IMPORTANT! Because the update is still being tested, the information in this bulletin 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.

Update 0.11.1 kicks off a new temporary battle type codenamed "Dirigible Derby."

Historically, these airships carried intelligence agents with important messages and diplomats traveling to conduct secret negotiations in neutral territories. The new battle type tasks you with a mission to delay the hostile airship while also making sure that your allied airship is the first to reach the destination point.

Battles will be held in a 12 vs. 12 format playing Tier X ships.

Each team will have an invulnerable airship that moves along a fixed route. Your team's mission is to outrun the opposing team in escorting their airship to the end of the route or destroy all enemy ships.

The teams can affect the speed of both allied and hostile airships. Each airship has an interactive zone with a 3 km radius displayed around it. The airship will move faster if only allied ships are within that zone and will slow down if at least one enemy ship sneaks inside it.

[expand style=more] [/expand]

Update 0.11.1 sees the launch of two new superships in the game:

• British aircraft carrier Eagle was initially laid down as one of the Audacious-class warships. The carrier was completed to a substantially altered project, and she was later given an extensive modernization that allowed her to carry and operate the most advanced deck-based aircraft of the 1950s, including jet aircraft.

• American aircraft carrier United States was intended to be the lead ship of a new design of super carriers that was laid down in 1949 but was never completed. Our developers have recreated her in the game as a fleet strike carrier with necessary alterations to the ship's layout design and equipment.

The ships carry two types of squadrons: standard and tactical. While standard squadrons are a carrier's striking power that players are already familiar with, tactical squadrons constitute a new weapon.

Tactical squadrons on board the new carriers are composed of very fast jet-propelled aircraft. This feature allows them to quickly cover substantial distances and carry out lightning-fast attacks against enemy ships. The jet aircraft of Eagle and United States cannot slow down below their cruising speed, and their engine boost won't cool down when the aircraft are airborne.



We would like to note that the tactical squadrons carried by Eagle and United States are best used as auxiliary weapons, which is why they consist of one attacking flight only. This means their efficiency will be substantially impaired with each aircraft they lose, and for this reason, they can't expose themselves to enemy AA fire for long.

---

Update 0.11.1 brings back Personal Challenges. Your goal during the event is to earn as much Base XP as possible while demonstrating your skills in battle playing ships of different types and nations. More details will follow in a dedicated article.

We have updated rewards, and the table of records will be reset 2 weeks after the update goes live. This way, rewards will again be available to players who have already reached the limit.

Rewards: A new temporary resource called Mediterranean Tokens, plus Coal. Navigate to a special tab in the Armory to exchange your Mediterranean Tokens for bundles with VI Dido and VI Canarias in their Atlantic camouflage, as well as other rewards.

---

The economic reward for destroying aircraft will now be distributed in the same way as the reward for damaging and destroying ships. Part of Credits and XP will be issued not only for shooting aircraft down but also for dealing damage to them.

On average, the amount of resources earned won't change, but the reward will be easier to obtain.

The costs of resupplying carrier ammunition and the Airstrike armament will now be calculated by reference to the amount of ammunition used rather than the number of aircraft lost.

Credits will also be spent on resupplying depth charges used by destroyers and cruisers.

With these steps, we're bringing the costs of resupplying aircraft carriers' ammunition, the Airstrike armament, and depth charges in line with the other types of ammunition.

We've reworked the way XP is earned by Tier VIII and X carriers. They will now earn more for sinking enemies and less for damaging them.

Previously, good battle performance playing Tier VIII and X carriers yielded a smaller reward compared with the other ship types. Even sinking numerous enemy ships hardly ever placed carriers among the top XP earners on the team. Now, effective performance in battle will result in a bigger reward.

---

We've entirely reworked the AI system behind in-game bots. The new system makes setting up bots for various battle types and in-game scenarios simpler and faster.

We've simplified the behavior algorithm of bots for all difficulty levels in the Training Rooms. We don't expect any considerable changes to bot behavior in Operations, Co-op Battles, and various temporary battle types. However, since the sheer scale of this update of the entire AI system is so massive, it's difficult to provide an assessment of the effect of these changes at this point. We'll be keeping a close eye on bot behavior and make further tweaks if necessary.

With the release of Update 0.11.1, X Grosser Kurfürst and X Khabarovsk will be replaced in their Tech Tree branches by X Preussen and X Delny, respectively.

More details about the Tech Tree changes are available in a special article.

• We've updated the way in which the conditions of missions and rewards, as well as other UI elements, are displayed in the Combat Missions tab.
  
• The behavior of the ships carousel has been fixed and updated for cases where various actions are made in the Port.

The ships come with all of their modules researched.

The last 2 weeks of the update will see the return of Asymmetric Battles—a temporary battle type with a different distribution of ships and tiers between teams.

Starts: Thu. 03 Feb. 06:00 CET (UTC+1)
Ends: Thu. 17 Feb. 06:00 CET (UTC+1)

• Tiers: IX and X
  
• Number of ships: 6–8

• Tiers: VII and VIII
  
• Number of ships: 9–12

Asymmetric Battles are available only during a certain Prime Time period each day. This allows us to improve the balance of teams and reduce the number of bots in battle, as well as reduce their influence on the outcome of the battle. If there aren't enough players in the matchmaking queue, bots may be added to teams. Details will be available in the game client and in a dedicated article on our website.

Battle Tokens are a temporary resource that is required to enter battle playing Tier IX–X ships. You can earn these Tokens by participating in Asymmetric Battles playing Tier VII–VIII ships. When you first log in during Update 0.11.0, you will be credited enough Tokens to enter one battle playing a Tier IX–X ship.

You can earn Community Tokens by completing special daily and weekly combat missions during the event.

Superships and their mechanics have been of great interest to players so far, and these ships may one day become a full-fledged part of World of Warships. In the future, we want to continue the existing branches by adding superships. We consider this to be a logical step, and we are confident that superships do not fit into Tier X because of their superiority over their "predecessors" in terms of their performance characteristics.

This is a big and important decision for World of Warships. For this reason, we've planned thorough testing of the superships based on our previous experience.

We're carefully monitoring both the data we receive and your feedback. The current Ranked season has shown that superships fit into the current game concept and have been warmly received by players.

Therefore, starting from Update 0.11.0, the testing of superships will continue not only in Ranked and Co-op Battles but also in Random Battles.

Random Battles have a different format compared to Ranked Battles—12 vs. 12. It's important to test superships in these conditions because they significantly change the battle tempo and density, which means that the effectiveness of superships may change. The high popularity of Random Battles will allow us to collect the necessary statistics and get feedback for the further development of superships.

Only Tier IX and X ships will be able to participate in battles with superships, and the standard restrictions on the number of ships of certain types and tiers apply in battle.

[expand style=more] [/expand]

In Update 0.11.0, rental superships will be available from random bundles in the Armory. Each random bundle provides 6-day rental superships or 100 Coal.

We have added an alternative torpedo module. You can now choose one of two sets of torpedoes under the Equipment tab:

• Type F3 (range 8 km) and Type 93 (range 20 km).
  
• Type 93 mod. 3 (range 12 km) and Type 93 (range 20 km).

Detailed characteristics of torpedoes are available in the game client.

Division Stars, which are available during the update, are special bonuses issued for playing together with each Clanmate.

• You can get a Division Star by playing in a Division with your Clanmates.
  
• The Stars can be earned in all battle types, except for Training Battles.
  
• Certain numbers of earned Stars unlock access to various rewards.
  
• If you switch Clans, any Stars and rewards you previously received remain with you.

To see the roster of Clanmates who you can team up with in a Division, as well as the list of rewards you can get, navigate to the Division Star tab in the Clans section.

By playing together with each of your Clanmates, you can get a total of up to 3 Stars—one for each fulfilled condition:

• Victory in battle.
  
• Earning the General Offensive achievement.
  
• Earning the Brothers-in-Arms achievement.

Following the Public Test of Update 0.11.0, we realized that the changes we had planned do not lead to the desired results. Submarines continue to underperform compared to other ship types. Therefore, we decided to temporarily stop testing submarines on the Live Server so we can prepare additional changes.

From Update 0.11.0 until Update 0.11.2, submarines will not be available on the Live Server. We plan to resume testing submarines in Update 0.11.2, and additional mechanics improvements will be made ahead of that.

You can read more about the submarine test results on our Development Blog.

For convenience in interacting with aircraft and maintaining the progression through ship tiers, we have standardized the characteristics of all carrier-based and patrol fighters, including those carried by Premium and special ships.
The changes will not affect the amount of HP of VI Béarn fighters because powerful fighters with a small field of view are one of the features of this ship.

We have slightly reworked the aircraft camera performance during the preparation for an attack and during an attack of attack aircraft and torpedo bombers of the researchable Soviet aircraft carriers, as well as the VIII Chkalov torpedo bombers. These changes will improve the aiming experience without affecting gameplay.

X Incomparable—a project of a very large and high-speed battlecruiser developed in 1915—will become available in the Armory when the update goes live.

She is armed with six powerful 508 mm main battery guns with a high rate of fire for a battleship, as well as two quadruple-tube torpedo launchers with a good torpedo range and tube-by-tube launching capabilities. The ship is capable of achieving high speeds and has decent AA defenses.

The battleship has a wide range of consumables at her disposal: Specialized Repair Teams; Short-Range Hydroacoustic Search; and Engine Boost, which is rarely found on ships of this type. She can also choose between the Fighter and Spotting Aircraft consumables. You can get her in exchange for 31,000 Steel.

The new Griffin permanent camouflage for X Plymouth has been added and made available in exchange for 3 Clan Tokens.

The display of the number of upgrades, camouflages, and signals already available on player accounts has been added to the Armory.

• Battle of Jutland containers were renamed Battle of Jutland Premium containers.
  
• A new Battle of Jutland container was added that drops one item from the following list:
  
  • A ship (battleship III König Albert or V Agincourt) with a Port slot and Commander with 10 skill points, or a permanent camouflage ("To Honor Skagerrak" for König Albert or Jutland Veteran for Agincourt) — 1%
    
  • 1x Battle of Jutland camouflage — 39%
    
  • 4x signals of the same type (Zulu, Equal Speed Charlie London, Papa Papa, or Zulu Hotel) — 40%
    
  • 1,500 Free XP — 10%
    
  • 100,000 Credits — 10%

V Agincourt will also be available in the Armory in exchange for Doubloons.
The chances of obtaining a particular reward from a group are the same for all items in the group. If a container drops an item from the Ships and Permanent Camouflages group, you will receive an item that you do not already have. The drop chances of a specific group don't change, regardless of how many items you already have from that group.

If you already have all the ships or permanent camouflages from the list and a Battle of Jutland container drops an item from the Ships and Permanent Camouflages group, you will receive the Battle of Jutland camouflage.

Battle of Jutland containers have the guaranteed drop mechanic applied: If an item from the Ships and Permanent Camouflages group does not drop after you open 249 Battle of Jutland containers, you are guaranteed to find an item from this group in the 250th container of this type.

Detailed information about the container mechanics and how to obtain them will be published later.

Starting with Update 0.11.0, for all standard Premium Ship containers, players will receive compensation in Credits if they already have all the ships that this container type can drop. The special version of the Premium Ship container will still compensate players in Doubloons.

An alternative color scheme was added for special permanent camouflages for VIII Tirpitz and VII Scharnhorst.

Several months ago, we announced changes to the German and Soviet Tech Trees. With the release of Update 0.11.1, X Grosser Kurfürst and X Khabarovsk will be replaced with X Preussen and X Delny, respectively.

After this, X Grosser Kurfürst and X Khabarovsk will be added to the Armory and become available for Coal. Detailed information about the replacement of these ships is available in a dedicated article on our website.

• If a player has X Grosser Kurfürst and X Khabarovsk in their Port when the replacement happens, they will receive compensation in the form of a sum of Credits equal to half of these ships' cost. At the same time, Grosser Kurfürst and Khabarovsk will remain on the accounts of their owners.
  
• Compensation for X Grosser Kurfürst is 10,300,000 Credits.
  
• If the 420 mm main battery guns were researched, the player will also receive compensation of 35,000 XP for this ship.
  
• If the 420 mm main battery guns were purchased, the player will also receive compensation of 2,500,000 Credits.
  
• Compensation for X Khabarovsk is 9,400,000 Credits.
