Consumables

Learn more about consumables (starting at 0:48).

Consumables are temporary bonuses that have strong effects with a limited number of uses. They are always consumed after each battle, so captains must be aware how they work and how they are obtained. Choosing the right consumables can be the difference between a good game or a great game. They could also be the difference between winning and losing.

There are a variety of consumables in World of Warships; some are only available to certain ship classes at certain tiers. Every consumable has a version that is free of charge and another that is available for purchase with either doubloons or credits. Premium versions of consumables with charges grant an additional one charge as well as decreasing the cooldown by 33%. Premium consumables cost either 15  or 22,500 to mount. Players can also choose to automatically resupply these consumables after each battle.

The below information contains base values only. Commander skills and signal flags can change this information. For example, Jack of All Trades decreases reload times of all consumables by 5%. High Alert decreases the reload time for the Damage Control Party consumable by 10%. Superintendent adds one additional charge for each consumable. Finally, the November Foxtrot () signal flag, earned via the High Caliber achievement, reduces reload time of all consumables by 5%.

Ships with unusual consumable characteristics are listed first in each section and override lower entries that would otherwise cover that ship.

Damage Control Party Edit

The basic consumable found on all ships, it instantly repairs all module incapacitations, fires, and floods, and provides immunity from the same during its duration. Unlike most consumables, which have limited uses, Damage Control Party typically has infinite uses, limited only by its cooldown. The cooldown varies per type of ship, and can be further reduced based on the skills her commander has and the signals that have been mounted. The duration also varies per ship: typically 5 seconds for destroyers, while most battleships' last for 15 seconds (some as high as 20 seconds).

It may be tempting to instantly fix any damage on a ship, but if under intense fire, waiting may be the wiser decision. Particularly in destroyers where modules get incapacitated very easily, waiting until something major breaks is a lot smarter than wasting Damage Control Party on a simple armament incapacitation. It may very well save the ship, since losing a gun or torpedo launcher is a lot less important than losing the rudder or engine. In carriers it may be a little bit different. If a carrier's flight deck catches fire, it may be wise to repair it in order to land and/or launch aircraft. Knowing the right time to use the Damage Control Party consumable is a key skill to learn in World of Warships.

Repair Party Edit

This consumable repairs damage by restoring the ship's hit points over a duration. It is found on battleships of all tiers, all Tier IX and X cruisers, most British cruisers, and some assorted other ships. Health restored per second is a percentage of the ship's maximum health pool. As of Update 0.7.7, this does include the extra hit points from the Survivability Expert commander skill.

Note that not all damage is eligible to be repaired ("light damage"). The following percentages of damage taken is considered to be "light damage" and is eligible to be restored by Repair Party:

Hit Type	Amount Restorable	Exceptions
Hits to citadel Torpedo damage to citadel areas	10%	33% for all non-British cruisers except Admiral Graf Spee 50% for British cruisers of Tier VIII or higher
Regular penetrating hits Torpedo damage to non-citadel areas	50%	60% for British battleships
Overpenetrating hits Fire damage Flooding damage Ramming damage	100%

The use of this consumable is the most common way to earn the achievement Dreadnought. The other way to earn this achievement is to destroy five ships with a ship captained by the unique commander Isoroku Yamamoto.

Catapult Fighter Edit

Launches a single fighter from the ship's catapult. It is available on Tier IV and higher Japanese cruisers, Tier V-VIII British cruisers, Tier V and higher American cruisers, and Tier VI and higher German cruisers. It is also available to most battleships Tier VII and higher. Note that hull upgrades may affect whether this consumable is available. Ships with catapult-launched aircraft usually must choose between equipping either a Catapult Fighter or a Spotting Aircraft ().

Once launched, a Catapult Fighter will automatically orbit around the ship at a radius of about 3.25 km and intercept any nearby enemy planes. With only a single plane per "squadron", the fighter is not capable of much damage and can easily be disposed of by a carrier fighter squadron. However, like carrier fighters it will lock enemy fighter squadrons in place; or slow down and increase the dispersion of attack aircraft. This can buy some critical time to evade, for other AA assets to thin the enemy squadron, or tip the balance in a close fighter battle.

In addition to defending from enemy aircraft, the fighter can spot torpedoes or enemy ships that pass near it, allowing it to function as a sort of poor-man's Hydroacoustic Search/Surveillance Radar. In this role it offers a longer duration and a faster cooldown than Spotting Aircraft (), but a shorter orbital radius.

Note: Catapult Fighter can be exchanged for either Spotting Aircraft () or Surveillance Radar () (on eligible ships).

				CATAPULT FIGHTER I		CATAPULT FIGHTER II
				Cost: Free		Cost: 15  OR 22,500
Class or Ship	Tier	Nation(s)	Duration	Cooldown	Charges	Cooldown	Charges

Cruiser	Varies	Varies	360 seconds	180 seconds	Varies	120 seconds	+1
Battleship	Varies	Varies	90 seconds	180 seconds	Varies	120 seconds	+1

The base number of charges depends on the specific ship. Practically, due to the long duration and cooldown, the number of charges is rarely a concern.

Spotting Aircraft Edit

Similar to the Catapult Fighter () consumable, the Spotting Aircraft consumable launches a plane from the ship's catapult. However, instead of attacking enemy aircraft, the unarmed Spotting Aircraft increases the ship's range by 20% and gives an "aerial" perspective when scoping. It is available on all Tier IX and X cruisers, Russian cruisers from Tier VI and higher, British cruisers from Tiers V-VIII, as well as all Japanese battleships from Tier IV and higher and US battleships from Tier VI and higher. Ships with access to catapult-launched aircraft must usually choose between equipping either a Catapult Fighter () or a Spotting Aircraft.

The aerial perspective does tend to take some getting used to:

• More vertical lead on the screen is required due to the angle; to make matters worse, most crosshairs are purely horizontal.
• The auto-tracking feature (if used) tends to drift more than it does for the normal zoom.
• The view covers a smaller area due to the angle, so careless zooming may end up with no ships on the screen.

On the other hand, the aerial perspective can be quite handy when shooting at ships behind islands, or at tracers coming out of smoke.

Like the Catapult Fighter (), it can potentially spot incoming torpedoes and ships if it happens to fly near them. While its duration is shorter and its cooldown slower, it does have a larger orbital radius of about 4.25 km.

				SPOTTING AIRCRAFT I		SPOTTING AIRCRAFT II
				Cost: Free		Cost: 15  OR 22,500
Class or Ship	Tier	Nation(s)	Duration	Cooldown	Charges	Cooldown	Charges
Musashi	IX		120 seconds	180 seconds	5	120 seconds	6
Other ships	Varies	Varies	100 seconds	360 seconds	Varies	240 seconds	+1

As with Catapult Fighter (), the number of charges depends on the specific ship. Refer there for the number of charges.

Smoke Generator Edit

Found on all destroyers, British cruisers of Tier V and above, and a few premium cruisers such as Mikhail Kutuzov. It deploys vision-obscuring smoke, and reduces the enemy detection capabilities within the area of smoke. However, it also impairs your vision and it will be extremely difficult to escape if they are able to spot you within. Your teammates will be required to spot enemies for you, but staying in a smoke screen is generally safe.

When activated, the Smoke Screen consumable will generate "puffs" of smoke at regular intervals for the emission duration listed, as long as the ship generating it has moved far enough away from the center of the last "puff". These puffs are easily visible by enabling "Show Smoke Boundaries" in the bottom right corner of the Settings > Controls window. Enabling this option will show the boundaries of smoke clouds laid by both friends and enemies once you are at close range to the border of the cloud. British cruiser smoke "puffs" are larger in diameter than those laid by destroyers.

A smoke screen can be used in a variety of ways, from providing cover to your allies to blocking off line of sight through a choke point. As a destroyer — especially a Japanese destroyer — a smoke screen should be deployed if being fired upon. Ships moving faster than 12.5 knots will not be enveloped in their own smoke clouds; ships moving at very high speed will lay very large swaths of smoke behind them for teammates to use.

A tactic known as "invisi-firing" involving ships with guns to be able to fire without being detected and sometimes involving a smoke screen. Many mid-tier players employ this tactic and sit still in the smoke screen, landing shells on enemies without them retaliating. Most American and Russian destroyers can perform this easily due to their fast-firing guns and long range. It is not entirely foolproof, since enemies can still see shell arcs emerging from the smoke cloud and may be able to trace those shell arcs and shoot in your general location. In addition, someone must spot enemies outside of the smoke screen for you, or else you will have nothing to fire at. It is not recommended to attempt this unless you know the enemy will not target you. Even then, enemy ships may simply send torpedoes into the smoke and get an easy kill.

Ships concealed by smoke are not revealed when they fire their anti-aircraft or secondary battery guns.

Note: Japanese destroyers Shiratsuyu, Kagero, and Yūgumo can exchange this consumable for Torpedo Reload Booster ().

Engine Boost Edit

As the name implies, this consumable enhances a ship's engine performance. It is found on all destroyers, but it can be swapped out for other consumables such as Defensive AA Fire () on some late-hull versions of American destroyers and high-tier Russian destroyers; it is also available to French cruisers at Tier VI and up.

While Engine Boost is active, the ship's top speed is increased by the listed percentage. For example, a +8% boost on a ship with a 35 knot top speed can reach 37.8 knots. Also importantly, it increases the ship's acceleration by a larger but unlisted percentage. Combined, these can help chase down or escape enemies, enhance the ship's ability to dodge incoming fire, or save some precious seconds when repositioning to a new front.

Note that Engine Boost will not work if a ship's engine module is disabled (even if the commander has the Last Stand skill).

A cosmetic effect of thicker engine smoke will also appear during the duration of the consumable, however Engine Boost has no impact on a ship's concealment value.

Torpedo Reload Booster Edit

Available on select high-tier Japanese destroyers, this consumable instantly reduces a ship's torpedo reload time to either 5 or 8 seconds. This consumable is great for players who like the "ninja torpedo" strategy on Japanese destroyers: stay out of detection range and launch torpedoes. Captains can use the Torpedo Reload Booster immediately after firing all of their torpedoes, then fire a full salvo again in short order. This often surprises an enemy who feels safe after dodging the first salvo. Captains must choose between Smoke Generator () and Torpedo Reload Booster (except on Akizuki). Tier VI premium Pan-Asian cruiser Huanghe can also equip this consumable instead of Hydroacoustic Search ().

Hydroacoustic Search Edit

Available on all cruisers Tier IV and above as well as most German battleships (from Tier VIII) and all German destroyers (from Tier VI), this consumable increases detection capability of enemy torpedoes and ships. It will detect any ship regardless of any obstacles such as smoke screens or islands from 3.48 km to 4.92 km depending on tier. It will also detect torpedoes from 2.52 km to 3.42 km, roughly double to triple a typical torpedo's detection range. German cruisers and Tier IX and X battleships have a superior version of Hydroacoustic Search with greater range. The torpedo detection bonus stacks with the Vigilance commander skill. This consumable can be very useful for hunting destroyers and detecting torpedoes early enough to properly evade them.

As of Patch 0.5.16, German destroyers of Tiers VI-X and Tier VIII premium destroyer Loyang are the only destroyers in the game that have access to Hydroacoustic Search.

Note: This consumable can be exchanged for Defensive AA Fire () (on applicable cruisers only).

Defensive AA Fire Edit

The most vital consumable against aircraft. It temporarily increases the damage of anti-aircraft guns as well as decreases the accuracy of enemy bombers. This means whatever target these bombers are attempting to hit will take significantly less damage. This consumable is available only on non-British cruisers from Tier VI and up and aircraft carriers from Tier VIII and up. Some late-hull American destroyers can also equip it in exchange for their Engine Boost () consumable. Cruisers equipped with Defensive AA Fire should always be escorting friendly ships when the threat of an air strike is present.

For aircraft carriers, this consumable lasts much longer but has fewer uses and a much longer cooldown. It is essential to prevent early sniping by an enemy aircraft carrier. While active, the effectiveness of the carriers' AA guns are increased by a factor of 1.25 for American carriers, and 1.75 for Japanese carriers. Unlike cruisers, this consumable does not affect all the AA guns on an aircraft carrier - only the 40mm AA guns will receive the benefit, with the exception of Shokaku (her 25mm AA guns receive the benefit instead, since she is not equipped with 40mm AA guns).

Note that triggering this consumable will automatically activate AA guns if they have been manually disabled (default 'P' to toggle). Likewise, manually disabling AA guns will cause this consumable's duration to terminate early, which can be done to start the cooldown earlier if desired.

Note: Cruisers (other than British and Italian cruisers) can exchange this consumable for Hydroacoustic Search (). Italian cruisers can mount both Defensive AA Fire and Hydroacoustic Search at the same time.

Surveillance Radar Edit

Available for British, American, and Russian cruisers, as well as Pan-Asian destroyers starting from Tier VIII and upwards. British and American cruisers have longer lasting duration, while Russian cruisers have longer detection range. Pan-Asian destroyer radar is of very short duration, but does extend past their typical detection radii.

This consumable is excellent for hunting down destroyers, as it instantly reveals all enemy ships within the radar's specified radius, regardless of any obstacles such as smoke screens or islands. Additionally, it can extend view range in cyclones. For example, the American Tier VIII cruiser Baltimore can see enemy ships at 9.0 km during a cyclone, giving her a 1.0 km advantage. Note that this will only work for radars with a range of more than 8.0 km (as cyclones hard cap visibility range at 8.0 km). While active during a cyclone, Surveillance Radar will extend a ship's visibility range out to match the ship's radar range for the duration of the radar consumable. This allows radar-equipped ships to potentially fire their main battery undetected for a time.

While this consumable can detect ships, be wary to not confuse it with Hydroacoustic Search (), which can detect both torpedoes as well as ships. Surveillance Radar will only detect enemy ships.

Note: For Tier VIII Russian cruiser Chapayev, Spotting Aircraft () consumable is replaced with Surveillance Radar upon selecting Hull (B).

American cruisers only: This consumable can be exchanged with Catapult Fighter () or — at Tier X — Spotting Aircraft ().

British cruisers only: This consumable can be be exchanged with Smoke Generator () at Tier IX and X, or Smoke Generator (), Catapult Fighter (), and Spotting Aircraft () at Tier VIII.

Pan-Asian destroyers only: This consumable can be exchanged with Smoke Generator () at Tier VIII, IX, and X.

As of Update 0.5.15.1, Missouri is the only battleship in the game that can use this consumable.
