New Techline Additions
American Tier VIII battleship Nebraska
When designing the North Carolina-class battleships, the F project was developed—a combination of a battleship and aircraft carrier. However, the proposed preliminary design didn't include a flight deck: the aircraft were supposed to be launched by catapults, and the air group was extremely small. If necessary, the project could be reworked into a full-fledged hybrid battleship-carrier with the hangar transferred to the stern and a flight deck created.
American Tier IX battleship Delaware
In the 1940s and 50s, the option of transforming the Iowa-class battleships into hybrid battleship-carriers was considered. A flight deck at least 350 feet long would need to be installed. It would also be necessary to preserve the ship's combat power. Both requirements could be met by relocating the third turret to the ship's stern and replacing it with a twin-gun turret to compensate for the weight.
American Tier X battleship Louisiana
This was one of the options for completing the Montana-class battleships. To create a hybrid battleship-carrier, a flight deck at least 350 feet long was required, which could only be done by removing the third turret. To preserve her combat power, it was suggested to replace the fourth turret with a quadruple-gun turret.
New Premium Ships
American Tier VI Premium battleship W. Virginia ‘41
The third and final Colorado-class battleship. USS West Virginia spent the interwar period conducting training voyages and exercises. Before World War II, the battleship was supposed to receive bulges, reinforced deck armor, and air defenses, as well as new boilers and a new fire-control system, but the modernization was postponed until 1942, and the ship never went through it. During the Pearl Harbor raid, West Virginia received multiple torpedo and bomb hits, then sank on an even keel. In May 1942, the battleship was raised and repaired, and only then did she finally undergo a radical modernization.
Commonwealth Tier VII Premium destroyer Huron
Named after an Indian tribe in North America, HMCS Huron was the third out of eight Canadian Tribal-class destroyers. She was laid down at a shipyard in Newcastle in 1941. The ship served within the 3rd destroyer flotilla and, as part of it, participated in escorting six northern convoys in 1943 and 1944. In the spring of 1944, she was engaged in operations against French coastal positions, and in 1945, she escorted convoys to Murmansk again.
Pan-American Tier VIII Premium cruiser Almirante Grau
The flagships of the Peruvian Navy traditionally bear the name of Admiral Miguel Grau Seminario. A total of five such ships have existed in history. The third ship bearing this name was purchased from the Netherlands in 1973. Cruiser De Ruyter was laid down in 1939 in Schiedam and completed after the war according to a modified project, which included dual-purpose main battery guns and modern radar equipment. Almirante Grau served as the flagship of the Peruvian Navy for 45 years. At the time of her decommissioning, the ship was the last artillery cruiser belonging to any navy.
German Tier IX Premium cruiser Admiral Schröder
Drawing from the experience gained in World War I, the concept of a large surface raider emerged in Germany in the late 1920s. The projects considered the intention of Great Britain to impose restrictions on battleship armament to a maximum caliber of 305 mm during upcoming naval conferences. Under the proposed designs, the standard displacement varied between 17,500 and 25,000 tons, while the armament consisted of four turrets housing eight 305 mm guns, accompanied by a strong secondary battery of 150 mm guns. The armor was rather light for the ship to be classified as a battleship, as was her anti-torpedo protection.
Japanese Tier IX Premium battleship Daisen
A fast battleship with powerful artillery and torpedo armament. The ship inherited a number of archaic features from projects of the 1910s, including secondary guns mounted in casemates.
Dutch Tier X Premium destroyer Tromp
A large destroyer leader armed with 150 mm guns, officially listed as a light cruiser in the Royal Netherlands Navy.
German Tier X Limited battleship Black Großer Kurfürst
One of the last stages of a battleship design for the German Navy. The ship was fitted with triple-gun turrets designed at the outbreak of World War II. The project was developed based on combat experience and featured powerful torpedo protection, enhanced horizontal armor, and advanced AA guns.
Pan-Asian Tier VIII Limited cruiser Black Harbin
A small cruiser with dual-purpose artillery. Her project was developed in the U.S.S.R. at the turn of the 1930s (MK-6). The ship was primarily designed to counter enemy destroyers.

Additional Information
- Interaction with blocked players has been improved: when a player you've blocked is on your friend list and happens to be in the same Fleet as you, you will now observe that they remain listed as "offline" in the Fleet roster. This enhancement will improve your ability to invite other players to team up or join a room without interruptions.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed Scout Plane cooldown bug: the issue where Scout Planes could be launched even when the skill was on cooldown has been resolved.
- Resolved auto-secondary gun bug: auto-secondary guns have been adjusted to no longer engage targets concealed within smoke or behind islands, enhancing the accuracy and realism of their behavior in combat scenarios. This fix ensures that enemy ships remain hidden as intended in such situations.
- Japanese Tier IV aircraft carrier Hōshō's name fix: the ship's name in Japanese has been corrected to her proper designation, ensuring accuracy and consistency.
- Heavy Repair Teams fix: Corrected an issue where ships with the Heavy Repair Teams would take more damage from flooding and being set on fire.
Anti-Aircraft Modification Rework: Part I
We're initiating a comprehensive rework of the anti-aircraft (AA) systems in the game. We're starting with the Soviet, Japanese, and British nations, aiming to enhance the overall player experience.
These modifications will impact both big and small-caliber AA, improving the effectiveness and realism of AA defenses on these ships.
The next part of our rework is going to happen with Update 7.0 in January.
