[h2]Battle Performance Bonuses[/h2]
Ships of Tier V and above feature battle performance bonuses—traditional Snowflakes. During Updates 0.9.12 and 0.10.0, winning the first victory or earning 300 base XP playing ships in all types of battles, except Training Battles, will bring you the corresponding rewards:

Tier V–VII ships: 400—750 Coal
Tier VIII–IX ships: 75 Steel
Tier X ship: Santa's Gift container

[h2]Kure Dockyard[/h2]
In Update 0.9.12, players will be able to start building a new Japanese Tier IX battleship, IX Hizen, at the Dockyard. By completing the Dockyard combat missions, you can complete 22 out of 26 shipbuilding phases. Completing each phase will bring you valuable rewards, including destroyer II Tachibana and cruiser V Yahagi for the fifth and 15th phases respectively. Both ships come with the Winter permanent camouflages and Commanders with 6 skill points for these ships.

Completing the 20th shipbuilding phase will reward you with the New Year permanent camouflage that can be mounted on most Tier IX ships. Among the other rewards, you'll find Santa's containers:

Santa's Gift for the third phase
Santa's Big Gift for the 10th and 22th phases
Santa's Mega Gift for the 24nd phase

If you want to complete shipbuilding phases at a discount, two Starter Packs are available to purchase:

Ten shipbuilding phases for 9,950 doubloons
Four shipbuilding phases for 5,000 doubloons

Completing the ship's construction requires you to progress through at least four phases by spending doubloons. By doing so, you'll obtain IX Hizen with the War Paint permanent camouflage, a Port slot, 10-skill-point Commander, and commemorative flag.

The Starter Packs will only be available to purchase prior to the point in time when you complete four shipbuilding phases by finishing combat missions. Once you've purchased both Starter Packs or completed four shipbuilding phases by finishing combat missions, you'll be able to purchase further phases individually for 1,950 doubloons each.

[h2]Rewards for the Campaigns[/h2]
Take part in two new temporary campaigns during Update 0.9.12, and you'll receive numerous rewards, including French battleship VII Strasbourg!

The first mission of this campaign is already available, and those that follow will be unlocked each week. Completing the first three missions will reward you with special New Year Commanders with 6 skill points. Completing the final, fourth mission will bring you VII Strasbourg with a Port slot and the Winter Holiday camouflage.

[h2]Ships and Fates[/h2]
Obtaining battleship Strasbourg will enable you to complete the missions of the Ships and Fates campaign, which are already available to you. Completing six missions will bring you ships with permanent camouflages, Commanders with 6 skill points, and Santa's Gift containers.
