0.10.5 Grand Battle Satsuma and Hannover - Guide - Times and Dates

Update 0.10.5 brings a new temporary battle type, the "Grand Battle." Its unique feature is the super battleships it allows you to helm.

The destruction of legendary battleship Yamato by aircraft carriers presaged the domination of deck aviation in naval warfare. Super battleships are the ships that might have existed if shipbuilding had moved toward the development of main batteries as the primary decisive factor of battle.

How to Take the Super Battleships Into Battle

Once Update 0.10.5 is live, you will receive Satsuma and Hannover as rental ships.

To enter a battle at one of their helms, you will need a new temporary resource—Intelligence Reports. This way, you will both play super battleships and play against them. It will also help the matchmaker assemble teams for battles faster.

There are several ways to earn Intelligence Reports:

• You can earn 3 Intelligence Reports per Grand Battle playing Tier IX and X ships. Active players will receive them regardless of a victory or defeat. However, you won't get any Reports if you're inactive in battle.
• After the release of Update 0.10.5, you'll get Intelligence Reports each day on your first login—19 Reports the first time, then 3 Reports daily.

You'll need 14 Reports to take a super battleship into battle. It means that you'll have enough Reports to take one of the super battleships into battle as soon as the update releases. Satsuma and Hannover themselves don't earn any Intelligence Reports from battles.

Please note that the number of Intelligence Reports you can earn in a battle, as well as the number of Reports that's necessary to play a super battleship, might change.{alertInfo}

Adjustment Fire

When playing the super battleships, you can try a new game mechanic—adjustment fire. It grants a temporary boost to the super battleships' characteristics in battle. Satsuma receives a bonus to the accuracy of her main battery; Hannover receives a bonus to the range, accuracy, and reload time of her secondary battery.

• To activate the bonuses, you need to fill a special meter by carrying out adjustment fire at any locked target. Each turret salvo that hits a target or splashes near it is taken into account.

• As soon as the meter fills, the temporary bonus activates automatically. You can use it an unlimited number of times in a battle.

• If your ship ceases firing for a certain amount of time, the progress of the adjustment fire meter gradually resets. It doesn't reset while the bonus is active.

The new mechanic allows you to reinforce your ship right in the heat of battle, but you'll need to plan your actions and positioning in advance to use this feature to maximum effect. We hope that it will make the gameplay more interesting and diverse!
