Combat missions and Armory upgrade
For Update 0.9.5 we've conducted a global update of combat missions:
- The combat missions interface was fully updated.
- Now Directives are located in the battle missions section.
- The combat missions display on the post-battle screen was updated.
- Combat missions with the "OR" condition were added: to accomplish this mission you need to complete one out of two conditions.
- For example, earn 10,000 base XP or destroy 10 enemy ships. Completing any of these two conditions will lead to the completion of the battle mission and getting a reward. Thus, players will be able to decide which condition they like most and pick ships suitable for its completion.
- New rewards for daily missions were added. For example, in Update 0.9.5 steel will be added in a list of rewards for daily missions in the amount of 20 per day. And in July, research points will be added there as well (for players who already have access to the Research Bureau). In total, players will be able to receive up to 1200 research points per month.
We've also updated the Armory:
- Armory interface was updated
- Navigation between sections will become easier and more comfortable.
- Ships and camouflages available in the Armory can now be previewed in the Port.
Ranked Sprint and Clan Brawls
From June 24 to July 6, the 12th Ranked Sprint will be held in a 8 v 8 format on Tier VIII ships in the "Domination" mode.
There will also be 2 Clan Brawls:
- On June 20, there will be the Clan Brawl #10 in a 3 v 3 format on Tier X ships without aircraft carriers, with a restriction of one battleship, cruiser and destroyer in a team.
- On July 4, there will be the Clan Brawl #11 in a 4 v 4 format on Tier VIII ships, with a restriction of one ship of each class per team.
Maps improvements
The maps Riposte, Operation "Killer Whale", Defense of Naval Station "Newport", "Raptor" Rescue, Operation "Narai", as well as the Ports of Dunkirk, Kronstadt, Designer's Table, and Twitch Prime have been adapted for the new lighting model and enhanced HDR technology.
There were also some small enhancements in the geometry of the maps Sleeping Giant and Greece.
- Sleeping Giant: heights and positions of islands on the right flank were changed. Gaps between islands located at the spawn points were closed as well.
- Greece: a lintel located inside the A cap was replaced with the mound to avoid the situation when ships of one team could get spotted while enemies remained invisible.
Content additions
Permanent camouflage "Steel" for Yamato, Des Moines, and Shimakaze will become available in the Armory. These camouflages will grant standard bonuses but will allow you to stand out from other ships in battle and demonstrate your success in competitive modes of World of Warships to everyone. Each camouflage will cost 10,000 steel.
"French Navy" camouflage was added for Kleber, as well as "Victorian White" camouflage for Goliath, "Freedom" for California, and "Nordic" camouflage for Ägir and Siegfried.
The memorable flag of Public Test Spring Season was added.
Commanders Shirakami Fubuki and Houshou Marine with special voiceovers were added due to the upcoming collaborations with Hololive.
Also, commander Leslie Violet was added to the game
