'[World of Ships](/games?search=Мир кораблей)' presents update 25.7. The innovations bring significant changes to gameplay, especially for fans of underwater warfare, as well as offering improvements in graphics, sound, and new mechanics that will make every battle even more exciting.

Ships 2.0: New model creation technology

The battleship 'Red Banner' will be the first ship in the game developed using a new technology. This will elevate the quality of models to high and maximum game settings to a fundamentally new level, avoiding a significant impact on game performance. You can evaluate the graphical differences using an interactive slider in the article on the portal.

The new technology will allow the addition of new gameplay possibilities and increase the number of scenarios for using ships. Another feature of the technology will be its minimal impact on game performance while achieving a significant leap in graphics and textures.

Improvements in graphics and sound: a new stage in game development

As part of the ongoing work on game quality, the developers have implemented key updates to the graphical and audio components.

Graphics improvements

In version 25.7, a new pair of maps will receive HD textures – 'Okinawa' and 'Greece'.

Sound improvement

An important stage of updating the sound of large-caliber artillery fire has been completed. The sounds have become clearer and more realistic, enhancing the overall perception of battle.

Starting the battle on the move becomes standard

The 'Starting the battle on the move' mechanic, previously tested in separate modes, has now been added to all Random and Cooperative battles, excluding 'Escort of airships'. This feature increases the dynamics of the start and makes the beginning of the battle more intense and dynamic.

Early access to French submarines

Fans of the French fleet have long-awaited reinforcements – early access to the branch of French submarines, featuring vehicles of levels 6-10.

The main feature of the branch is the presence of two new types of armaments: thermal torpedoes and smoke shells. The former deal minor damage but have high range and speed, and their uniqueness lies in the fact that, in addition to sinking enemies, they can start fires upon impact.

In the case of smoke shells, there are more differences from other munitions. Primarily, they do not deal damage. Instead, where they land, a smoke screen will appear after a while.

Overhaul of submarines: deeper, more interesting, more accessible

In update 25.7, a large-scale overhaul of the submarine gameplay begins. The aim of the changes is to add more strategic depth, simplify the mastery of submarines, and maintain their effectiveness in battle.

Main new mechanics

  • Acoustic torpedoes and sonar: now to launch an acoustic torpedo, it is necessary to first detect the opponent using sonar. After each launch, sonar must be reused. The damage from acoustic torpedoes has increased significantly.

  • Updated anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capabilities: now ASW remains on the water for a while after deployment and can deal damage to all ships, cause flooding, and destroy torpedoes and mines. The reload time for ASW has been slightly increased.

  • The submarine position system has been revamped: there are now four positions, each with a clear set of characteristics affecting the gameplay capabilities of submarines.

The characteristics of all submarines in the game have been updated, and in some cases, the gameplay concept has been completely reconsidered.

Celebrating Navy Day!

At the end of July, '[World of Ships](/games?search=Мир кораблей)' will celebrate the main naval holiday – Navy Day. In honor of this event, the port of Novorossiysk will be decorated, and the time of day will change to a crimson sunset. The port has received high-detail textures that will remain in the game forever.

The main guest of the holiday will be the battleship 'Red Banner', which will enter the premium container 'Nautical Celebration'. Additionally, a permanent camouflage 'Brilliant' will be added for the ships 'Shcherbakov' and 'Red Banner'.

Event content is available for naval tokens, which can be earned by completing a special chain of combat tasks and through the Admiralty. These tokens will allow players to acquire not only the 'Red Banner' but also other rare ships.

The latest news about 'World of Ships' is available on VK, Telegram, and on the official website of the game.
