Experiment With New Experimental Ships
From now until August 2025, you'll have free rein to play around with some quirky new ships subject to quirky new mechanics. For now, in Update 14.2, you can unlock and play cruisers Metz, Oregon, and Vyazma.
These three ships have access to what we're calling "Fight or Flight"—a mechanic where your ship becomes stronger the more damage it takes. The trio also has access to a limited stockpile of AP shells with improved characteristics that can be fired using Burst Fire mode.
You can unlock experimental ships by researching their components in exchange for a combination of Credits and Action Reports, the latter of which are obtainable via special combat missions.

Dive Back Into Operations with Flagships
Back by popular demand, Operations with Flagships have received a few tweaks in Update 14.2 to make them that much more engaging.
Now, three enemy bot flagships of two different types with different effects and vulnerabilities await you on the battlefield. The flagships will be randomly selected, and you'll see which ones you'll be up against at the start of the battle.
You can now also equip one Classified Document per battle to customize your ship's capabilities against certain ship types, working both against ordinary bots and the flagships themselves. This special mechanic will make your ship more effective in encounters with specific enemies.
All details about the tweaks to this battle type can be found via this link:

Discover a New Branch of Soviet Submarines in Early Access
Three new submarines—S-1, L-20, and K-1—make up the latest branch of the Soviet Tech Tree, which is now available to play in Early Access.
- These subs make use of capable unguided torpedoes to deal the bulk of their damage.
- They enjoy good surface speed but lack the agility and dive capacity for frequent underwater escapades.
- The trio can be of great help to their allies, as they have access to the Submarine Surveillance consumable with a long range.
All three submarines are available in sequential bundles in the Armory, purchasable for Soviet Tokens. You can obtain the Tokens by completing combat missions or purchasing random bundles.
