World Of Warships – Piñata Hunt

It's no joke, starting at the end of March, a Piñata Hunt event is coming to the game for April Fool's Day! Competing in two teams of seven, Tier VIII-IX ships will go head-to-head on a modified and uniquely decorated version of the Hotspot map in a race to sink a special piñata ship. As part of the fun, each ship that competes in this event will be dressed in a random selection of event-themed camouflages and will explode in a brand-new animation as they've been sunk. As a reward for their smashing efforts, players will receive special piñata tokens, which can be exchanged for themed permanent camouflages, a patch, and a commemorative flag in the Armoury. This event also introduces a brand new mechanic to the game with the addition of Support Consumables. With a range of eight unique consumables, players can unlock up to five consumables through purchase or by completing combat missions.

Commonwealth Cruisers

A brand new line of ten cruisers representing the Commonwealth nations have dropped anchor in Early Access. Found in the Tech Tree, those historical ships are known for their good damage per minute, countered with a slow turret traversal speed. With both light and heavy cruisers in this line, guns on this ship start from 152mm, and increase to 203mm from Tier VIII onward, and find additional firepower with the inclusion of torpedoes from Tier III onwards. Alongside the addition of these cruisers comes a new Commonwealth Team Event Pass. With two 20-level progression lines to explore, players can unlock a plethora of rewards. Included are historical Commander Harold Farncomb who comes equipped with six skill points, camouflages, Containers and tokens to be redeemed in the Armoury. This Event Pass replaces daily missions with weekly missions, which streamlines progression compared to previous passes.

Submarine Improvements

Rounding out World of Warships' March update are a number of new features and improvements to submarines. Included are adjustments to torpedoes, to enable distance-based damage, improved proximity awareness to other submarines and enhanced underwater terrain visibility. American aircraft carriers Independence, Yorktown and Essex also depart from Early Access as a part of Update 13.2. Plus, a brand new season of Ranked Battles comes to the game from 13 March, pitting ships at Tier VIII and above against one another in two teams of six; and four new close-combat Brawls start on March 15.
