New features[]
Unique Ship Camouflage[]
Unique camouflages have been introduced to the game. These can have increased ships stats and XP gain bonuses
- Unique camouflage is permanent; once purchased, it can be used at any time
- Unique camouflage can be only equipped on its corresponding ship
- All premium ships have unique camouflage
- All T6 or higher ships have unique camouflage
Economy tweaks[]
Rewards from battle[]
- Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 ships were receiving less XP and Silver from battle than we expected
- Because the of the difference in XP and Silver gain between a winning and losing team was so large, players with outstanding performance on a losing team would not receive a very satisfying reward
- In the previous version, XP and Silver gain depended too heavily on kills, while other team-based performance offered less
We are going to do following changes to solve these issues:
Base XP and Silver[]
| Tiers | Changes |
|---|---|
| 1 to 3 | +25% |
| 4 to 8 | +10% |
Performance factor changes[]
| Tiers | Changes |
|---|---|
| 1 to 2 | +20% XP and Silver reward for damage dealt |
| 5 to 7 | +10% Silver reward for damage dealt |
| 4 to 10 | -10% XP reward for each ship kill |
| All |
+20% XP and Silver reward for each aircraft kill +20% XP and Silver reward for each point capture |
Removal of sunk penalty[]
- In all Battle Tiers, being sunk in battle will no longer incur a silver penalty
Winning Bonus reduced[]
In all Battle Tiers, the Victory bonus on XP and Silver has been reduced from 50% to 25% Ship research XP and price change
- Except Battleships, all other Tier 2, Tier 3 and Tier 4 ship research XP and Silver price have been reduced by 8%-15%
Ship Maintenance Cost[]
In this version, we have balanced the service cost for all ships based on their tier. + Ships of the same tier always has same Maintenance cost for each battle.

Ship performance changes[]
Shell dispersion update[]
We have added new dispersion values for all gun types to control how the shells disperse within the max dispersion area; now most of the shells’ impact within the dispersion area are not uniformly distributed over the surface, but will attempt to hit towards the center of aim.
Battleship Tuning[]
We are aware of the positive performance of battleships in all tiers of battle. We love their outstanding survivability and devastating firepower, but reloading time is a little bit faster than we expected, even in a comparatively fast-paced mobile game.
We have decided to do following changes on battleships:
Increase main armament reloading time[]
| Ships | Changes |
|---|---|
|
South Carolina Wyoming New York Texas New Mexico |

| All battleships |

Increase shell penetration[]
All battleships
