Battle rules and every number

No hidden multipliers: these are the very numbers the server judges by. The page is generated from the same data the game ships with, so it cannot fall behind a balance change.

The fleet

The budget is 14 points and at least 3 ships. A pricier class means fewer hulls on the water — that is the trade-off.

Ammunition and resupply

A living ship gets one shell back every 4 turns, and from turn 18 every 2, so a long battle still ends. A magazine never fills past its starting size.

Torpedoes, airstrikes, drones and mines never come back: that is the point of the classes carrying them. Sustained fire is the plain gun's job.

Time and forfeits

• 45 seconds per turn. Miss it and the turn passes to your opponent.
• Miss 4 turns in a row and the battle goes to your opponent. It guards against someone who walked away and keeps the other player waiting forever.
• 120 seconds to place the fleet.
• If the connection drops you have 180 seconds to come back. Otherwise it is a loss.
• Leaving a battle counts as a loss, exactly like resigning.

Damage

Armour is how much a single section absorbs. Damage beyond that spills into the neighbouring section, so a heavy shell on a small hull is never wasted. A ship sinks when every section is gone.

Rating

You start at 1000. Only online battles against live players count — a win over a bot moves nothing. You enter the leaderboard after 3 battles, so one lucky win cannot put you on top.
