Quickly earning money with modern warships is the most important thing for newcomers, and quickly earning money with modern warships is essentially about improving your combat efficiency. Deal the highest damage in the shortest time while reducing the chances of failure. The key is to choose the right ship that can instantly defeat enemies, specifically pick matches against AI, and increase your output. Below, I will share with you from choosing the right ship to operational details on how to achieve quick money-making, so that even as a newcomer, you can be rich.

For Level 1 ships, it's recommended to use the PC3 Hurricane, which is cheap and effective at 100,000 USD. It comes with Griffin missiles that can fire six rounds up close, capable of destroying a fragile destroyer in just 3 seconds. In AI matches, opponents will only charge blindly, allowing us to win quickly, ensuring at least 60,000 USD per 3-minute match. For Level 3 ships, use Kirov or Type 055. Kirov carries Granite missiles with long range, while Type 055 has strong overall capabilities. After upgrading all missiles and main guns to purple quality, one match can steadily earn over 150,000 USD. Level 2 ships are generally not as good, with low damage and a high chance of being focused; it's suggested to skip them.

Storm map is a must for money grinding, as it has no mountains or islands, offering an open view where missiles and rockets can be fired freely. Start by rushing to the center, targeting destroyers and submarines directly. When encountering battleships, maneuver around the terrain to wear them down. The Arctic map also works well, with enemy ships clustered at the spawn point. Using the Horizon-class with lead-filled 130mm main guns, two shots can take out a destroyer, making it very easy to earn 200,000 USD in 2 minutes. Avoid complex maps (like Malacca) as navigating to find targets is a waste of time.

At the start, rush in without thinking, prioritizing fragile ships, and firing all missiles and rockets at them. When facing battleships, don't engage head-on; instead, maneuver around the terrain and use the main gun to slowly wear them down, then switch to missiles when they are low on health. Manually switch anti-ship missiles for air defense, and immediately run to the edge of the map if marked for explosion. Use repair skills when low on health but don't be greedy; survival is more important than dealing extra 20,000 damage. Since the AI in AI matches is quite dumb, as long as you don't die, you can keep grinding. Spend all gold on missiles and main guns, upgrading to purple quality doubles the damage. Prioritize exchanging for Granite missile fragments, which are universally useful in Level 3 matches. Low-spending players are strongly advised to focus solely on developing the Type 055.

The essence of money grinding is a game of efficiency, with three core points: using high-burst ships to instantly defeat enemies, playing simple maps to save time, and stacking resources on output equipment. Use Level 1 ships in lower-level matches and Level 3 ships in higher-level matches. The simpler the operation, the higher the efficiency. Following this strategy and grinding enough time daily, it's entirely possible to obtain the Zumwalt in a week. Everyone, go grind for gold!
