Our journey starts in Belgium. Don't forget to unlock the special combat mission chain. Upon completing it, you'll receive the Naval Ensign of Belgium commemorative flag.


Before the outbreak of World War II, neutral Belgium didn't have a navy. In 1936, however, a special flag was introduced for all state-owned ships—a black-crowned lion in the center of the Belgian tricolor. A few mobilized ships of the hastily created Belgian Naval Corps served under that flag during the short military campaign of 1940.

Earn Free XP, "Destroyed" ribbons, and Credits to obtain Shadow Lurker, Yellow, and Deep Red camouflages, as well as expendable economic bonuses.

Update 0.11.7 kicks off the construction of X Puerto Rico at the Dockyard. The ship is armed with twelve 305 mm guns placed in four main battery turrets. The cruiser's AP shells have good damage-dealing capabilities and enhanced ricochet angles. The ship also has a large HP pool and good armor protection.

The construction process at the Dockyard comprises 40 phases. These shipbuilding phases can be completed by progressing through Dockyard combat missions or by spending 1,750 Doubloons to pass through each phase. The combat missions span Update 0.11.7, 0.11.8, and the first three weeks of 0.11.9. The Dockyard itself will remain in your Ports until the start of Update 0.11.10.

In total, you can progress through 34 out of 40 shipbuilding phases by completing Dockyard combat missions. Completing the 25th phase will reward you with VII Huron with a 6-skill-point Commander and a Port slot. The final reward is X Puerto Rico with the Ceremonial permanent camouflage, a Port slot, a Commander with 10 skill points, and a commemorative flag.

If you already have X Puerto Rico and upon construction completion, you'll obtain a Puerto Rico Certificate, which can be exchanged in a special section of the Armory for one of the following rewards: 35,000 Doubloons, 33,000 Steel, or 63,000 Research Points. Thus, you'll be able to purchase any other available Tier X ship for completing shipbuilding phases at the Dockyard. If you do not exchange your Puerto Rico Certificate for one of the resources before the release of Update 0.11.10, you will automatically receive 35,000 Doubloons when the update goes live.

The battle camera will be improved in Update 0.11.7 to make gameplay experience more comfortable.

• The base default view angle will be changed.
  
• The camera performance when using Spotting Aircraft will be improved: Now, a player has two camera positions to choose from to make aiming while using Spotting Aircraft more comfortable.
  
  
  • Lower position, similar to the camera position without Spotting Aircraft.
    
  • Upper position, similar to the current camera position when using Spotting Aircraft.

[expand style=more] [/expand]

• New settings will be added.
  
  
  • Field of view: The setting allows players to set the angle of view themselves. The setting does not affect the Binocular mode.
    
  • Camera height: This allows you to raise and zoom out the camera from a ship.
    
  • Airstrike alternative controls: Enables dynamic camera zoom based on distance when using Airstrike.
• When switching to Airstrike mode, the position of the main battery and torpedo launchers will be fixed.
  
• The camera view angle in the torpedo launcher view is similar to that in the main battery view.
  
• Improved camera performance when tracking flying shells and in replays.

---

Submarines will receive a number of improvements in Update 0.11.7.

• Echo-Ranging Set shows the position of surface ships and highlights the bottom topography.
  
• Low-Frequency Hydrophone allows you to detect submerged submarines.

Hydrophone combines two different tasks and is often used to perform only one, while the second is performed in vain. Splitting the consumable will make playing submarines more comfortable by enabling you to activate exactly the equipment you need at a given time.

Both consumables will be available on all submarines. The settings of the new consumable types will change from the current version of Hydrophone.

Due to interaction specifics, it is common for submarines to accidentally detect each other. Because of this, they come under an airstrike and are forced into a duel with no possibility of safely disengaging. Disabling guaranteed detection will make playing submarines more comfortable, and in case players want to attack an enemy submarine, they will be able to use Low-Frequency Hydrophone.

The change will make playing submarines clearer and help players better understand enemy submarine interaction.

Captains!

We're continuing our mission to keep you posted about the main news of the week via our "In a Nutshell" series. In the new episode, Natali will tell you about the Industry Titans event, separation of exterior customizations from economic bonuses, British battleships in Early Access, and much more!

Today, we're bringing you a chain of hot combat missions dedicated to the summer season, telling you about a combat mission for superships, and showing you how to get submarines for rent.

---

The ancient civilizations of Europe dubbed the unbearably hot summer days “dog days.” This was attributed to the Greek belief about the brightest star in the sky—Sirius—which is part of the Canis Major constellation. Nowadays, however, this name is much more often associated with pets spreadeagled on the ground, weary of the heat. To help you cope with the high temperatures, we've prepared some special rewards and a special combat mission chain.
Starts: Thu. 14 Jul. 07:00 CEST (UTC+2)
Ends: Thu. 11 Aug. 07:00 CEST (UTC+2)

To successfully complete the combat mission chain, you’ll have to earn ribbons and Free XP, as well as deal damage playing Tier V-X ships and superships. As a reward, you’ll receive the "Winston, a Salty Sea Dog!" and Bulldog patches, as well as expendable economic bonuses.

You can complete the combat mission chain in Random, Ranked, and Co-op Battles, as well as in Operations and Brawls.
