NAVAL ACADEMY
Greetings, captains!
If you always wanted to gather your friends and enter battle together,
lead an entire squadron,
find new tactical approaches
by coordinating the actions of different types of ships,
wipe out your opponents with a steel tsunami, and rise to the top of the podium
join Team Battles and fulfill your dream.
In today's episode of Naval Academy
we'll tell you all about creating a Team,
managing it, and leading it into battle.
Team Battles are a 7vs7 battle type available during a specified period of time
called Prime Time
suitable for the majority of players.
In addition, there is a restriction on ships tiers
and a team cannot have more than one aircraft carrier.
After a battle, each player receives credits and experience,
while their Team gets rating points,
which are gathered by a ranking system based on a slightly altered
Elo rating system.
On the basis of this rating, the matchmaker selects teams
with the closest levels of mastery among those who are seeking an opponent.
So, if you have friends who are eager to play with you,
all you need to do is choose a leader to create a Team and lead it to glory.
This ability gets unlocked at Level 12 of the Service Record.
To create a Team, go to your Profile, select the My Teams tab,
click Create a Team and enter a unique name.
Now you are the team leader.
You can invite players to your Team and lead them to battle.
Bear in mind that you can only send invitations to players
who have reached Level 12 of the Service Record.
The leader has the option to rename the team,
remove members who haven't been playing for a while,
and transfer the leadership to other people.
These actions can be performed by clicking the right mouse button
on a player's name from the Team menu, chat, or contact list.
Though Team Battles are 7 vs 7 battles, you can have three substitutes in your team,
thus increasing the roster to ten people.
Each of them can influence the Team's roster and future.
Inviting a new player, removing an inactive player,
and even replacing the leader—all these changes can be initiated by any member.
The final decision is made by a vote.
The first Team member to click Ready becomes commander
and assembles the Team for a battle.
If more than seven people want to participate in a battle,
it's the commander who selects those who stay on the substitutes' bench.
If there are not enough players, you can go to a battle with an incomplete roster.
The minimum required number of players at the moment is four.
The missing players can be replaced by mercenaries.
Here lies another important feature of Team Battles in World of Warships
they are open to individual players as well.
If you don't have a Team, you can set your status in the Port
to "Enlist me in a Team!" and you can be invited to join in.
Or you can simply select Team Battles, click Battle!
and join one of the Teams that entered the queue with an incomplete roster.
The commander can either select players from the list of volunteers
or entrust this task to the matchmaker:
the Team will be staffed either way before entering a battle
and a mercenary who showed their worth can be invited to join the Team.
Each player can participate in three Teams as the leader or a regular member.
The ability to create a second and third Team
unlocks after playing ten battles of this type.
Therefore you can spend some quality time
casually fighting side by side with your friends
and, at the same time,
fight together with a team of highly experienced players
to get to the top of the leaderboard.
We hope that Team Battles will bring you many unforgettable victories.
Good luck in battle, captains!
