Special Features of the Test
You can participate in Asymmetric Battles on the Public Test Server! They will be available between the following times: 06:00–05:00 UTC.
Starting with Update 12.5, it will be possible to set restrictions for ship types and specific ships in each league in Ranked Battles. These restrictions can be changed during the course of a season.
To test these changes, a special season of Ranked Battles will be held on the Public Test Server. Battles in all leagues will be fought with Tier X ships of all types. Teams will consist of three to six players, depending on the number of players in queue. Ranked Battles will be available on the Public Test Server between the following times: 00:00–23:30 UTC.
Please note: Due to the technicalities of the Public Test, ship restrictions don't apply to bots in Ranked Battles on the Public Test Server.
From the start of Ranked Battles on the Public Test server, it will not be possible to enter battles aboard 
X Shikishima. On July 2, at 14:00 UTC the restriction on X Shikishima will be removed, but submarines and 
X Louisiana will become banned from participating in this battle type, and the limit on the number of players in teams will be changed to 2–5, depending on the number of players in the queue. With these new restrictions, ranked battles will continue until the end of the 12.5 Public Test.
