- RF Azov (1134-BF) is coming soon! - 5 October 2026
Where endless steppe winds whip up waves across the olive-emerald surface of the Sea of Azov, and golden sandspits stretch into its shallow inlets, lies a land defined by its unique maritime character. The shallowest sea on Earth has served for centuries as a crossroads of civilizations and an arena for dramatic historical battles. On these shores, the ramparts of an ancient fortress still stand, bearing witness to both the Cossack Siege of Azov and the decisive campaigns of Peter the Great that reshaped the geopolitical balance of the South. This union of an unpredictable sea and an impregnable stronghold gave history a name that became a symbol of resilience and a freedom-loving spirit.For centuries, naval traditions have cherished the memory of this name. It was etched into global maritime history by a sailing ship of the line that demonstrated exceptional skill at the Battle of Nava…
- IT Andrea Doria (D 553) is coming soon! - 2 October 2026
Where the rugged slopes of the Ligurian Apennines plunge into the azure waters of the Mediterranean, Genoa rises in all its splendor — the magnificent “La Superba” (The Proud). An ancient maritime republic whose harbor descends in an amphitheater toward the bay, Genoa hides a grand history behind its maze of narrow streets and marble palazzi. For centuries, it was a cradle for some of Europe’s most fearless seafarers. In Italian culture, this majestic city has long been held in the highest regard, embodying the untamed freedom of the sea and the unshakable power of a maritime nation. And it was this very spirit of an uncompromising naval power that would repeatedly leave the ancient Ligurian shipyards, reborn in steel.For many years, the Italian Navy has honored the memory of the great admiral Andrea Doria. Although he was born not in the Ligurian capital itself, but in the coastal town…

- Update 0.109: Infernal Tide - 29 September 2026
Main Update Highlights⭐️ Expanded Ricochet SystemThe ricochet system has been expanded, making the mechanic deeper and more dependent on player actions. Ricochet probability now takes both the impact angle and weapon caliber into account: lighter projectiles ricochet more frequently, while heavier ones are less likely to do so.Ricochets are impossible when a projectile strikes at a perpendicular or near-perpendicular angle. The closer the projectile trajectory is to a tangent relative to the target's surface, the higher the chance of a ricochet.This gives ship positioning an additional tactical role. Pointing your bow toward the attacker or keeping your ship at a sharp angle can increase the chance of incoming shells ricocheting and potentially reduce damage from enemy gunfire.When firing manually, the opposite principle applies: try to aim for areas where your shells will strike at a m…

- JS Shirane Aegis is coming soon! - 7 September 2026
In the very heart of Honshu rise the Southern Japanese Alps, crowned by the Shirane Sanzan massif — three majestic "White Peaks." The main one, Mount Kita, is second in height only to the sacred Fuji, towering over a rugged land of deep gorges, relict meadows, and steep trails that for centuries have served as a pilgrimage site for the mountain ascetics, the yamabushi. In Japanese culture, this snow-capped monolith sheltering Yamanashi Prefecture has always been an object of deep reverence, embodying unwavering resilience and the pristine power of nature. And it was this very spirit of an unyielding stronghold that once left its celestial heights to be reborn in naval steel: passing its proud name to our hero today, the Shirane mountains are embodied in a formidable destroyer destined to carry the majestic grace of the Japanese Alps through ocean storms.Historical BackgroundThe JS Shira…
- USS New Jersey (BB-62) is coming soon! - 3 September 2026
The era of battleships had already come to an end by the late 1940s. During World War II, it became clear that even a giant bristling with hundreds of guns could be sent to the bottom remarkably quickly by carrier-based aircraft. The age of massive-caliber artillery rapidly gave way to a new force that would rise to the top of the food chain in naval warfare. The fate of giants such as the Yamato and Bismarck is striking proof of that!But is there still a place for battleships in the modern world? Our featured ship today embodies the idea of what a classic artillery warship might look like in the present day. It has received only the upgrades necessary to defend against threats from the skies, while the foundation of its firepower remains not modern missiles, but good old-fashioned guns.Historical BackgroundUSS New Jersey (BB-62) is one of the most decorated Iowa-class battleships in th…

- CN Project CG90 is coming soon! - 22 August 2026
In the modern world, leading naval powers are increasingly moving away from oversized warships, instead relying on maneuverable squadrons of missile frigates and destroyers. The logic is clear and pragmatic: as the saying goes, “the bigger they are, the harder they fall.” A compact modern frigate can be armed to the teeth, and losing one will not deal a fatal blow to the military budget. It would seem that the era of steel leviathans is a thing of the past. But what about naval prestige and the overwhelming power that only truly gigantic warships can project? What should a naval giant look like in the 21st century to not only survive among modern threats, but become the ultimate threat to any adversary? Chinese engineers and shipbuilders have found the answer. The result of their work is a ship that changes the rules of the game at sea. And that ship is our guest today!Historical Backgr…
- Modern Warships: Ancient Continents - 12 August 2026
Sometimes the ocean does not reveal its secrets — it merely leaves a clue. A fragment of an ancient fossil leads a group of scientists to an uncharted area of the sea where, according to legend, the entrance to a long-forgotten underwater civilization complex lies hidden. Backed by a wealthy investor, the researchers set out on a dangerous expedition and discover ruins with flowing lines, mysterious patterns, and mechanisms built with technologies long lost — or perhaps never known to humanity.Join the “Ancient Continents” expedition and take part in naval battles in “Tandem Wars” mode. Event Description Play Tandem Wars, Team Deathmatch or Squad Wars modes and earn Tokens needed to complete the Event Pass.The event mode grants a x5 Token bonus for the first 10 battles each day.Use Boosters: they last for 1 hour and increase the number of Tokens earned per battle by 100%.Complete Event…
- CN Project 055G is coming soon! - 10 August 2026
What should be done with a warship once its weapons and technology begin to rapidly fall behind the times? Some would coldly suggest scrapping it for metal or selling it off. But for those who invest not only billions into their fleet, but also their passion, such an idea would be nothing short of sacrilege!That was exactly the conclusion reached by Chinese engineers and designers when they faced the question of the future of the Type 055 destroyers. How could they allow such power and beauty to be destroyed? Instead of sending these ships to the scrapyard, they underwent a comprehensive modernization, transforming them into vessels built for the realities of modern naval warfare. The ship was given a second life and was truly reborn.Today, we'll take a detailed look at the final result of this remarkable transformation.Historical BackgroundCN Project 055G is a modernized variant of the…
- CN SSA is coming soon! - 3 August 2026
Ask yourself: what is a modern submarine unimaginable without? Most people would immediately think of torpedoes—the classic and indispensable weapon of any submarine. Others would mention missiles, and they'd be absolutely right, because no modern conflict can do without powerful missile armament. But what else could be missing? Chinese engineers have prepared a truly surprising answer to this intriguing question. And it must be said—their solution is nothing short of astonishing!Historical BackgroundCN SSA is a unique semi-submersible high-speed trimaran developed by Chinese engineers, blurring the line between three classes of naval vessels: a submarine, a high-speed trimaran, and a fully fledged warship. Its design is built around stealth principles, and when combined with its semi-submersible hull, it becomes an exceptionally difficult target for both radar and sonar detection.The v…

Stat upgrades are now 100% transparent and guaranteed — each stage has a clear fixed cost.Changes to the Stealth ParameterThe Stealth parameter can no longer be upgraded. Enemy ships and aircraft with this parameter will appear on the minimap as neutral circles when they are outside your view range.To identify which enemy is hidden behind the circle and which direction they are facing, you will need to detect the target again by moving close enough for it to enter your view range.⭐️ Protection Against Ping AbuseAn end to ping abuse! We want battles to be decided by tactics and skill, not by artificial connection delays.Previously, when ping spiked abnormally, damage dealt could be applied with a delay, creating an unfair advantage.

Commanders!We present to you the results of the grand survey series "Tiering Tier 3", conducted in June 2026.We went through a lot of rebalance during the last three months, and the survey result is a loud echo of its effects.ShipsLet's start with some good news: several fan-favorite destroyers that had previously fallen out of favor have made a strong comeback. IT DDX, JS Akizuki (DD-115), and USS Constitution II (DDR-2000) are once again highly rated by players.The heavy hitters RF Kronshtadt and CN ShiYan made an impressive leap into S Tier.

- Modern Warships: Depths of Despair - 9 July 2026
Scientists are conducting a series of experiments at an ultra-modern research station located on the edge of the world's unexplored ocean depths.Their goal is to discover and study new types of natural materials for the resource race on the surface. But the corporation's management demands that they descend ever deeper, disrupting the fragile ecosystem of hidden ocean regions that have existed in absolute silence for millions of years.Alongside these discoveries, strange accidents begin to occur: workers disappear, and all that is found are fragments of equipment and the remains of diving suits. The researchers have crossed an invisible boundary into the domain of forgotten sea horrors — and now a deep-sea threat hangs over the station.

- USS Defiant (BBG-1) is coming soon! - 7 July 2026
Which classes of warships dominate modern navies today? The trend is clear: the spotlight has shifted to missile destroyers and frigates. Their greatest strengths are mobility, relatively affordable cost, and the ability to carry a formidable arsenal of precision-guided weapons, from cruise missiles to anti-ship missiles. Against this backdrop, the once-mighty giants—aircraft carriers and missile cruisers—are gradually losing the prominence they once enjoyed.It brings to mind the "golden age" of naval warfare, when the seas were ruled by colossal warships stretching hundreds of meters in length, bristling with guns of every caliber. The comparison to modern sharks and their ancient ancestor, the megalodon, is hard to resist: paradoxical as it may sound, even an ocean of endless horizons is no place for giants to reign forever.But what if capital ships were to make a comeback? What would…
