Clan Updates

In Update 0.6.11, several new major features will be available for Clan players:

New Resource :Oil
Naval Bases
Clan Battles

New Resource: Oil

Oil is a new resource in World of Warships that can only be earned by Clan members. Oil is required to develop a Clan's Naval Base, which provides Clan members with permanent bonuses.

In Update 0.6.11, you can earn Oil in two ways: 1.Containers issued or added to your account 2.Completing assigned challenges and combat missions

You only get Oil when you earn a Container, not upon opening it or earning enough XP to receive it. You'll see the Oil added to your Clan's account displayed as a system message.

Each Clan has its own 'Clan level'. The more Oil obtained, the higher the Clan's level is. In the current iteration, levels will only affect access to buildings, and will serve as a general indicator of how active a Clan is.

The whole amount of Oil obtained by a player is added to their Clan's account.

The Naval Base

Every Clan has a Naval Base comprised of a Headquarters, Shipyard, Research Center and Dock. Their specific locations within the base are marked by flags and images. These structures are available by default, although they don't provide any bonuses in their 'default state'. Use Oil to upgrade the buildings and begin receiving bonuses. Only the Commander and Deputy Commander can spend Oil on building and upgrading.

To receive bonuses, you must be members of the Clan and obtain a minimum amount of Oil for the Clan, required to gain access to the facilities built ('access'). All Clan members, including its Commander, need facility access, the value of which depends on the level of the Clan.

You only need to get access once to get bonuses from all facilities available in Update 0.6.11. The access is granted to the facilities of one Clan only. If you leave the Clan and join another one, you'll need to get access to the facilities of a new Clan again.

New Content

Ships

Developers, supertesters and other special contributors get to test the premium Italian Tier V battleship Giulio Cesare and Pan-Asian Tier VI cruiser Huang He.

Camouflages and Containers

Added a special Container and a unique permanent camo for Soviet Tier V battleship Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya (October Revolution).

Deep-water Torpedoes

Deep-water torpedoes were added for the Pan-Asian ships and carrier Graf Zeppelin for testing. These torpedoes can travel at greater depths than standard torpedoes, and can pass beneath a ship without hitting her, depending on the draft. Torpedoes that will pass beneath a player's ship will be displayed as circle icons for that player. In this case, the sound notification and indicator of approaching torpedoes will not detonate.
