This month brings a new helicopter mechanic, the long-awaited return of Air Combat mode, a new design for vehicle description windows, and, as always, plenty of new equipment and content!

Main Features of the Update

⭐️ Helicopter Landing on Ships

• Added the ability to return helicopters back to the ship.
• Reload time depends on the helicopter's condition:

• faster — when at full HP and ammunition;

• longer — when damaged or after ammunition has been spent.

• If there are several helicopters in one slot, they can be sent to reload one at a time. In this case, each unit will have its own reload bar.

⭐️ Air Combat Mode

Air Combat mode has returned to the game permanently.

• Only aircraft carriers, assault aircraft carriers, and aviation-capable ships can participate. Yamato is no longer allowed in the mode, despite having aircraft 🙂
• Each team has 3 players.
• Maps for the mode: all.
• The match lasts 10 minutes.
• Each team starts the match with 350 points, which are lost when ships and aviation units are destroyed.
• The team that preserves its points or sinks all enemy ships wins.
• The mode is permanently available to all players from level 15.

⭐️ Map Changes

• Storm: Oil rigs have been completely reworked, with more destruction and visual effects added.

The map lighting has been updated: models and the environment are now less dark.

• Oil rigs have also been reworked and visual effects have been added for the following maps: Arid Frontier, Viking Bay, Arctic

⭐️ Item Description Window

• The design of the description window for ships, equipment, aviation, and currencies has been updated.
• Ship details have been restored: launch date, displacement, length, and width.
• Lock icons have been added for locked equipment on ships.

Submarine FS Le Triomphant

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

Armament

1. SLBM M45 (TN 75) [x2]
2. SLBM M45 (TN 75) [x2]
3. Torpedo Mark 48 (533 mm) [x2]
4. Torpedo Mark 48 (533 mm) [x2]

Features:

A French stealth submarine armed with M45 ballistic missiles, forming part of the naval component of France's multi-domain nuclear deterrence forces. It received structural upgrades and fully modular armament, allowing it to maintain combat effectiveness in any given situation. It has two double slots for any ballistic missiles, as well as two double slots for any torpedoes. It offers a simple and straightforward way to experience the most striking features of modern submarines — in the case of ballistic missiles, quite literally. Suitable for both experienced captains and newcomers who want to explore the battlefield... in greater depth.

Strike Fighter Mirage 4000

T3, available in the VIP Battle Pass.

Features:

A French prototype twin-engine strike fighter developed on the basis of the Mirage 2000. The aircraft was increased in size, but this did not negatively affect its impressive speed characteristics. The defining feature of this strike fighter is its extensive arsenal, beginning with the multipurpose DEFA-554M (30 mm) revolver cannon, which performs well against both ships and aircraft. It is complemented by AS-30M anti-ship missiles with an improved target acquisition system and reinforced casing. For close-range engagements, the aircraft carries Type 155 SNEB HE (68 mm) unguided rockets with fragmentation warheads. It also carries BGL-1000M heavy laser-guided aerial bombs, which accelerate very quickly. Finally, it has SAMP Type 25 free-fall bombs with anti-submarine capabilities. It is safe to say that the updated Mirage can effectively complete any task it faces.

Helicopter AH-1W SuperCobra

T3, available in the VIP Battle Pass.

Features:

An American twin-engine attack helicopter notable for its excellent mobility and speed, as well as its multipurpose armament. Its arsenal begins with the GAU-19A1 (12.7 mm) three-barreled heavy machine gun, which can destroy aircraft as well as damage ships. Against the latter, it is better to use the BGM-71D, an aviation anti-tank missile system with advanced guidance systems. If the target is underwater, LAU-61 SC (70 mm) unguided rockets will help, while if you need to increase pressure on a surface enemy, do not forget the LAU-10 (70 mm) unguided rockets with high-explosive charges. SuperCobra truly deserves its name: in addition to excellent maneuverability, it can also "bite" very painfully. However, keep in mind its low durability, which can become a problem during especially daring maneuvers.

Missile Battery MICA-M

T3, available in the VIP Battle Pass.

Features:

French multipurpose, all-weather, fire-and-forget missile for rapid-fire launch systems. It features an advanced seeker and is primarily designed to effectively destroy aerial targets within its operational range. The missile combines the best qualities of its class, making it stable and comfortable to use while maintaining strong overall performance.

Drone Neuron

T3, available in the Premium Battle Pass.

Features:

An experimental combat UAV developed through international cooperation under French leadership. It is a stealth aircraft suitable for the most dangerous combat zones, including at sea, and capable of carrying a nuclear payload.

It uses stealth technologies and carries ASMP-N nuclear missiles, which have increased flight speed and a special protective casing. In addition, it is equipped with AASM Hammer multipurpose glide bombs, which feature a hardened body and an optimized charging mechanism. This armament set allows Neuron to effectively strike any ships and submarines, providing allies with the necessary fire support from the air.

Legendary Camouflage “Distant Travel”

Available in the VIP Battle Pass.

Epic Camouflage “Star Navigator”

Available in the Premium Battle Pass.

Rare Camouflage “Path of the Ancients”

Available in the free part of the Battle Pass.

Decals

A new collection, “Celestial Relics,” has been added. Decals from the collection will be obtainable through various activities throughout June.

Seasons Storage

In this update, Seasons Storage has been expanded with another season, “Grim Tide”, released in October 2025. Inside the pass, you can find valuable VIP rewards, customization items, and the frigate INS Nilgiri (P-17A). This is a modern stealth missile frigate from the Indian Navy's Project 17 Alpha line. Its design provides significant stealth and low radar visibility through the use of composite materials and radar-absorbing coatings. Another advantage is its high modularity: almost all armament can be replaced, opening up opportunities for unique customization for specific fleet tasks.
