Public Test & Bulletin: Update 13.4
Be the first to test out new features coming in the next game update! This time we're testing:
The 80th Anniversary of D-Day Event.
A special edition of Clan Battles with Support Consumables enabled.
Don't forget that the semi-competitive arenas of Ranked Battles Season 16 are wide open to you! Hop into your Port, and choose Ranked from your battle types list.
Here's a quick reminder of the conditions governing all three leagues:
Bronze League: 6v6; Tier VIII ships; Max. 4 battleships, 4 destroyers, 1 submarine. No carriers.

Wiesbaden in the Armory
A new Tier VIII German cruiser has dropped anchor in World of Warships—Wiesbaden!
To grab the ship for yourself, open sequential bundles in the Armory holding containers. You are guaranteed to get the ship after opening all bundles, that is, if you don't already get her from opening one of the containers, because each of them has a chance to drop Wiesbaden!
This light cruiser has low detectability, effective air defenses, and long-range torpedoes. It is capable of dealing a lot of damage with the main caliber per minute and can also use the Smoke Generator.
You know all those Golden Tokens available in the Golden Week Event Pass? It's time to spend them to try to get random rewards, including new Japanese hybrid cruiser Chikuma II and her rare Golden edition!
Each try will cost you 100 Golden Tokens, and will bring you rewards from three categories: Common (economic boons), Rare (Japanese ships, including the new hybrid cruiser Chikuma II), and Supreme (Chikuma II Golden – an exclusive visually distinct version of the new ship).
Guaranteed prizes for all! Take part in our latest giveaway.

Work in Progress: Update 13.4
This is a short overview of the planned features for Update 13.4. 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.
80th Anniversary of D-Day
On the morning of June 6, 1944, the full force of the Western Allied powers was brought to bear against Germany's Atlantic Wall on the beaches of Normandy, in what amounted to the largest amphibious invasion in History.
80 years on, we're commemorating it in World of Warships with three brand-new event Operations spread across Updates 13.4 and 13.5:
Clear the way for landing craft at Utah Beach by suppressing German defenses.
Take command of German destroyers and delay the arrival of Allied forces at Omaha Beach.
Mount a daring rescue operation at Omaha Beach as an Allied ship.
Each Operation will be available for 2 weeks, and you'll be able to participate in Divisions of up to 6 players helming Tier V–VII destroyers, cruisers, and battleships.
The D-Day Operations only have a single difficulty level, and completing the primary objective will not be the hardest part. There will, however, be a series of secondary objectives that will grant you Stars and increase the overall difficulty of the Operation. The Stars will progress you through a special reward track, giving you the opportunity to earn new Classified Document options.
New Mechanic: Classified Documents
A special mechanic, Classified Documents, will be available in these Operations and can be activated against certain enemy groups for additional bonuses. Each Document has three levels: "Confidential," "Secret," and "Top Secret." Each new level grants an additional bonus to the existing Classified Document option.
There are twelve options in total—six Allied and six Axis—and players receive one option per side at the start of the event. Only three can be brought into an Operation at a time. You can either choose them in the Port manually before battle or during a short window of time after the Operation begins.
Clan Battles 25: Support Consumables
Clan Battles Season 25, codenamed "Polar Bear," will be shorter than usual due to its experimental nature—we're adding some of the support consumables you may be familiar with from the recent Piñata Hunt event. These special consumables will provide advantages to you and your team.
To keep teams balanced with these support consumables active, there will be restrictions on the number of consumables that can be taken into battle per Division, as well as restrictions on which types can equip certain consumables.

Update 13.3
A brand-new update has just hit the game servers! USS Wisconsin is being built at the Dockyard, festive Golden Week activities are primed, Asymmetric Battles return... Read our patch notes via the link below to learn all about these and many more new features and activities!
Construction of historic American battleship USS Wisconsin has commenced!
Start working your way toward unlocking as many of the shipbuilding phases as you can by completing combat missions, and remember that you can get battleship West Virginia '44 for free just for reaching phase 20!
Don't sweat it! You have until the end of the next update (Update 13.4) to complete the Dockyard combat missions, but there's no harm in getting a head start!
A new update means a new Event Pass! This time, it's themed around the spring holidays traditionally celebrated in Japan.
You can already get started on completing the daily and weekly missions that will bring you the points required to progress through the different levels of the progression lines.
Among the rewards, you'll find Romanian Commander Andrei Teodorescu, permanent bonus packages, permanent camouflages for Japanese ships, Japanese Commander Ashikaga Teru, and Golden Tokens.
You can spend Golden Tokens at the Wishing Wharf event in the Armory.
Survey: What Do You Think of Update 13.3?
Enjoying the new features introduced by Update 13.3? Let us know what you think via the survey link below!
Build the historic American battleship in Update 13.3!
Ship features:
"Immediate Systems Reload" Combat Instructions that reduce your consumable preparation/cooldown time.
Accurate guns that inflict relatively low damage.
High speed and good concealment, but relatively weak armor.
The shipbuilding process consists of 30 phases, 28 of which can be progressed through by completing Dockyard combat missions. When you reach shipbuilding phase 20, you'll also be rewarded with West Virginia '44. If you already have her in your fleet, you'll receive three Dockyard phases instead; so, with that and completing enough combat missions, you can earn Wisconsin completely free!
The Dockyard combat missions can be completed during Updates 13.3 and 13.4, while the Dockyard will remain available until the start of Update 13.6.
Golden Week Festivities
The new update welcomes a new Event Pass dedicated to the special holiday celebrated in Japan and East Asian countries!
The Event Pass consists of two 20-level progression lines.
Among the rewards of the first progression line, you'll find Romanian Commander Andrei Teodorescu, permanent camouflages, a permanent bonus package for Tier VII ships, and Golden Tokens.
For the second progression line, you can expect the Japanese Lacquer permanent camouflage for Kongō, the Dawn Harmony permanent camouflage for Shimanto and Takahashi, a permanent bonus package for a Tier VIII ship, new Japanese Commander Ashikaga Teru, and Doubloons.
Golden Tokens can be spent at the Wishing Wharf event in the Armory.
Wishing Wharf
During the Wishing Wharf event, you can spend Golden Tokens to try to get random rewards. Each Try will cost you 100 Golden Tokens.
The event rewards are separated into three categories based on their rarity:
Common rewards: Special and rare economic bonuses, Free and Elite Commander XP, Credits, and signals.
Rare rewards: Hyūga, Maya, new hybrid cruiser Chikuma II, and Hayate, as well as themed permanent camouflages for Hyūga, Maya, Mogami, Hayate, and Yamato.
Supreme reward: Chikuma II Golden with characteristics similar to Chikuma II but a unique appearance.
Asymmetric Battles
Here's some good news for PvE fans—we've decided to bring Asymmetric Battles back for the entire duration of Update 13.3!
The rules haven't changed since the last iteration, and as for the bots, they'll continue to be a 12-ship team two tiers lower than each tier represented in the player team.
Leaderboard
A new Armory activity starts in May! Join the competition and earn cumulative Base XP in all battle types. You'll be able to track your progress, as your position will be updated hourly. The top 5 players in each realm will be rewarded with Tsurugi, while the top 6 to 50 players will get a discount coupon for the purchase of Tsurugi. All participants who earn at least 3,000 Base XP during the event will get 500 Community Tokens as a reward.

During the event, you can obtain Piñata Tokens by completing combat missions, then exchange these Tokens for rewards in the Armory.
