0.8.9 Italian Cruisers, Directives, Containers and Tokens To World of Warships

0.8.9 Welcomes Tier V-VIII Italian Cruisers To the Game

ITALIAN CRUISERS
The main feature of Update 0.8.9 is the chance that it offers to be among the first to try out the researchable Italian Tier V–VIII ships. But what makes Italian cruisers so special?

The newcomers are notable for their manoeuvrability and powerful 203 mm guns with heavyweight broadside salvos on Tier VI cruisers and higher. The unique features of Italian cruisers include:

Semi-armour-piercing (SAP) shells

and the Exhaust Smoke Generator consumable.

In this Update, players will be able to unlock early access to Tier V–VIII Italian Cruisers.
