World of Warships News

[h3]We’re happy to announce the full release of Frog Fathers: Lessons From the Normandy Surf on our YouTube channel![/h3]

Having premiered during the Longest Night of Museums livestream, this documentary film produced by World of Warships in collaboration with veterans’ charity FORCE BLUE lets you tag along with four Navy SEAL veterans to the beaches of Normandy, where the principles of U.S. naval special warfare were forged in fire.

[h3]Acknowledgments[/h3]

We at World of Warships would like to extend our gratitude to our partners, without whom this important project would have been far out of reach.

FORCE BLUE
Established as a nonprofit organization in 2016, FORCE BLUE seeks to address two seemingly unrelated problems—the rapidly declining health of our planet’s marine resources and the difficulty that returning combat veterans have in adjusting to civilian life—through one, mission-focused program.

National Navy SEAL museum
The National Navy SEAL Museum is the only museum dedicated solely to preserving the history of the United States Navy SEALs and their predecessors. Located in Fort Pierce, Florida, the museum resides on the training grounds of the original navy combat divers, the frogmen.

[h3]Changelog[/h3]

Fixed a bug which caused equipping a second flag to not work as intended for American aircraft carriers.
Fixed a visual bug with the ship preview option in the Armory.
Fixed a bug which sometimes prevented players from changing the volume of the in-game music when in battle.
Fixed several other small issues.

IMPORTANT! This update is still being tested. The information in this article 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.

[h3]Mode Shuffle[/h3]

The highlight of the current test is the Mode Shuffle, a new temporary battle type that places you into one of three game modes:

• Airship Escort: Help your team's airship reach the finish line first by escorting it and hindering the enemy airship's progress.
  
  
• Convoy: Enter the battle as either a raider or defender as a flotilla of AI transport ships push forward to reach their destination across the map.
  
  
• Arms Race: The battlefield is littered with buffs for your team. Be the first to claim them and leverage your advantage to defeat the enemy team!
  

[h3]New French Destroyers Line[/h3]

A new branch of French Destroyers from Tiers V–X will be entering Early Access soon! Introducing L'Adroit, Duchaffault, Le Hardi, L'Aventurier, Orage, and Cassard.



This line features powerful torpedoes with high damage, speed, and a long range. Starting with Le Hardi, these torpedoes will deal considerable damage at close range, but decrease in power the farther they travel.

Note: These ships will not be available during the Public Test.


[h3]Support Consumables in Brawls[/h3]

In Update 13.6, you will be able to participate in three Brawls, featuring a twist to make battles even more engaging.

Support consumables will boost your team's effectiveness in battle. You may remember them from the Piñata Hunt event or 25th season of Clan Battles, but this time, the rules have changed: only specific support consumables will be available in each format.
