Overview

Thunder Fleet Overview

Set against the naval theaters of World War II, Thunder Fleet was a mobile-focused warship combat simulator where you piloted historically inspired vessels and fought for control of the sea. The game featured a lineup of more than eighty ships spread across four distinct classes, each modeled after real-world counterparts, giving players plenty of options when building a fleet for different matchups.

Battles leaned into quick, readable action while still borrowing ideas from more tactical naval games. Combat combined third-person ship handling with support options such as airstrike-style abilities, encouraging you to balance positioning, target selection, and timing rather than simply trading broadside fire. Between matches, you could grow a captain through leveling and skill allocation, choosing bonuses that emphasized durability, damage output, or utility to better fit your preferred playstyle.

For competitive players, the main draw was the fast 6v6 PvP mode, designed for short sessions and team-based tactics, with leaderboards to chase. If you preferred something more structured, the game also included six single-player maps framed around notable WWII engagements. Progression was supported by weapon loadouts, science and technology research paths, and cosmetic ship skins that let you personalize your fleet without changing the core identity of the historical designs.
