Earning Credits Efficiently

The best way to earn credits is to do your bit and survive:

• Do some damage and sink some ships.


• Capture islands, radars or airfields.


• Recieve less damage. Repairing your ship will eat away your credits. Repairs are automatic at the end of a match.


• Dont get sunk. This is a pretty big one. Repairing a sunken ship costs even more.

Sinking a ship will also get you credit rewards. More about those later.

Try reading the after action report to see how much repair costs were on your ship if sunk or damaged. This will show you what you should improve on in your next battle.

The key here is to be very strict about how you play. Dont rush into battle, needlessly take damage, and sink. And never get sunk within the first few minutes of a match.

If your team are winning and you get sunk mid-game, stay until the end and claim the victory and more credits

Credit Rewards

With the current state of the game, you initially find that credits are hard to come by. The primary cause of this is ship repairs.

You are left for the majority of your progression up the ship tree in a dilemma: Do I decide to buy a ship upgrade, or do I save for the next ship. Early on it is quicker to skip the upgrades and buy the next ship.

But as you start working up the teirs you may want to purchase the odd upgrade or two, and maybe some items for your ship, depending on which ship you are in. But you can only afford to do this because of the credit rewards you get.

These rewards are a joy to cash in, they counter the costs of repairs and actually boost your income significantly each day.

The best method is to sink 5 ships of every class per day. You will earn 1 reward for 1 ship type that you sink (500 credits), then 1 reward for sinking 5 of those types of ship (2000 credits).

So for each class of ship you can earn 2 rewards (2500 credits in total)

If you manage to sink 5 DD's, CA's, CL's, BB's, SS and CV's. You could earn up to 15000 rewards credits per day.

This is especially useful when saving up for the next ship. When you only earn 1000 credits (or less) per match and can only do a certain number of matches per day.

Also if you are ahead on experience but low on credits, Research the upgrades (burning some exp), but don't Purchase those upgrades, thus using up credits which you are short on.

Research only the upgrades that are required to obtain the next ship that you want.

This will give you the appearance of equilibrium between your experience and credits.

Lastly, with the credit rewards try to focus on sinking ships in a smart way. By that I mean without taking lots of damage and getting sunk yourself. Always stay in the match until the end where possible.
