Update size: 2.8 GB
British heavy cruisers V Hawkins,
VI Devonshire,
VII Surrey, and
VIII Albemarle are arriving in Early Access. To obtain them, exchange the new event resource—British Tokens—in the Armory for random bundles which can drop the new ships.
With the release of Update 0.9.1, Tier V–X British heavy cruisers will become available for all players to research in the Tech Tree.
Cruisers IX Drake and
X Goliath have even more powerful artillery: main guns with a caliber of 234 mm and high-explosive shells that can penetrate armor up to 58 mm thick. Additionally, their Repair Party consumables are capable of restoring 60% of non-citadel damage.
The new game event tasks you with completing 36 missions spread across four Directives. The first Directive will become available with the release of Update 0.9.0, while those that follow will be unlocked each week. Completing missions will bring you signals, expendable camouflages, and credits; completing Directives will reward you with British Tokens.
British Tokens can be obtained from Daily Shipments or earned by completing Directives and Daily Missions. In a new Armory section, you can exchange the Tokens for random bundles which can drop British heavy cruisers V Hawkins,
VI Devonshire,
VII Surrey, or
VIII Albemarle. Each ship comes with the Victorian White permanent camouflage.
Apart from the ships, random bundles can drop days of Warships Premium Account, Coal, camouflages, and special signals.
Bundles that include significant hauls of desirable items are also available in exchange for doubloons in the Armory.
British Tokens can be obtained only in Update 0.9.0. With the release of Update 0.9.2, all British Tokens will be converted into credits at a rate of 1:4,500.
Format:Tier X ships in a 7 vs. 7 format.
Restrictions: a maximum of one battleship per team and no aircraft carriers allowed.
Rewards: up to 11,000 Steel and many additional rewards.
Maps: Hotspot, Sea of Fortune, Tears of the Desert, Crash Zone Alpha, Mountain Range, Land of Fire, and North.
Season Features: a cyclone is guaranteed to appear on each of the following maps: Mountain Range, Land of Fire, and North. Spotting range during a cyclone is 12 km instead of the usual 8 km for a Random Battle. The point in time at which a cyclone appears, as well as its duration, are strictly predetermined and don't change.
We'll provide you with more details about the Season in a dedicated article.
As the opening move towards the changes that have been promised for unique upgrades, we've updated the way in which they are obtained. With the release of Update 0.9.3, unique upgrades will appear in the Research Bureau tab of the Armory. The challenges and combat missions for unique upgrades will also change.
We’re going to update the existing upgrades and add some new ones in future.

V ARP Kirishima,
V ARP Haruna,
V ARP Hiei,
VII ARP Myōkō,

A new camouflage for VIII ARP Takao has also been added.
On the occasion of Lunar New Year, we've added some flags, patches, permanent camouflages, and Commanders. Read a dedicated article to learn how to obtain them, as well as new ships VIII Wukong,
