April's chest

• In addition to the vehicle coupons from previous April events that can currently be won from the box, the same vehicles can now drop not as coupons, but will be automatically applied to your account - vehicle coupons will continue to drop alongside this. This increases the chance to get a vehicle without devaluing any currently held coupons. If a player gets a vehicle that they own already, they receive 1,000,000 SL instead.
  
• Coupon drop counters are split into item categories (coupon for vehicle, coupon for camo, coupon for decoration, Hat trophy), that allows instant drop on an item in each category after opening the required number of chests, instead of a random item in a random category.
  
• Battle trophies with boosters, wagers and orders now open into separate items both in the...

Optimised ship repair process

• After receiving new damage, the updated timer will show the time until the end of the repair of the module that was previously functional, which again receiv...
