ST, ranked sprints, sound and visual improvements, new camouflages
Ranked Sprint:
There will be 2 ranked sprints in the 0.8.8 update. The 8th sprint will feature battles between tier VII ships in the 6 vs 6 format, and the 9th sprint will have teams of 7 ships at tier VIII.
Sound and Visual Improvements:
We continue to improve sound and graphics of the game:
The sound system was updated: the mechanism for sounds of guns and engines was improved;
Ocean, Big Race, North, Fault Line, Polar and Islands maps and the Philippines port were updated for the new lighting model. They also feature the changed sky due to improved technology;
Towns are added on the Crash Zone Alpha.
New Camouflages:
Bismarck, Cossack and Ark Royal had something in common: one of the most famous cats of WWII "served" on them - Unsinkable Sam. Each of these ships gets two camouflages: one shows how the ship looked like when Sam was on the ship, and the second is with an image of the legendary cat. Bonuses of the camouflages are the same:
-3% to detectability range;
+4% to maximum dispersion of shells fired by the enemy at your ship;
-10% ship's post-battle service;
+50% Experience per battle.
Details about obtaining these camouflages will be published on the game's website.
Please note that the information in the Development Blog is preliminary.
