The passion of real naval battles can also be felt in Modern Warships. This game, with its extremely realistic weapon systems and deep, complex tactical depth, has successfully created the most immersive and stunning naval battle experience on mobile. For new commanders, it's necessary to know the Modern Warships beginner guide. How to gain an advantage at the start and the core gameplay that can help players rise quickly, including some small tips that I've noticed, will all be shared with you.
Firstly, the tutorial missions. After you successfully complete the new player guidance process, you will immediately unlock the frontline map. This battlefield gathers a large number of AI opponents, and there are few terrain coverings, providing a good training ground. At this point, use helicopters to accurately mark enemy targets, then combine with the powerful firepower of the PC3 Hurricane, launching 6 Griffin missiles, which can completely annihilate the entire enemy fleet in just 2 minutes. You can also earn a generous reward of up to 20,000 gold coins from a single battle. Meanwhile, you must prioritize completing the Deep Sea Hunter anti-submarine mission three times daily, as this is an important way to obtain valuable modification blueprints and glittering gold bars.
In terms of no-spending strategy planning, you need to carefully allocate resources, concentrating all available resources to first upgrade the highly powerful Club missiles. Their close-range instant-kill feature is very useful in close combat. At the same time, the importance of the TMF155 critical cannon cannot be ignored. As the core force for mid-range output, it can deal a certain amount of damage to enemies from a safe distance. In the construction of air defense systems, initially, you can use heat-seeking decoys as a transitional solution. Once your strength increases, gradually complete the more powerful SeaRAM + Kortik-M combination to build an air defense line.
Regarding the use of gold bars, there is also a clear priority order. The top priority is to purchase a high-performance Horizon-class destroyer. The remaining gold bars should be reasonably invested in unlocking ASW anti-submarine rockets and Osprey helicopters, which can increase your anti-submarine efficiency by 30%. During the early stages, you can use the PC3 Hurricane, with its 6-shot firepower capable of achieving a close-range instant-kill effect, plus a high speed of 35 knots, allowing it to hit and run in battle. If paired with the unique "hide behind the mountain" tactic, i.e., cleverly hiding behind the mountain and launching a surprise attack, its money-making efficiency in solo matches is absolutely top-notch.
Braunschweig is one of the recommended initial choices, with its powerful suppression from multiple missiles making it stronger in team coordination. It is definitely a good choice during the early transition phase. The Horizon-class destroyer is also a recommended option, where the OTO 76 main gun, in addition to its offensive capabilities, can also provide air defense. Combined with the Starfish missile and HUWS torpedo, I particularly recommend using the ambush tactic behind the mountain. At the beginning, hide in the reef area on the east side of the volcanic island, using the terrain advantage to avoid 87% of missile locks, then suddenly rush out, sinking the enemy destroyer with two close-range missiles.
Nakhimov, with the highest health in the game, has a 35% increased burst power from the combination of rocket launchers and long-range missiles, making it very suitable for front-line fortification and pinpoint strikes. However, due to its mobility shortcomings, it needs teammates to provide necessary cover to fully utilize its strength. The Razor Cruiser, with its minimal hit area, achieves a 40% evasion rate and an additional 30% increase in air defense interception efficiency, specifically countering enemy carriers. Although the operation threshold is high, once mastered, its potential is almost limitless.
During the battle, when encountering powerful enemies, prioritize dealing with the more threatening battleships, cruisers, and other heavy warships. At the same time, closely monitor your own health. Once you find your health is low, use items like repair kits to fix or avoid damage. After each battle, if the kill count reaches 5 or more, you will receive generous points. Assists also add points for players. Additionally, the rewards for the first ten battles each day are extremely generous, with up to 1500 points available.
Apart from the above key points, there are also some practical tips. For example, by checking in daily, you can easily get 300 tokens. If you are eager to level up, you can also use gold bars to buy tokens to speed up the process. At the beginning of the battle, quickly find a suitable cover, such as an island or rock, which can effectively block enemy missiles and significantly reduce the damage to the ship. However, be careful not to let the cover block the path of your ship's guns and missiles, as this can affect the attack effect.
When your ship is hit and catches fire, you must immediately use firefighting tools to extinguish it; otherwise, it will continue to lose health, and in severe cases, it may even sink. Also, before launching missiles, make sure the shooting path is unobstructed to ensure the missiles hit the target accurately. Try to keep the enemy within your field of view to better aim and track. Teamwork is always the key to victory. In team battles, actively communicate with your teammates, use radar and other equipment to report enemy movements to your teammates, and support each other. Do not act alone. Completing daily activity tasks can earn 60 gold bars, and sharing the game can earn an additional 10 gold bars. The duel arena is one of the main places to earn gold coins. Winning the first match of the day can earn 30 gold bars, and winning a total of 20 matches in a week can earn 600 gold bars at once.
The above Modern Warships beginner guide hopes to provide reference and assistance to new commanders. Naval battles place more emphasis on the combination and usage of ships. With a rich variety of combinations, there are many options, so the differences in matchups are greater. At this point, the techniques focus more on understanding and operating the ships.
