GERMAN CARRIERS: PART 2
German carriers are now available for all players to research! The new ships carry high-speed aircraft that have small HP pools. Their armament includes armor-piercing rockets and AP bombs, as well as fast torpedoes.
The new “German Navy” collection comprises six sections, with six elements in each. Learn about the history of the German Navy during the first half of the 20th century—the ships and aircraft; personalities and emblems; awards and uniforms. The reward for completing the collection is the ability to mount two flags and alternative camouflage patterns on German ships.
You can find the first element of the collection in German Navy containers, which in turn can be obtained by progressing through Directives or picked up from Daily Shipments. You can continue collecting elements from daily containers by activating a subscription on the collection page. Another container can be obtained by clicking the button in an article about the collection that will be published next week.
Rewards for completing the Directives: up to five Kriegsmarine containers, which have specific chances of dropping IX Pommern, VIII Mainz, VII Z-39, VIII Admiral Hipper, or other desirable rewards. Final reward: Iron Cross permanent camouflage for Pommern.

The Port of Hamburg has been updated.
Please note: German Tokens can be exchanged in the Armory before: Wed. Sep. 02 3:00 AM PT. After that, they will be converted into credits at the rate of 1:9,000.
RANKED SPRINT
Starts: Fri. Aug. 21 7:00 AM PT
Ends: Mon. Aug. 31 6:30 AM PT
Format: 3 vs. 3, playing Tier IX ships
Rewards: 10,000 Coal; 500,000 credits; and a lot of signals.
Maps: Hotspot, Mountain Range, Shatter, Warrior's Path, and Northern Waters with reduced combat areas.
Details of the Ranked Sprint will be published in a dedicated article.
SETTING THE ORDER OF CONSUMABLES
An option to set a custom order of the consumables for each ship has been added. Any customizations are saved on the server, so you won't need to set them again if you play on different computers.
UNIQUE UPGRADES
New unique upgrades for X Daring, X Kléber, X Harugumo, X Kremlin, X Audacious, X Midway, and X Hakuryū have been added to the "Research Bureau" tab of the Armory. They are each exchangeable for 19,200 Research Points. The current concept provides an additional opportunity to mount upgrades with special-but-balanced bonuses in comparison with the regular upgrades.
NEW UUs
Changes to existing UUs
NAVAL BASE
Added improvements for the Treasury that will allow Clan leaders to regularly exchange Oil for Clan rewards.
The Research Center, which provides a bonus to the amount of received XP, has been renamed "War College." A new building named "Research Institute" has been added. It increases the amount of Research Points a Clan receives.
To show the result of the Clan's activity, the water area of the base will fill up with warships and auxiliary vessels, with their number depending on the number of battles played. The more Random, Ranked, and Co-op Battles that have been fought by Clan members over the last month, the more vessels that will appear in the waters of their Naval Base. The number of warships depends on the number of Clan Battles played over the last 3 months.

ARMORY
*
Added two new battle signals, which can be obtained in exchange for credits, Coal, and Research Points.
X-Ray Papa Unaone: increases the action time of Smoke Generator by 15%.
Sierra Bravo: increases the action time of Hydroacoustic Search by 10% and reduces the cooldown period of Defensive AA Fire by 10%.
They will be added to the "More Signals and Camouflages" daily container at a later point in time.
The following bundles will become available with the release of the Update:
IX Pommern for 228, 000 Coal, and from bundles that are available in exchange for doubloons. Pommern is a variant of the H-class battleship project that's armed with twelve 380 mm guns. Decent armor, powerful secondary armament, the Hydroacoustic Search consumable, and torpedoes allow the ship a high degree of confidence in close quarters engagements.
VI Erich Loewenhardt in bundles that are available in exchange for doubloons. Her bombers, unlike the aircraft of researchable German aircraft carriers, are armed with HE bombs, and her torpedoes have a longer range but lower speed.
X Slava for 63,000 Research Points. She was an implementation of a battleship project that was developed after the end of World War II to counter the American Iowa- and Montana-class ships. Due to the high accuracy and excellent armor-penetrating capabilities of her AP shells, Slava is most efficient in artillery duels over greater distances. Her armor is not strong enough to be effective in close quarters combat.
Unique British historical Commander Andrew Cunningham with 10 skill points for 175,000 Coal. The Commander possesses unique talents that increase the speed of his ship and aircraft, provide an additional charge for the ship's consumables, or increase the reload speed of the armament.
IX Pommern and VI Erich Loewenhardt will also be available in the Premium Shop.

PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK BELOW
I'd need a lot more information to help you really.
Like what hard drive are you installing it on? Is it the same one that Windows is on? Because if that is the case Windows allots HD space for itself, though it will show available space it isn't always available.
But perhaps @foodprinter can help more than me?

If you buy the Pommern you get the Type-10 camo, NOT the Iron Cross Skin.
