Attention all Shipwrights! A new Dockyard is coming to World of Warships in Update 12.11.
Sestri Ponente Dockyard
Update 12.11 brings us to Sestri Ponente in the Italian Riviera for the construction of IX Michelangelo at the Dockyard. The Sestri Ponente Dockyard will contain 32 phases, 27 of which may be completed through missions. At least 5 phases will need to be purchased with Doubloons to finish the construction of Michelangelo and add her to your port. Starter Packs of 5 and 10 phases will be available to buy for 6,000 and 10,000 Doubloons respectively. You can also buy individual phases for 1,750 doubloons each.
Once constructed, Michelangelo will boast twin four-barrel turrets that let loose 320mm Armor Piercing or Semi-Armor Piercing shells. She will also be heavily armored and brimming with SAP secondaries!
Builders will be able to comfortably sail this ship into battle under the cover of an Exhaust Smoke Generator while her Hydroacoustic Search keeps watch for enemy activity. She even has fast Torpedoes for delivering that knockout blow in close quarters.
Dockyard missions may be completed through Updates 12.11, 13.0, and the first two weeks of 13.1. The dockyard itself will remain in port Until the end of update 13.1.
