Contents
Pan-Asian Cruisers
The ships of the new branch have small-caliber guns with high rates of fire and powerful deepwater torpedoes, but they cannot boast of having high survivability.
Consumables
- All ships in the branch are equipped with a variant of the Smoke Generator consumable with a reduced cooldown time.
- The new Tier VI and higher cruisers have Defensive AA Fire.
- The Tier VII and higher ships have the Torpedo Reload Booster consumable.
- IX Sejong and X Jinan are equipped with Repair Party.
Early Access
Rewards: Completing combat missions will earn you a new temporary resource—Pan-Asian Tokens—as well as ships V Chungking and VII Chumphon for completing the second and fourth combat mission groups, respectively.
Pan-Asian Tokens can also be obtained from random bundles available for Doubloons, free daily bundles, and in exchange for Community Tokens in the Armory.
Pan-Asian Tokens are a new temporary resource that can be earned for completing combat mission groups. Moreover, Pan-Asian Tokens can be obtained from random bundles available for Doubloons, free daily bundles, and in exchange for Community Tokens in the Armory.
Rewards for Pan-Asian Tokens: Sequential bundles with VI Rahmat and VIII Harbin, Silk Sunrise permanent camouflages for researchable Pan-Asian Tier VII–X cruisers, plus other rewards.
The Dragon Port has been updated to celebrate the arrival of the Pan-Asian cruisers in Early Access.
When Update 0.11.2 goes live, the Pan-Asian cruisers will become available for all players to research.
Asymmetric Battles
The last 2 weeks of the update will see the return of Asymmetric Battles — a temporary battle type with a different distribution of ships and tiers between teams.
Rules
Starts: Wed. Feb. 02 2:00 AM PT / your local time: Wed. Feb. 02 4:00 AM Ends: Wed. Feb. 16 2:00 AM PT / your local time: Wed. Feb. 16 4:00 AM Format First team
- Tiers: IX and X
- Number of ships: 6–8
Second team
- Tiers: VII and VIII
- Number of ships: 9–12
Asymmetric Battles are available only during a certain Prime Time period each day. This allows us to improve the balance of teams and reduce the number of bots in battle, as well as reduce their influence on the outcome of the battle. If there aren't enough players in the matchmaking queue, bots may be added to teams. Details will be available in the game client and in a dedicated article on our website.
Battle Tokens are a temporary resource that is required to enter battle playing Tier IX–X ships. You can earn these Tokens by participating in Asymmetric Battles playing Tier VII–VIII ships. When you first log in during Update 0.11.0, you will be credited enough Tokens to enter one battle playing a Tier IX–X ship.
You can earn Community Tokens by completing special daily and weekly combat missions during the event.
Rental Superships
Superships and their mechanics have been of great interest to players so far, and these ships may one day become a full-fledged part of World of Warships. In the future, we want to continue the existing branches by adding superships. We consider this to be a logical step, and we are confident that superships do not fit into Tier X because of their superiority over their "predecessors" in terms of their performance characteristics.
This is a big and important decision for World of Warships. For this reason, we've planned thorough testing of the superships based on our previous experience.
We're carefully monitoring both the data we receive and your feedback. The current Ranked season has shown that superships fit into the current game concept and have been warmly received by players.
Therefore, starting from Update 0.11.0, the testing of superships will continue not only in Ranked and Co-op Battles but also in Random Battles.
Random Battles have a different format compared to Ranked Battles—12 vs. 12. It's important to test superships in these conditions because they significantly change the battle tempo and density, which means that the effectiveness of superships may change. The high popularity of Random Battles will allow us to collect the necessary statistics and get feedback for the further development of superships.
Only Tier IX and X ships will be able to participate in battles with superships, and the standard restrictions on the number of ships of certain types and tiers apply in battle.
In Update 0.11.0, rental superships will be available from random bundles in the Armory. Each random bundle provides 6-day rental superships or 100 Coal.
Changes to Yamagiri
We have added an alternative torpedo module. You can now choose one of two sets of torpedoes under the Equipment tab:
- Type F3 (range 8 km) and Type 93 (range 20 km).
- Type 93 mod. 3 (range 12 km) and Type 93 (range 20 km).
Detailed characteristics of torpedoes are available in the game client.
Division Stars
Division Stars, which are available during the update, are special bonuses issued for playing together with each Clanmate.
- You can get a Division Star by playing in a Division with your Clanmates.
- The Stars can be earned in all battle types, except for Training Battles.
- Certain numbers of earned Stars unlock access to various rewards.
- If you switch Clans, any Stars and rewards you previously received remain with you.
To see the roster of Clanmates who you can team up with in a Division, as well as the list of rewards you can get, navigate to the Division Star tab in the Clans section.
By playing together with each of your Clanmates, you can get a total of up to 3 Stars—one for each fulfilled condition:
- Victory in battle.
- Earning the General Offensive achievement.
- Earning the Brothers-in-Arms achievement.
Submarines
Following the Public Test of Update 0.11.0, we realized that the changes we had planned do not lead to the desired results. Submarines continue to underperform compared to other ship types. Therefore, we decided to temporarily stop testing submarines on the Live Server so we can prepare additional changes.
From Update 0.11.0 until Update 0.11.2, submarines will not be available on the Live Server. We plan to resume testing submarines in Update 0.11.2, and additional mechanics improvements will be made ahead of that.
You can read more about the submarine test results on our Development Blog.
Brawls
Two Brawls await you in Update 0.11.0.
Seventh Brawl
Starts: Mon. Jan. 24 8:00 AM PT / your local time: Mon. Jan. 24 10:00 AM Ends: Mon. Jan. 31 1:00 AM PT / your local time: Mon. Jan. 31 3:00 AM
Format: 3 vs. 3 playing Tier V ships
Restrictions: no more than two ships of each type per team
You can take part in the Brawl only during the time period specified for your server.
Eighth Brawl
Starts: Mon. Feb. 07 8:00 AM PT / your local time: Mon. Feb. 07 10:00 AM Ends: Mon. Feb. 14 1:00 AM PT / your local time: Mon. Feb. 14 3:00 AM
Format: 2 vs. 2 playing Tier VII ships
Restrictions: no more than one battleship per team
You can take part in the Brawl only during the time period specified for your server.
Game Maps and Modes
Land of Fire, Sea of Fortune, Trident, Loop, Greece, Crash Zone Alpha, and Northern Waters with a reduced combat area in Domination mode.
Rewards
Up to 10,000 Coal; 2,250,000 Credits; 80,000 Elite Commander XP; and 72 combat and economic signals.
You'll find detailed descriptions of the new Brawls in a dedicated article.
Changes to Aircraft
For convenience in interacting with aircraft and maintaining the progression through ship tiers, we have standardized the characteristics of all carrier-based and patrol fighters, including those carried by Premium and special ships.
Tier Hit Points Detectability Range (km) Speed (knots) III–IV 100 5 187 V–VI 125 7.5 221 VII–VIII 163 7.5 235 IX–X, superships 203 7.5 266
The changes will not affect the amount of HP of VI Béarn fighters because powerful fighters with a small field of view are one of the features of this ship.
We have slightly reworked the aircraft camera performance during the preparation for an attack and during an attack of attack aircraft and torpedo bombers of the researchable Soviet aircraft carriers, as well as the VIII Chkalov torpedo bombers. These changes will improve the aiming experience without affecting game play.
Armory
X Incomparable — a project of a very large and high-speed battlecruiser developed in 1915 — will become available in the Armory when the update goes live.
She is armed with six powerful 508 mm main battery guns with a high rate of fire for a battleship, as well as two quadruple-tube torpedo launchers with a good torpedo range and tube-by-tube launching capabilities. The ship is capable of achieving high speeds and has decent AA defenses.
The battleship has a wide range of consumables at her disposal: Specialized Repair Teams; Short-Range Hydroacoustic Search; and Engine Boost, which is rarely found on ships of this type. She can also choose between the Fighter and Spotting Aircraft consumables. You can get her in exchange for 31,000 Steel.
The new Griffin permanent camouflage for X Plymouth has been added and made available in exchange for 3 Clan Tokens.
The display of the number of upgrades, camouflages, and signals already available on player accounts has been added to the Armory.

Changes to Camouflages
An alternative color scheme was added for special permanent camouflages for VIII Tirpitz and VII Scharnhorst.
Tech Tree Changes in Update 0.11.1
