World of Warships

World of Warships is a naval combat game built around teams of players commanding warships based on vessels from the first half of the 20th century. Choose from battleships, cruisers, destroyers, submarines, and aircraft carriers, each with different weapons and battlefield roles. Battles reward planning as well as aim: choose where to sail, when to engage, and how to angle your ship against incoming fire. Shell choice, armor, and target positioning affect damage, while destroyers can scout and contest objectives as the teams maneuver across large maps. Progress through national Tech Trees to unlock ships, then tailor them with modifications and Commander skills. You can also change ship appearances, play against other players or in co-op and PvE modes, and team up with friends in a Division or join a Clan.

Command a historic warship in team battles, using careful positioning, accurate gunnery, and ship-specific tactics to outmaneuver opponents.
