[h2]Brawls: 5 vs. 5; Tier X[/h2]


The stage is set for a brawl-filled weekend! We hope you like Tier X ships, because they are running the show this session in a 5 vs. 5 format.

If you have a handful of buddies on standby, we suggest lassoing them into a Division for maximum coordination and efficiency. Just remember the ship restrictions: No more than 1 aircraft carrier, 3 battleships, 4 cruisers, and 3 destroyers per team.

While in a perfect world, you wouldn't need to respawn at all—it's good to know the mechanic's got your back in Update 14.5's temporary battle type Unbreakable Line!

In Unbreakable Line, all destroyed ships respawn after a short delay, and teams fight for victory by earning points. This means that wiping out the enemy team entirely is not an available path to victory. Battles are fought in a 7 vs. 7 format with Tier IX–X destroyers, cruisers, and battleships.

[h2]New Perspectives on YouTube[/h2]


This week saw the premiere of some new videos at the official World of Warships YouTube channel that we think you'll appreciate!

The first paints the historical background behind one of the stars of Update 14.5: USS Johnston and her battle-damage form GQ Johnny.

The second one focuses on the gameplay of the new American heavy cruiser Cambridge. See how she plays and decide for yourself if you'd like to add her to your fleet:

[h2]Clan Battles Season 30 "Man o' War"[/h2]


This week saw the start of a very special Clan Battles season that features the Classified Documents mechanic.

During the pre-battle countdown and 60 seconds after it, you'll be able to choose up to two Classified Documents granting attack and defense bonuses against specific ships on the opposing team. Ships deemed powerful in their own right for the Clan Battles environment will be balanced out by having fewer Classified Documents available per battle (either just one or none at all).

Format:

• 7v7; Tier X ships
  
• Only battleships, cruisers, and destroyers allowed; no more than 1 battleship per team
  
• Louisiana, Komissar, and Hildebrand cannot be taken into battle

This is a short overview of the planned features for Update 14.6. For more information, visit the relevant link:

EU NA ASIA

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.

Hey, Captains!

With Update 14.5 in full swing, it's now time to cast our eyes forward and take a sneak peek at the fun new features Update 14.6 will be delivering in just a few short weeks!

Here's a quick breakdown of some of the most notable new additions:

• New U.S. destroyers: Ships of the new branch are great gunslingers and have a unique new feature—a Smoke Generator that can be toggled on or off!
  
• Graphical improvements: Enabling the WG Temporal Super Sampling setting in your game client will deliver sharper visuals and smoother edges without significantly impacting performance.
  
• Rarity system: It'll soon be a lot more intuitive to understand just how unique in-game content is thanks to a new system of visual rarity for ships, camos, and beyond. This improvement goes hand-in-hand with a standardized pricing model for direct sales based on this system.
  
• Container Barge improvements: This package of changes aims to improve your experience on the container-opening screen, with the introduction of an animation skip, better container content breakdowns, more flexible options for bulk opening, and an integrated guaranteed drop counter!
