World of Warships News

In the 1930s, the world's naval superpowers often secretly ignored and evaded world treaties that were intended to curtail the arms race, and were designing new and never-seen-before battleships.

Every nation was striving to build a ship that would be bigger and more powerful than the German Tirpitz and Japanese Yamato. The U.S. government decided to build a series of brand-new battleships in order to give themselves a real chance of counteracting their potential enemies. The lead ship of the series was named Iowa, and she was the only superbattleship that managed to survive World War II.

Battleships Iowa, Yamato, and Tirpitz never actually met in battle. In a new and special episode of Naval Legends, we're going to compare these ships and try to imagine which of them might be the victor of a hypothetical battle between the three superbattleships.

K-21 is one of the K-class submarines, nicknamed "Katiusha" by sailors, and today she’s permanently berthed in Severomorsk where she serves as a museum ship.

In the spring of 1942, command of K-21 was entrusted to Captain 3rd Rank Nikolay Lunin. Subsequently, one of the most vivid pages in the history of the Soviet Navy was written.

What gallant deeds can K-21 boast of? Watch our video and find out!

Starts: Thu. 08 Aug. 08:00 CEST (UTC+2) Ends: Tue. 03 Sep. 07:30 CEST (UTC+2)

• All players who have access to Ranked Battles in their Service Record can participate in the new season. Newcomers to World of Warships will need to play 130 battles in any game mode to unlock this possibility.
  
• Only Tier IX ships are allowed.
  
• Battles are held in a 6 vs. 6 format, and team line-ups will be completely equivalent in terms of ship types.
  
• The new season has 18 ranks. For simplicity, they have been combined into Leagues: Second, First, and Premier.
  
• Those who are new to Ranked Battles will start the season from Rank 18. Participants of the twelfth Ranked Season will receive bonus stars: one for each rank reached.
  
• By winning battles, players earn the stars needed to climb the ranking ladder. At the majority of ranks, a defeat means a lost star.
  
• Ranks 18–15, and 12, are irrevocable. You cannot lose a star for a defeat at Ranks 18–17. Be the first on your team in terms of XP earned, and you get to keep your hard-earned star, even for a lost game.
  
• A bonus star is granted for reaching a new rank at Ranks 18–11.
  
• Only stars obtained for the first time are counted towards progress for the Ranked Battles emblem. Bonus stars for the previous season are included in this count if you play at least one battle in this season.
  
• Flags awarded for reaching Leagues will be removed from player accounts once the season ends.
  
• You’ll receive a commemorative achievement for reaching the Rank 1 in the Thirteenth Season.
  
• All those who reach Rank 15 will receive a commemorative flag, which will remain in their collection.

Battles will be held in Domination mode on Sleeping Giant, Shards, Northern Lights maps and the new Crash Zone Alpha map, as well as in Epicenter mode on the Trident map.


According to established tradition, all of your achievements from the previous season will be accounted for, so you won't have to start from scratch. Depending on the Rank at which you finished the previous season, you’ll be granted a certain number of bonus stars. The maximum possible number is 17 stars. If you earned the maximum number of stars in the previous season, you’ll start the new season at Rank 10. Rewards issued for the preceding ranks will be added to your account automatically.


The overall reward remains the same—a total of 5,500 Steel and 1 Ranked Token. Ranked Tokens replace Copper and can be exchanged for stylish permanent camouflages in the Armory.

Additionally, you'll receive a commemorative flag, sets of signals, expendable camouflages, and doubloons. Apart from that, you'll get temporary league flags when you reach Rank 10 and Rank 5, which reduce the cost of servicing your ships by 10% and 20% accordingly. They'll remain on your account until the end of the season.

In this season, the Second League flag, which reduces the servicing cost by 5%, will be replaced with a one-time reward of 500,000 credits.

See you on the battlefield, Captains!
