When you're looking back at World of Warships 10 years from now and wondering if it was really just a mass hallucination

"All these moments will be lost, like howls in the night."

Hah, maybe one day. When I uninstalled World of Warships I also left most of the WoWs-related discord servers I was on, one of them being the official WoWs server. Unfortunately, currently I have little desire to return there.

Nah, I’m on the discord. Imma post the invite link for those of us not on that server. https://discord.gg/azurlane

Per chance, how many people here are on the AL discord?

Well this forum is essentially the last link to the World of Warships community I’ve maintained since I uninstalled WoWs. But evidently WG will be cutting this last link. C’est la vie, I suppose.

Historically, it is entirely possible for a cruiser to do serious damage to a battleship. During the Guadalcanal campaign, for instance, shells from the New Orleans-class heavy cruiser USS San Francisco were able to cripple the steering of the Kongou-class battlecruiser Hiei. In World of Warships, the efficacy of a cruiser's guns against battleships generally speaking increases with the tiers. At tier 3/4, you basically have nothing to fear from cruiser guns (apart from fires) in a battleship. At tier 8-10, on the other hand, it is entirely possible for a cruiser to gun down a battleship. Some heavy cruisers are even able to outright citadel battleships, so showing broadside to them is basically a death sentence.

Took me about 60-70 builds; thankfully left just enough for me to do things like pay Kearsarge's 60k coins, do some limit-breaking, and buy a gear skin container Debating whether or not I should splurge on research projects or save in preparation for the JP anniversary event that's undoubtedly coming soon Also, were the hard mode maps a new addition? Because for some reason I don't remember them existing the first time we had this collab

Personally, I suspect the answer is that people who are complaining on the forums are not WG's target demographic. WG's target demographic in my estimate has the following traits: Drawn into WoWs by whatever powerful premium/tier 10/new gimmick ship line is advertised Does a few battles and decides to whale Gets disillusioned after a few months from a combination of not understanding battle mechanics or how things work at tier 5 and beyond Leaves after a few months The prioritization of quick profit over long-term sustainable growth and overall reputation is what drives many of these changes. So what if the older folks are leaving and newer folks are becoming disillusioned after a few months? They've already spent their money, and there will always be unwary newcomers willing to open their wallets to get the next shiny new object. Thus, until WG sees large sustained drops in their revenue streams, these negative trends will continue.

Adding on to what's already been said, keep track of the person's username. WoWs can be very picky about proper spelling of the name in question.

As it turns out, World of Warships isn't just for people who want to win and have a competitive experience. Quite a few people are here just to sail around, shoot famous ships with other famous ships, and have a good time. If you want an exclusively competitive setting, stick to clan battles. There's a reason why WG bans/limits carriers, submarines, etc there and not elsewhere. I must also point out that ranked is not a competitive mode. Anyone can reach rank 1 in the gold league; it's only a question of how many battles it takes. Side note: it's honestly rich to see someone being "competitive" when over half of their total battles are in carriers.

This SKK lost his life to, of all things, some [censored] that apparently thought the proper way to deal with a car accident was with a gun. May this SKK rest in peace and happily spend time with Kii for eternity. May his family get peace and justice for their son’s murder.

As it stands, in my fleet the Colorado sisters are currently getting a workout, not just because of my personal shipgirl preferences, but also because most of the other EU backline shipgirls are level 120 or higher and I hate wasting xp. They are truly underrated and I wish Maryland and West Virginia would get skins someday.

Well the pre-evaluations for the PR6 shipgirls are out, and they're all looking very good. Gear-wise, it seems only the 203mm gun is worth grinding. I have to say though, the revamp of the shops has me incredibly confused currently. Also, for some reason I find the picture of Schultz getting bonked hilarious.
