A new update just dropped in World of Warships and that means there's a lot of new content to enjoy. One of the highlights is the start of the construction of the USS Wisconsin. Then there's the return of Asymmetric Battles. Indeed, there's a lot to unpack with Update 13.3.
Let's start with the construction of historic American battleship USS Wisconsin. To unlock the shipbuilding phases, you'll need to complete combat missions. Now the shipbuilding process has a total of 30 phases. Going through the Dockyard combat missions allows you to unlock 28 of these. Then once you reach shipbuilding phase 20, you'll also be rewarded with none other than the West Virginia '44. For those who already have this ship, they instead receive three Dockyard phases.
You have until the next update to finish everything so time to start now. By the way for those wondering, here are key features of the USS Wisconsin:
- "Immediate Systems Reload" Combat Instructions that reduce consumable preparation/cooldown time.
- Accurate guns that inflict relatively low damage.
- High speed and good concealment, but relatively weak armor.
It's Back
PvE fans are sure to be happy knowing that Asymmetric Battles. Not only are they back but the rules have remained the same as before. This means you can join in Tier VI–X ships and superships.

- One aircraft carrier
- Up to two battleships
- Up to two cruisers
- Up to two destroyers
- One submarine
Asymmetric Battles run from April 11 to May 16. Learn more about it here.
