[h2]Get Early Access to New German Cruisers![/h2]

A new Tech Tree branch of German cruisers is making its debut in our waters ahead of their full release in Update 14.10. Don't miss the boat—find out how to take part and become one of the first Captains to sail these behemoths into battle.

Deutschland (Tier VI), Admiral Scheer (Tier VII), Knesebeck (Tier VIII), Manteuffel (Tier IX), and Prinz Adalbert (Tier X) have as their main distinguishing feature the ability to assume manual control of their secondary battery—a useful tool to brandish when the ships' large-caliber main guns are in the process of reloading.

Captains!

Our 10th Anniversary update is finally here, but our development team are also already steaming ahead with more new content to come in Update 14.9. It's time for a sneak peek!

Here's a quick breakdown of some of the most notable new content coming in 14.9:

• Liberty Harbor: In honor of the 250th birthday of the U.S. Navy, we invite you to build your own Naval Base—Liberty Harbor. Each structure serves a specific purpose, so choose your build order carefully. Complete combat missions, and once the whole base is finished, you can claim new U.S. cruiser Bridgeport for free, in addition to Commander David Farragut for assembling a dedicated collection.
  
  
• Dockyard: Lüshun B: We're starting Black Friday early this year! You'll soon be able to build the black version of Pan-Asian destroyer Lüshun—a ship that first graced the Dockyard in the form of her standard version in Update 12.7. Complete 35 shipbuilding phases—30 of which can be finished via combat missions—to unlock this rapid-firing, deepwater torpedo-launching machine!
  
  
  
  
• German Reunification Event Pass: Our Event Pass this update is dedicated to the reunification of East and West Germany, a historical event that's celebrated every year in October. The first progression line will net you, among others, statuesque Commander Goldelse.
  
  
  The second progression line offers rewards such as the Infernal permanent camouflage for Tier VIII and X ships, and Commander Delphius Ora-cle.
