For your successes in battle, you'll get Allowance Tokens that can be exchanged for special containers in the Armory, which in turn provide you with a chance to gain early access to Soviet battleships. These even offer an opportunity to get your hands on Tier VII Soviet cruiser Lazo! In this article, we'll tell you about all of the features and peculiarities of the new event.
Attention: In Update 0.8.4 your participation in the competition will be rewarded with Provision Tokens instead of Allowance Tokens.
We are midway through the first stage of the friendly “Victory” competition, with two teams—Honor and Glory—competing daily for valuable rewards and places on the Wall of Valor. So, we’ve prepared a special video for you. Discover how Dasha spent her Allowance Tokens, and much more.
WHICH TEAM TO CHOOSE?
Each day you’ll choose one of the following teams:
- Team Honor values the great traditions of the Soviet Navy. Join the team and fight fearlessly for justice!
- Team Glory triumphantly copes with all missions. Join the team and write your own legend into history alongside the heroic deeds of Soviet sailors!
Having chosen your team, you’ll be taken to a version of Black Sea Port that will be painted in the colors of your team.
The competition starts: Fri. 26 Apr. 04:00 CEST (UTC+2)
Prepare your ships, mount signals and camouflages, and head into battle to fight alongside your brothers-in-arms, then earn the points that will deliver your victory! Each day, the team with most points, wins.
The crediting of points is put on hold one hour prior to the beginning of the next competition day. Battles fought after this time will not be taken into account.
HOW TO EARN POINTS
Earning points is what will cause your team to prevail in the daily competition. Each day the results are summed up and players from the winning team who earned at least 1 point receive 4 Allowance Tokens. These can be spent in the Armory.
So, how can you earn them? It's very simple—just fight on your favorite Tier V-X ships in Operations, Co-op, Random, Ranked, and Clan Battles.

Please note, the rules of the competition available in the game client display an incorrect number for points awarded per star for each victorious battle in Operations.
In addition to the team rating, the competition will also have a personal rating: the "My Contribution" section has all of the information about team results, your personal achievements, and daily rewards. The more points you earn, the more tokens you get!
PERSONAL ORDERS
You might receive a personal order during Random and Co-op Battles. If you complete this, you'll earn additional points. The exact requirements of the order will depend on your ship.
Please note: an order can only be completed during the battle in which you received it in. Progress is not saved.
The order itself and progress towards it are displayed directly in battle or can be found under the Tasks tab accessed by pressing Tab.
BALANCING OF TEAM POINTS
Each day of the competition represents a separate Stage. The team with the most points per day wins the Stage. The following day, tasks for their personal rating will become harder for the winning team, and the rewards more valuable.
The losing team, however, always gets the normal difficulty level for their personal rating the following day.
At the same time, the losing team will receive a modifier that gets applied to the points they earn the next day, helping them to close the gap quicker. Bear in mind that this modifier is applied only to team points and doesn't have any effect on personal rating or the Wall of Valor.
In total, there are four difficulty levels:

Example: Team Honor wins the first day of the competition. The next day, players who choose to join this team will see the difficulty level for their personal rating rise to "Hard." Accordingly, in order to receive the maximum reward for their personal rating, they need to score 1,500 points instead of 500.
The difficulty level doesn't change for Team Glory, they still need to earn 500 points in order to get the maximum reward for their personal rating. At the same time, the number of points they earn for their team grows by 25%. So, if you enter a Random Battle in a Tier X ship and destroy 3 ships (60 points), receive a heroic achievement (160 points), and win (80 points), you will be awarded 300 points for your personal rating and 375 points (300+25%) for the team rating.
If Team Glory wins this day, the difficulty level for them rises to "Hard", while Team Honor's difficulty level returns to "Normal'.
WALL OF VALOR
The Wall of Valor shows your achievements and enables you to compare your progress against the results of the Top-100 players.
The more points you've obtained and the higher your position on the Wall of Valor; the more tokens you get for the Armory at the end of the day.
The Wall of Valor is updated daily, and the final results become available as soon as a competition day ends. In the upper part of the table, you can select a particular day and see its results.
Wall of Valor after a competition day Allowance Tokens Total
Top 5% 4 16 + 4 = 20
Top 10% 4 12 + 4 = 16
Top 25% 4 8 + 4 = 12
Top 50% 4 4 + 4 = 8
All active participants 4 4
Put simply, you'll get Allowance Tokens for:
- The victory of your team in the current competition day—4 tokens.
- The number of points you earn for your personal rating—from 8 to 121 tokens per day, depending on the difficulty level.
- Wall of Honor's final results for a competition day—from 4 to 20 tokens
WILL TO VICTORY
By playing for one of the teams for 15 days in total, you'll receive a reward for loyalty to that team—a commemorative patch and flag. It's not necessary to stay with one team all days in a row. You are free to select a team depending on your preferences and difficulty level. Thus, you can earn rewards for playing on both teams if you wish.
By playing for either of the teams for a total of 20 days, you'll receive a commemorative patch and the "Victory" competition flag.
RULES
You can always consult the latest edition of the competition rules on a special tab in the event screen. There you’ll find a general description of the event, information regarding team balance, your personal progress, details on the Wall of Valor, an explanation of the loyalty and Will to Victory mechanics, and the rules for summing up the results of a day.
ARMORY
You can exchange any Allowance Tokens that you earn during the competition in the corresponding section of the Armory.
- Soviet Premium cruiser
VII Lazo! - This Soviet Project 68 light cruiser has large dimensions and carries a formidable main battery that comprises twelve 152 mm guns. Lazo is well suited to long-range engagements. She excels at exchanging fire over long distances due to the trademark features of her Soviet artillery, and through utilizing the specific parameters of her Spotting Aircraft consumable. There are just a couple of Tier VII ships that can hold this cruiser accountable for her boldness.
- The special "Victory Banner" permanent camouflage for Soviet ships
VIII Vladivostok, 
VIII Chapayev, 
VIII Ognevoi, VIII Kiev—500 tokens. - The expendable "Victory" camouflage—12 tokens.
- "Soviet Era" containers with a chance to get a combat mission granting early access to Soviet battleships—30 tokens.
- 3 days of Warships Premium Account—200 tokens.
- Various signals—the number of tokens required depends on the signal type.
Additionally, you can spend doubloons in the Armory to get hold of Soviet Era Premium containers. These come with a lavish amount of in-game loot and carry a high chance of unlocking early access to Soviet battleships.
You can view the full contents of the new Armory section in the game client.
SOVIET BATTLESHIPS
One of the most pleasant features of the "Victory" competition is the chance it offers to players to be among the first to try out the Soviet battleships, an entire month before their release and introduction to the Tech Tree. "Soviet Era" containers can drop a combat mission that will reward you with one of these ships: V Pyotr Velikiy, VI Izmail, VII Sinop, VIII Vladivostok.
V Pyotr Velikiy, VI Izmail, VII Sinop, VIII Vladivostok.
These missions are very simple. To get a Tier V ship, you'll need to earn 10,000 Base XP in Operations, Random, Co-op, Ranked, or Clan Battles. For Tier VI—12,000 XP; Tier VII—14,000 XP; and to obtain Vladivostok you'll need to earn 16,000 XP.
As soon as you complete the mission, the corresponding battleship will arrive in your Port together with a 3-point Commander, a Port slot, and all modules researched and purchased.
You can complete these missions until June 24.
Please note: in Update 0.8.3 you can't research the next ship in the branch and a single account can get each combat mission only once.
How do Soviet battleships differ from their counterparts?
The concept of Soviet battleships presupposes an aggressive playstyle and engagements at close and medium distances.
- Their main battery guns have good accuracy at close and medium distances, but as a trade-off they suffer from having the worst shell dispersion at long distances among all same-type ships. The accuracy of these battleships changes more dramatically with distance than it does for their counterparts.
- Powerful guns with decent armor penetration only reinforce the role of Soviet battleships as capable close-quarters brawlers. At Tiers IX and X they have turrets with high rotation speeds and convenient traverse angles, allowing you to quickly get your bearings in battle and react to any emerging threat in a timely fashion.
- Good armor that’s especially effective against high-explosive shells is another advantage, tipping the balance in favor of offensive tactics. Sailing at an acute angle will allow you to confidently advance while deflecting enemy shells.
- Another asset helping these ships survive in close-quarters engagements is the "Damage Control Party" consumable with some special settings, namely a quick reload time that will come in useful for high-intensity situations. However, pay close attention to one unusual feature: this consumable has only a limited number of charges.
- Despite having a rather large turning circle, Soviet battleships can easily carry out accurate maneuvers in the heat of battle and profit from their specific armor layout thanks to their quick rudder-shift times.
The new Soviet ships are quite unusual and differ from battleships of other nations. Keeping their peculiarities in mind, you'll need to review your conventional approach to the game. In return, the ships that form this new branch will reward you for skillfully working with the advantages they offer.
This is only the first part of the event that’s coming in Update 0.8.3. So hold tight, we have even more exciting things in store for you!
Select a team, fight, and earn rewards! The Soviet battleships await you!
