? | North is one of the larger maps in the game, featuring a wide open area of sea in the west, island congestion in the middle, and a somewhat hybrid area of restricted open sea to the east. Combat most commonly occurs to the far east and far west, whilst destroyers and some cruisers skirmish across the various island gaps in the middle. This map can be played in either three-area [[Ship:Game Modes#Domination|Domination]] or two-base [[Ship:Game_Modes#Standard|Standard Battle]] mode.}} | + | North is one of the larger maps in the game, featuring a wide open area of sea in the west, island congestion in the middle, and a somewhat hybrid area of restricted open sea to the east.

? | Hotspot drops players into the battle in the middle of an island chain somewhere in the South Pacific. The east is heavily constricted by numerous small islands, while the west is dominated by a trio of tall, mountainous outcroppings that allow for limited long-range combat through the gaps. The center is mostly open water, safe only for destroyers and similar ships with low detectability. Beside the two-base [[Ship:Game_Modes#Standard|Standard Battle]] mode, this map can be played in either three-area [[Ship:Game Modes#Domination|Domination]] or a four-base layout, with the teams starting in possession of one base each. }} | + | Hotspot drops players into the battle in the middle of an island chain somewhere in the South Pacific.

Each map in World of Warships is designed to be unique and interesting while promoting fun and engaging gameplay. Most maps are restricted to certain tiers of ships, largely due to the speed and firing range of the ships that will play on it. Map sizes vary from 24x24 km to 48x48 km. It's worth noting that maps are not to scale with the ships. Ships are roughly twice as large than they should be; put another way, each map is twice as small as it should be. This is intentional, and was done to condense gameplay and avoid long matches in which players spend inordinate amounts of time just trying to bring the enemy into engagement range.
The maps listed below are divided currently into two types: Regular and Special. Regular maps are the ones most players are familiar with, as they feature in Random Battles. Special maps on the other hand only appear at certain times, or on special occasions.
Note that "Battle Tier" below refers to the tier of the highest ship in the battle, and not necessarily to the tiers of ALL ships in the battle. For example: a map with a "Battle Tier" of "9-10" can actually be seen by Tier VII ships if they are up-tiered into a Tier IX battle in which that map is chosen.
