Modern Warships, as a military mobile game that integrates sea and air joint operations, requires players to choose different types of warships based on battlefield needs to form a powerful fleet. In the 2025 version, some warships stand out with their super combat power. The editor will summarize the top ten strongest warships in Modern Warships for everyone. The editor's summary will combine actual combat performance, recommend the top ten warships most worth cultivating in the current version, and analyze their core gameplay and suitable strategies.
The Admiral Nakhimov is currently the most comprehensively capable battleship in the version, with 600,000 ultra-high HP making it a "mobile fortress" on the front line. The main gun of this ship uses an electromagnetic railgun, with a single burst reaching 470,000 damage, and paired with Bulava missiles, it can suppress enemy fleets at a distance. In terms of air defense, it is equipped with 12 sets of free air defense slots, which can intercept most incoming missiles, but its complete lack of anti-submarine capability is a fatal shortcoming, requiring teammates to cooperate in dealing with submarine threats.
The Blade Cruiser firmly ranks in the T0 tier with its extremely high damage and mobility, and is a common core force in high-level matches. Its single round rocket burst (such as TRG230) can easily exceed 200,000 damage, and with a small hit area, it can effectively avoid missile fire. In terms of air defense, it can intercept over 90% of aerial threats when paired with Standard 6 missiles, making it suitable for countering enemy bomber formations.
The Fletcher Destroyer, as an all-rounder, has a 3-free main gun + dual missile configuration, giving it both burst and sustained output. This ship's killing ability is comparable to that of a battleship, with a 24-knot speed and excellent air defense, making it adaptable to various battlefield environments. It is recommended to pair it with high-damage main guns (such as MK45) and fast-reloading missiles (such as Sparrowhawk), focusing on mid-to-close-range suppression.
The Smart8000 is the most overpowered destroyer in the current version, with a 30-knot top speed and high maneuverability, making it a "phantom killer" on the battlefield. This ship's lock-on missile, "Tirpitz," has extremely strong penetration capabilities, and when paired with Mako torpedoes, it can instantly deal over 300,000 burst damage. Additionally, the Smart8000 can carry two armed helicopters to enhance anti-submarine or anti-ship output, and its air defense performance is also excellent, making it suitable for flank raids or rapid repositioning support roles, with very good performance in high-level matches.
The Type 055 Destroyer (commonly known as the "Nanchang" in the game) is a top-tier warship that combines firepower, maneuverability, and tactical value, and is highly favored by players. As a virtual version of the strongest destroyer in the Chinese Navy, the Type 055 in the game retains some of the performance characteristics of the real ship, carrying 3 missile launchers, 1 main gun, 3 rocket launchers, 6 air defense guns, etc. The Type 055 has extremely high tactical flexibility and can play a stable role in both PVE map clearing and PVP competition.
The Kronstadt Battleship is one of the most terrifying warships in terms of missile firepower. When firing from a fixed point, once the enemy's heat-seeking decoys are used up, it can unleash a burst of up to 400,000 damage. Its stealth mechanism and electronic countermeasure system make it extremely powerful when advancing or holding a position, but its 16-knot speed and complete lack of anti-submarine capability limit its solo combat effectiveness.
The Aegis Yamato is centered around a 460mm main gun with high sustained damage, combined with fast-reloading secondary guns and rocket launchers for seamless strikes, excelling in both sustained output and killing. After being enhanced, its main and secondary gun volley damage reaches 190,000, with extremely high long-range sniper accuracy, but its increasingly weak air defense capability has become a key shortcoming limiting its performance.
The Long Beach Cruiser is known for its extremely strong firepower, with excellent air defense and anti-ship capabilities, and is a frequent participant in competitions. On large maps, it can engage in "turtle" tactics with high HP and active air defense; on small maps, it relies on its strong firepower and cover to suppress the enemy, making it very suitable for guerrilla tactics.
The Type 2145 Destroyer has extremely high vision and powerful firepower, with quick maneuverability and decent air defense. Although its 1+1+2 missile configuration is slightly complex, its overall performance is excellent, making it one of the most cost-effective golden destroyers in the current version.
The Nemesis Aircraft Carrier is a symbol of legendary players, far surpassing other carriers in strength. It can be equipped with two groups of attack aircraft paired with any mainstream strong attack aircraft, causing devastating damage to surface targets. With 8 sets of automatic guns and 8 sets of free air defense, it is both offensive and defensive, and can submerge to avoid damage when in danger.
The 2025 version's strong warships each have their own unique features. The Nakhimov is suitable for steady and solid play, the Smart8000 focuses on mobile assassination, and the Blade Cruiser balances firepower and survivability. Players can choose based on their operational preferences, with battleships recommended for beginners and destroyers for advanced players to show off their skills. By reasonably pairing equipment and tactics, these warships can help you dominate the seas.
