Keeping with the best traditions of the series, World of Warships will offer a straightforward interface, easy-to-use controls, and a common economic system that will allow players to distribute resources between the three games for the ultimate progress in each of them.

The large assortment of available warships will give various tactical opportunities, as all the machines have a unique combination of firepower, speed, armor, and endurance.

Various naval maps with changing weather conditions will enrich the gameplay, and the realistic graphics will transport players into the epic battles that changed the course of human history.

Wargaming is bringing a packed Spring update with a legendary United States warship dropping anchor in a new dockyard. That’s right, the USS Wisconsin finally makes her way into the virtual seas! Kicking off with a special stream Wargaming will also be partnering with Nauticus in Norfolk, VA to celebrate the real USS Wisconsin’s 80th Commissioning Anniversary.

The USS Wisconsin Debuts

Coinciding with the 80th anniversary of the legendary ship’s launch, the USS Wisconsin debuts as a Tier X battleship in World of Warships. Joining her sister ships the USS Iowa and USS Missouri, this warship boasts great accuracy, high speed, and access to consumables like Spotter or Fighter Planes and defensive AA fire.

This new addition to the World of Warships arsenal can be obtained via a brand new Dockyard campaign in mid-April where players will earn rewards along the way, including an additional opportunity to earn the Tier VII West Virginia ‘44 Battleship for those who may have missed out on her last summer.

This Dockyard campaign will last through update 13.6 so players will have plenty of time to earn the USS Wisconsin along with many other rewards!

Nauticus Celebrates the Big Wisky’s 80th

In tandem with the dockyard in-game event, Nauticus, a Maritime Discovery Center in Norfolk, VA, will be hosting a celebration during the month of April for the USS Wisconsin’s 80th Commissioning Anniversary. World of Warships will be sponsoring complimentary tickets for active duty and veteran service members as part of this anniversary, in addition to discounted tickets for dependents.
