Captains,

We want to share extra special news today! It's now easier than ever to access World of Warships and continue your progression through the platform of your choice. With the release of Update 14.2, we're introducing a long-awaited feature: you can link your existing account to Steam and freely play using the platform, even if your account wasn't created through Steam!

When the integration with Steam was first implemented, such a thing wasn't possible; however, over the past few years, we've been working on updating the system to bring these changes to all Wargaming titles, and recent updates were a crucial part of the necessary preparations.

Thanks to extensive improvements to our account infrastructure, you can now seamlessly switch between Steam and the Wargaming Game Center (WGC) while keeping your in-game progress.

More details are available here.

Update 14.2 | New Mechanics, Experimental Ships, and Soviet Submarines!

Here’s an overview of the major highlights introduced in Update 14.2. Be sure to check out the detailed article on our website:

[h2]Experimental Ships[/h2]

Three new ships with unique mechanics are sailing out on our seas! Designed for bold Captains, these vessels bring high-risk, high-reward gameplay:

These experimental ships start each battle with reduced HP but can heal over time. Where it gets very interesting is that their main battery accuracy and rate of fire improve as their HP decreases. Will you choose the security of HP or the risky but satisfying firepower route?
Armed with a limited stock of AP shells with improved characteristics and Burst Fire mode.
They have no module upgrades, their economic earnings are similar to same-tier Tech Tree ships, and Commanders assigned to experimental ships do not require retraining.

You can unlock experimental ships by researching components with Credits and Action Reports from combat missions, and get a special mission chain that offers Coal as a reward.

These ships will be removed with Update 14.7, and commemorative rewards will be bestowed on players who successfully unlock all three.

[h2]Operations with Flagships & Classified Documents[/h2]

Operations with Flagships return with reworked mechanics, introducing varied flagship encounters and greater strategic diversity.

New mechanics have been integrated to enhance combat effectiveness in specific scenarios:

Equip one Classified Document in Operations with Flagships for survivability and damage boosts.
All Classified Documents have been added to player accounts automatically and can be selected before each battle, with a limited time for changes.

[h2]Soviet Submarines & Event Pass[/h2]

Comrades, the Red Fleet is growing mightier! The arrival of submarines S-1, L-20, and K-1 introduces a new Soviet playstyle:

Powerful, fast, and long-range unguided torpedoes, plus homing torpedoes with low damage, speed, and range.
Fast surface speed but limited dive capacity. They are also equipped with long-range Submarine Surveillance and Fast Damage Control Team.

Celebrate the Soviet expansion with the Soviet Navy Event Pass!

The first progression line features 5x Soviet Era containers, Commander Aleksey Statsenko, and a Soviet permanent camouflage for Tallinn.
Unlock the second progression line for 2,500 Doubloons to earn additional rewards, including Soviet permanent camouflages for Riga and Petropavlovsk, 10x Soviet Era containers, and cruiser Molotov. Captains who already own these items will be compensated in Credits.

[h2]Pirate-Themed Bounty Hunt[/h2]

Hoist the black flag and engage in thrilling Random Battles:

Play as a Hunter (Tier V–X ships) or Bounty (Tier VI–X battleships, cruisers, and destroyers) to earn Bounty Tokens for themed Commanders and permanent camouflages.
The Bounty status is available for free in the Armory and lasts 24 hours or until the main mission (sink 5 enemy ships) is completed.
Random bundles hold new ship Monmouth, with direct purchase options available until the release of Update 14.3.

[h2]Naval Monsters: Hull[/h2]

What happens when you put a heavy cruiser’s guns on the hull of a destroyer? That’s the same question the U.S. Navy asked itself back in the 70s before promptly slapping an experimental 203 mm gun onto the bow of a Forrest Sherman-class destroyer. Want to see how that experiment turned out? Take a look at the “character sheet” for the newest ship in the Research Bureau below!
