Some changes and new features may be removed entirely or implemented differently by the time the update goes live. Screenshots, specific values of certain characteristics, and details of in-game mechanics won’t necessarily be relevant after the update is released.[/b][/quote] [quote][i]Please note: The rewards for activities on the Public Test Server may differ from those on the Live Server.[/i][/quote] [h2][b][url=https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/general-news/bulletin-1210/][/url]Asymmetric Battles Return[/b][/h2] The forthcoming Update 12.10 reintroduces Asymmetric Battles in a fresh format. Battles will now be staged in a 5 vs. 12 format, featuring Tier VI–X ships and superships. While players can helm any ship types they like, submarines will be absent from the bot-controlled team. In player teams, the maximum tier difference between ships will be limited to one; bot ships may be up to two tiers lower than player ships. [quote][i]Example: Players helming Tier VI and VII ships will be pitted against bots sailing Tier IV and V ships.[/i][/quote] Players may assemble Divisions comprising up to five members to participate in Asymmetric Battles. A single Division may include: [list][*]One aircraft carrier [*]Up to two battleships [*]Up to two cruisers [*]Up to two destroyers [*]One submarine[/list] AI-controlled ships have been reprogrammed to prioritize attacking the player-controlled ship with the highest HP in close proximity. We’ve also slightly reduced the bots' ability to evade torpedoes. These bots will also exhibit increased engagement in battles for Key Areas. We've implemented these changes based on our analysis and player feedback, with the aim being to enhance the gameplay experience for non-battleship classes. This also adds more dynamism and challenge to battles involving Key Areas.
