- The Dockyard opens for French Tier IX battleship Roussillon, featuring high accuracy, excellent ballistics, and a long reload time. She's equipped with the Main Battery Reload Booster consumable and has a weak hull, so she favors long-range engagements. Engine Boost allows her to rapidly reposition.

[h2]Operation Matchmaker Update[/h2]
We’ve fine-tuned matchmaking to facilitate more balanced battles.
