Italian Battleships: Part 1[/h2]
Update 0.10.1 kicks off an event that places the new Italian Tier IV–IX battleships right in the spotlight!
[h2]Features of the Ship Branch[/h2]
- Semi-armor-piercing shells instead of HE shells. These shells deal significant damage to weakly and moderately protected targets and ship parts, but do not cause fires.
- A large number of guns but with relatively short firing ranges and not the greatest accuracy.
- Decent maneuverability and armor protection.
- Tier VIII–X ships have the Exhaust Smoke Generator consumable, which allows them to hide from the enemy without having to reduce their speed. Shooting from within the smoke screen isn't recommended while retreating, because battleships still have high detectability when using their main battery guns in this situation.
[h2]Early Access[/h2]
Combat mission group rewards: a new temporary resource—Italian Tokens, Roman permanent camouflage for
VI Andrea Doria, and special signals. Final reward for completing the last combat mission group: VII Francesco Caracciolo, a Commander with six skill points, and a Port slot.
Italian Tokens can also be obtained by completing special chains of combat missions
; from random bundles available for Doubloons, free random bundles, and bundles that are available in exchange for Recruitment Points in the Armory; and by completing combat missions that can be activated by watching official World of Warships streams.
Rewards for Italian Tokens: sequentially opened bundles with
IV Dante Alighieri,
V Conte di Cavour,
VI Andrea Doria,
VIII Vittorio Veneto; the Roman permanent camouflage for
VII Francesco Caracciolo; Legion permanent camouflages for
VIII Vittorio Veneto,
IX Lepanto, and
X Cristoforo Colombo; and other rewards.
The number of Tokens that can be earned by completing combat mission groups will be enough to obtain Italian Tier IV–VI battleships and the Roman permanent camouflage for the Tier VII battleship.
Rewards from random bundles available for Doubloons: IX Lepanto plus a Commander with 10 skill points and a Port slot, Italian Tokens, Regia Marina expendable camouflages, and other rewards.
[h2]Free Bundles[/h2]
The Armory is offering free random bundles—Daily Gifts. Inside, you can find Italian Tokens, Warships Premium Account, Doubloons, and other rewards.
The bundles are available until: Mon. 08 Mar. 07:00 CET (UTC+1)
You can obtain only one bundle per day. A total of 12 bundles will be available, so you can skip 6 days and still be able to collect all the rewards.
The Taranto Port has been updated.

Clan Battles: Greece[/h2]
Starts: Wed. 24 Feb. 12:30 CET (UTC+1)
Ends: Mon. 12 Apr. 04:30 CET (UTC+1)[h3]
Format[/h3]
Tier IX ships in a 7 vs. 7 format.
[h3]
Restrictions[/h3]
Up to two battleships per team.
[h3]
Rewards[/h3]
Up to
11,000 Steel and other rewards.
No more than two mercenaries per Division.
The new season has a small, but very important change—we've added a system that allows ship limits to be set. We're working on making sure that each battle and game mode offers diverse and interesting gameplay. This change allows us to make the team compositions more varied and the battles more diverse.
The restrictions can be set for the entire duration of a season or for specific periods of time. For example, they could be set after the first 2 weeks of a season, then replaced with different restrictions a few weeks later. This allows us to promptly react to the current state of the season.
[h3]
Possible restrictions[/h3]
- Limit on the number of the same ships. For instance, a Division will not be able to join a battle if two or more of the same ships are selected.
- Limit on the number of specific ships. For example, a Division can have only one
IX Ibuki, 
IX Yūgumo, and 
IX Black.
- Restriction that makes certain ships ineligible for battle. For example, one cannot join the battle playing
IX Kronshtadt or IX Kitakaze.
Restrictions on the number of certain ships and banned ships are displayed in the Division window and in the tooltip in the window above the ship carousel when the "Clan Battle" battle type is selected.
Full details of the season will be revealed in a dedicated article nearer the start of the season.
[h2]
Ranked Battles: The Second Season[/h2]
The Second Season of Ranked Battles kicks off together with Update 0.10.1. Its structure is different from that of the First (test) season. In terms of the available rewards, you can expect Steel, Doubloons, camouflages, and much more!

- The Sprint rewards have also doubled on average.

[h2]Rules of the Second Season[/h2]
More details about Ranked Battles Season 2 can be found in a
dedicated article.
[h2]
Updated Brawls[/h2]
For Update 0.10.1, we've updated Brawls and made them a separate battle type, the seasons of which are short and have a smaller team format. One can take part either in a Division or solo. It is possible to participate in Brawls without being in a Clan.
In Update 0.10.1, the first season of updated Brawls will take place in the following format:
Starts: Mon. 08 Mar. 09:00 CET (UTC+1)
Ends: Mon. 15 Mar. 02:00 CET (UTC+1)[h3]
Format[/h3]
Tier VIII ships in a 1 vs. 1 format.
[h3]
Time[/h3]
- ASIA: 01:00 — 18:00 UTC
- CIS: 06:00 — 23:00 UTC
- EU: 08:00 — 01:00 UTC
- NA: 16:00 — 09:00 UTC
You can take part in Brawls only during the time specified for your server.

Rewards[/h3]
Up to
2,250,000 Credits;
80,000 Elite Commander XP;
10,000 Coal; and 4x signals of each type, except for special ones.
[h3]
Other features of Brawls[/h3]
- Each Brawl lasts only for a few days. They are available throughout each day, except for low activity periods.
- If you're not playing in a Division, your allies are picked randomly. Matchmaking takes the type and tier of your ship into account.
- The ship-type compositions of each team won't necessarily mirror each other.
- Battles take place on maps with a reduced combat area. All ships will be of the same tier.
- You can't take part in a battle with opponents who you fought against in several previous battles.
[h2]
Armory[/h2]
Added unique Dasha Perova Commanders for Italian and European ships.
Added the "Made of Steel" permanent camouflage, which can be mounted on all Tier X ships, except for
X ARP Yamato. The "Made of Steel" permanent camouflages for
X Yamato,
X Shimakaze, and
X Des Moines will automatically be replaced by the new camouflage.
[h2]
Visual and Technical Enhancements[/h2]
- Updated the way in which sun reflects off water. Improved the quality of reflections, waves, and areas with calm wind. Increased the amplitude and speed of waves on some maps.
- Improved the visibility of the squadron reticle on all maps.
- Added support for the AMD FidelityFX CAS Upscale sharpening filter, which allows for better performance on devices with weak graphics cards, with some reduction in image quality. The possibility to enable or disable the FidelityFX CAS filter and TXAA has been added to the graphics options section.
- Updated the background of modal windows.
[h2]
Other Changes[/h2]
[h3]Content additions and changes[/h3]
The following ships have been added for testing by developers, supertesters, and community contributors:
VII Z-31,
VIII Gustav Julius Maerker,
IX Felix Schultz,
X Elbing,
IX ZF-6,
VII Hyūga, and
V Agincourt.
Pan-Asian Tier VIII destroyer Fen Yang has been renamed
VIII Fenyang.
Added three new portraits of Italian Commanders.
Starting from Update 0.10.1, the following ships will no longer be available:
IX Georgia,
IX Alaska,
VIII Massachusetts,
X Thunderer, and
X Småland.
Starting from Update 0.10.2,
X Somers will cease to be available in the Armory for an indefinite period of time. She'll be replaced by another U.S. ship—
X Austin.
The ships have been taken out of the game due to a combination of their popularity and combat efficiency. This has been done in order to maintain the proper level of diversity in teams in terms of the ships they are made up of, but they may return in future.
We understand that accumulating Steel for
X Somers is a long process, which is why we wanted to warn you in advance. Any interested players can still steer this ship into their Ports before Update 0.10.2 goes live in about 1 month's time.
[h3]Other changes and improvements[/h3]
- Fixed an error that caused AA explosions not to deal any damage to aircraft squadrons in some cases.

- Other improvements and changes. For a complete list, please refer to Player Support (available in English).
