Here’s the full overall description of everything new in Update 6.1:
Personal Challenges
Expansive chain missions tied to each nation and separated by ship type—the bigger your ship collection, the more you can achieve!
- Each nation and its respective ship types have a chain mission connected to them. All chain missions use the same criteria and progress is calculated separately. For example, if the U.S. ship Techline has four ship types but the Pan-Asian one only supports two (destroyers and cruisers), there will be four chain missions available for the U.S. line but only two for the Pan-Asian line.
- It is necessary to select the appropriate ship type and tier for the mission to be completed.
- You can view mission progress on the battle results page once the mission has been completed. The next mission will be unlocked automatically.
- There are currently only two types of missions—Score and Damage; each mission is either one type or the other.
It should be noted that Personal Challenges will not be active at all times. There will be a start and end period. Once the event ends, all unclaimed rewards will be removed.

New Techline Addition
Soviet aircraft carriers will be arriving in Early Access in March!
Soviet Tier IV aircraft carrier Komsomolets
A small and relatively slow aircraft carrier that was reconstructed from a training ship.

A light fleet carrier design based on the hull of the Project 68 cruiser that was developed in the U.S.S.R. in the late 1930s (Project 71).
Soviet Tier VIII aircraft carrier Pobeda
A variant of a large aircraft carrier project based on the hull of a Kronshtadt-class cruiser. The ship's main artillery armament comprises 130 mm dual-purpose mounts.
Soviet Tier X aircraft carrier Admiral Nakhimov
A design for completing a Project 23 battleship as a heavy aircraft carrier. The ship's AA defenses consist of artillery systems that were developed during the post-war period.
New Premium Ships
German Tier VI cruiser Leipzig
A light cruiser that embodies the further development of the Königsberg-class ships. She differs from her predecessors in her layout and slightly modified defense system.
Japanese Tier VII cruiser Tokachi
A project to reequip the Furutaka-class cruiser with 127 mm dual-purpose artillery placed in six twin turrets.
German Tier VIII destroyer Z-35
The lead ship in a series of Type 1936B destroyers, built during World War II under a project that was modified to incorporate the combat experience and operational capacity of ships from the preceding series. These ships carried a reinforced AA battery and 128 mm main guns.
Soviet Tier VIII battleship Borodino
A "small battleship" project developed in the early 1950s, with her main armament consisting of several heavy guns concentrated at her fore end. Such ships were designed to act in groups and be able to cope with any full-fledged battleship.
British Tier VIII aircraft carrier Black Implacable
The most advanced British aircraft carrier of World War II. She was inferior to her foreign counterparts of comparable dimensions in terms of the number of aircraft her air group comprised, but she boasted a conceptual advantage that enhanced the ship’s survivability—an armored flight deck.
European Tier X destroyer Ragnar
A large post-war destroyer with cruiser-caliber guns and strong AA armament.
German Tier X battleship Mecklenburg
A battleship with sixteen 305 mm guns in quadruple-gun turrets. The ship's AA defenses comprise systems developed in the 1940s.
Japanese Tier X cruiser Black Zaō
A very powerful cruiser in all respects. Compared with the preceding classes of heavy cruisers, Zaō had a greater number of main battery and AA guns, thick armor, and reinforced torpedo armament.
Please note: All the above-mentioned ships will be released throughout the course of the next few months.
