World Of Warships: Legends Gets Legendary Tier Ships In May Update

Wargaming has unveiled a new update this week for World Of Warships: Legends, unlocking Legendary Tier ships for the game. This is part of the May 2020 update for the game, which will also include the full release of the Russian Battleships, and the new "Sword of the Pacific" campaign. Players will be able to begin unlocking these ships along with other rewards, as the update adds three new maps (Greece, Northern Waters, and Crash Zone), bug fixes, balance updates, and more. We have the full details about the ships being included below for you to check out, along with the trailer. All of the content will be released into the game on May 18th, 2020.

The first Tier VII premium destroyer, Yūdachi, is featured as the final reward in the new "Sword of the Pacific" campaign. She served in many of the early Pacific battles during World War II and eventually earned the nickname "Nightmare of Solomon" for her actions in the Guadalcanal campaign. In-game, she is a stealthy destroyer with excellent torpedoes and a torpedo reload booster consumable, more than backing up her historical reputation. Players will have five weeks to finish the 90-levels of the campaign, earning plenty of Boosters, consumables and more along the way!

The new Legendary Tier ships are unlocked in World Of Warships: Legends via a new feature, the Bureau. In essence, the Bureau gives players the ability to research ships and other rewards over time by playing the game daily. The research can be boosted by completing daily trials and assigning specific ships to the project.  Most importantly, the only way to command one of these powerful Legendary Tier ships is by completing projects in the Bureau. Players will be able to start working to unlock their first Legendary Tier ship after short introductory project, putting them on the way to the end-game of World of Warships: Legends.The Yamato, Alaska, and Großer Kurfürst will be the first three Legendary Tier ships available. These ships should be considered long-term goals for players, it will take a couple months to complete a project.

The Yamato, Alaska, and Großer Kurfürst are very powerful and pretty unique in their abilities. Yamato, for example, excels in medium to long range combat thanks to her immense 18-inch guns and armor scheme. However, Yamato can be surprisingly vulnerable at close ranges due to her armor weak spots—which is precisely where the other Legendary Tier Battleship, Großer Kurfürst, excels. This German behemoth is built for brawling combat with extensive armor protection and hit points. Alaska, the only cruiser in this Legendary Trio, is probably the most unique ship out of the bunch.  Her punchy 12-inch guns—the largest on any cruiser in the game—put Alaska into a league of her own.

The Russian fleet is complete at last in World Of Warships: Legends, as the Russian Battleships are leaving early access this update. They bring a lot of firepower into battle, though they do not have the best accuracy at long range. Skilled captains must use their heavy armor to get close before delivering devastating blows. The full release of the Russian battleships includes the Tier VII Vladivostok, the most modern battleship available to the Russian tech tree. Vladivostok has excellent firing angles and armor, but like most of the Russian behemoths she isn't very maneuverable and has a large citadel.
