== Naval shell calibres ==
 +
{{Main|User:U12017485/Navy_Shells|l1=Navy Shells}}
 +
Go to the main article to see a table of the gun calibres, how much penetration they have and how large HE fillers.
 +
 +
E.g. 12-ich/305mm guns with the AP shells have 275 - 419 mm penetration and 5.66 - 18.79 kg HE filler, the best one being the [[305 mm/54 B-50 (305 mm)|B-50]].

* Positioning
 +
** Know when to disengage. There is no shame in retreating. If you get focused-fired by multiple threatening ships - break contact. Smoke, hard terrain, everything is good. In a large ship it's often best to just hide behind the hill and run aground, as it does next to no damage to self, while stopping you instantly, instead of rolling next kilometer on full reverse trying to bleed speed.

:* Nations. Assumes: personal bias/bias of those I trust with opinions plus some numbers, AB, ships are at the top of the lineup (e.g. no judging of BR 6.3 BB vs BR 7.0). Also keep in mind that every such list will be heavily subjective (e.g. how you score a category where most are bad and one is great or how you score a ship that has an amazing guns for the BR, but no AA and bad torpedoes, while also having good armor, yet can get easily deleted with a broadside into a critical spot?)<br>'''Last updated: 2024-02-26'''/[[:Category:Updates|Air Superiority]] (2.33)

::<nowiki>**</nowiki> Scharnhorst is effectively impossible to kill by ammo-racking. It's best countered with the use of HE munitions.
 +
* Gunnery & miscellaneous
 +
** Naval mode is much more like Ground than Air - it's all about killing the crew rather than taking down the vehicle. You can turn that part of a ship into a black hole with all the shell hits, but it won't matter if there is no crew left in the compartments.
 +
** Typically the best way to kill the crew is by destroying the [[ammo racks]], or specifically: blowing up the magazines (note: shell rooms can also explode, but magazines are much more likely to).
 +
** As of [[Update "Air Superiority"]] main guns do not cause unrepairable hull breach, making ships that in real life did not have enough buoyancy in the citadel to stay afloat (e.g. [[Scharnhorst]]) unusually difficult to sink. While in real life ships typically "died" by sinking, rather than the deaths of crew members, original implementation of this mechanic caused a huge uproar in the community, causing the feature to be removed - currently unrepairable hull breaches can be caused only by the torpedoes with a sufficiently large warhead (the size of the warhead needed to inflict it depends on the thickness of armour at the specific location it hit).
 +
* Destroyers (DD)
 +
** US destroyers typically have a huge magazine in the back, if you'll hit that with AP/SAP - they will blow up in fireworks
 +
* Battleship (BB) / Battlecruiser (BC)
 +
** Majority of them should be used for pushing the caps. Obvious exception being a glass cannons, but these are relatively rare. Role of the BB is first to assert dominance over the area and secondly: soaking up damage. Getting kills is least important for an average BB (and most important for glass cannons)
 +
* Other notes:
 +
** There is no such thing as a "meta shell" in the game. You use different shells for different effects. Unlocking new shell types is not an upgrade, it's opening new options, it's nothing like in Ground or Air forces where unlocked ammunition is almost always better than stock, and the best ammo types are last in the modifications tree. [[:File:36 cm 45 Type 41 (356 mm) SAP vs HE.jpg|See this image for explanation of the AP vs HE damage]], though occasional shrapnel bug out causing more damage with HE than it might appear from this example alone.
 +
** If you look to earn {{sl}} - play bluewater navy in BR {{#unit:us_destroyer_porter_1942|br}} - there is no place where you can earn more SL per hour than here. Want to level it up to another level? Use {{Specs-Link|us_destroyer_porter_1942}} in Realistic Battles.
 +
** BR spread is 1.0. This means that if you play [[USS Mitscher]] (BR 4.7) you'll be able to see [[IJN Ikoma]] (BR 5.7) (As of [[Update "Apex Predators"|2.23]]). Such matchups are not common, and the matchmaker trying to avoid putting multiple BB players in such low matchups. Either way, don't get discouraged - DDs are CLs are not meant to duel BBs, just avoid getting focused and fight with the other targets. BBs are best dealt with in bombers, as they typically have a pitiful anti-air defence - drop bombs on turrets (→ammo racks). Throwing some torpedoes at them or a bit of HE shells to cause a fire can also be helpful.

=== Large bombs for naval ===
 +
A comparsion of the most common aerial bombs used on a strike craft and single-engine bombers below BR 7.0 with a mass ≥ 500 kg or, for bombs with a mass given in pounds: ≥ 500 lb (just to illustrate the point, that the 500 lb is '''not''' the same as 500 kg, not even close).

*Joined November 2013, play on/off
+
* How to turn off seasonal hangard? Download the default one from https://live.warthunder.com/post/941994/en/, go to your game folder (<kbd>%localappdata%\WarThunder</kbd>), unpack it there, rename <kbd>hangar.blk</kbd> to <kbd>hangar_21.blk</kbd>, open <kbd>config.blk</kbd> with text editor and insert <code>hangarBlk:t="hangar_21.blk"</code> after the first block (before <code>oculus{</code> in my file). Now you'll have a permanent copy of a switchable default hangar, if you want to go back to seasonal, just delete the <code>hangarBlk:t="hangar_21.blk"</code> bit of code.

*Highest win % with a decent number of games: SM.91/M26/RN Eugenio di Savoia
+
* You can't repositioning your camera in Nvidia Ansel? Restart the game with anti-cheat turned off.
−
*Highest number of games: B7A2/Leopard 1/IJN Yuudachi
+
* Go to Options and change "Temperature indication" to "Always" - this will allow you to see how the engine cools down after you decrease the thrust - pretty useful for avoiding [[Air-to-air missiles#Infrared homing (heat-seeking) missiles|IR-guided missiles]].

== Naval shell calibres ==

−
Translating the key inch calibres into a common units and showing penetration of some of the naval shells in roughly the same calibre. This table is meant to give you a rough idea of how much protection does the ship armor give at a typical combat ranges. Going by inches as a base puts some nations in a disadvantage in terms of a number of entries in the table (notably Germans).

Note: A number of guns (notably Japanese) use SAP instead of AP ammunition for the same purpose. 30° @ 5000m was selected to illustrate real ranges and hit angles. While not universal (e.g. ≥12" guns rarely shoot at targets so close) it should give you a rough idea about the performance for the shells boiled down to a single number.

−
* Positioning
 
−
** Know when to disengage. There is no shame in retreating. If you get focused-fired by multiple threatening ships - break contact. Smoke, hard terrain, everything is good. In a large ship it's often best to just hide behind the hill and run aground, as it does next to no damage to self, while stopping you instantly, instead of rolling next kilometer on full reverse trying to bleed speed.
 
−
* Lineup
 
−
** Naval is most fun if you have planes researched that will give you kills against objectives and/or annoying enemy ships. Some treats I would recommend: [[File:USA flag.png|25x25px|link]] A ton of options, hard to choose bad, just FYI: equivalent to 800-1000kg bombs are 2000 lb [[File:Germany flag.png|25x25px|link]] [[He 111 H-6]] (in AB abuse [[PC 1400 X (1,400 kg)|PC 1400 X]]  in-flight reload from a high altitude), [[Ju 87 (Family)|Stukas]], twin-engine BFs [[File:USSR flag.png|25x25px|link]] [[Pe-8]] (with 4 x [[FAB-1000 (1,000 kg)|FAB-1000]]) [[File:Britain flag.png|25x25px|link]] IMHO the worst in options (try [[Firefly F Mk I|Firefly Mk I]] with 2x [[M.C. Mk.I (1,000 lb)|1000 lb]], but nothing in British tree was satisfying for me) [[File:IJN flag.png|25x25px|link]] [[B7A2]] (or [[B6N1 Model 11|B6N1]] for BRs lower than {{#unit:b7a2|br}}) [[File:Kingdom Italy flag.png|25x25px|link]] [[SM.92]] ([[SM.91]] and [[Ju 87 D-3 (Italy)|Ju 87 D-3]] for lower BRs)
 
−
* Gunnery & miscellaneous
 
−
** Naval mode is much more like Ground than Air - it's all about killing the crew rather than taking down the vehicle. You can turn that part of a ship into a black hole with all the shell hits, but it won't matter if there is no crew left in the compartments.
 
−
* Destroyers (DD)
 
−
** US destroyers typically have a huge magazine in the back, if you'll hit that with AP/SAP - they will blow up in fireworks
 
−
* Battleship (BB) / Battlecruiser (BC)
 
−
** Majority of them should be used for pushing the caps. Obvious exception being a glass cannons, but these are relatively rare. Role of the BB is first to assert dominance over the area and secondly: soaking up damage. Getting kills is least important for an average BB (and most important for glass cannons)
 
−
* Other notes:
 
−
** There is no such thing as a "meta shell" in the game. You use different shells for different effects. Unlocking new shell types is not an upgrade, it's opening a new options, it's nothing like in Ground or Air forces where unlocked ammunition is almost always better than stock, and the best ammo types are last in the modifications tree.
 
−
** If you look to earn {{sl}} - play bluewater navy in BR {{#unit:us_destroyer_porter_1942|br}} - there is no place where you can earn more SL per hour than here. Want to life it up to another level? Use {{Specs-Link|us_destroyer_porter_1942}} in Realistic Battles.
 
−
** BR spread is 1.0. This means that if you play [[USS Mitscher]] (BR 4.7) you'll be able to see [[IJN Ikoma]] (BR 5.7) (As of [[Update "Apex Predators"|2.23]]). Such matchups are not common, and the matchmaker trying to avoid putting multiple BB players in such a low matchups. Either way, don't get discouraged - DDs are CLs are not meant to duel BBs, just avoid getting focused and fight with the other targets. BBs are best dealt with in bombers, as they typically have a pitiful anti-air defense - drop bombs on turrets (→ammo racks). Throwing some torpedoes at them or a bit of HE shells to cause a fire can also be helpful.

== Other tips and hints ==
 
−
* How to turn off seasonal hangard? Download the default one from https://live.warthunder.com/post/941994/en/, go to your game folder (<kbd>%localappdata%\WarThunder</kbd>), unpack it there, rename <kbd>hangar.blk</kbd> to <kbd>hangar_21.blk</kbd>, open <kbd>config.blk</kbd> with text editor and insert <code>hangarBlk:t="hangar_21.blk"</code> after the first block (before <code>oculus{</code> in my file). Now you'll have a permanent copy of a switchable default hangar, if you want to go back to seasonal, just delete the <code>hangarBlk:t="hangar_21.blk"</code> bit of code.
 
−
* You can't repositioning your camera in Nvidia Ansel? Restart the game with anti-cheat turned off.
 
−
* Go to Options and change "Temperature indication" to "Always" - this will allow you to see how the engine cools down after you decrease the thrust - pretty useful for avoiding [[Air-to-air missiles#Infrared homing (heat-seeking) missiles|IR-guided missiles]].

Naval shell calibres

Main article: Navy Shells

Go to the main article to see a table of the gun calibres, how much penetration they have and how large HE fillers.

E.g. 12-ich/305mm guns with the AP shells have 275 - 419 mm penetration and 5.66 - 18.79 kg HE filler, the best one being the B-50.

  • Nations. Assumes: personal bias/bias of those I trust with opinions plus some numbers, AB, ships are at the top of the lineup (e.g. no judging of BR 6.3 BB vs BR 7.0). Also keep in mind that every such list will be heavily subjective (e.g. how you score a category where most are bad and one is great or how you score a ship that has an amazing guns for the BR, but no AA and bad torpedoes, while also having good armor, yet can get easily deleted with a broadside into a critical spot?)

** Scharnhorst is effectively impossible to kill by ammo-racking. It's best countered with the use of HE munitions.
  • Gunnery & miscellaneous
    • Naval mode is much more like Ground than Air - it's all about killing the crew rather than taking down the vehicle. You can turn that part of a ship into a black hole with all the shell hits, but it won't matter if there is no crew left in the compartments.
    • Typically the best way to kill the crew is by destroying the ammo racks, or specifically: blowing up the magazines (note: shell rooms can also explode, but magazines are much more likely to).
    • As of Update "Air Superiority" main guns do not cause unrepairable hull breach, making ships that in real life did not have enough buoyancy in the citadel to stay afloat (e.g. Scharnhorst) unusually difficult to sink. While in real life ships typically "died" by sinking, rather than the deaths of crew members, original implementation of this mechanic caused a huge uproar in the community, causing the feature to be removed - currently unrepairable hull breaches can be caused only by the torpedoes with a sufficiently large warhead (the size of the warhead needed to inflict it depends on the thickness of armour at the specific location it hit).
  • Destroyers (DD)
    • US destroyers typically have a huge magazine in the back, if you'll hit that with AP/SAP - they will blow up in fireworks
  • Battleship (BB) / Battlecruiser (BC)
    • Majority of them should be used for pushing the caps. Obvious exception being a glass cannons, but these are relatively rare. Role of the BB is first to assert dominance over the area and secondly: soaking up damage. Getting kills is least important for an average BB (and most important for glass cannons)
  • Other notes:
    • There is no such thing as a "meta shell" in the game. You use different shells for different effects. Unlocking new shell types is not an upgrade, it's opening new options, it's nothing like in Ground or Air forces where unlocked ammunition is almost always better than stock, and the best ammo types are last in the modifications tree. See this image for explanation of the AP vs HE damage, though occasional shrapnel bug out causing more damage with HE than it might appear from this example alone.
    • If you look to earn Sl icon.png - play bluewater navy in BR 5.0 - there is no place where you can earn more SL per hour than here. Want to level it up to another level? Use USS Moffett in Realistic Battles.
    • BR spread is 1.0. This means that if you play USS Mitscher (BR 4.7) you'll be able to see IJN Ikoma (BR 5.7) (As of 2.23). Such matchups are not common, and the matchmaker trying to avoid putting multiple BB players in such low matchups. Either way, don't get discouraged - DDs are CLs are not meant to duel BBs, just avoid getting focused and fight with the other targets. BBs are best dealt with in bombers, as they typically have a pitiful anti-air defence - drop bombs on turrets (→ammo racks). Throwing some torpedoes at them or a bit of HE shells to cause a fire can also be helpful.

Large bombs for naval

A comparsion of the most common aerial bombs used on a strike craft and single-engine bombers below BR 7.0 with a mass ≥ 500 kg or, for bombs with a mass given in pounds: ≥ 500 lb (just to illustrate the point, that the 500 lb is not the same as 500 kg, not even close).

  1. ↑ 400 kg Vliegtuigbom is the largest native Dutch bomb in the game, thus it was included into the list, even if it's sub-500 kg.

Other tips and hints

  • How to turn off seasonal hangard? Download the default one from https://live.warthunder.com/post/941994/en/, go to your game folder (%localappdata%\WarThunder), unpack it there, rename hangar.blk to hangar_21.blk, open config.blk with text editor and insert hangarBlk:t="hangar_21.blk" after the first block (before oculus{ in my file). Now you'll have a permanent copy of a switchable default hangar, if you want to go back to seasonal, just delete the hangarBlk:t="hangar_21.blk" bit of code.
  • You can't repositioning your camera in Nvidia Ansel? Restart the game with anti-cheat turned off.
  • Go to Options and change "Temperature indication" to "Always" - this will allow you to see how the engine cools down after you decrease the thrust - pretty useful for avoiding IR-guided missiles.
