Elite Commanders and Clans Sail Into World of Warships' Newest Update

Steven Seagal was just the beginning. Now any of your World of Warships commanders can be elite, just like Steven, earning XP beyond the maximum rank and applying that XP to your other commanders.

Commander skills are now arranged into four tiers -- each with two skills -- and four groups, for a total of 32 skills. All skill points have been reset, so players can try new combinations. Commanders with the maximum of 19 skill points will be classified as "Elite," and earn Elite XP that can be spent on retraining other commanders or redistributing their skill points without paying real money.

Clan support has also finally arrived in World of Warships. For 2,500 doubloons, you can form your own clan and invite up to 29 friends to join. Clan membership carries with it typical benefits of being in an MMO guild, such as a chat channel and ranks. You can also compare your stats to other members of the clan or combine everyone's stats to see how your clan holds up against others.

There's a lot more to Update 0.6.0, including the ability to play without a Wargaming account and some map tweaks. Full patch notes can be found on the World of Warships site.
