[2022] Announced on Discord: Multi-Tiered Operations!

There's a Q&A going on over on our Discord server https://discord.gg/wows where the first batch of Answers have been delivered for our Maps and Game Modes Q&A! I won't spoil all the fun, but a pretty nifty piece of information got dropped~

For those squinting at the picture...

This year we will return the previously withdrawn Operations to the game. We plan not only to return them, but also to make them — and the ones currently available — playable for different ship tiers (at first, it will be Tier VI-VIII ships). At the same time, bot ships will not change, but they will get specific bonuses to their characteristics depending on the setup of the player team. If it goes well, in the future we will expand operations to higher ship tiers. For now, the feature is still in development, so unfortunately we cannot reveal all the details, but we will definitely share new information with you as soon as everything is ready. Stay tuned!

As for new operations, we don't have any final plans yet. We will wait for the old operations to be released on the main server, and then we will collect statistics and player feedback on all of the upcoming changes to determine the fate of this battle type. If operations are popular with players, there's a good chance we'll go back to creating new ones.

Another 10 Questions will be answered later on this week <3

This is still something that is being worked on, so I don't have any specifics like that to share. This is more of an announcement of how we're looking to make Operations compatible with more Tiers then just the ones they were initially designed for to improve playability and ship selection~

At this time, we're announced Tier 6 through Tier 8 Compatibility. The last bit is very important, so I'll put it below~

We will wait for the old operations to be released on the main server, and then we will collect statistics and player feedback on all of the upcoming changes to determine the fate of this battle type. If operations are popular with players, there's a good chance we'll go back to creating new ones.

If people enjoy them as much as we hope, then we can see about getting even more love thrown their way <3

We plan to bring back the improved Cherry Blossom, Hermes and The Ultimate Frontier, and are also considering bringing back the themed Operation Terror of the Deep as part of the Halloween event.

We'd already announced that we are returning 3 Operations, but adding that they will be able to be played across multiple Tiers is new, cool information~

I do believe Operations should still be selectable for groups that are in a Division.

As to rotation concepts, there was a Feedback Thread about those ideas a while back. I don't have more to announce as this was an early-info drop on what's in the Pipeline.

This is the nature of early announcements. Details and Specifics aren't fully finalized and ready to be shared.

As things become finalized we'll make more in-depth DevBlogs or News Articles announcing the concept in more fully formed ways. The Econ-Camo Separation was announced on a Roadmap with little specifics, but was followed up by a 7-page DevBlog complete with 2 Calculators. And... Boggzy and I will have some follow-up information on the stream later tonight about the Econ/Camo stuff.

Development of features and modes is a process. Our commitment to getting information out earlier is going to result in some information-over-time release windows.

When the Operations are returned, it's just a matter of playing them and enjoying them~
