As we’ve just announced, a new branch of Japanese battleships is on its way! Following our long-standing tradition, we want to celebrate its upcoming release with a community camouflage contest! Download the template below and draw up a design for a permanent camouflage that you would like to see grace the Tier VIII representative of the branch—Yumihari. The winner of the public vote will have their camouflage implemented in the game, and the top 10 artists will win Premium Ship containers!
