IMPORTANT! Because the update is still being tested, the information in this article is tentative and reflects the state of game development at the time of its publication. Some changes and new features may be removed entirely or implemented differently by the time the update goes live.

[h2]Unbreakable Line[/h2]


Update 14.3 introduces a new temporary battle type featuring a novel mechanic in World of Warships: respawning! It means that when your ship gets destroyed, you'll be spared a trip back to Port and will be sent back into action aboard the same ship you sailed into battle.

Format:

• 7v7
  
• Tier VIII and IX; battleships, cruisers, and destroyers
  
• Maximum battle duration: 15 minutes
  
• Battles take place on maps of reduced size
  

[h2]Blücher at the Dockyard[/h2]


Historical German cruiser Blücher will soon be available to construct at the Dockyard! The ship stands out for her deadly accuracy and strong AP shell performance, which together help her tear through enemy broadsides like a can opener.

The ship's construction consists of 20 Dockyard phases; 18 of these will be completable through in-game combat missions. Individual phases can be purchased for Doubloons, and as usual, there are two starter pack options to get a head start.

At Phase 8, you'll pick up Commonwealth cruiser Gambia as an intermediate reward. Unlike her sister ship Fiji, Gambia has access to HE shells and Short-Burst Smoke Generator, making her a brutal combatant against enemy battleships.



[h2]Efficiency Badges[/h2]


With Update 14.3, you'll be able to earn Efficiency Badges as a mark of personal pride for your performance aboard individual ships. After each Random Battle you finish, the Base XP you earned is tracked and compared against the recent average performance of other players globally aboard the same ship that you just played. Depending on how well you performed in comparison to your fellow players, you can receive an Efficiency Badge with one of four ranks.

You can view the Efficiency Badges for each of your ships in your profile summary, as well as on the post-battle statistics screen for the ship you sailed into battle. Only the highest-ranked badge for each of your ships will be displayed, meaning that if you upgrade a badge, it will replace the old one.
