Work in Progress: Update 13.7
This is a short overview of the planned features for Update 13.7. If you want to participate in the Public Test for the coming update and read more about its features, visit the dedicated article on our website:
IMPORTANT! Because the update is still being tested, the information in this article is tentative and reflects the state of game development at the time of its publication. Some changes and new features may be removed entirely or implemented differently by the time the update goes live.
Dockyard: Almirante Oquendo
The construction of a new Tier IX Spanish cruiser—Almirante Oquendo—begins in Update 13.7!
Armed with twelve 203 mm barrels, this ship comes equipped with an alternative fire mode—Modified Shells—that makes her guns 20% more accurate at the cost of longer reload times when activated.
Building Almirante Oquendo at the Dockyard involves 20 construction phases. Most of these phases can be advanced through by completing combat missions, but you'll need to finish any two phases by other means if you want to build the ship. If you already own Tier VI German cruiser Leipzig—which we're giving away as an intermediate reward in the construction process—you'll be granted those additional two phases instead of the ship when you reach this reward on the progression line! Otherwise, as usual, you can also purchase phases for Doubloons to make progress.
The current Dockyard event runs until the start of Update 13.10, and the combat missions will continue to be available until the end of Update 13.8. Once 13.9 rolls around, you'll only be able to progress further in the Dockyard by purchasing phases for Doubloons.
Colorful Regatta Event Pass
For Update 13.7's Event Pass, we're basking in summer's vibrant colors.
Our first progression line will paint your summer with Colorful Tokens, the Colorful Regatta flag, a Colorful Regatta Premium container, 3 days of Warships Premium Account, and other valuable rewards.
You can unlock the second progression line for Doubloons, and enjoy the mosaic of Fields of Tuscany permanent camouflage, more Colorful Tokens, a healthy dose of Coal, Steel, and other valuable rewards.
Web Adventure With Theseus
An exciting new narrative adventure awaits you on our website in Update 13.7! The story explores the "what if...?" of an alternate history from the perspective of the United Kingdom, centered around our latest addition to the game, British Tier VIII aircraft carrier Theseus.
During the adventure, you'll decide how the story unfolds. All of your choices, aside from the first one, will activate special missions that you must complete to progress the story further. Once you've made all of your choices and finished all the missions, the story will end and 6-skill-point Commander William Taylor will join your roster.
The Armory is teeming with special bundles offering you Heart of Oak Premium containers, plus bundles that hold Theseus, a permanent camouflage for Tier X British battleship Thunderer, and more!

Open Test: Aircraft Carrier Mechanic Changes
We're ready to show off new aircraft carrier gameplay. Sign up to the test and try it out for yourself! We're conducting an open test of some previously-announced aircraft carrier gameplay changes!
To gain access to the test server, you need to create a Wargaming account and download the official "Wagaming Game Center" launcher.
An all-new branch is springing out of the French Navy Tech Tree! Newcomer French destroyers L'Adroit, Duchaffault, Le Hardi, L'Aventurier, Orage, and Cassard take on the role of close-range torpedo boats.
Starting from Tier VII, the ships will have access to powerful torpedoes that can travel fast and far, but inflict variable damage based on the distance they travel. In other words, they are most effective at close range and lose destructive power the longer they travel.
Early Access: How to Unlock
The Tier V and VII ships can be unlocked in the first and second progression lines of the French Destroyers Event Pass, respectively.
The Tier VI, VIII, IX, and X ships can be found in consecutive bundles from a dedicated section of the Armory.
