Battle Performance Bonuses

Battle performance bonuses are back, and they will work exactly the same as last year's.

Similarly to last year's anniversary, there will be two missions that you can complete playing Tier V ships or above to receive Festive Tokens, which you can exchange for rewards.

The first one tasks you with earning cumulative base XP on a selected ship. The amount of base XP needed to earn a Battle Performance Bonus depends on the tier of the ship you took to battle.

Tier	Base XP
V	200
VI	250
VII	300
VIII	400
IX	500
X	600
Superships	600

The second mission allows you to trigger bonuses for other ships in your Port by earning 1,000 cumulative base XP. After completing the mission, you can claim extra bonuses based on the number of ships you have in your Port, and you can select exactly which ship in your port will claim this bonus after battle.
For example, if you have 80 ships in your port, you could receive 1 bonus for completing the first mission on your selected ship, and an additional 3 bonuses if you complete the second mission, meaning that you can get 4 bonuses if you manage to complete both missions in a single battle. Check the table below for more details:

Port size	Number of additional bonuses
0-24	1
25-49	2
50-99	3
100-199	4
200-399	5
400-599	6
600+	7

All progress counts for both missions, so there is no pressure to do everything in a single battle, and in case you earn more than 1,000 base XP, your progress will be saved.

Festive Rewards

You'll earn Festive Tokens for achieving the Battle Performance Bonuses outlined above. Depending on the Tier of the ship, you will receive different amounts of Festive Tokens (or Steel, in the case of Superships) as a reward.

Tier	Rewards
V	25 Festive Tokens
VI	35 Festive Tokens
VII	50 Festive Tokens
VIII	75 Festive Tokens
IX	100 Festive Tokens
X	125 Festive Tokens
Superships	200 Steel

And now to reveal the rewards that you can earn by obtaining Battle Performance Bonuses for 10th Anniversary!

Blast from the Past Event

In celebration of the 10th Anniversary of World of Warships, we're introducing a new temporary battle type that honors the many special moments we've shared over the years.
This battle type is a walk down memory lane, focusing on surface ship gameplay, as there will be no aircraft carriers or submarines allowed. While it won't be a full return to the game's early days—after all, we wouldn't want to lose the many technical and gameplay improvements made over the years—it will capture the spirit of those earlier experiences.

Blast from the Past is structured into six chapters, each representing a different phase of the game's history. The first five chapters are themed around specific years—2015, 2017, 2019, 2020, and 2022. Each of these chapters will restrict gameplay to only the ships and maps that were available up to that particular year.
The sixth and final chapter will not be tied to any specific year. Instead, it will feature the current full selection of maps and nearly all available ships. However, this phase will introduce a new layer of restrictions, specifically targeting ships equipped with advanced mechanics such as Airstrikes, Burst Fire modes, Combat Instructions, and hybrid ship designs.

Format

• 12 vs 12
• Battleships, cruisers, and destroyers allowed only
• Each team can have:
  
  • Up to 6 Battleships
  • Up to 9 Cruisers
  • Up to 6 Destroyers

• Battles will be fought in Domination and Standard game modes.

Here you can find more information about each chapter of the Blast from the Past:

Chapter	Ship Tiers	Duration	Additional restrictions
Blast from the Past - 2015	V and VI	1 week	N/A
Blast from the Past - 2017	VII and VIII	1 week	N/A
Blast from the Past - 2019	VIII and IX	1 week	N/A
Blast from the Past - 2020	IX and X	1 week	N/A
Blast from the Past - 2022	IX and X	2 weeks	N/A
Blast from the Past	IX and X	2 weeks	Ships with Airstrikes, Burst Fire, Combat Instruction as well as hybrid ships are not allowed.

The Return of Asymmetric Battles

In Update 14.8, Asymmetric Battles is making a comeback and this time around it will stay over 5 months, until the release of Update 15.2!

Popular battle type will return with the classic settings that see 5 players face off against 12 bot ships of lower tiers. Based on our data, we have decided to adjust the Asymmetric Battles for Tier VI-VIII ships and make them easier. However, battles with superships will be more challenging than before. We have also significantly expanded the map pool.

Following is the breakdown of the battle type rules:

• You can play aboard Tier VI-X ships and superships of all types
• The maximum difference of tiers between ships in a single battle is limited to 1 tier
• You can also div up with up to 5 players, with the following limitations:
  
  • Up to 2 battleships
  • Up to 2 cruisers
  • Up to 2 destroyers
  • No more than 1 submarine
  • No more than 1 aircraft carrier
• Bots enter battle without submarines and have a mix of ships that are two tiers lower than tiers represented in the player team. 

Unique commander talents which are connected with Achievements will not be available in Asymmetric Battles.

And that's not all! Stay tuned for even more news about Update 14.8 soon!

Important: All information in this post is preliminary. Announced adjustments and features may change multiple times during testing. The final information will be published on our game's website.
