Clan Battles Season: Crash Zone Alpha

On October 23, the seventh Clan Battles Season starts, offering a great opportunity to obtain Steel and other valuable rewards.

This publication will tell you about the main rules and rewards of the Season. We'll also tell you what Clans are, why it’s a great idea to join one, and what in-game bonuses they can provide.

Clans
What’s a Clan, and why should I join one?

A Clan is a community of players who want to play together. Having joined a Clan, you'll be entitled to regular economic bonuses, and you'll always have a team of players willing to fight in a Division, complete Operations, or take part in Clan Battles with you.

You can either apply to join an existing Clan, or establish your own in the special Clan section in the Port.



Under the Recommendations tab, you can indicate your personal playing preferences and preferred language for communication. The game will present you with a list of Clans that meet the specified criteria.
    Please note: to join a Clan and participate in Clan Battles, players need to unlock them in their Service Records. Doing so requires 200 battles to have been played in any accessible battle mode.
Naval Base

The Naval Base acts as the virtual territory of a Clan in the Port. Here, the Clan's leaders can build various structures that provide bonuses for all Clan members. The details of the bonus itself depend on the type and level of the structure. To build structures, Clans require a special resource—Oil. This can be earned by participating in various Clan activities or obtained from most types of in-game containers.



Naval Base structures can provide the following bonuses:
  • Discount on the cost of researchable ships—up to 15%
  • Reduction of the cost of all ships' post-battle service—up to 15%
  • Increase in the amount of XP gained per battle—up to 5%
  • Increase in the amount of Commander XP gained per battle—up to 10%
  • Increase in the amount of Free XP gained per battle—up to 25%
  • Increase in the amount of Coal gained—up to 10%
  • Increase in the amount of Steel gained—up to 10%

Example: the Coal Port structure at Level 3 increases the amount of Coal the Clan obtains. Thus, opening a daily container with 400 Coal would actually mean 440 Coal is dropped with this structure built.

Clan Treasury

The Clan Treasury is a place where the Clan's in-game resources are stored. Members can replenish these resources by participating in various Clan activities.

Clan leaders can distribute accumulated resources among participants at their own discretion. For active participation in the Clan's activities, you can get a bonus in the form of Steel or Coal.

Clan Battles

Clan Battles are a specific battle type with their own rules, where Clans fight one another. Unlike Random Battles, it's not only the result of an individual battle that’s important here, but also general progress. By winning battles, your Clan progresses and can earn more valuable rewards and Steel, the latter of which can be exchanged for unique ships in the Armory— X Bourgogne, X Stalingrad, X Somers, IX Neustrashimy, VII Flint, and IX Black. Steel is also a useful substitute when you don't have enough Coal to obtain any in-game items.
    Save Steel with a 25% discount on ships in the Armory.
Special features of Clan Battles

You can take part in Clan Battles only as part of a Clan Division, and on ships of a designated tier. For example, the seventh Season will be played on Tier X ships.

But what should you do if you want to participate in Clan Battles, but don’t have a Tier X ship or perhaps want to try out a new ship type? Well, you can rent a Tier X Clan ship! All you need to do is fight one battle playing a Tier VIII–X ship in a Co-op, Random, or Clan Battle.

    Clan Battles are available during prime times only: every Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday at the scheduled times.

Remember that you’re part of a team—in Clan Battles, it’s the result of the battle that’s important, not your individual achievements. All participants receive the same amount of XP and credits, with the amount of each depending on the outcome of the battle.
  • Victory: 2,500 base XP and 300,000 credits (without modifiers applied)
  • Defeat or draw: 250 base XP and 150,000 credits (without modifiers applied)

All Clan Battles are divided into 5 leagues: Squall, Gale, Storm, Typhoon, and Hurricane. The more often your Clan is victorious in battles, the higher your Rating and more illustrious the league you’re placed in is. By climbing up the Rating table, you'll receive greater rewards, but you'll also face way more dangerous rivals.

Players can earn Steel by winning battles in the various leagues. The maximum available amount of Steel depends on each specific season, and usually amounts to 11,000 Steel. But even if you don't make it to the Hurricane League, you'll still obtain valuable rewards on your journey. For instance, victories in the Squall League during the seventh Season can reward you with up to 2,000 Steel.

Clan Brawls

Do you need to replenish your stocks of Steel and Coal quickly, but don't want to participate in a long Clan Battles season? Then we have a new format of Clan Battles just for you—it’s called Clan Brawl.

Differences in comparison to Clan Battles seasons
  • Battles are held during the course of a single day
  • The final Rating position of the Clan depends only on their number of victories
  • There are no leagues
    Clan Brawls offer a great opportunity to earn credits, Coal, Steel, and other valuable resources within just one evening of playing in a team with your Clanmates.
Rules of the Seventh Season

During Update 0.8.9, the seventh Season of Clan Battles—Crash Zone Alpha—is set to take place.



Changes to the rules
  • Teams of eight players are invited to fight in Clan Battles
  • All Tier X ships are eligible, except for aircraft carriers
  • Due to the increase in the number of players in battle, each team can bring up to two battleships to the fight

From October 23 until November 6, all players who participate in at least one Clan Battle will be able to redistribute the skill points of their Commanders for free. Get yourselves ready for Clan Battles!

Armada: Błyskawica

Destroyer Błyskawica was one of the most powerful and fastest ships of her type built in the 1930s.

She took part in the battle for Norway and the landings in Normandy, defended British cities from the raids of German bombers, and hunted for submarines. After World War II, the ship remained in service in the Navy of the Polish People’s Republic until 1976, becoming a museum ship afterwards. Błyskawica is the world's oldest surviving destroyer. Now you have a chance to take command of her in World of Warships!
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
History

In the early 1930s, the small Polish Navy was in great need of new modern warships. In May 1933, Rear Admiral Jerzy Świrski, the Commander of the Polish Navy, announced a tender for the construction of two new destroyers. It was originally planned that French shipbuilders, who had already built two Wicher-class destroyers for the Polish Navy (based on the design of the Bourrasque-class ships), would do the job. However, negotiations with all the French shipyards failed. In early 1934, the order was offered to Swedish shipbuilders, but they rejected it as well. Finally, in 1935, the Poles chose the British project proposed by the famous J. Samuel White company. In September of the same year, the construction of two ships began at the shipyards in Cowes in the south of England. The ships received their names in accordance with the traditions for Polish Navy destroyers—in honor of weather phenomena: Grom (Polish for "thunder") and Błyskawica (Polish for "lightning").

The new class of destroyers turned out to be extremely powerful. Błyskawica, which entered service on November 25, 1937, was armed with seven 120 mm main battery guns (more than some World War I cruisers), two twin 40 mm AA guns, four twin machine gun mounts, two triple torpedo tubes, and a large reserve of depth charges. Most of the weapons were made in Sweden. On top of the aforementioned features, the new Polish ship reached speeds of up to 39 knots during her trials, beating other similarly armed destroyers of that period, such as the British Tribal-class destroyers. This was achieved at the price of reduced seakeeping characteristics, but they were still considered sufficient for the Baltic Sea.

Just prior to the outbreak of World War II, Błyskawica, Grom, and an older French-built destroyer, Burza, were transferred from the Baltic to the U.K. Błyskawica joined the British Navy as an Allied ship, taking part in battles under the Polish flag.

The destroyer debuted in combat just a week after the war began—on September 7, 1939. Błyskawica attacked a German submarine, but without success. However, the real action for the Polish sailors began in April and May 1940, when their ship took part in the Norwegian campaign. Błyskawica bombarded German positions, managed to shoot down two aircraft, and returned to the U.K. safe and sound. Grom wasn't so lucky—she was destroyed during a German bomber raid.

Right afterwards, Błyskawica participated in the evacuation of British troops from Dunkirk during Operation Dynamo, and then she was mainly engaged in escorting convoys and hunting German U-boats in the Atlantic. Błyskawica accompanied the liner, Queen Mary, which had been converted into a military transport ship. Most British destroyers found it difficult to keep up with the world's fastest liner, which was capable of maintaining an average speed of 28.5 knots while crossing the Atlantic. It didn’t pose a problem for the Polish "Lightning."

From June to November 1941, the destroyer underwent an overhaul and repairs, which included refurbishment at her native shipyard in Cowes. During this, her Swedish 120 mm guns were replaced with eight British 102 mm dual-purpose guns in four twin mounts. In April 1942, a storm damaged the ship's propulsion unit, which put Błyskawica out of action until mid-July. On the night that bridged May 4 and 5, 1942, 160 German bombers attacked Cowes. During the raid, Błyskawica supported the Allies with fire from her AA guns, while her crew actively participated in firefighting and rescuing the injured. In 2004, a town square in Cowes was named Francki Place, in honor of Błyskawica's Commander, komandor porucznik Wojciech Francki.

In 1944, Błyskawica, as part of the 10th Destroyer Flotilla, along with British and Canadian destroyers, took part in Operation Overlord, supporting the landings of the Allied forces in Normandy. On June 9, in the English Channel, eight Allied destroyers discovered and attacked a detachment of three German destroyers and one torpedo boat. The battle at Ushant was the only engagement involving surface warships in which destroyer Błyskawica took part. At the same time, it was the last action of large German ships in the west and the final major naval battle in the European theater. This battle marked a decisive victory for the Allies—the Germans lost two of the four ships, and were unable to complete their missions.

In May 1946, flags were taken down on Polish ships and their crews were demobilized. The ships were formally transferred to the British Navy reserve, but Royal Navy flags were never raised on them. Between 1951 and 1952, the ship underwent another overhaul. This time, the British artillery was replaced with Soviet 100 mm B-24 guns.

In 1956, the ship reached an incredible 33 knots on measured distance, but recurrent technical challenges with her propulsion, as well as radio and electronic equipment, were indicative of a need for more repairs. The ship underwent overhauls in 1957–1961 and 1965–1966, but in 1967, a serious propulsion unit accident occurred, killing several crew members. Since the restoration of the ship would have required replacing all her steam pipelines, it was decided that her further operation was inexpedient. She was converted into a coastal AA defense ship, and in 1976, was permanently berthed in Gdynia as a museum ship. In 1987, the Polish Navy veteran ship was awarded the Golden Cross of the Virtuti Militari Order—the country's highest military award. Before her, not a single ship under the Polish flag had received such an honor. In 2006, Błyskawica was "twinned" with her long-time comrade-in-arms, Canadian destroyer Haida, which is also preserved as a museum ship in Hamilton.


Modeling the ship

In the game, the ship is featured in her state as of 1939, when World War II began.

Main battery: Seven 120 mm/50 Bofors guns in three twin and one single turrets.

Torpedo armament: Two triple 533 mm torpedo tubes.

Anti-aircraft armament: Two twin 40 mm Bofors AA gun mounts and four twin machine gun mounts with 13.2 mm Hotchkiss machine guns.

  • Steering Gears Modification 2


Błyskawica in battle

One of the strongest destroyers of her time. Polish Navy ship VII Błyskawica stands for first-class mobility, top-notch artillery guns, and effective torpedoes. A true gift for those who value diversity in their choice of tactics.
  • Excellent speed of 39 knots
  • Nice HP pool for a destroyer
  • Seven rapid-firing 120 mm guns with a good reach and comfortable ballistics
  • Effective torpedoes with a range of 8 km and a fast reload time—within 70 seconds
  • She earns extra credits per battle, and her permanent camouflage provides 50% more XP and reduces the cost of the ship's post-battle service by –10%

Halloween: Nightmare Operations

In the dark night that bridges October 31 and November 1, hordes of dismal evil creatures squeeze out of their shelters and creep all around the earth, set on conquering new lands!

But don’t be afraid—World of Warships Commanders are out on the hunt for them in the name of glorious tradition. Last year's Operations and a new game mode are coming soon!

This year, we are celebrating Halloween in two phases:
  • The first takes place throughout Update 0.8.9. It will mark the return of the Saving Transylvania and Sunray in the Darkness Operations.
  • The second takes place between October 31 and November 28. You'll be able to try out a new game mode—Raid for the Filth!

From this article, you'll learn about what changes to expect in comparison with last year's Operations and new rewards. We'll provide you more details about the new mode in a separate dedicated article. Stay tuned for news on our website!
    Both Operations will be available as Operations of the Week. They can be completed in a Division at three different difficulty levels.

Having completed the Operations, you'll be rewarded with expendable camos, signals, and Warships Premium Account time.

This year, you'll be able to try your hand in the Operations in a Division, not only at the Normal and Hard difficulty settings, but also at Super Hard difficulty. The first completion of a Super Hard Operation with three stars or more will bring you Halloween 2018 Premium containers. These might include expendable camos, doubloons, Free XP, and a certain chance of dropping permanent Halloween camos from the previous years.

Saving Transylvania ● Sunray in the Darkness ● Halloween Containers


Saving Transylvania

Operation Saving Transylvania is available at Normal difficulty as an Operation of the Week from October 17 to 24, and from October 31 to November 7. Also, the Operation can be completed in a Division of 4–7 people throughout Update 0.8.9.

The main task is to escort a ship called Transylvania on her winding route to a safe place, protecting her from the attacks of catapults and Zikasa ships possessed by the darkness on the way. At the end of this journey, players will face the final boss—the evil and dangerous battleship Rasputin.



In order to play Operation Saving Transylvania, players will be provided with the following ships manned by Commanders with 19 skill points:
  • Destroyer III Blade with Commander Abraham V. Hellsinger
  • Cruiser III Igor with Commander Victor F. Einstein
  • Battleship III Jackal with Commander Henry J. Hide
    Halloween Commanders earn Elite XP that can be spent on training Commanders.
Primary task

Escort and protect ship Transylvania.



Secondary tasks

Apart from the main task—escorting Transylvania to the Portal—players can complete five secondary tasks which will enhance their reward for completing the primary task:
  • Transylvania must not lose 50% or more of her HP during the voyage.
  • Destroy at least 16 Zikasa ships.
  • Neutralize all catapults on the map.
  • Transylvania must not stop until reaching the end of the route. To ensure that this condition is completed, at least one player should always remain near the ship.
  • Sink battleship Rasputin.

Sunray in the Darkness

The Sunray in the Darkness Operation is available as an Operation of the Week from October 24 to 31, and from November 7 to 14. Also, the Operation can be completed in a Division of 4–7 people throughout Update 0.8.9.

Operation Sunray in the Darkness acts as a kind of sequel to Operation Saving Transylvania. When Transylvania and her defenders return to their home realm, they face an even bigger evil. Now, the entire kingdom is at risk! The most advanced ships of the royal fleet are awaiting your orders to put a stop to the invasion and save the civilians!

The Forces of Darkness are breaking through the Portal. Your mission is to fend off their attacks, but you won't be alone. The security towers will try to seal the Portal, and your mission is to protect the towers from enemy ships. Along with the monsters flooding through it, the Filth—a dense green mist—is leaking through the Portal and endangering all life itself. Beware! When in the Filth, your ship receives damage each second. The amount of damage you receive depends on the type of your ship. Besides this, visibility decreases significantly when in the Filth. Adversely, the Filth heals your enemies, restoring their hit points, and reduces the amount of damage they receive. Keep in mind that your main task is to protect the towers while they are sealing the Portal.



In order to play Operation Sunray in the Darkness, players will get the following ships manned by Commanders with 19 skill points:
  • Destroyer VIII Urashima with Commander Mina Hurray
  • Cruiser VIII Svyatozar with Commander Ivan K. Ulibin
  • Battleship VIII Magnu-S with Commander Klaus V. Teslau


Primary task

Protect the towers until they seal the Portal.

Players can also complete five secondary tasks which will enhance their reward for completing the primary task:
  • Successfully defend at least two towers.
  • Destroy Rasputin.
  • Destroy the Great Gorgon.
  • Destroy 30 enemy ships in the Filth.
  • Successfully defend Transylvania.
