* At Tier 8 the "899 Division" can obliterate enemy CV's. It requires a Tier 8 Carrier with fast planes like the Graf Zeppelin in a division with 2 Musashi battleships. The CV flies to the enemy carrier to spot them, and the two Musashi ships uses their long range guns + spotter plane to shoot and kill the enemy carrier, which can't shoot down the enemy planes quickly enough to stop it getting stomped. This tactic has a limitation however, in that it doesn't work at Tier 6 because ships that match with a Tier 6 Carrier don't have the long range, and it doesn't work at Tier 10 because the Tier 10 carriers have armoured decks that prevent them getting massively penetrated.

* ''Musashi'' is a copy of the ''Yamato'', that's available at Tier 9, with minor nerfs. But it keeps the same long range 460mm guns, heavy armor protection, and massive HP pool as the Yamato. If not put into a match with Tier 10 ships Mushashi is vastly overpowered particularly against the lower tiered ships.

* Warships has many premium ships that are blatantly superior to the tech tree ships. The game developer, Wargaming, has a policy of not nerfing premium ships after they are released, to avoid causing fights with players who have spent money on those ships. Instead they are removed from sale, the ultimate confirmation that a ship was too powerful to allow to keep being acquired.

* The Tier 9 American battleship ''Georgia'', like the ''Missouri'', is essentially a superior variant of ''Iowa''. Instead of radar, ''Georgia'' gets eight 457mm guns, long range fast reloading secondaries, an improved repair party consumable, and a speed boost which is normally the reserve of the French ships, that can have it's active time extended with a coal bought premium modification. This gives Georgia a massive amount of utility, as the 457mm guns allow her to overmatch the armor of almost every cruiser in the game, her improved secondary armament is more efficient than those of the German battleships against everything except other battleships, and her speed boost allows her to quickly re-position anywhere on the map, or charge down a weak flank, as it reaches high speeds that match ''Destroyers''. As a Tier 9 Premium Battleship, it also has a very high potential for making credits.

* ''Stalingrad'' is a Tier 10 premium Russian cruiser that is a ''Moskva'' with battleship caliber guns that have improved AP penetration angles on her shells, a faster fuse arming time and extremely high accuracy. The combination of high AP penetration and improved penetration angles means she can deal massive damage to heavily angled ships. Her radar and faster fuse time allows her to easily deal with destroyers. Her ''Mosvka'' level armor lets her repel most types of damage, including the 460mm shells from ''Yamato''. The cherry on top is like the ''Black'' and ''Flint'', ''Stalingrad'' is only available to the top performing players who reach the highest Clan Battle ranks.

* Battlecruiers are a group of ships that at the higher tiers are outside the normal tech tree and are given as reward ships for spending coal, steel, ranked tokens or purchased premium ships. They aren't given their own class and exist in the matchmaking with normal Cruisers. Although they do have trade-offs compared to regular Light & Heavy Cruisers, such as having longer reloads on their larger guns, they still have much higher healthpools and their guns are all rounders capable of punching holes in Battleships or Heavy Cruisers, and still having strong HE firepower for use against Light Cruisers & Destroyers. If a cruiser place in the matchmaking is taken on one team by a Battlecruiser like an Alaska or Stalingrad, and on the opposite by one of the weaker cruisers, it can drastically unbalance the game.
