[h2]Wiesbaden in the Armory[/h2]


A new Tier VIII German cruiser has dropped anchor in World of Warships—Wiesbaden!

To grab the ship for yourself, open sequential bundles in the Armory holding containers. You are guaranteed to get the ship after opening all bundles, that is, if you don't already get her from opening one of the containers, because each of them has a chance to drop Wiesbaden!

This light cruiser has low detectability, effective air defenses, and long-range torpedoes. It is capable of dealing a lot of damage with the main caliber per minute and can also use the Smoke Generator.

This is a short overview of the planned features for Update 13.4. If you want to participate in the Public Test for the coming update and read more about its features, visit the dedicated article on our website:

IMPORTANT! Because the 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.

[h2]80th Anniversary of D-Day[/h2]



On the morning of June 6, 1944, the full force of the Western Allied powers was brought to bear against Germany's Atlantic Wall on the beaches of Normandy, in what amounted to the largest amphibious invasion in History.



80 years on, we're commemorating it in World of Warships with three brand-new event Operations spread across Updates 13.4 and 13.5:

1. Clear the way for landing craft at Utah Beach by suppressing German defenses.
   
2. Take command of German destroyers and delay the arrival of Allied forces at Omaha Beach.
   
3. Mount a daring rescue operation at Omaha Beach as an Allied ship.
   

Each Operation will be available for 2 weeks, and you'll be able to participate in Divisions of up to 6 players helming Tier V–VII destroyers, cruisers, and battleships.


The D-Day Operations only have a single difficulty level, and completing the primary objective will not be the hardest part. There will, however, be a series of secondary objectives that will grant you Stars and increase the overall difficulty of the Operation. The Stars will progress you through a special reward track, giving you the opportunity to earn new Classified Document options.

[h3]New Mechanic: Classified Documents[/h3]


A special mechanic, Classified Documents, will be available in these Operations and can be activated against certain enemy groups for additional bonuses. Each Document has three levels: "Confidential," "Secret," and "Top Secret." Each new level grants an additional bonus to the existing Classified Document option.

There are twelve options in total—six Allied and six Axis—and players receive one option per side at the start of the event. Only three can be brought into an Operation at a time. You can either choose them in the Port manually before battle or during a short window of time after the Operation begins.

[h2]Clan Battles 25: Support Consumables[/h2]

Clan Battles Season 25, codenamed "Polar Bear," will be shorter than usual due to its experimental nature—we're adding some of the support consumables you may be familiar with from the recent Piñata Hunt event. These special consumables will provide advantages to you and your team.

To keep teams balanced with these support consumables active, there will be restrictions on the number of consumables that can be taken into battle per Division, as well as restrictions on which types can equip certain consumables.

[h2]Update 13.3[/h2]


A brand-new update has just hit the game servers! USS Wisconsin is being built at the Dockyard, festive Golden Week activities are primed, Asymmetric Battles return... Read our patch notes via the link below to learn all about these and many more new features and activities!

You can form Divisions of up to five players to fill out the whole player team, with the following restrictions:

• 1 aircraft carrier
  
• Up to 2 battleships

• Up to 2 destroyers

[h2]Dockyard: Wisconsin | Combat Missions[/h2]


Construction of historic American battleship USS Wisconsin has commenced!

Start working your way toward unlocking as many of the shipbuilding phases as you can by completing combat missions, and remember that you can get battleship West Virginia '44 for free just for reaching phase 20!

Don't sweat it! You have until the end of the next update (Update 13.4) to complete the Dockyard combat missions, but there's no harm in getting a head start!

More info: EU

[h2]Golden Week Event Pass[/h2]


A new update means a new Event Pass! This time, it's themed around the spring holidays traditionally celebrated in Japan.

You can already get started on completing the daily and weekly missions that will bring you the points required to progress through the different levels of the progression lines.

Among the rewards, you'll find Romanian Commander Andrei Teodorescu, permanent bonus packages, permanent camouflages for Japanese ships, Japanese Commander Ashikaga Teru, and Golden Tokens.

You can spend Golden Tokens at the Wishing Wharf event in the Armory.
