[h2]D-Day Operations Continue[/h2]


Update 13.5 will see the bulk of our D-Day event play out, with two separate themed PvE Operations, each lasting two weeks.

  • Atlantic Wall Defense: During the first two weeks of the Update, you can take command of German Tier V-VII destroyers to lead the defense of the Normandy beaches from the Allied invasion fleet. Protect the coast and lay minefields to buy precious time for the arrival of reinforcements.
  • Omaha Beach Assault: Take the reins of an Allied warship on a mission to save stranded ships and clear a path to the legendary Omaha beach for your fleet.


Classified Documents are available in all the D-Day Operations, and you can select which ones to bring into battle with you to gain additional combat bonuses against specific enemy types.

A new section of the dedicated reward track unlocks at the start of each Operation. Complete secondary tasks to progress along the track and earn valuable rewards, including permanent camouflages for Baltimore and Jervis and British Commander William Tennant. If you continue earning Stars and unlocking extra levels, you'll earn 1x D-Day container for each level.

[h2]D-Day Operations Are a Go![/h2]


Speaking of Normandy, this Thursday saw the commencement of our unique D-Day PvE operations in the game!

The first Operation, which will be available until the release of Update 13.5, sees you take command of the Allied vanguard spearheading the landings on Utah Beach. You'll have to fight through enemy naval forces and suppress coastal defenses to ensure the safe arrival of your landing craft.


For these D-Day Operations, we're introducing gameplay-enhancing mechanics called Classified Documents. They provide bonuses against specific enemy types and come in three different secrecy levels, with each level providing additional bonuses.
