Special

Niord — European premium Tier IX battleship.

A fast battleship with a similar layout to World War I-era German battlecruiser designs. Had history taken a different course, she might have been laid down in Germany by 1918, bought by Sweden in the 1920s, and gradually completed by the end of the 1930s. The battleship's artillery armament is supplemented by four quintuple-tube torpedo launchers.

Niord was first released for sale on 27 November 2024, as the reward for completing all 20 stages of the Hamburg Dockyard.
