You can participate in Asymmetric Battles on the Public Test Server! They will be available between the following times: 06:00–05:00 UTC.
Starting with Update 12.5, it will be possible to set restrictions for ship types and specific ships in each league in Ranked Battles. These restrictions can be changed during the course of a season.
To test these changes, a special season of Ranked Battles will be held on the Public Test Server. Battles in all leagues will be fought with Tier X ships of all types. Teams will consist of three to six players, depending on the number of players in queue. Ranked Battles will be available on the Public Test Server between the following times: 00:00–23:30 UTC.
