What actions bring players
more XP and credits?

What impact does ship type
have on its profitability?

You can find the answers
in this episode of How It Works.

How It Works

By performing
different actions in battle,

players add credits and
base XP to their virtual account.

The following activities are rewarded:

damaging enemy ships, discovering
or destroying enemy ships or aircraft,

capturing, defending or blocking
capture of bases or key areas,

and for your allies, dealing
damage resulting from your spotting.

Apart from this, XP and credits are
awarded for received and blocked damage,

as well as potential damage—
the sum of maximum damage

any shell, bomb,
or torpedo that either struck,

or passed within a 700 m radius
around your ship, could have inflicted.

Of course, players get
the most XP and credits

for inflicting damage
and sinking ships.

At the same time,

the amount of damage you inflict
on a specific ship is not as important

as the percentage of its entire
HP pool that the damage represents.

For example, if you deal 90% of damage
to Shimakaze and 90% to Montana,

you'll receive the same amount
of XP and credits in both instances.

Destroying an enemy brings you
approximately the same amount of XP

as robbing a ship of 1/10 of its
HP, and credits—1/4 of its HP.

The tier of the
ship that you damage

plays a considerable role in
credits and experience earned.

Thus, if Tier VIII North Carolina

deals 30,000 damage to,
for example, Tier X Yamato,

she will receive
significantly more experience

when compared to dealing the same
amount of damage to Tier VI Fuso.

Destroying enemy aircraft follows
dealing damage and destroying ships

as the second best way
to earn credits and XP.

The aircraft type doesn't matter,

but the tier of the ship
it took off from does.

Last but not least, capturing, defending,
and blocking a base or key area

is another fundamental
in generating XP and credits.

One captured key area

equals 2/3 of a completely
destroyed ship in terms of XP,

and 1/3 in terms of credits.

If several ships capture an area,

the reward depends on the percentage
of your contribution to the capture.

The same principle applies to
the defense of key areas or bases.

The reward for blocking capture
depends directly on its duration.

Apart from these three methods, there
are additional ways of earning in battle.

These bring a small portion of the entire
XP per battle and depend on ship type.

Battleships earn the
most for potential damage,

followed by cruisers, destroyers, and
aircraft carriers in this particular order.

Cruisers receive the most
for spotting an enemy ship,

then by order—destroyers,
aircraft carriers, and battleships.

For damage upon spotting,
destroyers, сruisers, aircraft carriers

and battleships.

Take active part in battle
to earn more XP and credits.

Shoot, capture key areas, provide
reconnaissance, and dodge return fire—

you will receive a deserved
reward for your actions.

maintenance and how much it costs.
