World of Warships Dev Tracker

The non-respawning nature of our game makes it focus on the attrition aspect of the game. Ships tend to take many hits to take down so it's about how well you take the hits and how well you deal them during the trading phase.

The game starting out with 12 players per side makes aggressive play very dangerous. No ship can survive being focused by 6+ enemies for very long.

Co-Op is a great place for people that prefer to go directly to the going in and blowing stuff up phase. It has a good gameplay loop for folks that want a 4-5 minute session of action.

At the moment, I'm aware of no amount of damage which means a player can simply AFK after reaching that point. 50,000 damage could be achieved in a few minutes of play, for instance, but could leave most of the game remaining unplayed.

The intention of the system is that players joining a battle should participate in that battle. The recent revision aims for someone participating in the sizable amount of the battle as opposed to just being present at the end of it.

The amount of time you are out of the match is recorded. Some above have mentioned they were disconnected mid-match but were able to re-enter and be rewarded as normal. In the case of a lengthy afk, the system may not be as forgiving.

Everyone understands that your internet may be out of your control, but your teammates are still down a player when the situation happens. Folks are reasonable when the AFK is short, but long AFKs are a problem even if your team ends up winning in the end.

On my Free-to-Play account, my easy credit grinder was a Tier 6 Coal DD I picked up called "Gallant". Tier 6 has a very low Service Cost, so she could kick out around 100-140k per Co-Op match if I had Premium from an event or PTS reward.

It's a balance characteristic. In general, ships that are well-known for being strong performers are... typically strong. As such, they may have weaker ASW then other ships as a form of balancing metric when examining the overall picture.

Ohio is another ship with a short ASW strike. Yes, she may not be as capable against submarines in terms of ASW range, but she's absolutely a capable ship in her other areas.

Random Battles has a pattern that it goes through because 12 players on each side is a lot.

Early Game - Trading:

Because there are some many ships, the first several minutes are focused on trying to deal damage to the enemy while taking as little as possible in return. Usually this means finding a safe position or staying well-angled to incoming fire and trying to be very accurate with your shots.

If your team wins the "trades" (damage for damage), you will start to sink enemies or drive them off... then your team can move up and claim the space being fought for.


If your team loses the "trades", you will start to be pushed back as you lose teammates and health. The enemy will use their superior health to force you into unfavorable positions.

Mid-Game - Claiming/Cedeing:

As stated above, in the Mid-Game you have to make decisions based on how the first few minutes went.

From a Training Room just now. Sub is at Periscope Depth (8.8m)

Replay Included.

Did the client show that you were "Detected" at the time? A Submarine at Periscope Depth has reduced Surface Detection (typically around 2km).

You may be mistaking being "in secondary range" as meaning "submarines are always shot within secondary range." The Submarine would need to be spotted in order for the guns to fire on it.

This is the same with a Destroyer in smoke that is not spotted, but is "within secondary range".

This was a beautiful juke while having an active ping:

Reviewing your video just shows that the shells bracketed the ship you shot at. They didn't fall short or do anything strange.

Shikishima only has 6 turrets. The lack of volume in your salvo can result in getting trolled by your guns at times.

The point he's trying to make is that it didn't matter whether the influencer was proven wrong or not, the goal is try to drive audience engagement. People either want to prove him wrong, or they want to see others prove him wrong, or they want to see others fail to prove him wrong. The meme shows how people will rise to a challenge even if it's just an influencer that's baiting.

Outrage does cause a release of chemicals which can create a loop:

People will return to the source of outrage for another hit of outrage.

Influencers that can sustain this pattern can capitalize most by keeping the timing of the outrage similar because people will look for it at the same time of day akin to being hungry at similar times of day.

The problem with outrage-engagement is that it literally lives off anger/rage. It's a very potent high, but raging constantly does alter your interactions over long stretches of time.

It is worth pointing out that many Ranked Seasons and Brawl Seasons do provide BB/CA/DD only matchups. Random Battles continues to be the primary mode.

I don't have the reason why our Sales Department did not include it this year. They can choose to include or exclude ships as they want.

When a ship is offered in a sales event, if there is no announcement of it being offered again at a later time than it should be assumed that the availability is limited to that current sales event.

With respect, you are engaging with me on a Satuday. We work Monday -> Friday, so these are off hours for me.

Are you saying that Dunkerque B has never been made available ever?

It doesn't seem to be in this year's offering.
