Dockyard[/h2]
The main feature of Update 0.9.5 is the new Dockyard in the Port of Hamburg, where you will be able to construct two German ships at once—
VI Admiral Graf Spee and
VIII Odin.
Dockyard basics:
- The event will span two updates—0.9.5 and 0.9.6.
- Ship construction at the Dockyard consists of 20 shipbuilding phases. You can advance through these by completing Directives or spending
1,750 doubloons on each phase.
- The reward for completing phase 10 is VI Admiral Graf Spee in the War Paint camouflage.
- In total, you can complete 18 out of 20 shipbuilding phases by finishing Directives. You need to spend doubloons to progress through at least two of the 20 phases.
- After completing phase 20, you will receive VIII Odin
By completing the Directives, you'll obtain
VI Admiral Graf Spee and various other rewards from the Dockyard, as well as get a massive discount on
VIII Odin.

Updated Combat Missions[/h2]
In Update 0.9.5, we've significantly improved the combat missions.
- The interface has been revamped.
- Added combat missions with an "or" condition. In such missions, one of two given conditions needs to be fulfilled in order to get the reward. E.g. earn 10,000 Base XP "or" destroy 10 enemy ships. Thus, you will be able to choose which of the conditions you prefer, and fulfill the requirement playing the most suitable ships.
- Changed the way combat missions are displayed on the post-battle statistics screen: the interface has been revamped, and the possibility to track combat mission progress in a separate window has been added.
The rewards have also been updated: during summer, you’ll also earn Steel in addition to Coal when you complete combat missions! More details about that, as well as other changes to Daily Missions, will be available in the dedicated article covering combat missions.
Please note: the new system is still being tested, so the final rewards may differ. We'll be closely watching the results and taking player feedback into account when making decisions about the further development of Daily Missions.
[h2]
Armory Update[/h2]
- The interface has been revamped. Navigating between sections will now be easier and more convenient.
- Added the possibility to preview ships and camouflages in the Port before purchasing.
The details of these changes will be published in a dedicated article.
[h2]
Unique Upgrades[/h2]
In 0.9.5, we're starting the process of updating the unique upgrades. The current concept provides an additional opportunity to mount an upgrade with special-but-balanced bonuses in comparison with regular upgrades.
These changes will balance the effectiveness of the various unique upgrades, while preserving the unique gameplay of each ship.
[h3]List of changes[/h3]
[h3]
Enhanced Armaments (Yueyang, fifth slot)[/h3]
- The bonus that reduces the main battery reload time has been increased from 10 to 15%.
- Removed penalties on the action time of ship consumables.
- Added a bonus increasing the action time of Surveillance Radar.
- Added a bonus increasing smoke screen dispersion time by 20%.
- Removed a bonus that reduced the torpedo tube reload time.
The older version of this upgrade was unpopular because of low competitiveness with other upgrades in the slot. The new variant of the upgrade offers more aggressive gameplay with an accent on consumables and main battery instead of the concealment upgrade which involves a safe playstyle.
[h3]
Heavyweight Artillery (Khabarovsk, fifth slot)[/h3]
- Removed a penalty that reduced the traverse speed of her main turrets.
- The bonus applied to the main battery’s firing range increased from 8 to 10%.
- Added a 20% penalty to the action time of the ship’s consumables.
The upgrade now places much stronger emphasis on aggressive gameplay due to the enhanced main battery guns and reduced effectiveness of consumables.
[h3]
Enhanced Countermeasures (Worcester, sixth slot)[/h3]
- Moved from the fifth to the sixth slot.
- Removed all bonuses on the action time of her consumables.
- Added a bonus reducing the reload time of the Priority AA sector by 20%.
- Added a bonus reducing the reload time of ship consumables by 20%.
- Added a bonus increasing the number of the ship's consumable charges by one.
The upgrade moved from the fifth to the sixth slot, which means that it no longer has to compete with other upgrades that provide bonuses to maneuverability and detectability. The new parameters emphasize the role of this ship as a versatile cruiser.
[h3]
Enhanced Propulsion (Des Moines, sixth slot)[/h3]
- Reduced the bonus to engine power. Now, with the unique upgrade and the “Propulsion Modification 1” upgrade, it’ll take the cruiser 21% more time to reach maximum forward speed, and it’ll take three times more time to reach maximum backward speed. The ship will still be gaining speed faster with these two upgrades compared to having just one of them. At the same time, the time it takes the ship to reach 1/2 and 3/4 of her speed remains almost the same.
- Removed a penalty on the action time of Surveillance Radar.
The bonus to engine power was lowered to reduce the excessive effectiveness of the upgrade. The penalty to the duration of Surveillance Radar didn’t affect the use and effectiveness of the upgrade. Players will now choose between this unique upgrade and an upgrade that increases firepower.
[h3]
Enhanced Main Armaments (Großer Kurfürst, sixth slot)[/h3]
- The bonus reducing the main battery’s reload time has been decreased from 15 to 10%.
- Removed a penalty that reduced the traverse speed of her main turrets.
[h3]
Enhanced Damage Control System (Montana, fifth slot)[/h3]
- The bonus reducing fire extinguishing time has been decreased from 15 to 10%.
- The bonus reducing flooding recovery time has been decreased from 30 to 10%.
[h3]
Additional Main Battery Loader (République, sixth slot)[/h3]
- Removed a penalty that reduced the traverse speed of her main turrets.
[h3]
Accelerated Torpedo Tube Reload (Shimakaze, sixth slot)[/h3]
- The penalty reducing the torpedo tube traverse speed has been decreased from 80 to 70%.
Concerning X Großer Kurfürst, X Montana, X République, and X Shimakaze, balance changes designed to compensate for the excessive or insufficient effectiveness of their unique upgrades were made.
Expect changes to the unique upgrades of other ships in the coming updates.
[h2]
Changes in the Soviet Cruiser Branch[/h2]
Update 0.9.5 will see the Soviet cruiser branch split into two sub-branches.
X Moskva is a heavy cruiser, and she is going to leave the light cruiser branch and acquire the status of special ship that's available in exchange for Coal. She'll be replaced in the tech tree by light cruiser
X Alexander Nevsky.
V Kirov will also leave the branch to become a Premium ship. She'll be replaced by
V Kotovsky. The Premium version of Kirov is based on her standard hull that historically existed. The ship’s AA armament is the same as for her standard hull, while all of her other characteristics are same as for her researchable hull. At the same time, it will be possible to choose between the Spotting Aircraft and Fighter consumables.
[h3]Details on changes[/h3]
- Cruiser X Moskva will acquire the status of being a special ship. This means that the base cost of the post-battle service of this ship will be reduced from
180,000 to 90,000 credits, and Commanders from other ships of the same nation can be assigned to her without any penalties or retraining requirements.
- You'll receive cruiser X Moskva under the following circumstances: if you've already researched but haven't yet purchased her; if you sold her; or if you’ve had the branch reset through the Research Bureau.
- If your progress through the Soviet cruiser branch has been reset, the Research Point bonus will be transferred to X Alexander Nevsky.
- The unique upgrade and combat mission for cruiser X Moskva, as well as any permanent camouflages you’ve purchased, will be preserved. If the Type 20 permanent camouflage hasn't yet been purchased, it will be added.
- The Commander of cruiser X Moskva will preserve his specialization.
- Cruiser X Alexander Nevsky can be obtained only after she has been researched and purchased in the Tech Tree.
- The same rules apply to cruiser V Kirov and her tech tree replacement V Kotovsky, except that Kirov will become a Premium ship instead of a special ship.

[h2]
Map Changes[/h2]
Some changes have been made to the geometry of the Greece and Sleeping Giant maps.
- Sleeping Giant: changed the heights and the location of islands on the right flank. Closed the openings on the islands near the ship spawn points.
- Greece: the gap in the island inside Key Area A has been covered with a mound to avoid situations where ships could be detected by opponents that remained undetected.
[h2]
Daily Shipments[/h2]
During Update 0.9.5, enter the game in the period between June 11 and 25, inclusive, and start getting valuable rewards in the Daily Shipments section.
You can get a total of 10 rewards, while the shipments are available for 14 days. Thus, you can skip 4 days out of 2 weeks and still claim all the valuable rewards.
[h2]
Other Changes[/h2]
[h3]Game Balance Changes[/h3]
In Update 0.9.5, we've made changes to the parameters of certain ships based on our analysis of their battle efficiency and feedback from players. Such changes were required in order to carefully adjust their balance. Further changes may follow, should they be required, in future updates.
