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.

There are two records for SMS Kaiser, first assumes regular 8-gun broadside, and second assumes a full 10-gun, which can be achieved only at a very narrow angle.

Naval tips and hints

To be expanded and updated if/when I'll have time.

See Rowan's guide to war thunder naval
Naval mode is 60% positioning, 20% lineup, 20% gunnery & miscellaneous
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
- Airplanes:


Low BR	A ton of options, hard to choose bad, just FYI: equivalent to 800-1000kg bombs are 2000 lb	Any Ju-87	Su-2/BB-1	▄Wirraway	D4Y or B6N1 for torpedoes	Ba.65 (K.14) L into Ju 87 D-3 or SM.91	V-156-F into ▄F6F-5 or Potez 631
Mid-High BR		Do-217/Ju-87, for fun: He 111 H-6 with PC 1400 X	Pe-8 (with 4 x FAB-1000)	Worst options (try Firefly Mk I with 2x 1000 lb, or Lancaster)	B7A2	SM.92	▄AD-4 or ▄F6F-5N into ▄AD-4NA or ▄F8F-1B

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?)

Destroyer	★★★★★	★★★★☆	★★★★★	★★★☆☆	★★★☆☆	★☆☆☆☆	?
Light cruiser	★★★★★	★★★★☆	★★★★☆	★★★☆☆	★★★☆☆	★★★☆☆	?
Heavy cruiser	★★★★☆	★★★★☆	—	★★★★☆	★★★★☆	★★★★☆	?
Battleship / Battlecruiser	★★☆☆☆	★★★★☆	★★★★★ Kronshtadt	★★★☆☆	★★★★☆	★★☆☆☆	?

Note:

USSR does not have any heavy cruisers.

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. 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 - play bluewater navy in BR - there is no place where you can earn more SL per hour than here. Want to life 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 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 (%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.
