Ship battles in War Thunder are exciting and spectacular. Some nations show themselves better than others in this matter. If you choose them, an easy victory is guaranteed.
Great Britain
British ships are well-balanced and able to remain in service even after sustaining severe damage. Two models deserve attention:
- HMS Marlborough. In combat, the emphasis is on the main caliber and the ability to position the ship on the map. It is possible to perform a board volley from all guns at a good angle of attack. Armor covers most of the hull, which makes the ship survivable. However, maneuvering is not very good and slow.
- HMS Hood (51) is the best line cruiser with high destructive power. However, it has relatively thin armor, and you will have to adjust your play style to it. The big advantage is its outstanding performance.
When firing in the game, it is worth taking into account that the shells of the main caliber have a large range. Especially when working with long distances.
Japan
Japanese ships in War Thunder are easily controlled, well maneuverable, and have good armaments. The following models attract interest:
| Ship | Features |
|---|---|
| Chidori | The Chidori has a large air defense battery and fast movement. Best in close-quarters combat |
| IJN Fuso | Has reinforced armor and advanced mechanisms. It has an excellent main caliber, as well as good small-caliber artillery. Armored and able to move quickly through the water |
| IJN Ise | It has a powerful main caliber and increased protection. It is also pleased with its speed and air defense. |
Even beginners will be able to operate the technique. It is well balanced in terms of characteristics.
USSR
The USSR has the best small fleet, but it may seem weak at the start of pumping. Gamers speak positively about the destroyers Tashkent and Tranquil. But to successfully implement combat strategies with their use, you need to study the enemy’s weaknesses. Of cruisers, the Red Caucasus and Projects 68 deserve attention. The nation is friendly to newcomers and easy to master.
Germany
Germany in War Thunder is good in both small and large fleets. The following models stand out in particular:
- SMS Sachsen has powerful armor and heavy armament. However, its maneuverability is not very good, but this is compensated for by powerful air defense.
- Pr. 206. It has high-speed armament and can move quickly. If you use all guns, you can easily deal with enemy boats or destroyers. However, the boat requires a careful play style, as it has little armor.
The early German dreadnoughts are weak and can’t handle tops. But you have to endure them for the sake of branch development.
USA
The USA is the most comfortable nation in War Thunder in 2024, including for newcomers. Gamers especially like Atlanta on 5.3, as well as Washingtonians, although the latter are demanding in terms of shooting accuracy. At 6.0, are good cruisers of the Brooklyn and Cleveland classes. In close combat, they destroy any cruiser. America’s small fleet also deserves attention, especially when going to the top models.
Before mastering the ships of different nations, it is worth familiarizing yourself with their strengths and weaknesses. This information in the future will also help in battles with opponents in the game. If you know which areas are the most vulnerable, victory in War Thunder will be guaranteed.
