Update 0.8.7.1

Please note that the servers will be temporarily unavailable due to the release of an update. The schedule is available below.
Maintenance times are tentative and subject to change. Please accept our apologies for any inconveniences.


The new update will go live some time after it's been downloaded because the client and server sides are updated separately. While the client begins to update immediately, it takes time for the servers to be updated across all regions.

If there are problems with downloading or launching the update—please perform files integrity check.

Update 0.8.7.1 hits the live servers on September 4. With its arrival, European destroyer Friesland is entering the game, and the Armory is set to offer random bundles that can be obtained in exchange for Coal.

Due to the release of Update 0.8.7.1, cross-server matchmaking will not be available for Clan Battles on Wednesday, 4th September.

Meet destroyer IX Friesland—the newcomer to the European Tech Tree branch. In contrast to other destroyers, Friesland doesn’t carry any torpedo armament. However, this is completely compensated for by her rapid-firing artillery and a good choice of consumables.

• Four main battery guns with a very high rate of fire (their reload time is 1.8 seconds without upgrades mounted or Commander skills mastered), very good shell ballistics, comfortable aiming angles, and a fast main turret traverse speed.
  
• The AA defenses are additionally reinforced with the Defensive AA Fire consumable in a separate slot.
  
• The Smoke Generator consumable with features characteristic of American destroyers: her smoke screens will last longer than 2 minutes. The Hydroacoustic Search consumable, which comes in a separate slot, will allow you to assuredly detect enemy ships at a distance of 5 km, and enemy torpedoes—at 3.5 km.

IX Friesland can be obtained in the game for 1,000,000 Free XP.

Update 0.8.7.1 will give you a chance to exchange Coal for valuable rewards: credits, French Riviera camouflages, and special/economic signals.

The Legion of Honor section of the Armory will be complemented with random bundles that can be obtained in exchange for 3,000 Coal each.


Random bundles are an in-game exchange mechanic for obtaining items from the Armory. It functions in the following way:

• All the rewards are visible in advance: the bundles’ contents and their amounts are displayed when viewing the currently available bundle.
  
• After each exchange, one new random bundle opens out of 32 available.
  
• Having collected all the bundles, you're guaranteed to have obtained all the available rewards.

Please note that these random bundles will cease to be available with the release of Update 0.8.9.

• Fixed a bug that caused the disappearance of the image on the cargo ship banner in the Port.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the Summer Season patch not to be displayed.

In Update 0.8.7 we changed the AA mechanics in our game. One of these changes made it so that only ships with long-range AA capabilities can make use of aerial explosions. Because of this, the "AA Guns Modification 1" upgrade has become ineffective on certain ships that don’t have a long-range AA defense zone.

Therefore, players will be compensated in the amount of 250,000 credits for each ship in their port which both does not have a long-range AA zone, and has the "AA Guns Modification 1" upgrade installed.
