PVE Scenario

Clan Naval Base
Naval base development provides more bonus: XP bonus +3%; ships' service fee -10%; Credit cost to purchase ships -10%.
Gun Pitch Correction
Guns on some battleships (especially pre-WW2 dreadnoughts) cannot fire at a close-range target due to poor layout. In WoWS, the system will attempt to make arc shot by raising the gun barrels. But sometimes, it goes beyond the elevation limit in history. To correct this, few gun turrets received a limited pitch.
This change will not affect gameplay, however, it may have tiny, minor, subtle side effect on Arkansas, Wyoming, Ishizuchi, Konig Albert, and Kaiser.
Clan Battle
Clan battle is a high competitive mode that displays the worthiness of a clan and its clan members. It is also the main source of clan development resource - oil.
Ladder point (placeholder name) will be introduced to evaluate a clan's effort in clan battle. Clans will be therefore divided into four leagues: Bronze League, Silver League, Gold League, and Platinum League.
Those who are familiar with Team Battle can navigate themselves in clan battle, the rules are basically same. Except that a clan can send multiple divisions into the matchmaking wait list. Divisions from the same clan will not fight each other (matchmaker will not do this). Imagine a fully developed 50-people clan with 49 active players and 7 divisions in queue, SPLENDID!
However, clan battle division CANNOT have players from another clan or no-clan mercenaries.
Pan Asia Destroyer
The regular torpedoes on Pan Asia DDs have been removed. Deepwater torpedoes are the only option they have, at least for now, and they now do the same amount of damage just like regular torpedoes.
Balances
Warships firing inside or around smoke will have a concealment penalty.
IFHE now only have -1% chance of fire penalty for guns of 139mm and below.

So far Long Jiang is looking like a straight up worse version of V-25. And at Tier II there's fewer BBs and more straightlining potatos so not even any benefit to the deep water torps.
Russian routine, Pan Asia and into other stuff.
Sure enough the barrel does not exist, but the player is not going to care about this.
Common torpedo cut…. Also back to normal, who want this kind of mine-not DD's black torpedo…... Concealed what use is high, bright opportunities for mine for thousands of species, water, will play the BB damage control is reserved for water
Pan-Asia scrap
Data on fire punishment in the smoke come out yet?
Worried about DM will suffer……
DM fire punishment seemed farther than radar
8.18km for DesMo.
