affected part of her hull had no HP left to lose.

The specified changes may, of course, affect the combat performance of ships. But rest assured, we will carefully monitor player statistics and take all required measures should the combat performance of any ships drop below established limits.

Please see full list of ship changes on the website.

Emblems show both your skill and combat experience. Previously, World of Warships featured emblems attributable only to ship types and nations.

Update 0.7.11 brings the new emblems: "Ranked Battles Expert" and "Clan Battles Expert".

Both emblems represent your skills and gaming experience earned in the two competitive modes: Ranked and Clan Battles.

Ranked Battles Expert I–IV
Earning conditions:

• Ranked Battles Expert I: Earn 30 unique stars in Ranked Battles
  
• Ranked Battles Expert II: Earn 70 unique stars in Ranked Battles
  
• Ranked Battles Expert III: Earn 140 unique stars in Ranked Battles
  
• Ranked Battles Expert IV: Earn 210 unique stars in Ranked Battles.

A unique star is a star you get for the first time in a victorious Ranked Battle. Subsequent receipt of the same stars is not taken into account. Any stars you receive in Ranked Battle Sprints are not taken into account.

Clan Battles Expert I–IV
Earning conditions:

• Clan Battles Expert I: Win 90 battles in the Gale League or any of the higher leagues
  
• Clan Battles Expert II: Win 90 battles in the Storm League or any of the higher leagues
  
• Clan Battles Expert III: Win 90 battles in the Typhoon League or any of the higher leagues
  
• Clan Battles Expert IV: Win 90 battles in the Hurricane League.

Any previous achievements will not be counted. Once Update 0.7.11 goes live, all players will have an equal chance in the "race" for the new emblems.

For more details about the insignia, read a dedicated article.

In Update 0.7.11, we'll enhance the visuals of the Port of Zipangu. The town at the bottom of Fuji is covered with snow, and night has descended in the wait for the New Year’s. Light snowflakes are falling on trees and nearshore ice-floats.

We also added decorations and new sound effects.

All players who enter the game during the period from November 23 to December 6 will find that they have access to shipments codenamed "Black Friday"! You can receive the following rewards simply for logging into the game on a regular basis:

• 3x "Shadow Lurker" camo
  
• 50,000 credits
  
• 50,000 credits
  
• 500 Coal
  
• 1x standard Black Friday container
  
• 50,000 credits
  
• 5x "Shadow Lurker" camo
  
• 500 Coal
  
• 50 doubloons
  
• 2x standard Black Friday containers

You can get a total of 10 rewards, with shipments delivered to your Ports for a period 14 days. Thus, you can skip 4 days out of two weeks, but still be able to get all of the rewards! Daily Shipments for Black Friday will be available to players who have reached Level 9 in their Service Record.

Starting from update 0.8.0, Tier IX ships Musashi and Kronshtadt will no longer be available to purchase with Free XP and also cannot be obtained for Coal in the game client.

These ships are becoming extremely popular for their tier, and to avoid Tier IX battles becoming packed with them, as well as to maintain diversity, we decided to remove the possibility of purchasing or obtaining these ships for an indefinite period. As such, they have already been replaced with French Tier IX battleship Jean Bart, with plans in progress to introduce another ship of the same tier in future.

We understand that accumulating resources for these ships is a long process, which is why we wanted to warn you in advance so that those of you who are interested can steer these ships into your Ports before Update 0.8.0 goes live. You have approximately two months remaining to get Musashi and Kronshtadt.

The following ships were added for testing by developers, supertesters, and community contributors:

• Soviet Tier VII cruiser Lazo
  
• Pan-Asian Tier VIII cruiser Irian

In the game client, the following ships are now available for purchase in exchange for doubloons: Admiral Graf Spee, Z-39, Hood, Texas, Sims, Indianapolis, Ishizuchi, Mutsu, Atago, Okhotnik, Dunkerque, Duca degli Abruzzi, and Anshan.

The following ships will no longer be available for doubloons in the game client: Prinz Eugen, Duke of York, Arizona, Katori, Kii, and Aigle.

We added the Mod Maker, Alpha and Beta Tester, W. Virginia 1941, and Czechoslovakian Legion patches, as well as the Supertester and Mod Maker emblems.

Added a Collectors Club emblem with 4 grades as well as a patch and a background.

Added a flag, patch, camouflage, and containers for WG Fest participants.

Black Friday containers are coming to the game! They can bring you one of the following items:

• Tirpitz B
  
• Atago B
  
• Asashio B
  
• Massachusetts B
  
• 2x "Type 59" camo
  
• 250 doubloons
  
• 1 day of Premium Account time
  
• 5,000 Free XP
  
• 4x "Shadow Lurker" camo

The Premium Shop will offer Black Friday Premium Containers with the following loot options:

• Tirpitz B
  
• Atago B
  
• Asashio B
  
• Massachusetts B
  
• 10x "Type 59" camo
  
• 1,250 doubloons
  
• 14 days of Premium Account time
  
• 35,000 Free XP
  
• 20x "Shadow Lurker" camo

The following four ships were added: Tirpitz B, Atago B, Asashio B, and Massachusetts B. The ships can be distinguished by the color schemes of their permanent camo, and are completely identical to the "original" ships in terms of combat characteristics;

• Added an option to switch language in the game client to Dutch.
  
• Since the event dedicated to Alexander Ovechkin is now over, the "Four-Goal Haul" achievement is no longer available.
  
• The following warships may now appear in Supercontainers: Kronshtadt, Missouri and Musashi.

With the release of Update 0.7.11, you will be able to record replays of your battles in World of Warships. Every player will have their 30 most recent battles recorded and stored in the /replays folder. Any previous, "older" replays will be overwritten. This feature will allow players to provide more details of any occurring issue when contacting Player Support. You can adjust the number of recorded replays using the maxReplaysToSave setting in the configuration file.

In Update 0.7.10 we introduced a system that generates a special report every time a critical error occurs. All such reports are stored in the /reports folder. With the launch of Update 0.7.11, such reports will be sent directly to the World of Warships Dev Team, so that we can have access to all information relating to any incidents that occur.

Technical data is collected in accordance with Clause 4 of the Privacy Policy in effect at Wargaming, solely with the purpose of analyzing a particular incident; no personal data of any player will be used for any purpose whatsoever.
