Over the years of World of Warships evolving, WG has identified challenges in player progression at lower tiers. Based on feedback from players in these tiers, WG has introduced a series of changes to create a smoother transition from Tier I to Tier VI while making ships in this range more comfortable to play.

To achieve this, WG has made targeted adjustments to Tech Tree progression, including increased turret traverse speed, improved engine acceleration, and refined shell ballistics where necessary. Additionally, several gameplay adjustments have been implemented to enhance the quality of life and experience for ships of these tiers. Battleships now have improved accuracy, and Cruisers benefit from reduced reload times. However, to maintain fairness, the shell damage of affected ships has been adjusted to prevent excessive effectiveness.

In addition, certain mechanics have been disabled at lower tiers to streamline the learning process. This adjustment should help newer players focus on core gameplay fundamentals, allowing them to develop their skills more gradually and effectively.

All Tier II ships:

• Main battery armament changed to only contain one shell type. Mikasa, Tachibana, Tachibana L, as well as ships that already had access to only one shell type, have not been affected by this change.

All Tier I-III ships:

• Main battery & Torpedo launchers can no longer be disabled or destroyed.
• Engine & Steering Gears can no longer be disabled.

All Tier II-V Battleships, Cruisers, and Destroyers:

Acceleration parameters improved. These improvements are designed to provide a significant bonus to ships at lower tiers, which steadily gets smaller with every subsequent tier. This is done to make the progression from Tier I with small, close-ranged maps to higher tiers smoother. Additionally, the decreasing acceleration bonuses should go largely unnoticed, as ships generally become faster with each tier, ensuring a smooth transition.
