GAME AND CLAN RULES FOR WORLD OF WARSHIPS
Additions to the End User License Agreement (“EULA”).
Last updated: September 17th 2020
Most games were decided because a team either lost their DD, or gave up a cap uncontested. Next up were the radar cruisers who were supposed to secure caps. Many of them didn't know how to position properly, so now that the DDs no longer died randomly, most games were decided by the ability of radar cruisers to stay save and use their radar. World of Warships is a free-to-play naval warfare-themed massively multiplayer online game produced and published by Wargaming, following the earlier games World of Tanks and World of Warplanes. Players can battle others at random or play cooperative battle types against bots or an advanced player versus environment (PvE) battle mode. This guide describes World of Warships, the newest game created by Wargaming.net, which is a simulator of battles between powerful warships. It will help you in understanding the basic mechanics of the gameplay and will allow you to control the massive ships from the times of Second World War faster, easier and more effectively.

5. Inappropriate conduct in game / Fair play principles
The following actions (and similar actions) are prohibited in game:
5.01. Intentionally damaging ships belonging to a player on the same team (team damage).
5.02. Intentionally destroying ships belonging to a player on the same team (team kill).
5.03. Intentionally blocking (blocking from front and rear) ships belonging to a player on the same team.
5.04. Intentionally propping (blocking on one side, where the other side of a user’s ships touches a fixed indestructible obstacle, preventing free movement) ships belonging to a player on the same team.
5.05. Intentionally informing participants of the opposing team through battle or voice chat or through any other communication tool about the location of ships belonging to players of the same team.
5.06. Intentionally exploiting the physics system to damage an allied ship. This includes, but is not limited to, pushing an allied ship into the line of fire, pushing allied ships into islands, etc.
5.07. Using bots, clickers, macros, keyboard and mouse recorders, or any other similar methods that enables gameplay without the participation or with passive participation of the player in the battle.
5.08. Repetitive and excessive passive play
6. Rules Enforcement
The ‘Anti-Abuse System’ is the system which tracks Users whose behavior does not comply with the current rules and adversely affects the game of the entire team.
6.01 When a User violates the rules, is “AFK” in battle, or attacks allies, the system first simply prompts such Users to think about their behavior and start playing fairly, while the Users’s nickname turns pink. The warning itself contains information about what the User was punished for.
6.02. If, after the first warning, the User continues to violate the rules of fair play, the next step of the system will be to prohibit access to all types of battles, except for co-op battles, clan battles, and training room, while the User’s nickname will turn orange – but only in the port. To return to battles against other players and gain access to other types of battles, the User will have to take part in several co-op battles against bots. The User must still observe the rules of the Game and contribute to the battle.
6.03 Access to clan battles is not prohibited even with the offender status. Punishment for misconduct in this battle mode will be given by the clan leader. For example, a leader can dismiss a User from participating in clan battles, but cannot directly affect the User’s status in the system. If the User demonstrates unsporting conduct in clan battles, he or she can get rid of the offender status in co-op battles only.
6.04 Variants of Unsporting Conduct (the conditions for determining the unsporting conduct do not change, so we remind you of the main criteria for each of the violations):
6.04.1 Inactivity in battle: for cruisers, destroyers, and battleships, the system takes into account such “activity indicators” as the minimum distance covered, participation in the capturing and defending of key areas, and damage caused to enemy ships with the main battery, torpedoes, or by ramming. In this case, the minimum distance covered is calculated in such a way that if a fixed ship is “pushed”, it is not considered active. If you don’t want the system to consider you an offender, you must fulfill at least one of the conditions. Aircraft carriers are considered to be inactive if none of the following conditions are met: destruction of enemy aircraft, damage to enemy ships and aviation by any means (AA guns, secondary battery, ramming) and loss of own aircraft.
6.04.2 Damage Caused to Allies/Destroying an Allied Ship: Damage is measured as a percentage of the total HP pool of an allied ship. If damage is caused to multiple allies, the percentage values will sum up. Hitting allies with torpedoes will be taken into account at all times. Like in the case of destroying an allied ship, damage caused to your teammates can lead to restrictions in access to some types of battles. Also, do not forget about the mirror damage caused to the offenders’ ships after their nicknames turn pink, and about penalties to their credits and experience depending on their battle results. We remind you that “mirror damage” is the damage caused to your ship in response to your damaging of allied ships.
6.04.3 Fleeing the Battlefield
Fleeing the battlefield is defined as being active for less than 75% of the duration of a battle (either by your own choice or in the case of technical failure). Example: a player participates in battle for 7.5 minutes, saves the ship, and leaves the battle before it ends. If the duration of the battle is more than 10 minutes, the player will receive a corresponding warning or even punishment, if there are other violations on the account.
6.05 In connection with the introduction of Automated Anti-Abuse system, here is the uniform measures that can be taken against offenders: 5-14 days game ban.
6.06 Automated Anti-Abuse System is not meant to substitute the Support service team. The system aims at making their work easier. The most difficult cases thereby will be solved individually via Support service team.
7. Clan Management
7.01. Administration does not bear responsibility for any inner-clan management actions.
Clan leaders are heeded to take care when selecting clan members (especially whilst assigning clan members to important roles such as the Deputy Commanders & Treasurers). Wargaming will not and does not get involved with internal clan politics. If a User who has been given access to withdraw doubloons then withdraws doubloons from the clan, or a player who has been given access to remove players then removes players from the clan. this is normal clan operations and will not be investigated by Wargaming.
8. Game Client Modifications (“Mods”)
The use of Mods in World of Warships shall be governed by the Mod Policy posted at the following links:
ASIA/APAC realm
CIS realm
EU realm
NA realm
9. Official Language
9.01 General chat. The preferred language of the in-game port-chat & company lobby is any of our supported languages (English, Spanish, and Portuguese). Players who wish to communicate in their native language are urged to do so in channels created specifically for their language.
9.02. In-Game Battles. The preferred language is English, but non-English is acceptable. Please be tolerant of those who have difficulty speaking English.
10. Important/Miscellaneous
10.01. Repeated violations any area of these Rules or the EULA, including the areas detailed above, will often result in permanent suspension from the Game and/or forums.
10.02. This policy is not language-restrictive. Language that falls under this policy will always be subject to the repercussions listed, whether it is inappropriate in English or any other language.
10.03. Players may provide feedback or address any concerns to: Wargaming Support (including forum and game suspension appeals) at the above links.
CLAN RULES

Wargaming’s World of Warships Blitz is the ultimate real-time naval combat game for Android and iOS devices. Unlike World of Tank Blitz, this game is a bit slow-paced, but with proper strategy and teamwork, you can outwit your opponents.
Action-packed 7 vs. 7 real-time ship battles can be extremely challenging, so you must be well prepared, choose the best ship and always have weapons and boosters equipped to your ship. If you have just started playing World of Warships Blitz, then this guide is for you. With the help of these useful tips and strategies, you will be able to score more points, help your team and equip the right items to your ship before setting sail!
1. Know Your Game UI
Mini-map: It is located at the upper-left corner of the screen. Mini-map can be very helpful in spotting enemy warships early on. You can also know which direction your friendly ships are moving. Your mini-map also shows mountains and icebergs.
Timer and team line-up: At the top of the screen is battle timer and team lineup. The game ends once the timer hits zero. Green warship icons are your team’s ships whereas orange warship icons are your opponent’s ship lineup. This section also displays your team and your opponent team’s total score.
Direction Control: The control pad is located on the lower-left corner of the screen. Tapping the on-screen up arrow button lets you accelerate your ship. Tap once to get your ship moving, and tap twice to increase its speed. Tapping and holding the down arrow button will make your ship move back. Hold the left and right buttons to turn your ship left/right.
Weapons and Consumables section: Located at the bottom of the screen, in the middle, this section shows a list of items have been equipped to your warship. Two main items are:
1. Damage control kit (fire extinguisher icon), which is used when your ship’s on fire. It suppresses fire and flooding and grants immunity to your ship for a few seconds. It has a cooldown time of 60 seconds.
2. Repair Kit: It restores some HP of your ship in 10 seconds and has a cooldown time of 90 seconds. Use repairs and damage control kits only when needed. You can also equip weapons and supplies to improve your warship’s key stats and boosters to get bonus XP and silver.
Scope and Fire buttons: They are located on the lower-right corner of the screen. Tap the binoculars icon to zoom in so that you can spot ships from a fair distance. Zooming in improves your accuracy and doing this will let you spot enemy warships early on. Tap the fire button to attack enemy, but make sure the aiming icon is just above the waterline. With your ship’s side facing the enemy ship, you will get to fire all guns – just double-tap the fire button.
Ammo Type and Armaments: Ammo type and armaments are located just above the “Fire” button. The latter lets you switch to secondary weapon, such as a torpedo. Just tap your primary weapon to switch to torpedoes. Experiment with different ammo types to see which one deals maximum damage to enemy ships.
Ship HP: The mini ship icon on the right side of the screen shows your ship HP. Green indicates your ship still is in good health, but once changes color to yellow, you should worry about your ship’s HP and consider repairing it using the repair kit.
2. Play Co-Op Battles to Get a Lot of Practice
Battling random players from around the world can be tough if you have just started playing World of Warships Blitz. You should practice maneuvering, spotting targets, getting accurate hits and using torpedoes to attack enemy ships. The best place to do this is the “Co-op Battles” game mode. This is where you team-up with other players to battle AI ships. Co-op mode is fairly easy to play. It’s the best playground to get some serious training before playing the PvP mode.
3. Equip Your Ship with These Key Items Before Battle
Preparing yourself for the ultimate ship battle is not too difficult. You just have to equip the right weapon, supplies and boosters to make sure you have a winning edge over your opponents in PvP battles. Equipping your ship with supplies such as “maintenance packs”, “improved crew rations” and “refined diesel” improves your warship’s Hitpoints, decreases your battery (main guns) reload time/torpedo reload time and improves ship speed respectively. Equipping your ship with weaponry also improves stats, such as decrease in battery reload time, torpedo tube speed etc.
Don’t forget to include boosters. They can help you rake in more XP and silver upon winning a match. Always use silver booster and XP booster before battle.

4. Max out Upgrades to Get Elite Ship Bonus
Before we discuss what’s “Elite Ship Bonus” let’s find out how to upgrade a warship. You will need blueprints to upgrade main guns, hull and other parts of your ship. Win battles to get them. You can also get them by completing “Career Missions” under “Missions”. Completing tasks such as getting promoted to a certain level or purchasing a tier iii ship or higher will let you finish career missions. When you have the required blueprints of a particular ship component, you can start upgrading your ships. It’s better if you have more number of blueprints of the same type as it will help you max out upgrading a particular component faster.
You will have to upgrade particular component a few number of times to max it out. Once you have maxed out upgrading all components of a ship, you will be given an opportunity to choose one of three elite ship bonuses. These bonuses could be an increase in ship HP, decrease in main guns reload time, XP/silver bonus etc. Choose a bonus carefully as you can select it for the first time free.
5. Don’t be an Easy Target
You could be one if your ship stays still. Once you have set sail, keep moving. Your opponents can easily spot your ship, thanks to the zoom option, so try to out-maneuver them by moving forward with your ship’s bow facing your opponents or by hiding behind an iceberg and other obstacles and then moving away from their range. If you have just started playing, then stick to your team and move at a slower pace. Tap the “Up” arrow button once to move slowly. Double-tapping will increase ship speed.
Try to follow other ships actions. Also, learn from your enemies. Once my ship received maximum damage because a group of warships of my enemy’s team went all guns blazing with their sides facing my ship. It was surely a team effort and they were successful in destroying my ship. My mistake: I was out on my own and was not together with my team.
6. Use Zoom to Spot Enemies Right in the Beginning of Battle
Tap the binoculars icon to zoom in. With zoom, you can spot a ship early on in battle and start attacking it if it is within your range. You and your team should launch the first attack and zooming in button will help you achieve this. You can also find out enemy ship position with the help of the mini-map, but the zoom option is used solely to attack an unsuspecting enemy.
If enemy ships are near you, then it’s futile using zoom. Also, when you zoom in to a ship, you can’t see other ships, especially those that silently move in a different direction and set targets. With the zoom option turned on, keep an eye on the map at the upper left corner of battle screen to spot such ships.
