There are some balance issues when it comes to certain ships. It tends to be a good way to get players to stick together and use their combined firepower to take down enemy vessels. You'll almost always see the ship that is shooting at you - and well in advance. In Tanks, death can come at a moment's notice, but ships move slower and often across unbroken sight lines along the water's surface. Classes of ships also have other roles, such as cruisers having strong AA to screen against enemy aircraft.Ī lot of this dynamic is due to the more methodical approach of ship combat. That's not to say that it's a done deal a competent cruiser can still beat a poorly captained battleship. Generally, each of the ship classes is most easily defeated by the one after it. Warships has more of a rock-paper-scissors mechanic going for it. That honor goes to the aircraft carriers, which must manage aircraft squadrons while also trying to stay hidden. Battleships have the biggest guns and the longest ranges but are nearly the biggest and slowest targets. Cruisers are frontline ships and are balanced in terms of durability, firepower and speed.

Destroyers are fast and capable of dealing great damage with torpedo launchers, but due to their fragility, they must use their mobility to stay alive.
