October Digest #6 - bonus

 Update 14.10

Temporal Rift

Saw these games on public server streams by YT streamers. Yes, missile are definitely coming to this game. Showcasing this through the Temporal Rift event. Faster firing vessels on bigger maps. Loads of detail about this new battle mode for which I am not interested in exploring. 

Black Friday 2025

Summarising quickly. May skip or omit finer details. But the gist is as follows:

Return of several ships in Black Friday colours - Puerto Rico B, Rhode Island B, Neustashimy B, Karl XIV Johan B, Schill B to name the more noted vessels. You can get them through the two kinds of containers, one premium. And through various ways - armoury, bundles, or cash.  

Other ships - Alaska B, Massachusetts B, Jean Bart B and Asashio B - can only be bought with cash. 

Smolensk B is only available via auction. 

Shinonome B will be the halfway reward in Event Pass. 

Polish Navy Day

New ship: Blyskawica '52. In line with this new arrival, there is the opportunity to earn new camo (wow, really pushing the camo thing - look, mum, pretty colours that do nothing, can I have it?)

Other new ships

Mostly for clans. Ovasen (based on Smaland), PTRPVLSK (based on Petropavlovsk), and Wahnsinn (copying Zeiten). 

Supership buffs

Yeah, not interested but improvements on the new French Tier X submarine Surcouf. 

European Battleship line

Seven ships. Starting at Tier VI: Yavuz Sultan Selim, Chios, Enighteten, Gustav den Store, Thor. Tier V Tegetthoff and Tier VI Laudon to be added later. 

There has been gimmicks associated with these ships many of which are historical (WW1 and interwar period) - low detectability, good speed, small HP, good armour, etc.

In line with this introduction, there will be associated premiums - Tier VIII battleship Turgut Reis, Italian cruiser Tier IX Messina.

Permanent camo 

For both Lanzhou and Nurnberg '44. 

Commonwealth Unique Commander

Finally! 

John Augustine Collins. Australian. 

When placed on aircraft carriers "Aircraft Amour" is continuous AA damage reduction of 12.5% instead of 10%. 

When employed on other surface ships, his "Adrenaline Rush" reduces reload time on all armaments per 1% of HP lost of -0.25% instead of -0.2%

His unique talents are:

• "Rise and Fight Again" activates only once per battle whenever ship HP drops to 10% and provides 2% per second healing for five seconds.
• "Tria Juncta in Uno" (lol - tripe whenever they use fancy language) triggers thrice whenever dealing 60,000 damage, increasing ships speed by 2% and consumables by 5%.

No portrait yet but I found this decent formal portrait.
