Blitz ships. We analyze World of Warships Blitz

On January 18, 2018, the mobile version of World of Warships became available in stores App Store And Google Play Market. Not being big fans of ships, we tried to understand the secrets and tricks of this game, and identified several differences compared to the computer version.

Another game that will distract you from boring lectures, captivate you during your trip and help pass the time while standing in line

The mobile version of World of Warships became available to Filipino, Romanian and Asian players back in July 2017, and only now reached Russia and the CIS countries. In May 2016, Wargaming.net CEO Viktor Kisly cited World of Warships figures - about 7 million registrations. This is a decent indicator compared to tanks. It is clear that it is difficult for ships to compete with World of Tanks, and if we take only Russia, then almost all of our gamers prefer to play tanks rather than other games of the company. With the release of World of Warships Blitz, nothing will change dramatically, but fans sea ​​battle should increase a little.

The same eggs, only in profile

In childhood and adolescence, we all loved to play sea battles on pieces of paper. They drew a field and drew boats. Remember? And then an exciting battle began: they missed, wounded, killed... They played naval battle everywhere - at home, at school, and at lectures at the institute and college. But now this makes no sense when there is naval combat on tablets and phones. It is enough to acquire good mobile Internet and a modern mobile device.

You don't have to start getting acquainted with ships using the PC version. It is not at all necessary for you to pose a danger even in your first battle - World of Warships Blitz has an excellent training mode. You will be informed about everything - what to press so that your ship floats, turns right or left and does not crash into an obstacle, fires a salvo from all its guns.

After training, you will fight your first battle against bots. Only then will you be allowed to sail freely and sent to the port.

It is impossible to skip the tutorial and battle against bots, and some players will find this a disadvantage.

At the start of the game, ships of the 1st level are available to you. To open new ships, you need to win battles and acquire the required amount of silver and experience. The game features 4 classes of ships - destroyers, cruisers, battleships and aircraft carriers and 6 nations - Germany, USSR, USA, Japan, Great Britain and France.

Cruisers, battleships, destroyers... What?

Cruisers are the most versatile class of ships in the game. Strength cruisers - powerful artillery, air defense and good armor, maneuverability and, most importantly, an amazing rate of fire. The most dangerous enemy for a cruiser is a battleship. The armor is not strong enough to withstand hits from the battleship's large-caliber guns. And don’t forget about the danger of aircraft carriers. Despite its powerful air defense, one cruiser cannot cope with a group of enemy fighters.

Destroyers are fast and at the same time stealthy ships. One of the highest priority and desired targets of a destroyer is a battleship. Its low speed and poor maneuverability allow fast destroyers to fire shots and escape with impunity. The most dangerous enemy for destroyers is cruisers. The rapid-fire weapons of cruisers can make a sieve out of a destroyer, so it is advisable to avoid open combat with them. But aircraft carriers are both a tasty target and a constant threat for a destroyer. You need to act carefully against this class of ships and try not to be visible to enemy fighters.

Battleships are the fattest, so to speak, predators. The largest, most armored and most advanced weapons ships in the game. We are very slow, but at the same time we can shoot at long distances and have strong armor. Our goal is the enemy cruiser, and our worst enemies are the enemy aircraft carriers. To realize your enormous potential in battle, you need to stay in a group with cruisers and aircraft carriers, shoot only with certainty due to the long reload time, and carefully plan your route.

The last class of the game is aircraft carriers. An aircraft carrier's torpedo bombers are capable of sending any ship to the bottom, bombers easily destroy enemy air defenses, and fighters protect allied ships from attacks by enemy torpedo bombers and bombers. The main target of an aircraft carrier is enemy battleships and aircraft carriers. This class of ships can destroy anyone, but at the same time, aircraft carriers are vulnerable to everyone. It is advisable for aircraft carriers to remain in the shadows as long as possible. You can stand still for the entire battle, but it is best to stay 15-20 kilometers behind the allied group of ships.

If we once again draw an analogy with tanks, then imagine that battleships are heavy tanks, destroyers are light tanks, cruisers are medium tanks, and aircraft carriers are artillery.

Choose your play style on these ships based on their characteristics and capabilities. Note that at the time of writing in World of Warships Blitz, only two nations can boast of having a top destroyer, cruiser, battleship and aircraft carrier - the United States of America and Japan. They have four full-fledged branches, as it should be, when other nations have one each, and Great Britain and France have two premium ships between them and not a single branch for research. However, with each new patch there will be more and more ships.

The USSR is currently represented by one branch, where at level 1 is the cruiser "Orlan". At level 2 - the cruiser "Novik". At level 3 - the cruiser "Bogatyr". At levels 4 and 5 - the cruisers “Svetlana” and “Kirov”. At levels 6 and 7 - the cruisers Budyonny and Shchors. And at levels 8, 9 and 10 - the cruisers “Chapaev”, “Dm. Donskoy" and "Moscow".

Each ship in the game must be equipped with supplies, equipment, equipment and boosters

Purchased equipment is installed forever, and equipment, supplies and boosters are consumed during battles. Everything is bought for silver or gold. Silver is earned in battles, and gold can only be purchased with real money. Premium gives you the opportunity to farm more silver based on the results of the battle, but is highly dependent on investment real money No. Here, as in the case of tanks, everyone initially decides for themselves: to upgrade new ships quickly and painlessly, or to upgrade slowly, but without donation. In this case, you will have to give up something. For example, from installing equipment on your ships, since one such equipment costs 2,500,000 silver in the game. But it gives a noticeable advantage in the speed of rotation of the turrets and firing range.

Distinctive Features mobile version from PC version

Each battle in World of Warships Blitz lasts not 20 minutes, as on the PC version, but only 6 minutes. Events in the game unfold so quickly that sometimes there is not enough time to make full decisions in the game. This is both a minus and a plus at the same time. On the one hand, you are just loading into battle, but it’s already over and it’s time to start new fight. On the other hand, you don’t have time to gape and get tired. While you are standing in line, sitting at recess or on your lunch break, you can play several matches.

The battles take place in a blitz format of 7 vs 7, rather than 12 vs 12. The size of the game map is approximately a third of its PC version. All ships can restore their HP during battle, and players control artillery not only of the main caliber, but also of the auxiliary caliber. Shots do not damage ships of the team's allies. Otherwise, these are all the same ships with recognizable gameplay.

Several modes to choose from

Battles in 7 vs 7 format in Standard battle, Naval domination or Supremacy modes.

The task in Standard battles is to destroy all ships or capture all bases. In Supremacy, you must score 1000 points to win or earn more points than the enemy team by the end of the battle. In this mode, teams earn points by destroying enemy ships and capturing points.

In Sea Domination you also need to score 1000 points, but you need to do this before the enemy team, by capturing the central point or destroying enemy ships.

Co-op combat. Players fight against artificial intelligence. At the moment, only Standard battle is available - destroy all enemy ships or capture all of their bases. Rewards received in battles against bots are lower than rewards received in Random battles for similar indicators.

Campaign. These are historical battles of varying difficulty on different ships. Carrying out combat missions, you receive rewards in the form of supplies and consumables.

Ranked battles are not yet available for completion. All of the above modes can be played either solo or with a team of up to three people.

Graphics and interface

The game has an intuitive menu that allows you to quickly select a ship of a certain level and nation, put supplies, equipment and equipment on it, and view all the information about it. You can always open the ship development tree and choose which ships to upgrade.

It's hard to expect graphical achievements from a mobile game. And if each ship is worked out down to the smallest details, then you won’t be able to look at the backdrop without tears.

The sea surface and waves look quite realistic, but the terrible textures of stones, mountains and glaciers in the background, as well as the complete lack of anti-aliasing (those annoying ladders) spoil the overall impression of the picture. Fortunately, we rarely come across various glaciers and mountains along our route.

World of Warships Blitz is suitable for anyone. For the player who is tired of tanks and wants something new. For those who are crazy about historicity. For someone who collected a collection of ships as a child. For fans of eSports and World of Tanks. After all, for an ordinary busy person who spends half his life on flights and traffic jams. You won't find a simpler ship game on your phone.

Download and install World of Warships Blitz through and completely free of charge

An excellent mobile shooter and a well-made game, but a very bad simulator

Mobile version World of Warships named and modeled after the mobile version World of Tanks. In both cases, the game was made simpler, more accessible and, most importantly, much faster. As in chess blitz, the game World of Warships Blitz- a series of hasty, intuitive decisions, for which consequences immediately, without a pause, arrive. The maps are three times smaller, only seven ships on each side, six minutes per battle. A completely different experience compared to PC, but on mobile platforms This is the only one in demand.

World of Warships Blitz is generous with content - no one will even notice that something significant was cut out of the mobile version. The game starts with a hundred ships of four great powers - USA, Russia/USSR, Japan and Germany. There's even a single-player campaign set in the Battle of the Coral Sea. Battleships and destroyers, cruisers and aircraft carriers are all in place, as is the usual triangle of balance between classes. The division into armor-piercing and high-explosive shells has been retained. Dive bombers and torpedo bombers from an air group can be controlled directly. Successful hits not only reduce the life bar, but sometimes disable individual components of the ship, and the defeat of the citadel causes enormous damage.

Another thing is that where to look for this citadel now? Almost all historical and technical details have been removed from World of Warships Blitz. Brief description The ship can still be found, but the diagram of the armor belts is no longer there. The leveling system has been radically redesigned: if in the usual World of Warships it was built around real-life ship modernization schemes (relatively speaking, replacing torpedoes of an old model with a new one), then in World of Warships Blitz the player “raises the level” of each of the ship’s components - from the hull to the fire control system. And so - five times for each. And once he reaches the maximum, he will also be able to choose an ultimate skill from the three available. Everything is extremely intuitive, especially if you have previously played any fantasy RPG about orcs and elves.

If World of Warships is a careful pampering with models of your favorite ships from the naval museum, around which the game was built with some difficulty, then World of Warships Blitz is first and foremost a game. Everything in it was done according to the logic of modern game design, and not in search of a compromise between respect for ships and retaining a mass audience. Without armor belt schemes, it is easier for the player to think that high-explosive shells are a regular attack with a chance of arson and guaranteed damage, while armor-piercing shells are an attack with a chance of critical damage and a chance to miss. And it’s immediately clear what to choose and in what situation! Or now every ship, including destroyers, has a consumable repair kit that restores the “health” line. This is logical, because in battle you always need a real first aid kit, and not just an emergency kit for extinguishing fires and floods. Can destroyers turn around almost on the spot? That's why they are the fastest class. Like a thief in an RPG.

In World of Warships Blitz, there are no bad decisions with long-term consequences. You can't accidentally screw up a battleship captain's build by buying him the carrier skill. Because there is no separate captain upgrade at all! It was removed as an unnecessary entity that only confuses beginners and complicates the interface. There is no friendly fire damage in World of Warships Blitz, how come? It's unrealistic, but few people like to die from a random torpedo from a rookie. Has the reloading of torpedo tubes and main caliber guns been greatly accelerated? If you miss, you don't have to wait a minute and a half for your next chance!

But World of Warships Blitz has an excellent innovation that would not hurt original game, - direct control over auxiliary artillery. After the battleship fires its main battery, you don’t have to wait for reloading, but continue to fire from smaller guns. When enemies creep up on your aircraft carrier, you have something to respond to them, and manually, without relying on AI. Once, in an artillery duel, I sank not only a destroyer, but also a half-dead cruiser! Doesn't this happen in life? But it's fun!

All World experience of Warships Blitz is designed for the fact that something is constantly happening to the player. He always has something and someone to shoot at. After the battle, he always receives rewards. If he goes into the arsenal, he will find something to upgrade. All actions, all events are divided into small, easily digestible portions and flow in an endless stream - as long as the person does not leave the game.

Another thing is that behind this stream of icons and notifications, the thousand-ton carcasses of battleships and aircraft carriers are lost, the vast expanses of the sea are not visible, and the grinding of crushed metal is not heard. Good games know how to deceive the senses: car simulators give a feeling of speed, flight simulators - flight, and World of Warships - with all the simplifications! - participation in a real sea battle. Carefully sailing along the tropical islands on the battleship Fuso, firing from the main caliber at American cruisers, is already a pleasure. Every turn, every salvo, every camera fly around the ship is already a pleasure. And World of Warships Blitz is just another good one mobile game, in which the names of ships can be replaced with fictitious ones and nothing will change.

This is partly due to the fact that the audience on mobile platforms is different, partly due to the fact that completely different people made the game, and on their own. The Taiwanese company KingNet, which developed World of Warships Blitz by order and under the leadership of Wargaming, showed back in 2016 own game on the same topic - Thunder Fleet. Judging by the trailer, with approximately the same content and the same mechanics, but a slightly different interface. Wargaming.net does not comment on the fate of Thunder Fleet; PR manager Ivan Zhivitsa responded: “As far as we know, both products will coexist.” However, nothing has been heard about Thunder Fleet for a year and a half, so you can draw your own conclusions.

World of Warships Blitz has no significant interface problems. The ships are still slow enough for the touch controls to keep up with them. The only thing I didn’t like was that torpedo bombers cannot be ordered to follow to a point and wait there. If they take off, they must attack someone, but this is not always necessary. The game does not slow down on the iPhone 7 Plus, but it also looks normal, without visual revelations. This is a good time killer and a worthy World of Warships surrogate to play on the road or on a business trip. Another thing is that this is not a museum of real warships of the Second World War. So, a collection of boats.

World of Warships Blitz is new game from the famous creators of Wargaming. The developers have quite a lot to their credit popular games, which have earned approval among the masses, one of these can be considered the world-famous World of Tanks. If you have not yet had time to familiarize yourself with these genres, then now you can download World of Warships Blitz to your computer and enjoy beautiful world wars.

Main plot:

The main plot is that each player will have to take control of ships that are considered military, since each of them fought in the Second World War. It is worth highlighting 4 main classes of ships that are found in gameplay: Battleships, Aircraft Carriers, Cruisers and Destroyers.

The interface of the game is reminiscent of World of Tanks, which can be seen from the very beginning of the launch. In the learning process, the main task will be to learn how to shoot, this will help in the future in battles against opponents. At the next stage, the player will be asked to familiarize himself with the hangar, in which it will be possible to restore damaged elements in the event of an unsuccessful battle.

To hone your skills, you will need to go through the first training battle, in which the main opponent will be the computer. During the battle, your ships will move very quickly, which will allow you to dodge enemy attacks, and with the help of precise aim, you can win with minimal losses.

IN game World of Warships Blitz on PC features battleships from various countries, such as the USA, Japan, Germany, which makes the gameplay even more interesting.

I would also like to note that the battles last relatively short, on average six minutes. To win, you need to destroy other ships, as well as destroy or capture the enemy base.

In the gameplay you can use certain currencies - silver and gold. The first can be obtained if you win a naval battle, but the second is more difficult to get, only gold coins will be awarded for real money. The gameplay has the ability to use several modes. For example, the standard one, in which it will be possible to participate in a battle against seven ships. To diversify the process, you can use battles with bots, or battles for ratings.
