In Update 0.10.5, we held the 'Grand Battle' event, dedicated to the super battleships: a hypothetical development of the large artillery ship concept. In World of Warships, players are able to fight not just aboard historical ships - plenty of the in-game designs were either planned in real life but never constructed, or constitute our own 'What-If' guesses.

One of the intermediate rewards for advancing through the construction stages is the famous British tier VI battleship Repulse - one of the Renown-class battlecruisers which took part in WWI and WWII, ultimately sinking at the Battle of Kuantan in 1941. This time, players should get ready to build the British Tier IX battleship Marlborough. Regarding ships to be rewarded for in-game activities, we first have the tier VI battleship Novorossiysk - the modernized version of the Italian battleship Giulio Cesare, transferred to the USSR as reparation after WWII.

The new German battleships also have powerful secondary armament, are equipped with long-range torpedoes, the Hydroacoustic Search, and the Fast Damage Control Team consumables. Their definitive distinction from standard battleships is a thinner hull plating but better main battery accuracy, low detectability, and good speed. They represent a class of battleships that can be considered battlecruisers. In Update 0.10.9, the new branch of German battleships revealed.

In the last issue of Waterline, we discussed submarines in Ranked Battles and World of Warships' Anniversary, alongside some already announced game modes and some upcoming novelties that will be covered in more detail.
