Wargaming has announced that update 0.8.3 will be released in World of Warships today. It will provide early access to the Soviet battleship branch.
Starting today, players can take part in the daily Victory competition. Having taken one of the sides (“Honor” or “Glory”), when defeating the enemy, users receive allowance tokens that can be exchanged for the Tier VII Soviet premium cruiser “Lazo” and the “Victory” camouflage. Or a loot box that can contain one of the four Soviet battleships. Every day, the tasks for the winning team will be more difficult, but the rewards will be more valuable.
Among the eight Soviet battleships will be Peter the Great (Tier V), Sinop (Tier VII) and Vladivostok (Tier VIII), which were never built - they existed only on blueprints. Ishmael (Tier VI), which also appeared in the game, was launched but not completed. Unlike other ships within the class, these ships are heavily armored, armed with powerful guns, and are more effective at short to medium ranges.
In World of Warships, you can find both existing vehicles and those that were only on paper. To reliably design the latter, Wargaming turned to the Central Naval Museum of St. Petersburg and the state archives. Drawings of the battleship project 23 "Soviet Union" (tier IX) were found, for example, in the State Archive of the Russian Federation in the fund of the USSR Defense Committee. The kit was used only once - to show Stalin in the Kremlin when the project was officially approved in 1939. Due to the old age of the document, Wargaming had to restore the drawing - redraw it.
Documents of the Project 24 battleship "Kremlin" (Tier X) are still classified. Its development was carried out in the middle of the last century. To create a reconstruction of the project, Wargaming had to master a large amount of information and bit by bit select information about the project 24.
In addition, two new ships and fifteen unique commanders have appeared in World of Warships, inspired by the popular characters of the Azur Lane mobile game. And mech designer Makoto Kobayashi drew a camo for the Tier X Japanese battleship Yamato.
World of Warships is a shareware MMO action game for PC.
