World of Warships packs this weekend with tactical opportunities, starting with the Trafalgar Day event that lets you earn British Commander Cuthbert Collingwood through combat missions. This addition boosts Royal Navy lineups by enhancing gunnery accuracy and torpedo reloads, opening fresh command strategies for cruiser and battleship players.
Trafalgar Day Missions and Rewards
Complete a chain of missions to snag Collingwood and a Union Jack permanent camouflage. These tasks emphasize historical naval tactics, like precise salvo timing and fleet maneuvering, which directly tie into World of Warships' core simulation depth. It's a smart way to grind rewards while honing skills that shift meta approaches in ranked play.
How Does Commander Collingwood Change British Builds?
Collingwood's perks favor aggressive playstyles, reducing detection after firing and improving secondary battery performance. This rebalances British ships toward hybrid offense, making them more viable in close-quarters brawls against destroyers or carriers.
KOTS XVIII Registration Opens
Teams of nine or more can now sign up for King of the Sea XVIII, the game's premier annual tournament. With divisions based on skill brackets, it tests coordinated fleet strategies across diverse matchups, rewarding precise positioning and resource management.
What Are the Key Rules for Brawl 2?
Brawl 2, live in Update 14.9, runs 3v3 with Tier VIII ships under strict limits: max one battleship, two cruisers, and one destroyer. This setup forces balanced comps, emphasizing synergy over raw firepower and creating opportunities for underused ships to shine in quick, decisive engagements.
As of October 24, 2025, these events are rolling—dive in to adapt your tactics before they wrap.
