This is a short overview of the planned features for Update 13.2. For more information about the upcoming features and rewards for participating in the Public Test, visit the dedicated article on our website.

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.[/style]


We've created a brand-new battle type and special map for Update 13.2. Piñata Hunt pits two teams of seven Tier VIII–IX ships against one another while also tasking them to compete in sinking a special Piñata ship.

Sinking the Piñata will spawn a control point that shrinks over time for the two teams to compete over.

Upon entering battle, one of 14 event-themed camouflages will be randomly applied to your ship. A brand-new custom explosion animation will play for any ships that get sunk during the hunt.

We're also introducing a new feature—support consumables—for this game mode; they will aid you and your team in sinking the Piñata ship. Each ship can pick one consumable to take into battle, and it can be recharged for everyone on your team up to three times during each battle by entering three interactive zones that will spawn as the Piñata takes damage.

By participating in the event, you can obtain Piñata Tokens that are redeemable for candy-themed permanent camouflages.



We're introducing more changes in Update 13.2 to further combat "shotgunning" by submarines while maintaining the same level of effectiveness for the class. Submarine torpedoes are also being adjusted to deal different amounts of damage based on the distance from the launch point to their target.


Update 13.2 welcomes a new line of Commonwealth cruisers and their entirely new Tech Tree to Early Access. These are the new ships: Sutlej, Port Jackson, Caradoc, Dunedin, Delhi, Hobart, Uganda, Auckland, Encounter, and Cerberus.

These ships deal decent damage per minute, but their drawbacks include relatively poor ballistics and slow-traversing turrets. At Tier VII, their torpedoes become long range to the extent that they can even be launched from stealth.

Ships of the line feature Hydroacoustic Search, available in its own slot at Tier IV and sharing a slot with Defensive AA Fire at later tiers. Starting from Tier V, they gain access to the signature Commonwealth Crawling Smoke Generator, and from Tier VIII, they have Repair Party.

Starting from Tier V, Commonwealth cruisers also have access to an enhanced variant of the Submarine Surveillance consumable with an improved range, and their Depth Charge Airstrike characteristics also improve.

• Clan interface improvements: We've improved the Clan interface by including two additional windows: one displaying Clan bonuses and the other displaying the Clan description and info. We've also added the ability to include a clickable Discord link in the Clan description.
  
• Commonwealth Commanders: New portraits and voiceovers for standard Commonwealth Commanders are being added to reflect India, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada.

Captains!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2812880/World_of_Warships__FREE_DLC_to_Celebrate_the_Year_of_the_Dragon/

Changes to submarines and ASW, Lunar New Year celebrations, exterior system update, collaborations with popular YouTubers, the return of Airship Escort, and more!
This is a short overview of Update 13.1. You'll find more information in dedicated articles on our website.
EU NA ASIA

As we announced previously, we're working on solving major problems with submarine interactions, and we're now ready to present some changes to submarines and ASW. With these changes, we're aiming to create more consistent interactions between submarines and surface ships while still maintaining the current level of combat effectiveness of submarines.

Starting with Update 13.1, most expendable camouflages available in the game will get their permanent versions. New permanent camouflages will operate similarly to already existing permanent camouflages, such as New Year, Epoch, or Made of Steel; however, you'll be able to mount them on ships of any tier. These camouflages can either be purchased or earned through various activities, events, and missions.

Participate in our themed Event Pass for the occasion and journey through two progression lines that offer a plethora of rewards! Each line comprises a total of 20 levels – complete them to earn all the main rewards and gain access to additional rewards by completing extra levels.
As part of the Lunar New Year celebrations, the New Year Beast patch, Lunar Demon permanent camouflage for Hsienyang, and Commander Nian with an individual voiceover have been added to the game. The Dragon Port has also been updated for the occasion.

Airship Escort returns as a separate temporary game type in the third week of Update 13.1!
As always, your goal is to help the allied airship to reach its destination while protecting it from opponents. Alternatively, you can achieve victory by destroying all enemy ships.
Format

• 12 vs. 12
  
• Tier VIII–X ships
  
• All ship types

Early Access to the new U.S. aircraft carrier line is ongoing! You can still earn American Tokens from random bundles available for Doubloons and then exchange them for rewards in the Armory: Essex with a 10-skill-points Commander and Port slot, the Hero of Midway permanent camouflage for Yorktown, the Defender of the Pacific Ocean permanent camouflage for Essex, up to 10x Wings of Freedom Premium containers, and Credits.
With the release of Update 13.2, this branch will become available for all players in the Tech Tree.

A week after Update 13.1 is out, Clan Battles Season 24—dubbed "Sea Dragon"—commences.
Clan Battles offer an excellent opportunity to show off your skills in World of Warships. It's not only the results of individual battles that are important here but also general progress. Fight alongside your allies and rise to the top!
Win Clan Battles to earn valuable rewards, such as Steel, Oil, days of Warships Premium Account, and combat signals, as well as rare and unique expendable economic bonuses. The more victories you achieve, the more rewards you'll earn!

Welcome a new addition to the Armory: with the release of Update 13.1, Sicilia will become available to purchase for 60,000 Research Points.
Battleship Sicilia takes her name from the famous island in southern Italy, as well as the swift and mighty ironclad of the same name which served in the Regia Marina at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
An event dedicated to the Battle of the Java Sea, one of the famous naval battles of the Pacific campaign of World War II, starts in the second week of Update 13.1.
We've prepared a special mission chain that can bring you various rewards, including Java Sea Tokens; one of two new historical Commanders, Takeo Kurita or Karel Doorman; Battle of the Java Sea containers; and a Battle of the Java Sea Premium container. Java Sea Tokens will also be available in special bundles in the Armory for Doubloons.

We've partnered with five major content creators to bring their unique content to World of Warships! CouRageJD, MoistCr1TiKaL, Ludwig, Nadeshot, and Sapnap are preparing to sail out on our virtual seas. Their respective Commanders—CouRage, CHUCK BLAST, Stonebeard, Nadeshot, and Sapnap—are voiced by the famous YouTubers themselves!
But that's not all: we've also prepared thematic commemorative flags representing each of them, as well as permanent camouflages carefully crafted with their input—Pride of the CouRageous for Leander, BLAST MASTER for Bayern, Stonewash for Normandie, Thief's Future for Pensacola, and Fire Carrier for Fubuki.
We've updated the benefits of our YouTube membership program. Complete special combat missions in Update 13.1 to earn Community Tokens, along with Journey to the West containers and Lunar New Year containers!
We're expanding this program to the channels of our contributors so that more Captains can support the content they like. This means that, in addition to the three levels of membership on our official channel, you can now purchase the WoWS Commander membership level from our contributors. Check all the details here.
