World of Warships: Blitz Sets Sail with Thrilling Update 8.2
World of Warships: Blitz has unleashed its 8.2 update, introducing high-octane naval combat with several powerful new additions. The headline feature is the adrenaline-pumping Turbo Strike mode, accompanied by exciting gameplay enhancements. Dive in to discover all the tactical upgrades.
Turbo Strike: High-Speed Naval Warfare
This intense new battle mode revolutionizes combat with instant respawns after destruction - keeping captains permanently engaged. Victory goes to the first team reaching 1,000 points or successfully capturing the base. Turbo Strike features a specialized map and constant power-ups that change the tide of battle.
Randomized airdrops deliver stackable buffs (up to four simultaneous boosts) at regular intervals. Achieving three consecutive kills unlocks guided missiles for precise targeting. Each ship class also receives unique attribute enhancements exclusive to this mode.
Innovative Torpedo Mechanics
Update 8.2 introduces Variable Torpedoes - rewarding bold close-quarters combat. These armaments deliver devastating full damage within 6km, with effectiveness gradually decreasing to 60% at maximum 12km range, creating new strategic depth.
French Naval Power Arrives
The update welcomes an entire line of formidable French destroyers, beginning with the Tier V L'Adroit - a balanced warship combining firepower, torpedoes, and agility.
The progression continues with:
- Le Hardi (Tier VII)
- Orage (Tier IX)
These vessels maintain the line's signature stealth capabilities, rapid acceleration, and devastating close-range attacks. From Tier VII onward, they deploy the new Variable Torpedoes system.
Special Combat Feature
French destroyers boast the Emergency Engine Accelerator - a tactical boost providing 25% enhancement to acceleration, braking, and top speed for critical 10-second windows.
Update 8.2 also introduces the formidable Maine - a powerful new Supership to command. Download the latest version now from the Google Play Store.
