World of Warships is getting the first historical campaign with update 0.6.5. For a limited time, you can hunt the Bismarck and unlock cool rewards.
World of Warships, the battleship spectacle from Wargaming, consists of battles with wild assortments of ships that blow each other to pieces. To give all the shooting a deeper meaning, patch 0.6.5 introduces the first historical campaign that sends you on a hunt for the feared Bismarck.
World of Warships – Hunt the Bismarck in 7 Episodes
The first historical campaign in World of Warships runs from May 19 to June 8 and is entirely dedicated to the hunt for the Bismarck. This spectacle has a historical background, as the German battleship Bismarck indeed caused fear and terror in the North Atlantic in May 1941 after it spectacularly sank the British flagship HMS Hood.
This is how the Bismarck sparked the combined wrath of the Royal Navy, and a large part of the British fleet scoured the ocean to sink the giant battleship.
You can symbolically replay this spectacular hunt in World of Warships. You will complete up to seven missions, each consisting of 8 sub-tasks. For example, you must spot 6 German ships in a battle or sink two enemy battleships with HMS Hood. All these tasks must be completed in random battles with ships of tier 5 or higher.
As a reward, with each mission you will receive special ship equipment, and anyone who completes all missions will receive the Bismarck along with two new skins for HMS Hood. Those who already have the Bismarck will receive a free berth and 11 million credits. Additionally, there are cool historical facts about the campaign after each mission as a small bonus.
