Ahoy Commanders!
Update 1.4 has arrived and it brought British ships with it.
New line of ships: U.K. Cruisers
The Royal Navy Tech Tree is expanding with 10 new ships! These light cruisers have great mobility and lose less speed while turning compared to other cruisers. Use them to fight against enemy destroyers and cruisers, and to protect allied battleships.
- You can only fire AP shells from the main guns. When using the narrow launch mode, you can only launch a single torpedo.
- The new ships are:
• Tier I: Black Swan
• Tier II: Weymouth
• Tier III: Caledon
• Tier IV: Danae
• Tier V: Emerald
• Tier VI: Leander
• Tier VII: Fiji
• Tier VIII: Edinburgh
• Tier IX: Neptune
• Tier X: Minotaur
New Port: London
Own a Tier V U.K. cruiser or higher to unlock the stunning London port!
Modified: Daily Containers
- The daily containers have been changed to blueprint containers, each containing blueprints for a specific ship type:
• Gunboat Blueprint Container: Drops blueprints for battleships, cruisers, and destroyers equipped with guns.
• Torpedo Ship Blueprint Container: Drops blueprints for destroyers and cruisers equipped with torpedo tubes.
• Aircraft Carrier Blueprint Container: Drops blueprints for aircraft carriers.
- Once you have unlocked a container, you can choose which one to open. Choose wisely!
- Each container will drop two random blueprints for the selected type of ship.
- Containers are unlocked by collecting XP from battles. You can now collect 4 containers from the XP progress bar per day.
- Advanced and Elite Challenges also reward you with an additional container per challenge, which means up to 4 extra containers per day.
- Keep your eye on events such as Victory Blitz, which might have containers with rewards as well!
- Blueprints will still drop from battles as well.
