The Economics of Battle

Revision as of 17:43, 2 May 2022

This page is about the new combat bonuses being implemented to replace those currently associated to Signals, Flags, and Camouflages.

It will not focus on the conversion mechanism, but on what the system will look like when it's fully implemented.

For the nonce, here's a link to Dev Blog 318 where the proposed changes and conversion are described.
Here's Dev Blog 217 where it was announced that service cost discounts would be retired with Update 0.10.10.

Service Cost Discounts

• Co-op 25% service cost discount?

There are no service cost discounts.

Customization Bonuses

Previously, Signals, Camouflages, and Flags could provide bonuses to XP and Credits earned in combat. Generally, that is no longer true. However, a few cases survive.

Flag Bonuses

Flags can be hoist on all a captain's ships. A very few non-national flags can provide bonuses to XP and Credits earned in combat. The possession of one such beneficial flag confers a set of bonuses. The possession of two such flags confers a set of larger bonuses. (Beneficial flags need not be hoisted to provide a bonus; the effect it account-wide.)

King of the Sea Flags

The reigning^[1] Kings of the Sea in each region (NA, EU, CIS, SEA) may hoist a unique flag and enjoy it's exceptional benefits. All Hail the Kings!

Table

• One flag | +5% XP | +10% CXP | +5% Credits
• Two flags | +10% XP | +20% CXP | +10% Credits
• KotS | +15% XP | +50% CXP | +15% Credits

Premium Account

Premium account bonuses apply to Ship XP, Commander XP, Free XP, and Credits earned. Warships Premium multiplies each of the XPs by 1.65. Wargaming Premium multiplies each of the XPs by 1.50. Both multiply Credits earned by 1.50.

Clan Base Bonuses

First victory of the day Bonus

Each ship is granted a bonus for her first victory in battle each day. The most common bonus is 50%. (For special occasions 100% and even 200% bonuses appear.) The first win bonus is applied to ship XP, commander XP, and Free XP.

Notes

1. ↑ The Kings possess the flag only for the duration of their reign.
