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 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%.

Damage Control Party

The basic consumable found on all ships, it instantly repairs all module incapacitations, fires, and floods. Unlike most consumables which have limited uses, Damage Control Party has infinite uses and can be used as many times as the player wishes (provided they have something to repair). In addition, the ship is immune to incapacitations, fires, and floods that occur during the duration of the consumable. 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

Learn more about how Repair Party works.

This consumable repairs damage by restoring a ship's hit points. It is found on battleships of all tiers, as well as Tier IX and X cruisers (plus most British cruisers, high tier Russian destroyers, Tier VIII premium American destroyer Kidd, Tier VIII Japanese premium cruiser Atago, and Tier VI German premium cruiser Admiral Graf Spee). Health restored per second is a percentage of the ship's maximum health pool.

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.

Note that not all damage can be repaired. The following percentages of damage taken are eligible to be restored by Repair Party:

Hit Type	Amount Restorable	Exceptions
Hits to citadel Overpenetrating 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 Overpenetrating hits Torpedo damage to non-citadel areas	50%	60% for British battleships
Fire damage Flooding damage Ramming damage	100%

Catapult Fighter

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 all battleships Tier VII and higher. Note that some ships require a hull upgrade before this consumable becomes 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. It is rather ineffective alone, and is often shot down by fighters or the rear gunners of bombers. However, combined with the Defensive AA Fire () consumable it can wreak havoc on enemy planes. Most importantly, it slows down enemy planes, holding fighters in place and reducing torpedo and dive bomber accuracy. Since it has an orbital path, it can potentially spot incoming torpedoes if it happens to fly over them. It may also detect concealed enemy ships that come within its visual range.

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

Spotting Aircraft

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 American 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. 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.

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.

Smoke Generator

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

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.

When activated, a boost that grants +8% means that a ship's engine will operate at 108%; or, in other words, it will provide an 8% increase in top speed. This means a ship with 35 knot top speed will reach 37.8 knots. It should be used when being fired upon, as it has a chance of fouling up an enemy's aim (by a small margin). If captains are rushing to attack/defend an area, this consumable should be used as well. 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 small 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.

Main Battery Reload Booster

Available only to French VI+ cruisers and premium battleship Jean Bart, this consumable halves the reload speed on a ship's main battery for 15 or 30 seconds. The consumable allows players to speed up the reloading of their main battery a little bit to be able to fire a knockout salvo at the enemy in critical situations.

This consumable's effect runs continuously: if it is started or ended while a reload is in progress, the reload bonus will be prorated for the length of time spent under the consumable's effect. In order to maximize the bonus, captains should fire just before activating the consumable, and it is not necessary to time the end of its duration so that it lines up with a reload.

Torpedo Reload Booster

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

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

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: 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

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.
