Greetings, veteran Captains and new players, renowned and yet-to-be-famed warriors, Clan leaders and die-hard solo sea wolves! Every single one of you has a place at the Recruiting Station, so let's make it stronger than ever before!

The Recruiting Station is a new special in-game system of rewards, where Recruiters invite their friends to the game and receive unique containers in return, as well as cashback in doubloons from purchases made by those they recruit.
https://youtu.be/mwEV9cWwVEk

The Recruiting Station tab is already available in the game and on the main page of the portal, replacing the "Play with Friends" tab. If you are already a participant of the "Play with Friends" program, all your referral links will be saved. Your referees will turn into your Shipmates automatically, so that you can receive cashback and Recruitment Points from them, too.

https://worldofwarships.eu/content/recruiting_station/
A Recruiter is a player inviting other people to join and play World of Warships. You can become a Recruiter irrespective of whether you are a seasoned veteran or a novice player. The "Recruiter" status is available to those who:

• Have played at least 15 battles
  
• Played their last battle within the last 90 days

A Shipmate is a person who joins World of Warships on invitation of a Recruiter through the Recruiting Station. The "Shipmate" status is available to those who:

• Have not played the game yet
  
• or played their last World of Warships battle more than 90 days ago
  
• or played less than 15 World of Warships battles in total

It’s impossible to accept an invitation from more than one Recruiter.

Recruitment Points are a special currency that can be accumulated and exchanged for unique containers in the Rewards tab of the Recruiting Station section, accessed from your Port.

• A Recruiter receives 400 Recruitment Points for their first Shipmate straight away.
• A Recruiter receives 1 “Junior Recruiting Station” container for the first three invitations sent.
• A Recruiter receives 10 Recruitment Points for each battle played by a Shipmate. At the beginning of each week, all Recruitment Points can be collected and transferred to the Recruiter's account. Up to 1,500 Recruitment Points can be earned per week in total (not per shipmate).
  
• A Recruiter receives 18 Recruitment Points for every battle played in a Division with a Shipmate. Victory bonus: An extra 8 Recruitment Points.
  
• A Shipmate receives 5 Recruitment Points for every battle played in a Division with their Recruiter. Victory bonus: An extra 5 Recruitment Points.

• Earn at least 150 XP points if you enter a battle with a Tier I-V ship.
  
• Earn at least 300 XP points if you enter a battle with a Tier VI-X ship.

When playing in a Division, this rule applies to each participant of the Division.



Reward for the first battle in World of Warships:

• 
  Soviet Tier II cruiser Diana Lima, a Port slot, and a Commander with 9 skill points
  
• 7
  days of Warships Premium Account
  

Reward for the first battle played with a Tier VI ship:

• 
  British Tier VI battleship Warspite, a Port slot, and a Commander with 10 skill points;
  
• 7 
  days of Warships Premium Account
  
• 5,000,000 credits
  
• 25 signal flags of each type
  
• 5 “More Resources” containers

All battles will count towards progress, except training battles.

A Recruiter gets cashback from purchases made by their Shipmates. Once each month, a Recruiter will receive a cashback in doubloons equal to 10% of the total cost of purchases made by the Recruiter's Shipmates in the Premium Shop.

• Only a Recruiter who has 2 or more Shipmates is eligible to get cashback.
  
• Cashback is credited in doubloons only. The cashback is equal to a percentage of the cost of purchases made by a Recruiter's Shipmates in the Premium Shop.
  
• Cashback is credited on the first day of every month.
  
• Each Cashback crediting includes Shipmates’ purchases which were made more than 1 month from the moment said cashback is credited.

Disclaimer: cashback benefits only apply to purchases made after the start of the Recruiting Station referral program, not retroactively.


Feel free to share your link in the dedicated thread, on your Steam profile, social media & instant messengers, also for more visibility for newcomers and your friends you may add it to your review!



Note: for the Steam version you shouldn't create an account through an invitation link. Follow these steps instead:

1. Log in to World of Warships on Steam at least once.
   
2. Click an invitation link. It should be from a player of the same region you've selected.
   
3. Select "Log in".
   
4. On the right-hand side select "Log in with your social profile: Steam."
   
5. Sign in to the Steam website.
   
   • If you accessed the invitation link via Steam's overlay browser, you will already be signed in.

Cruiser Diana Lima should appear in your Port after playing one battle. If she doesn't, please restart the game and repeat the aforementioned steps, being sure to check that you haven't mixed up your accounts. Be wary that after playing 15 battles you can no longer use an invitation link.

The system remains unchanged for Recruiters.

It's common knowledge that "ship" is a feminine word in many languages. But don't be intimidated by the transformation of these steel machines into fair ladies—even the most menacing battleships have hearts!

That's why Azur Lane, a popular mobile game available for iOS and Android, presents the ships of World War II in the form of girls. Why are we bringing it up again? The cooperation between the World of Warships team and Azur Lane developers is continuing!

[h2]Details[/h2]
VIII AL Yukikaze is a Japanese Tier VIII destroyer with a unique permanent camouflage designed in the style of the popular Azur Lane mobile game. The ship is notable for her higher speed and greater damage characteristics of her torpedo armament.

[h3]Key features:[/h3]

• Powerful torpedo armament. Two quadruple-tube torpedo launchers. Range—8 km; speed—76 knots; damage—21,367 HP; and reload time—104 seconds
  
• Impressive concealment characteristics. Base spotting range by sea is 6.84 km
  
• She earns more credits per battle, and her permanent camouflage adds a 50% XP bonus per battle and reduces the cost of the ship's post-battle service by 10%

For a detailed look at the ship's technical specifications, follow this link.

VIII AL Montpelier is an American Tier VIII light cruiser with a unique permanent camouflage designed in the style of the popular Azur Lane mobile game. The ship is modeled after researchable American cruiser Cleveland, but differs from her by having a more extensive HP pool and more accurate artillery.

[h3]Key features:[/h3]

• Effective, rapid-firing artillery. Twelve guns placed in four turrets. Firing range—15.6 km, reload time—7 seconds
  
• HP pool—37,500 points
  
• She earns more credits per battle, and her permanent camouflage adds a 50% XP bonus per battle and reduces the cost of the ship's post-battle service by 10%

For a detailed look at the ship's technical specifications, follow this link.

VIII AL Littorio, modeled after Italian battleship Roma, has great firepower and reliable side armor. While the battleship's guns cannot boast of having the kind of long firing range that is usually typical of the ship type, AL Littorio excels in close- and medium-range artillery duels due to her superb ballistics. Another advantage is provided by the ship's concealment, which is pretty good for a battleship. AL Littorio can go undetected for longer periods, allowing her to take the first shot in duels against hostile battleships.

[h3]Key features:[/h3]

• Her main battery consists of nine 381 mm guns with good ballistics and a high initial shell velocity
  
• Great torpedo protection and reliable armor
  
• Superb concealment for this ship type
  
• She earns more credits per battle, and her permanent camouflage adds a 50% XP bonus per battle and reduces the cost of the ship's post-battle service by 10%

For a detailed look at the ship's technical specifications, follow this link.

IX AL Sov. Rossiya, modeled after battleship Sovetsky Soyuz, stands out by her impressive dimensions and excellent armament system. The ship received her maneuverability parameters from battleship Sovetsky Soyuz (B), but retained the hull and AA defense features of Sovetsky Soyuz (A).

[h3]Key features:[/h3]

• Nine 406 mm guns with flat-trajectory ballistics and a high initial shell velocity. Unlike the researchable Soviet battleships, shells launched by AL Sovetskaya Rossiya have standard accuracy parameters for the ship type
  
• Large HP pool
  
• Good armor protection
  
• The Damage Control Party consumable she carries has a reduced cooldown time between uses, but a limited number of charges
  
• She earns more credits per battle, and her permanent camouflage adds a 100% XP bonus per battle and reduces the cost of the ship's post-battle service by 20%

For a detailed look at the ship's technical specifications, follow this link.

[h2]About Azur Lane in a nutshell[/h2]
The Azur Lane mobile game has been developed as a shooting RPG based on "shoot'em up" mechanics.

• Players participate in intense shooting by taking command of a Division that includes several naval warships turned humanoid.
  
• Enemies deliver a squall of fire, and the player's main task is to avoid the shells, minimize damage, and blast away foes by shooting back.
  
• There are more than 400 ships, or rather "Ship-Girls," in Azur Lane. They are based on ships of different nations from the World War II era.

More information is available on the official website of the Azur Lane game (in Japanese).
