ST - "Axis vs Allies" Battles 12 v 12 Tier VIII Closed Testing

ST - "Axis vs Allies" Battles 12 v 12 Tier VIII Closed Testing

In the near future, WG will conduct a closed test for a new battle type inspired by real-world naval battles. In the new "Axis vs Allies" battle, you will be able to fight only in ships that were completed in reality and in teams that are composed depending on each ship's nationality.

Rules

Depending on the ship picked a player gets into one of two teams:

Axis: Italian, German, and Japanese ships
Allies: American, British, French, Soviet, European, and Pan-Asian ships.

The battles will be conducted in a "12 vs 12" format on Tier VIII ships. Only ships that were built in reality, as well as their in-game counterparts (such as Black, ARP, Azur Lane ships and etc.) are allowed to enter battle. If you dislike the appearance of camouflages of counterpart-ships, you can switch their display off using a special filter in the Port.

List of allowed ships:

Axis

Allies

You can participate in "Axis vs Allies" battles in a division, but if ships corresponding to both historical teams are picked, you won't be able to go into battle.

Teams won't necessarily mirror each other in all ship types, with the exception of aircraft carriers: their number in each team will be equal and strictly fixed - no more than one per team. The difference in the number of other ship types will be no more than one.

If the waiting time spent by the first player in the queue exceeds 3 minutes, teams might be filled with bots with improved AI, mastered commander's skills, and mounted camouflages and signals.

Please note! that all information in the development blog is preliminary. Announced adjustments and features may change multiple times during testing. The final information will be published on our game's website.

Warhammer Battleship VIII Ragnarok 1919

The vessel is immeasurably ancient—a relic of days long forgotten. It was built in the shipyards orbiting a world of proud and fearsome warriors. Though the citizens adhered to the Imperial creed and paid their tithes, secret cabals on the planet’s surface worshipped Khorne, the Lord of Rage. These cults were strong. They were hated. They were outnumbered. At the appointed hour they rose up and tried to overthrow their loyalist masters. They failed. They were defeated in a long bloody war and all, to a man, perished in flames. Their name was erased from history. But the fickle whims of the Warp decreed that their vengeful spirits would forever haunt the vessel Ragnarok, whose hull was being constructed in the docks above the planet’s surface. The furious spirits invaded the hull and ensured the vessel served none but the Ruinous Powers. To this day the Ragnarok and all aboard her cry, "Vengeance! Death! Blood for the Blood God!"

	Ruinous Powers Flag The Followers of Chaos are the harbingers of the apocalypse that threatens the galaxy.
	The Chaos Star Patch The iconic symbol of Chaos, representing the divided nature of the Ruinous Powers.
	Commander Arthas Roqthar the Cold

Ignis Purgatio Tier VIII Warhammer 40,000 Empire Battleship Stats

Warhammer Battleship VIII Ignis Purgatio 1919

Originally designed for a Naval mission of whose purpose now long forgotten, "Ignis Purgatio" was lost during the Horus Heresy. After missing for almost a millennium, the ship was rediscovered on one of the Frontier worlds in the Jericho Reach. Though clearly a warship, it was put to use as a transport by its new, uncouth masters who failed to recognise its true potential. After undergoing intensive repairs and cleansing its quarters of its previous inhabitants, Ignis Purgatio was eventually returned to service in Imperial Navy and since it has become an essential component of Battlefleet Solar. Once again, she acts as a fearsome guard dog for humanity and, by proxy, the Emperor Himself.

	Imperium of Man Flag A galaxy-spanning interstellar human empire, ruled by a living god, the Emperor of Mankind.
	The Navis Imperialis Patch Granted to those Champions of Chaos who have proved themselves worthy in the eyes of the Blood God Khorne.
