Captains, it brings me great pleasure to usher
in the first World of Warships summer Update for this year!
Get ready for loads of exciting things,
including the Dockyard in the Port of Hamburg;
updated Combat Missions and Armory sections;
replacements in the Soviet cruiser branch,
and new ships available in exchange for resources.
My name is Dasha Perova and this is the Update 0.9.5 review!
Captains, welcome in the new Dockyard to the German Port of Hamburg.
Two ships at once are ready to be built there:
cruiser Admiral Graf Spee and battleship Odin.
Shipbuilding at the Dockyard comprises 20 phases,
and you will be able to continue building throughout Updates 0.9.5 and 0.9.6.
Shipbuilding phases can be completed by progressing through Directives.
The reward for completing the 10th phase is Admiral Graf Spee
in the special War Paint camouflage.
By finishing Directives,
you'll be able to complete 18 out of the 20 shipbuilding phases.
By doing so, in addition to the famous "pocket battleship,"
you'll obtain lots of desirable in-game items.
Aside from that, you'll also get an excellent discount on Odin,
which is available at the 20th shipbuilding phase.
Still have questions about the Dockyard?
Check our website—you’ll find a detailed article about the event there.
The second main new feature in Update 0.9.5
is a large-scale update of the Combat Missions section.
In addition to a new interface,
we’ve added missions with an "or" condition,
for which you need to complete only one of two given requirements.
This will give you the ability to choose your preferred criteria
and then accomplish it playing the most suitable ship you have.
You can also track your progress in combat missions via a separate window,
and their display in the post-battle statistics
is now more detailed and clear.
The Armory has also been updated
and now has a more functional and convenient interface.
For example, you now have the ability to preview
any available ships and camouflages in this section of the game.
Let's move from the updated game sections to other important news—
changes to the Soviet cruiser branch.
Starting from Update 0.9.5,
Moskva is being removed from the Tech Tree and will receive a special status.
Tier V Kirov is also leaving the Tech Tree to become a Premium ship.
In Update 0.9.5,
these ships will appear in your Port with their new statuses
if you researched them at least once while progressing through the branch.
It doesn't matter if you haven’t purchased Moskva or Kirov,
or if you reset the entire branch, for example.
Two newcomers will take their vacant spots in the Soviet branch—
cruiser Kotovsky at Tier V and cruiser Alexander Nevsky at Tier X.
Moskva and Kirov are moving
to the "Ships for Resources" section of the Armory.
Kirov will be available for 43,000 Coal,
and Moskva—for 244,000 Coal.
And it’s not just Soviet cruisers you’ll find in the Armory,
you should also expect some other interesting newcomers.
The proud owner of 510 mm guns—
Japanese battleship Shikishima— will be available in exchange for Steel;
Tier IX German heavy cruiser Siegfried— for Research Points.
In addition to those ships,
players will also have a chance to take command
of another German heavy cruiser— Tier IX Ägir.
She can be purchased either from the Premium Shop
or researched in the German Tech Tree in exchange for Free XP.
On to other news...
Update 0.9.5 has something in store for enthusiasts of competitive game modes—
another Ranked Sprint awaits those who dare.
It will be fought in a 8 versus 8 format, playing Tier VIII ships.
The available rewards include Coal, credits,
and a considerable number of signals.
Clan members are invited to participate in two Clan Brawls.
The first will be held in a 3 versus 3 format, playing Tier X ships.
In the second, you'll be able to take your Tier VIII ships
out to clash in 4 versus 4 battles.
You can expect some nice rewards
and choose a prime time that’s convenient for your Clan.
The visual component of the game has been further improved in this Update.
Riposte, Operation Killer Whale, Defense of Naval Station Newport,
Narai, and Raptor Rescue now use a new lighting model.
We've also improved the looks of such Ports as Dunkirk,
Kronstadt, and The Designer's Table.
On the Sleeping Giant map,
the height and location of the islands
on one of the attack directions have been changed.
On the Greece map,
a mound has appeared on an island within Key Area A
that will prevent the situation where ships from one team
get detected faster than their opponents.
In this video, I’ve told you only about the main changes
and new features of Update 0.9.5.
