ROKS Jang Yeong-sil submarine

T3, available in the free part of the Battle Pass.

Armament:

1. Missile battery (ASM/SLBM) — RUM-139 Swarmer [2x1]
2. Missile battery (ASM) — RUM-139 Swarmer [2x1]
3. Torpedo launcher — Mark 48 (533 mm) [3x1]

Features:

A modern diesel-electric submarine developed in South Korea. Its lithium-ion propulsion system allows it to remain submerged for extended periods without surfacing and achieve high speeds. This also significantly reduces the submarine's noise level and acoustic signature. Its arsenal includes a double multirole slot for cruise or ballistic missiles, a dual slot for conventional missiles, and a triple slot for torpedoes. Fully interchangeable armament allows for a highly customized playstyle.

Bomber XB-70 Valkyrie

T3, available in the VIP Battle Pass.

Features:

The famous prototype of the US supersonic deep-penetration strategic bomber. The aircraft features a canard configuration with a thin delta wing and twin vertical stabilizers, which, together with six turbojet engines, allows it to reach supersonic speeds. It carries XAGM-48A Skybolt nuclear missiles, designed for the priority destruction of surface targets at long ranges. It also carries two types of bombs: the AGM-62 Walleye II ERDL medium-range aerial bombs with a television guidance system, which are guided to targets beyond the pilot's line of sight, and the GBU-57B MOP heavy glide bombs with area damage. The "Valkyrie" bears its fearsome name for a reason — the combined firepower of this bomber will keep surface targets of any size at bay!

Strike Fighter FS 2020

T3, available in the VIP Battle Pass.

Features:

The Swedish Air Force's fifth-generation low-observable strike fighter. It is a highly maneuverable variant of Swedish aircraft, featuring stealth technology and modern armament, including unique developments. The aircraft's extensive arsenal begins with the Oerlikon KCA FS (30 mm) multipurpose revolver cannon with lightweight projectiles, capable of engaging both surface and aerial targets. Long-range SEA BREAKER unguided missiles are excellent against surface targets, paired with KEPD 350K-FS cluster munitions. A Bofors M70FS UAM (135 mm) unguided rocket pod is available for underwater targets, while the RBS 70 multipurpose, fast-reloading system enhances the aircraft's ability to neutralize enemy aircraft. A distinctive feature of this aircraft is the fully automated Nimbrix mini-missile system, which offers supplemental air defense against threats of any size. FS 2020 exemplifies the ongoing progression in the development of modern multirole strike fighters.

Cannon Primetron

T3, available in the VIP Battle Pass.

Features:

An American-developed railgun with a fast turret rotation and extremely high projectile velocity. It is designed to engage surface targets at long ranges, aided by exceptional accuracy. There is a short delay before firing to achieve the required magnetic acceleration.

Air Defense Iron Beam

T3, available in the Premium Battle Pass.

Features:

An Israeli directed-energy air defense system designed to counter aerial threats at close ranges with high accuracy. It has a relatively fast reload time.

An aircraft carrier in service with the Indian Navy, the first to be built in Kerala, India. It is equipped with multiple offensive and defensive weapons in addition to its air wing.

Rebalancing of ship characteristics, rarity, cost, and realization methods.

We’ve updated the prices and acquisition methods of store ships based on their current balance and power. Some ships have become cheaper, others more expensive, and some are now purchased with a different currency.

The main goal of these changes is to bring the entire ship lineup to a consistent balance:

• Legendary ships should be stronger than Epic ones,

• Epic ships should be stronger than Rare ones,

• and their cost should fairly reflect their power level.

All these adjustments are aimed at making progression feel fair, clear, and logical.

All ships converted to Gold currency will receive a +20% bonus to resource income.

Additional Rebalance

• SLBMs can now be installed in slots 3 and 4.
