Hello Captains, and welcome to a new Development Blog post! Today, we're having a look at some new changes and features coming with the arrival of our 10th Anniversary Update—14.8.
Hello Captains,
Can you believe it's been a full decade since the first salvos were fired across the high seas of World of Warships? As we sail into our 10th Anniversary, we’ve prepared something truly special. This coming celebration is the biggest we’ve ever planned, and that means more free ships, more gifts, more events, and more reasons to log in than ever before.
From daily bonuses and containers to the Blast from the Past event, and the return of Asymmetric Battles—Update 14.8 sets the stage for the most celebratory season in our history.
So grab your captain’s hat, we’re diving into everything you need to know for the 10th Anniversary!
Based on testing results, we are applying changes to Admiral Reinhard, Admiral Scheer, Knesebeck, Manteuffel, Prinz Adalbert, Royal Sovereign, Barfleur, Amiral Lartigue, Laffey, and Kushiro effective July 31st.
Hello Captains!
Today, we're pleased to announce 2 more Premium ships in the works, including one ship that we think some of you will be particularly happy to see, as she's a beloved ship that you can visit in real life.
A new map has its layout set and enters closed testing by volunteers.
Captains! We're applying balance changes to a number of ships based on an analysis of both their combat statistics and player feedback. These changes will take effect on July 24th.

We have worked on changes to Aircraft Carrier and AA mechanics for a while now to resolve the following systematic issues. Our main goals are to reduce spotting capabilities of planes and dispose of unintentional spotting; make AA defense more impactful at the time of its use; and keep aircraft carriers effective in battles.
We continue our standardization of carrier-related systems, and Update 14.7 will introduce a few more balance refinements to aerial mechanics.
