World of Warships News

Don't miss this perfect opportunity to replenish your Clan's Treasury and clash for Coal, Steel, and other rewards.




In contrast to Clan Battles, Clan Brawls take place throughout the course of a single day, with only victories being counted.

• Clan Brawl 4: October 5—for Tier X ships

• ASIA 13:00 — 18:00 CEST
  
• CIS 17:00 — 22:00 CEST
  
• EU 18:00 — 23:00 CEST
  
• NA 01:00 — 06:00 CEST

Please note: you won't be able to change the prime time once it has been selected! Unlike in Clan Battles, a Clan's place in the Brawl Rating is determined within the region of the selected prime time.

• Any Clan can participate in a Clan Brawl.
  
• Battles are held in a 3 vs. 3 format.
  
• Battle duration: 15 minutes.
  
• There is a limit of one destroyer, one cruiser, and one battleship per team.
  
• Any number of teams from a single Clan can fight in a Brawl if the composition of the teams meets the listed conditions.
  
• Only victories are counted for the Rating.
  
• Since only victories are counted and defeats aren't taken into account, there’s no option to select Alpha or Bravo Ratings in the Clan Brawl.
  
• Victories earned in the Clan Brawl aren’t counted towards the requirements to obtain Clan Battle emblems.
  
• If two teams share the same number of victories, the higher position in the Rating will be given to the Clan that first gained their last victory.

• Victory: 2,500 base XP and 300,000 credits (without modifiers applied).
  
• Defeat: 250 base XP and 150,000 credits (without modifiers applied).
  
• Draw: both teams earn an amount of XP and credits equal to that received for a lost battle.

To prevent unsporting conduct in Clan Battles, if a battle lasts less than 4.5 minutes, neither team receives experience nor credits for that battle. In the Clan Brawls of Update 0.8.8, this restriction will be set to 3 minutes.

• In the Clan Brawl of September 21, players will be able to receive up to 2,500,000 credits; 100,000 Elite Commander XP; and 3,500 Coal!
  
• In the Clan Brawl of October 5, players will be able to receive up to 2,500,000 credits; 3,500 Coal; and 350 Steel!

* Each subsequent position between 5–50 brings 250 Coal less.


Clans which rank in the Top 1,000; Top 100; Top 10; or are named the Champion Clan in the selected prime time will be awarded special achievements. In such cases, all Clan members who have played at least one battle during the Clan Brawl will be awarded these achievements.


Battles of the third and fourth Clan Brawls will be held on maps of a reduced size. This will add greater dynamics to battles in their particular formats, where teams have a small number of players.

Both Clan Brawls will take place on the following maps: Hotspot, Mountain Range, Shatter, and Warrior's Path—Domination mode; and Two Brothers—Epicenter mode.

We wish you the best of luck in the Clan Brawls! See you in battle!

This time, we have an action-packed season of a short duration, with Ranked Battles unfolding in Domination mode on Tier VIII ships. If you missed the previous seasons of Ranked Sprint and want to know more about it, our article is designed to answer your questions.




What makes a Ranked Sprint different from regular seasons of Ranked Battles? An easier competition format and reduced duration. The Sprint lasts for 10 days only, and contains fewer ranks—half of them being irrevocable. It also takes fewer Stars to climb to the top ranks. Participation in the Ranked Sprint brings a lavish amount of signal flags; 500,000 credits—and 10,000 Coal for the Armory as a reward for attaining Rank 1.
Starts: Wed. 02 Oct. 11:00 CEST (UTC+2) Ends: Mon. 14 Oct. 10:30 CEST (UTC+2)

• All players with access to Ranked Battles in their Service Record are eligible for participation in Ranked Sprints. Beginners in World of Warships will have to play 130 battles in any of the available modes in order to gain access to them.
  
• Only Tier VIII ships are allowed.
  
• Battles are fought in a 7 vs. 7 format. Team lineups are mirrored in terms of ship types.
  
• Only one aircraft carrier per team is allowed.
  
• By winning battles, players earn the Stars needed to climb the ranking ladder. For the majority of ranks, a defeat means a lost Star.
  
• The player with the most base XP in a team doesn't lose a Star upon their team’s defeat.
  
• The number of ranks is 10, which is less than in a regular season.
  
• All players start battles at Rank 10.
  
• Players receive a bonus star for each new rank attained.
  
• Ranks 10, 9, 8, 5, and 3 are irrevocable. Players can't lose stars at Ranks 10 or 9.
  
• This season, all ranks are combined into a single league.
  
• Ranked Sprint achievements aren’t inherited from previous Ranked Battle seasons, and aren’t transferred to those that follow.
  
• Stars earned in Ranked Sprints are not counted as the Stars required to be awarded Ranked Battle emblems.

• Divisions are allowed in Ranked Sprints.
  
• The maximum number of players in a Division is two.
  
• A Division can enter battle only if the opposing team also has a Division.
  
• Each team can have a maximum of three Divisions.

• Rank 1 is the highest achievable rank.
  
• Players who attain Rank 1 can no longer participate in further battles of the current season.

Battles will be fought in Domination mode on the following maps: Greece, Hotspot, Sea of Fortune, and Shards—Domination mode.





See you on the high seas, Captains!

World of Warships is the largest virtual shipyard in the world.

The quality of the work done by our artists improves each year, and the requirements for the accuracy of the models they create grow respectively. Unfortunately, the in-game camera doesn't allow you to see all the details and beauty. In the Dry Dock show, you'll be able to see the refined beauty of our in-game models and duly appreciate the immaculate details of the various objects on their decks.

Today, we're focusing on a Tier X ship from the branch of German battleships. Großer Kurfürst is a hypothetical project of a Kriegsmarine battleship, and one of the possible development variants of the Project H battleships that were designed in 1941. Take a look at the German battleship from an unusual angle in the latest episode of Dry Dock!

Today, we're focusing on a Premium Tier VIII ship from the American aircraft carrier branch, a Yorktown-class strike aircraft carrier—Enterprise. This is the most decorated American ship of World War II, and not without cause—she took part in the majority of battles against the Japanese fleet in the Pacific Ocean. Take a look at the legendary ship from an unusual angle in the latest episode of Dry Dock!
