Greetings, Captains!
I'm happy to inform you that the new game update
is ready to sail onto all the World of Warships servers!
British submarines in Early Access,
global combat missions,
an updated Domination mode,
a new Clan Battles season,
and other new features and improvements await you!
I'm Julls, and this is the Update 12.1 review!
Players will find a new Battle Pass with great rewards
in each new World of Warships update.
While we're hardly reinventing the wheel,
the Battle Pass acts as a reliable source of Coal, Steel, economic bonuses,
signals, Free XP, Credits, Port slots, Elite Commander XP, and Research Points.
Restocking on everything you need by playing, what could be better?
Only the final rewards can top that!
The Free Pass will bring you seven containers
with rare economic bonuses and British Tokens;
the Premium Pass—10,000 Research Points.
An event dedicated to U.S. hybrid battleships in Early Access
is ongoing in our game.
Captain, have you met newcomers Nebraska, Delaware, and Louisiana in battle?
Share your opinions on these ships with us in the comments,
and don't forget
that you can complete combat missions in the game right now
to obtain Commander Statue of Liberty with a unique voiceover!
The third week of Update 12.1 will bring even more new ships to Early Access.
I'm talking about the British submarines.
Undine, Sturdy, and Thrasher are the names of our three Royal Navy newcomers.
Want to take the helms of the new ships ahead of everybody else?
Then make sure to earn British Tokens—a temporary resource.
You can exchange these for various in-game items under a special tab of the Armory.
The number of Tokens you can earn will be sufficient
to obtain Undine from sequential bundles for free.
These bundles also hold other rewards,
including the Iron Resilience
and Victoria Cross permanent camouflages for British submarines.
Update12.1 introduces global combat missions to the game.
The goals of these missions are shared across all players on each server,
and every participant can make their individual contribution
to the overall progress.
They can appear as separate missions or as combat mission chains in the game.
After completing a global combat mission,
all players who contributed to its progress will receive well-deserved rewards.
In Update 12.1,
a chain of global combat missions will bring players British Tokens
and the British Submarines commemorative flag.
As for submarines...
We've changed the musical accompaniment for this ship type in the new game update.
Interactive music now accompanies submarine battles
and matches their dynamic and stealthy gameplay.
The intensity of the music changes depending on the combat situation
and the position of the submarine.
The new music is available in the Dynamic and Mixed modes.
Update 12.1 brings some interesting changes to the Domination mode.
You'll be able to experience them in battles that feature three Key Areas.
We've scaled down the starting number of points
at the beginning of each battle for both teams,
and your team will now receive the same number of points
for sinking any opposing ship,
regardless of its type.
And the opposite also applies.
If your team loses a ship, the same number of points will always be deducted,
and the type of the lost ship won't affect that number in any way.
These new configurations are designed to reduce the frequency of battles
that finish too quickly or go on for too long.
Update 12.1 will please fans of competitive modes—
a new season of Clan Battles dubbed "Salamander" is coming!
The upcoming season will be a real feast of new tactics for players.
The teams in each battle will be composed of more unusual combinations of ships.
This is all thanks to a number of limitations
on the usage of different ships.
You'll find the exact limits stated in the rules of the 20th Clan Battle season.
The battles will utilize a 7 vs. 7 format with Tier X ships.
Expect solid rewards, commemorative achievements, and universal recognition!
Another piece of news is dedicated to
quite an interesting pirate adventure on our website.
It will bring our players an abundance of unique rewards!
One of these rewards is Commonwealth Tier X cruiser Brisbane.
Another significant reward is a Commander—
bush ranger Matilda Kelly!
We'll disclose the details and criteria to obtain them later.
Follow our news, Captain!
You'll find more details about Update 12.1 in a special article on our website.
I, Julls, wish you many victories and good times, Captains!
