Our new update brings submarines to Ranked Battles,
the Rotterdam Dockyard, ongoing Early Access to Dutch Cruisers,
a new Clan Battles season, and some changes to Commander skills.
Update 0.10.7 in World of Warships is suitably hot for the summer!
A submarine test in the new Ranked Battles season
is one of the highlights of Update 0.10.7.
Free daily random bundles from the Armory
will bring you either Coal or two submarines to rent for 3 days.
You will have a week to find out what the new ship type is capable of
in Co-op Battles before the Ranked Battles season kicks off.
Note that Commanders will receive submarine skills,
while some skills for other warship types
will receive additional effects to counter submarines.
You can find more details on how to play submarines
in a dedicated article on our website and in a special video.
By the way, if you haven't subscribed to our channel yet,
now's the best time to do so!
Then you won't miss out on anything new.
Meanwhile, Early Access to Dutch cruisers is ongoing in the game.
You can obtain Dutch cruisers of Tiers IV, VI, VIII, and IX,
which arrived in Early Access in Update 0.10.6,
from random and sequentially available bundles in the Armory.
Prepare for some combat mission chains that are dedicated to the new ships!
The reward for completing the chains
is the "Dutch Cruisers: Part 2" commemorative flag
and Klaas Janssen—a unique Commander with improved skills.
Demolition Expert has a 1.5% chance
of setting enemy ships on fire with HE shells instead of 1%,
while Focus Fire Training provides 35% AA defense damage in the priority sector
instead of 25%.
The Dutch cruisers from Tier I through Tier X
will become available to research in the next update.
For the current update, we've prepared yet another "Flying Dutchman" for you.
She's a new Dutch Tier VIII Premium cruiser—De Zeven Provinciёn.
She carries eight dual-purpose 152-mm guns
with a medium firing range and high rate of fire, housed in four turrets.
The ship is equipped with the Repair Party and Engine Boost consumables,
as well as the Airstrike armament.
You'll be building the new ship at the Rotterdam Dockyard.
The Dockyard combat mission groups
can be completed during the current and next updates;
the shipbuilding phases can be completed
by spending Doubloons until the end of Update 0.10.9.
You'll encounter other rewards on your way to De Zeven Provinciёn
such as a Tier V Premium Ship container, Free XP, Coal, Steel,
Elite Commander XP, days of Premium Account time,
Distant Voyages containers, and much more.
You can find more details about the Rotterdam Dockyard on our website.
Now, let's talk about Commander news.
We've received a great deal of feedback from you over the past two updates
and accumulated a large volume of data.
Based on the data, we've worked on the game balance
and either improved or replaced some unpopular skills.
That's why resetting Commander skills will be free of charge in Update 0.10.7.
You can find more details about the dates and conditions on our website.
Don't forget about the new skills for our new ship type!
We'll shed some more light on Ranked Battles with submarines.
The Fourth Season of Ranked Battles starts on August 18
and comprises six Ranked Sprints.
The first Ranked Sprint runs for a week, all the rest—for 2 weeks.
After qualifying, you can continue to play in the next league
without having to wait for the start of the next Sprint.
Battles utilize a 7 vs. 7 format,
and each team can have up to two submarines.
The Bronze League features Tier VI ships,
the Silver League—Tier VIII ships, and the Gold League—Tier X ships.
More details are available in a dedicated article.
All fans of team battles can test their skills in Clan Battles
playing Tier VI ships in 7 vs. 7 battles.
Now, let's visit the Armory.
With the release of the update, large European post-war destroyer Ragnar,
which has four long-range 152-mm guns housed in two turrets,
will become available in the Armory.
The ship features a large HP pool and powerful AA defenses,
but this Tier X ship lacks torpedoes.
Her list of consumables includes Repair Party, Surveillance Radar,
and Emergency Engine Power, which increases the ship's speed by 30%.
Ragnar can be obtained in exchange for 27,000 Steel.
But wait, there's more news!
A new collaboration is coming to World of Warships—
this time, it's the magnificent Legend of the Galactic Heroes: The New Thesis!
Fans of the universe will find spectacular permanent camouflages
for Baltimore, Kansas, August von Parseval, and Z-23;
Commanders Reinhard von Lohengramm, Siegfried Kircheis, Dusty Attenborough,
Frederica Greenhill, and Yang Wen-li;
Free Planets Alliance and Galactic Empire expendable camouflages;
and patches and containers.
The update is going to be big and interesting!
You can find other news in a dedicated article on our website.
That's all for today! Have a great summer, Captains!
