The April Modern Warships is named Wild Barrage and it has version number 0.63. The update brings new flags, a skin new for the FS Blue Shark<\/a>, and bug fixes. Like always, we also get new ships, weapons, and aircraft, some of which are in the new Battle Pass and others are available in the in-game shop. All new game items are listed below. You can click the card of the item you are interested in to view more details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ships<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

USS Constitution II (DDR-2000)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The USS Constitution II looks like a sister ship of the USS Massachusetts<\/a>. However, its weapons are very different. While it has one less missile slot than Massachusetts, it has four very powerful railguns with fast reload speed. However, it doesn’t have any torpedoes or grenade launchers which can leave it vulnerable to enemy submarines. It has two different air defense systems which are locked but despite this provide very effective air defense with continuous missile fire. This ship is the final, free reward in the Battle Pass.<\/p>\n\n\n

Weapons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
