Work in Progress: Update 15.2



This is a short overview of the planned features for Update 15.2. For more information, visit this link:

IMPORTANT! Because the update is still being tested, the information in this article is tentative and reflects the state of game development at the time of its publication. Some changes and new features may be removed entirely or implemented differently by the time the update goes live.

Captains!

Update 15.2 brings some exciting new features into play—here's a brief rundown:

  • Aircraft carrier changes: Three key changes will affect gameplay surrounding aircraft carriers. The Patrol Fighters consumable can now be remotely deployed using the Tactical Map when controlling a squadron; aircraft carriers now have the option to take full manual control of the Damage Control Party and shipborne Fighters consumables; and the new Evasive Maneuvers consumable replaces the Repair consumable previously available on some aircraft squadrons, keeping similar functionality of increasing survivability while making its use more logical and visually distinct.



  • The return of "In the Name of Tomorrow" Operations: Arctic Convoy, Tokyo Express, and Pacific Offensive—first seen in last year's "In the Name of Tomorrow" event—will now be permanently available in the standard Operations rotation.



  • New UI customization options: Two new UI indicators have made it into the Settings menu—the increased detectability timer displays how long your ship will have an increased detectability range after firing its main guns, and the time-to-victory counter displays the estimated time until each team would achieve victory based on the current scoring rate from Key Area control. Moreover, a new section of the Settings menu will combine HUD and camera parameters and offer deeper options for customizing various interface elements.

The latest game update immerses you in the culture and mythology of East Asia in celebration of the Lunar New Year. Take part in the festivities and events we've prepared for you, and be sure to also power into the new Unbreakable Front battle type and take full advantage of its respawn mechanics.

[h2]Nian Paradox: Choose Your Side![/h2]


Choose a side, fight battles, and unlock Premium and special ships for free while following our story about the mighty Nian Beast and the forces vying to control her.

You'll find the event by clicking through a banner in the Port. There are two coalitions—Defenders of Order and Adherents of Chaos—each with several progression lines offering distinct rewards.



Every line offers a Commander with an individual voiceover as its initial reward. Depending on its difficulty, each line also offers two to four themed Tier V–X Premium and special ships based on existing designs.

To progress through party lines, you'll need Lunar Tokens, obtainable by completing combat missions or opening free daily random bundles. You even already have some accumulated if you got involved in the Update 15.0 Leaderboard events!

[h3]Respawn Into Unbreakable Front[/h3]


A new temporary battle type is now live in the game, and it features mechanics that will be familiar for those who took on last year's Unbreakable Line battle type.

Here's what has changed since then:
  • You can now select a respawn sector after being sunk.
  • You will respawn within the map borders, enabling quicker redeployment.
  • In addition to Key Areas, each map now has capturable team bases.
  • You can choose one event consumable before each battle in Port, and there are two consumables for each ship type.
