Anniversary Menu
In honour of the 7th anniversary of World of Warships, players can expect to complete a new collection called "Seven Seas".
Collectibles can only be obtained from Seven Seas containers, which are themselves available for completing special chains of combat missions as well as in free daily bundles in the Armory. Opening all these containers will be enough to guarantee the full completion of the collection.
The collection consists of 4 sections with 4 items each. The reward for completing each section is 1 day of Premium Account. The reward for completing the entire collection is 3 Distant Voyages containers, a commemorative flag, and an achievement.
Also in honour of the holiday, we've added the following to the game:
- The "Seven Seas" permanent camouflages for Mahan, Eendracht and Sinop;
- Commanders "Master of the Seven Seas" and "Mistress of the Seven Seas".

Festive Rewards
In honour of the 7th anniversary of World of Warships, gifts await players in the form of battle performance bonuses for achieving certain combat results on all their ships, starting from Tier V. But this time we are introducing an important improvement to this feature — the ability to receive several gifts at once in one battle!
If a player has 100 or more ships, they will be able to receive the standard gift for either winning a battle or reaching the 300 Base XP milestone with a certain ship, as well as a variable number of additional rewards for reaching higher Base XP thresholds.
The number of bonus gifts a player gets at the end of a battle depends on how many ships they have in their port and the amount of experience earned. For example, a player with more than 300 ships in the port will be able to earn 4 gifts in one battle: 1 for going into battle on a ship and 3 gifts for performance in battle.
As in previous iterations of the mechanic, you cannot receive the same rewards for the same ship more than once.
For example, after achieving 1200 BXP or higher in one battle while you have 500+ ships in port, you will be able to select 5 additional stars to clear off of other ships of your choosing and receive those rewards.
Gifts Table
Below is a table with the conditions for receiving additional gifts.
| Ships in port | Condition for receiving the standard gift | Number of bonus gifts | Condition for receiving bonus gifts |
| 0-99 | 1 victory or earn at least 300 Base XP in one battle | - | - |
| 100-199 | 1 | Earn at least 400 Base XP in one battle | |

Depending on the Tier of the ship, you will receive various rewards, including new containers with economic bonuses:
- for Tier V-VII ships – 1 "Special bonuses" container;
- for Tier VIII-IX ships – 1 "Special bonuses" container and 1 "Rare bonuses" container;
- for Tier X ships and superships - 1 "Supercontainer".
New containers with economic bonuses have been added to the game.

Updated Operations
In Update 0.11.8, we have updated all Operations in our game so that players can participate in operations on more of their favourite ships and earn valuable rewards for it.
Now, Tier VI-VIII ships will be able to go into battle together at the same time, and the final composition of the team going in will affect the strength of the bots and post-match earnings. In addition, the fee for re-entering the battle on the same ship will be removed.
The economics of Operations will also change. Previously, after completing an Operation, a player earned a variable number of stars based on performance, the rewards for which could only be received once. Now, the stars will be removed entirely, and rewards can instead be earned by completing special daily and weekly combat missions specifically designed for Operations, which will give Community Tokens as a reward.
Together with the update of the mode itself, three operations will return in Update 0.11.8: "The Ultimate Frontier", "Hermes," and "Cherry Blossom".
In Update 0.11.8, there will no longer be an operation of the week. When playing with a matchmaker-selected team, the Operation scenario itself will be randomly selected. It will, however, still be possible to independently choose which scenario you play when entering as part of a division.
Reload Mechanics Changes
The reloading mechanics when switching shell type have changed.
Now, when switching shell type while the “Gun Feeder” Commander skill is active, the loading of the new shell type will be accelerated even if not all main battery guns have finished loading, as the skill required previously.
Now, shells have a new parameter — shell change time.
- If the current reload time of the gun is higher than this parameter - the shell type switch won't affect the gun reload time.
- If the current reload time is less than the shell change time, then when switching shell type, the reload time will become equal to the shell change time.
The "Gun Feeder" skill bonus to projectile change time has itself been changed from -50% to -40%. The shell change time will be displayed in the ship parameters.
For example, let's take a gun with a base reload time of 30 seconds. With the “Gun Feeder” skill, the shell change time is 18 seconds.
- If the gun has 20 seconds left to reload, then when switching shell type, the reload time will still be 20 seconds.
- If the gun has 5 seconds left, then switching shell type, reloading will take 18 seconds.
This mechanic is applied to each turret separately.
In addition, all researchable Italian battleships will receive a built-in -30% bonus to shell type switch time, which will work even without using the "Gun Feeder" skill. When using the skill, the bonus will additionally increase.
The frequent alternation between both available shell types is an important part of Italian battleship gameplay. An additional bonus will emphasize this feature and additionally increase the effectiveness of the "Gun Feeder" skill in comparison with the battleships of other nations.
Brawls
The distribution of Divisions between teams in the current session of Brawls (12 vs. 12 aboard battleships) is not working correctly. Therefore, WG have decided to temporarily disable the ability to join Brawls as part of a division. This will apply to all remaining Brawl sessions in Update 0.11.8.
WG will notify you as soon as the issue has been solved.
In Update 0.11.8, 4 Brawls will take place in the following formats:
- First Brawl - September 9-12:
- 3v3 on Tier VIII aircraft carriers.
- Second Brawl - September 12-19:
- 12v12 on Tier VIII battleships.
- Third Brawl - September 19-26:
- 12 vs 12 on Tier VIII cruisers.
- Fourth Brawl - September 26 - October 3:
- 12v12 on Tier VIII destroyers.
- 12v12 on Tier VIII destroyers.
