Single Ship Battle Ranking

To measure individual ship usage, we’ve introduced Naval Power value ratings for each ship.

Individual Naval Power is determined by the ratio of individual competition experience to the average experience of all players in the most recent 250 competitions of the same type.

Overall Naval Power is based on Individual Naval Power plus the ship’s level coefficient. Overall Naval Power will increase as a ship’s level increases.
