Captains! 

A new Commander will soon be making waves in World of Warships! She is big on costumes, so she’ll be dressing up to take command of Japanese, Pan-Asian, and American ships wearing one of three different styles that YOU can vote for! But more on that in a bit. 

First, a little bit about her personality:

 
At the moment our new Commander is on a quest to find the perfect outfit to suit her future naval duties. Be a tiebreaker and help her choose which one matches each nation best! 

And if you have any suggestions for her name should be, kindly submit it on the voting page! We will pick the most suitable name, and the player who creates it will be granted with all three Commanders after their implementation to the game. 



In one of the future updates we will implement these Commanders into the game wearing the most-voted appearance she will be representing.

Asymmetric Battles will return in Update 12.5. This battle type is inspired by historical battles that typically involved an unequal number of ships on each side.

In this new installment of Asymmetric Battles, players will face a team of bots that outnumbers them in ships but falls short in terms of firepower.
