Plue, there are submarines on the horizon. Update 0.8.8 for World of Warships brings two new battleships into the, err, battle - with the Tier X British Thunderer and American Ohio. Alongside plenty of anniversary rewards, including super containers for your first victory aboard a Tier X ship, and an overhaul to the sound system.

Which was already impressive so we're keen to see, or hear, what that's all about. First wins on lower a Tier ship, for those still new to the game like us, will net you an exclusive Anniversary camouflage. Plus new combat missions to tackle.

Here's a breakdown of the festivities.



And some more info on the two new battleships - the British Thunderer and the American Ohio battleships.

The Thunderer is an alternative take on its close cousin, the Conqueror, and sports 457 mm guns with very high shell damage, have a good accuracy and a fast reload time. The new British battleship comes with a less effective Repair party consumable than that of the Conqueror, but will be able to use it once more than its sister-ship.

The American Ohio battleship features eight 457 mm guns and powerful secondary armament. This, combined with a shorter reload on the Repair Party consumable, as well as its decent armour make the Ohio a well-suited ship for close to medium range.

A special anniversary stream is also coming this weekend, Saturday September 21 at 0200 AEDT, via the World of Warships YouTube channel - with giveaways and a sneak peek at what's in store.
