World of Warships Blitz: New Premium Warships Added in Update 5.3

Update 5.3
Update 5.3 Lesta Studio

Lesta Studio, the development company behind World of Warships Blitz, has deployed a new patch that adds fresh content to the game.

Update 5.3 adds new premium ships to World of Warships Blitz. The European Tier VIII Destroyer Orkan is an M-Class destroyer built for the Royal Navy but was transferred to the Polish Navy after being commissioned. This ship boasts incredible anti-air defenses, but this comes at the cost of reduced torpedo tubes.

The USS Hornet is a Tier VIII aircraft carrier that has a tactical bomber squadron at your disposal. This aircraft carrier is quite effective against larger ships because of its primary strike wing, consisting of torpedo bombers and AP Dive Bombers.

Another notable ship introduced in Update 5.3 is the Black Shimakaze. This Tier X Japanese destroyer is considered one of the fastest in the world, thanks to its advanced steam engine. Its three quintuple-tube torpedo launchers give this destroyer devastating attack potential, though keep in mind that it has the lowest HP pool among all Tier X destroyers.

Anyway, the latest patch for World of Warships Blitz also introduces a new Blitz Squad member - Meet Dalia!
