Developer Bulletin for Update 0.11.3
    IMPORTANT! Because the update is still being tested, the information in this bulletin 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. Screenshots, specific values of certain characteristics, and details of in-game mechanics will not necessarily be relevant after the update is released.


    Please note: The rewards for activities on the Public Test Server may differ from those on the Live Server.

[h2]
Superships in the Tech Tree
[/h2]
In Update 0.11.3, superships will be added to the Tech Tree. After several months of testing in various game modes, they are going to become a logical continuation of their branches and will be available to the following players:
  • Those who have researched or purchased at least three Tier X ships.
  • Those who have researched a Tier X ship of the corresponding branch.

In Update 0.11.3, the ships you're already familiar with— Satsuma, Hannover, Condé, Annapolis, Yamagiri, Zorkiy, United States, and Eagle—will be added to the Tech Tree.
    If the Research Bureau is available to you and you purchased a supership, she will not be reset and will remain in your Port after you reset a branch of researchable ships,


    Adding superships to the Tech Tree is an important step for our game. We'll keep a close eye on how they perform, as well as your feedback, and make changes if necessary. We want these ships to be an exciting new set of playstyles and gameplay experiences.

Continuation of Early Access to Italian destroyers
[/h2]
Early Access to Italian destroyers continues in Update 0.11.3. An additional component of the event dedicated to Early Access is a new collection that reveals details of the artillery armament of Regia Marina destroyers and awards of Italian sailors.

The collection consists of three pages, with six elements on each. Elements of the collection can be obtained from the event containers.

The reward for completing each of the sections is the ability to mount a second commemorative flag aboard Italian destroyers, cruisers, and battleships.

The rewards for completing the entire collection are VI Leone and a commemorative flag.

[h2]
Dockyard
[/h2]
The building of Pan-American battleship VIII Atlântico commences in Update 0.11.3. She will leave the famous British Clydebank Dockyard that saw IX Marlborough sail out in the past. Atlântico carries ten 381 mm guns in 5 twin turrets with only one shell type—AP shells.

[h2]Event Rules[/h2]
  • The construction process at the Dockyard comprises 22 phases.
  • These shipbuilding phases can be progressed through by completing Dockyard combat mission groups or by spending 1,750 Doubloons to pass through each phase.
  • The combat mission groups span two updates—0.11.3 and 0.11.4—and the Dockyard itself will remain in your Ports until the start of Update 0.11.5.
  • In total, you can progress through 19 out of 22 shipbuilding phases by completing Dockyard combat missions.
    Please note: New battleship VIII Atlântico will not be available on the Public Test server.

Visual Improvements and Changes
[/h2]
Our work on the visual component of the game is ongoing, and you can expect new graphical improvements and changes in Update 0.11.3.

[h2]New Effects[/h2]
We've improved how snow and sand are displayed on islands. We've also added the effect of snow covering ships, depending on the weather.

[expand] [/expand]
[h2]HD textures on maps[/h2]
We're continuing to update all the maps to accommodate enhanced HD textures. In Update 0.11.3, high-detail textures will be added on the Tears of the Desert, Trap, Warrior’s Path, and Solomon Islands maps.

In future updates, we'll keep working on texture details on other maps and Ports.
[expand] [/expand]
[h2]Aircraft camouflages[/h2]
The camouflage mounted on the ship will also be displayed on aircraft that belong to that ship. This effect applies to all aircraft types in the game, including aircraft carrier squadrons and fighters, spotting aircraft, and airstrike flights.

[h2]Underwater world improvements[/h2]
The improved visuals have made the ships and underwater landscape look more natural and picturesque. We've also improved how distant underwater objects are drawn in the Binocular View.
