World of Warships is Wargaming's naval combat game built around ships from the first half of the 20th century. As in the studio's tank games, you fight team battles and grow your fleet in port along national tech trees.
Destroyers, cruisers, battleships, aircraft carriers and submarines all play differently: destroyers lay smoke and launch torpedoes, battleships soak damage and fire at long range. Leading your shots, angling your armour and working with the team matter most. Commanders learn skills, ships take upgrades, and clans get seasonal battles.
It suits players who like slower, tactical fights and naval history. It is hard to learn, and battles run longer than in tank games. In Russia the game was replaced in 2022 by Lesta's Mir Korabley, and the international client is not sold on Russian Steam.
