No other restrictions are in identify, the Artillery Race mechanic is here again, and battle fatigue hits at 10 equally usual, pregnant that just the results of your x best battles in terms of XP gained are counted towards the Leaderboard daily.

A brief reminder on how Arms Race works: iii waves of buffs spawn on the map at sure times throughout the battle, e'er at similar distances to each team's spawn points. The buff effects benefit the whole team and can be stacked, so don't treat them carelessly.

The list of the bonuses stays the same:

1. Main gun reload speed—x% single stack; 33% at 6

New Ships of the Update

Tier IV Murmansk

A sister ship of the Omaha and Marblehead cruisers but nether the Soviet flag. She is capable when it comes to AA defense and lets you lot play with American shell arcs, managed by Soviet Commanders, which is definitely a unique combination. Murmansk is available for 6,250 Steel in the Forge from January 3.

Tier 7 Azuma

Projected in Japan every bit a large cruiser for longer-range engagements, with 3x3 12.two-inch (310 mm) guns, she's certainly fit for that job. A large HP pool makes Azuma pretty tough while her Repair Party as well has a relatively short cooldown, which doesn't make life easier for her foes! She's available from January 10 for 750,000 Global XP.

Rest and Miscellaneous Changes

While there aren't too many individual ships under the scalpel blade this Update, pay shut attention to the aircraft-to-transport visibility changes, as they might play (pardon the pun) with our meta.

The statesA.

Tier VII Kansas

Main battery reload time decreased from 38s to 34s.

Chief bombardment crush grouping improved by 12%.

Kansas is a solid performer, but her maneuverability can be a real hindrance on occasion. Additionally, to give her a niggling more than pep over her predecessor, N Carolina, nosotros're upping her harm per infinitesimal with a simple gun reload buff.

Japan

Tier VI Shiratsuyu

Chief bombardment reload time decreased from vii.2s to 5s.

We constitute that Shiratsuyu does endure in destroyer duels that don't cease in torpedo carnage, but the chief concern was that her ability to prepare fires was a trivial lower than nosotros would take liked it to be, hence this buff.

UsS.R.

Tier 5 Gnevny

Main battery reload time decreased from 5s to 3.5s; range of upgraded torpedoes increased from 4 km to half-dozen km.

Gnevny is an object of frustration for many, and it'due south truthful that she did lag in cardinal metrics compared to the balance of the line, so we're boosting her harm per 2nd for all the available armaments and looking frontwards to you making fresh memories with her.

Tier VI Minsk

Upgraded main battery reload time decreased from five.2s to three.5s; range of torpedoes increased from 4 km to 6 km.

The story of Minsk is quite similar to that of her Tier Five sister but on a bigger scale, and so to speak, then we didn't attempt to invent the wheel and gave her more firepower.

Tier VI Sinop

AP crush maximum harm decreased from 12,950 to 12,000.

Main battery shell grouping reducedby 6%.

Truth be told, Sinop is non the nearly obvious choice of Tier Six battleships nowadays, only she's been low-cardinal pulling up in the charts, hence this nerf. We do non expect much to alter, except for a few very successful salvos peradventure giving her victims more of a gamble.

Aircraft squadron spotting and visibility changes

• Squadrons don't spot ships if there are islands or smoke in the way of straight visibility and vice versa.
• Squadrons don't spot other squadrons if at that place are islands or smoke in the fashion of direct visibility.
• Returning squadrons that are at unreachable heights (normally within a few seconds of starting their flight dorsum to the mothership) don't spot other squadrons.

The ship-to-airplane and aeroplane-to-ship visibility values have long been a signal of contention among y'all, and then we're trying to make their interactions a tad more than realistic, pretty much—just similar you lot asked! This modify might exist more or less drastic than information technology looks on paper, so we will eagerly await your feedback!

Audio changes

• Added support for custom aircraft sounds for the Lord of the Seekers peel for Baronial von Parseval.
• All the Infinite skins in the game, namely,Pensacola, New Orleans, Baltimore, La Galissonnière, Algérie, Charles Martel, Gearing, Shimakaze, and Großer Kurfürst received laser sounds for their main gun salvos.

Bug fixes

• Muffled sounds in the menu after ending a battle.
• Blitheness of switching Bureau Projects playing back when in that location was no actual switching.
• Bureau principal screen focus returning to the first Project instead of the recently viewed i.
• Agency boosters showing as being assigned to a dissimilar Project than it actually was if that Project allowed the aforementioned boosters.
• Nassau losing her gun sounds if she had the Halloween (default) peel equipped with Halloween cosmetics turned off in the carte.
• (Mobile only) Incorrect icon showing upward in the Send Upgrade menu subsequently switching between dissimilar ships multiple times.

Other

All containers in the Store received a 'Show details' button, that sends yous to the droprate page in 1 push button.

Have a great vacation time, and turn the tide!
