Greetings, Captains!
Independence Day and updated U.S. destroyer models for the occasion;
the return of Convoy; the Faroe Islands map;
and other new World of Warships features in Update 0.11.5.
World of Warships is gearing up for the Independence Day celebrations.
We have special discounts, combat missions, and themed content.
A special chain of combat missions will become available in late June.
Completing it will earn you Commander Statue of Liberty
with a special voiceover and 6 skill points.
A special combat mission to obtain the July 4 patch
will become available in early July.
And, of course, something new and interesting awaits you
in the Armory in early July.
You'll be able to purchase new cruiser San Diego,
the 1776 permanent camouflage for her,
Commander Statue of Liberty, and other themed content.
You'll find more details on our website.
In preparation for Independence Day,
we've also boosted the characteristics of U.S. steel giants—
Kansas, Minnesota, and Vermont—
and we've also updated U.S. destroyer models.
In Update 0.11.5,
the models of Mahan, Benson, Fletcher,
and Gearing are getting revamped.
In Update 0.11.6, we're revamping the models of Sampson,
Wickes, Clemson, Nicholas, Farragut, and Premium destroyer Sims.
Convoy is making its way back into the game in this update.
We've also updated the rules and format.
You'll still have to defend or attack transport ships
playing Tier VIII–X ships, this time in a 12v12 format.
The defending team wins if at least
one of the convoy transport ships reaches the end of the route
or if all the attacking ships are sunk.
The attacking team has to sink all the convoy ships
or all the convoy's defenders.
The defending team needs to escort a total of six transport ships.
Depending on the map, they will be split into two or three convoys.
Each will have its own route, with one or several destinations.
Last fall, you helped us pick the visual style of the new map.
Today, meet the Faroe Islands in Update 0.11.5!
Battles among snow-covered rocky islands with steep banks are waiting for you.
You'll be able to experience the Faroe Islands map
playing Tier VII–X ships and superships.
Battles on this map utilize Domination mode
with three or four Key Areas.
This update brings back the roughest
and most noble combat type in World of Warships—
Brawl in a 1 vs. 1 format!
It consists of two stages.
The first stage involves Tier IX ships,
and the second—Tier X ships.
Duels take place on smaller maps in Domination mode.
The winners will get Сoal, Сredits, and Elite Commander XP,
as well as economic and combat signals.
Update 0.11.5 brings back Personal Challenges.
Show off your skills by earning as much Base XP per battle as possible.
Each completed Personal Challenge mission
will earn you 50 Community Tokens
and 50 Coal.
The entire event can bring you as many as 5,000 Community Tokens.
In Update 0.11.5,
we've improved the matchmaker for submarines at your request.
The total number of submarines and destroyers is now limited.
Each team can have no more than four or five of them,
with a maximum of two submarines.
When the first player in the queue reaches the 90-second threshold,
the restrictions will become less strict.
Captains, get ready for another collaboration with Transformers!
Autobots and Decepticons are returning to World of Warships
with more themed content.
You'll be able to adorn new ships with already familiar camouflages.
In addition, the contents of the Cybertronian container
are getting updated.
The full details will be announced later.
That's all for today!
Good luck and fair seas, Captains!
