Holiday Convoy

Update 15.7 kicks off Holiday Convoy, a long-running seasonal event spanning six Updates that keeps the rewards coming all the way to the New Year and beyond.

11 Rare, epic, and legendary ships are up for grabs, including returning favorites Bismarck '41, Kitakami, and Independencia, plus new arrivals Rodina, Tōgasa, Latouche-Tréville, and New Jersey.
Earn Holiday Convoy Tokens through daily combat missions, or convert your Steel, Research Points, and Coal—choose your own pace and path to the rewards you want most.
Trade Tokens for up to 18,000 Doubloons in total, with a 3,000 Doubloon pack available during each Update.
Head to the Update Navigator in Port to track your progress and spend your Tokens on rewards.

Early Access to Pan-American Destroyers

The first Pan-American destroyer branch sails into Early Access with Update 15.7—eight artillery-focused ships built for punishing anyone showing broadside.

AP-only main guns with excellent ricochet angles, backed by a Main Battery Reload Booster from Tier VI and Combat Instructions from Tier VIII.
Weak, short-range torpedoes, smaller HP pools, and slower upper tiers are offset by branch-wide access to an enhanced Repair Party.
Get three of these destroyers for free: two through Armory bundles and one in the free track of the Update 15.7 Event Pass.
New Premium cruiser Almirante Irízar and two new Pan-American Commanders round out the Early Access lineup.

Pan-American Destroyers Event Pass

Update 15.7's Event Pass is dedicated to the Pan-American destroyers, letting you earn two more of them alongside other themed rewards.

The first progression line includes Tier V destroyer Antioquia, plus the Brazilian and Mayan Mystery permanent camouflages.
Unlock the second line for 2,500 Doubloons to immediately receive Pan-American Commander José Padilla López.
Further rewards include Tier VII destroyer Marcílio Dias, Tier VI Premium destroyer Juruá, and 2x Lavender Fudge permanent camouflages.

Aircraft Carriers and AA Update

Update 15.7 reworks anti-aircraft gameplay and gives aircraft carriers new ways to support their team.

Priority Sector is replaced by AA Defense Priority, a full 360-degree AA boost available to every ship—just press "O" or "~" to activate it.
Long-press the same key to unleash Concentrated AA Fire, a charge-up mechanic that deals extra damage to enemy squadrons and discourages repeated attacks on the same target.
Defensive AA Fire is replaced by Auxiliary and Torpedo Weaponry Coordination, which also boosts secondary gun damage and speeds up Airstrike and torpedo reloads.
Two new Targeted Tactical Consumables—Firefighting Assistance and Repair Assistance—let select aircraft carriers extinguish allied fires or heal allies from the air.

Rarity System Update and Legendary Economic Bonuses

The Rarity system keeps expanding, and expendable economic bonuses now reach the top tier.

Patches, flags, and decals all receive rarity grades, ranging from common up to the exclusive legendary tier.
New Legendary economic bonuses grant up to +480% Credits, +2,400% Ship XP, +2,400% Commander XP, and +7,200% Free XP.
Epic Free XP bonuses drop to +4,800% but convert automatically into Exchange Tokens, redeemable 1:1 for legendary bonuses of your choice.

New Brawls

Update 15.7 adds three new Brawls to the game.

The first pits 4v4 Tier X battleships, cruisers, and destroyers against each other with drastically shorter consumable cooldowns, longer smoke duration, and a bigger Engine Boost bonus.

New Collection and Unique Commander Pascual Cervera y Topete

Spain gets its first Unique Commander with the new Battle of Santiago de Cuba historical collection.

Complete the 60-element collection to recruit Commander Pascual Cervera y Topete, who commanded a Spanish squadron at the 1898 Battle of Santiago de Cuba.
Collection elements drop from Battle of Santiago de Cuba Premium containers, which can also drop new Tier IX Premium battleship Triunfante.
Grab Triunfante directly at the end of a sequential Armory bundle stacked with collection containers.

This is just the beginning, so dive into Update 15.7 and experience everything firsthand. Read the full update article here:
