Developer Bulletin for Update 12.1

IMPORTANT! Because the update is still being tested, the information in this bulletin 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. Screenshots, specific values of certain characteristics, and details of in-game mechanics will not necessarily be relevant after the update is released.



Please note: The rewards for activities on the Public Test Server may differ from those on the Live Server.

Technical Updates[/th][/tr][/table]

Early Access to British Submarines


[expand style="more"] [/expand]
British submarines hit the seas in Early Access in Update 12.1. To celebrate the occasion, the Iron Resilience permanent camouflage for VIII Sturdy and the Victoria Cross permanent camouflage for X Thrasher, as well as the British Submarines commemorative flag, have been added to the game.

[expand style="more"] [/expand]

The British submarines will not be available on the Public Test server.



Global Combat Missions


Global combat missions are being introduced into the game in Update 12.1. Their goal will be common to all players on the server, and each participant will contribute to the mission progress. Global combat missions can be represented both by chains and individual missions.

After completing a global combat mission, all players who participated in it will receive the final reward. It's possible to complete global combat missions before their official deadlines. If this happens, only those players who actually contributed to the mission progress will receive the reward.

[expand style="more"] [/expand]

Domination With New Settings


During Public Test 12.1, you will be able to try out the modified Domination mode with three Key Areas for Random Battles. The new settings are aimed at eliminating situations where battles are too long or too short.

New Settings


  • Starting number of points at the beginning of battle: 200
  • Points when destroying an enemy ship: +40 for all ship types
  • Points when losing a ship: –32 for all ship types

The modified Domination mode will be added to the following maps: New Dawn, Fault Line, Shards, Trident, Neighbors, Crash Zone Alpha, Northern Waters, and Faroe Islands. We will decide on the final fate of the modified Domination based on the results of testing the new settings.

[expand style="more"] [/expand]

Technical Updates


Added interactive music for submarines. It will match the special stealthy gameplay of submarines. The music will change depending on several factors:
  • Combat situation
  • Actions performed by the submarine or her opponents
  • Location of the submarine—on the surface or underwater

The new music will be active in Dynamic and Mixed modes.

Updated the display of squadrons on the decks of aircraft carriers in the Port and in battle. Aircraft carrier decks now display all types of squadrons available on the ship. The number of aircraft of each squadron on deck is equal to the size of the attacking flight.

Airship Escort in Update 12.0

The battle type that tasks you with escorting airships returns to the game with some improvements and a new name.

Airships historically carried intelligence agents bearing important messages and diplomats traveling to conduct secret negotiations in neutral territories.

Your objectives are to delay the hostile airship while also making sure that your allied airship is the first to reach the destination point.

[table][tr][th]Rules
Rewards
Maps[/th][/tr][/table]

Rules


Restrictions


The battle type involves Tier VIII–X ships of all types fighting in teams of 12.

The Task


Lead your allied airship to its destination before the opposing team does or destroy all hostile ships.

Ships can affect the speed of the allied or opposing airships by staying within an interactive zone near each one:
  • Airships move at a standard speed if there are no players within its interactive zone.
  • Airships accelerate if only allied ships are within the borders of their interactive zones.
  • Airships slow down if at least one opposing ship is within the borders of their interactive zones.

If your team simultaneously speeds up the allied airship and slows down the opposing airship, the allied airship now receives additional acceleration. This change will help prevent situations that previously occurred where battles continued for too long when one of the teams was able to gain a serious lead over the opposing team. At the same time, the base airship speed has been reduced to prevent battles between equal teams from ending too quickly.

[expand style="more"] [/expand]
While staying within the interactive zone of any airship, players earn acceleration and slowdown points, plus some extra Credits and XP per battle.

The interface of the battle type has been revamped:
  • New hints that pop up in battle have been added, and the old ones have been updated.
  • The airship icons and movement progress bar have been changed.
  • The display of airship routes on the Minimap has been updated.
  • We've added new quick commands that can be activated by clicking the icon on the airship movement bar.

Rewards
