Certainly an odd addition as there are no subs in the game as of writing, but these ships can act as a pocket BB in shallow watter and could even deal decent damage against unsuspecting DDs. Subchaser (PTC): Slow speed, but heavy firepower. They can dominate well short term but are usually defenseless against larger vessels. Motor Gunboat (PGM): Boats without torpedoes but good firepower. These ships have the firepower to dominate short term in shallow waters against other boats, but will struggle against larger vessels unless they manage to hit them with torpedoes. Motor Torpedo Gun Boat (No abbreviation): High speed torpedo boats with good guns. Be warned most vessels under this category have weak guns. Motor Torpedo Boat (PT): High speed boats used to cap zones and torpedo bluewater vessel. Mostly used to dominate shallow cap zones. Be warned, you'll be using dreadnoughts early on, so your firing will be delayed quite a bit from clicking the mouse, but you'll get ships with better reaction later on.īattlecruiser (BC): These ships are like battleships with the same firepower (maybe even less) but with weaker armor in exchange for speed.Īircraft Carrier (CV): Uninstall the game and go play World of Warships.įrigate (DL): Destroyer pocket edition. AA will likely be decent enough to repel planes and make them useless, but sticking with your teammates is still necessary.īattleship (BB): You're going to deal with slow speed, but the best armor and guns. As such, your goal will be leading your team and making use of your firepower and armor. Heavy Cruiser (CA): Heavy cruisers will likely be a vanguard for the fleet and will have some of the heaviest armor until top tier. This is typically your job, but your role doesn't change much as you are still a support class Light Cruiser (CL): You will either have good AA (check the stat card or test sail.) or decent enough guns to take out cruisers. It's as simple as it gets, but don't rely too much on AA which is why you need to be in formation to get the most air defense. Skip this unless you have never tried these ships ever and are completely clueless.ĭestroyer (DD): Typically, you'll be capturing points, destroying small vessels, and ambushing ships. if you can damage a compartment (See next section) keep firing until it's destroyed or you detonate ammo. Try approaching ships bow on and disabling the guns and bridge. Even with HE, cannons can disables destroyer guns and make it easier for you to survive, provided you don't get hit with secondaries. If you're lucky, you'll have a cannon at least 20mm or higher and with AP. Also check the wiki for their weaknesses.ĭealing with Destroyers in a Boat: The damage modules make damaging destroyers in coastal vessels excruciatingly hard. Get a destroyer to outgun them or bravely try to take out their guns. Solution? Do not engage with planes since they have good AA. The problem is tanky mini destroyers which spam 76mm or even 100mm shells at you and in some cases launch rockets. SKRs and Frigates: These are more of an unbalanced annoyance than a glitch if you play coastal. Pressing the button once sends the waifu you worship to personally fix this terrible glitch by allowing you to target once again. The second option has target tracking (naval). Go to the control setting and scroll down to camera control for naval. This makes it impossible to aim due to the inability for you to tell the game you want to fire at a specific target and causes your guns to randomly jump up and down in range. The targeting glitch: Naval has a glitch where your the fancy selector for targeting objects doesn't show even if you press X.
#War thunder naval open beta how to#
In order to do well, you must learn how to fire on the move, how to hit your target 5km away, and to rely more on evading rather than tanking. It will feel slow and a little unfair after you complete your three battles and actually have to play against people. The bluewater fleet is more like ground battles but with a twist. These ships are fragile and the mode is a little bit like air battles. The coastal fleet is fast paced action early on and you get to derp around in speedy boats.

To understand what you get from naval, you need to understand what the branches are like. Now hovering modules will tell you their function. Simply go to the hanger and view the X-ray mode.
#War thunder naval open beta update#
In addition, an update has made it possible to understand how certain modules function including how you receive feedback on icons when damaging icons. It ranges from what to expect with naval to the glitches and trash you'll subject yourself to and how to deal with it.

Before we get started with the guide, I have to add a few things everyone should read before playing their next match.
