    You want a game where you are often the top-scorer of your team? Then this game is for you: the bad - you will still always lose. The matchmaking-system seems to have some regulation in it - the better you play the more brain-afk your team becomes. the worse is you depend on your so called team.

    Is a rating of 2 point fair? The game has solid/average graphics, it's free (you think), and the concept of the game is indeed interesting. When you start the game at first you will think it's more worth than 2 point.

    But the problems will raise when you advance. The spoken matchmaking with bad players will lead you in MASSIVE frustration.

    Ask yourself: do you want to play a game a server forced you to have no fun? It's a typical rip-off. better don't try it. It only may work with a clan or something.    … Expand

    In the last few years, World of Warships has become inundated with increasingly aggressive monetization tactics and gambling mechanics. Nearly everything that gets added to the game now involves some attempt to incentivize spending more and more money on in-game items.

Nearly everything that gets added to the game now involves some attempt to incentivize spending more and more money on in-game items. And there are more and more loot boxes being "offered" every day.

    Furthermore, the game balancing has gotten worse and worse, with new purchasable ships being given advantages over older ships, both purchasable and free to play. Entire ship lines are being added primarily to drive yet more sales, while other lines are artificially propped up to keep the number of players using them at an acceptable level. Everything now revolves around maintaining gameplay stats where the parent company wants them and constantly increasing revenue.

    My advice is to avoid this game completely. Whatever fun can still be had here, it's not worth dealing with the ongoing efforts to wring every last penny out of the player base. Spend your time and money elsewhere.    … Expand

    - the balance is balans - everything Russian is made of stalinium which is the strongest metal on Earth (even stronger than adamantium and vibranium combined) - and this means both hulls and shells - basically everything russian is incredibly well made even though most of their hulls would not even stay afloat the way they're presented in game. Historical realism is something the company takes pride in but there are so many "paper ships" nowadays it doesn't really matter at all (ships that never existed outside of drawn plans);
    - the marketing and aggressiveness of monetization has become absolutely insane over the past few years, it's like Wargaming is trying to burn their game down and in the process collect as much money as possible in the process whilst alienating the community at the same time; loot boxes everywhere, unreasonably priced and with wording that makes you believe something that is not real (drop chance of a certain wanted item) - also with hidden mechanics.

    This game is also rated pegi-7 but is literally a slot machine simulator with boats. As good as those boats look and sound, I'ma head out now.    … Expand

The game play can be intense and fun if you are into slow paced arcade games. Don't be fooled by its title, this game is a naval combat themed arcade shooter. It just puts you into a naval theme to shoot at things nothing more and nothing less. It doesn't simulated naval combat in any fashion, most of the stats and the way things work are fantasy to make the game interesting and work properly and this is nothing bad per se.
    Now the bad:
    The power gap between the classes and levels are huge, this especially true because you can face up to 2 levels (tiers) above you own. The power creep is also a big factor in this game, balancing is inconsistent and seems to focus on maximizing the profit for the developer. This leads to overpowered ships left in the game for months, sometimes for years. Certain classes have a huge griefing factor because there is no counter and the interaction between the classes are one sided (air craft carriers vs other classes). Skill can mitigate that to certain point.

    Interesting and powerful content is more often behind a pay wall, so that adds a certain pay-to-win feeling to the game. But you can still play without spending a dime and all tech tree ships are available without spending real cash.
    Overall I think this game is ok for killing some time but in my opinion on a downward spiral.    … Expand

    I know, this is Wargaming we're talking about... even then, there's even MORE RNG in this game than in World of Tanks (which sucks, too)

    * Full of retards who can't understand the basics, simply because it's F2P (like WoT)

    * Frustrating mechanics - destroyers / cruisers firing while stealthed (invisifiring), **** class mechanics (carriers that can bully slow / not agile ships with poor AA, destroyer torpedo spam)

    * Some P2W elements; you can buy premium ships that are outright better than others (Gremyaschy >> Gnevny, Murmansk >> Omaha, and others I'm not aware of surely) and are NOT affected by global nerfs - e.g. all soviet mid-high tier destroyers damage / chance of fire / visibility when firing were nerfed, except the Gremyaschy of course. Also, you can buy flags for money - they give some neat benefits, although not gamebreaking.

    In short: too much RNG, too little consistency, I never feel like I'm in control of the game - more like the other way around ... like a slot machine.    … Expand

    This game is precisely average. I have a list of specific complaints which can be detailed here;

    Firstly is the ship balance, you enter new tiers and your new ship - unless you use FreeXP to get basic hull upgrades first becomes a liability instantly and causes you to lose against more powerful opponents. Secondly the free vs paid ships; in almost all ways the paid ships are better,    This game is precisely average. I have a list of specific complaints which can be detailed here;

    Firstly is the ship balance, you enter new tiers and your new ship - unless you use FreeXP to get basic hull upgrades first becomes a liability instantly and causes you to lose against more powerful opponents.

    Secondly the free vs paid ships; in almost all ways the paid ships are better, instead of simply paying for a different kind of ship you can pay for a ship which is stronger, faster, does more damage and has abilities that don't belong to its class. In addition to this is other certain aspects surrounding the paid unlocks such as faster progression generally, more money etc etc. Yes I have played F2P before but this is obscene because P2W ships will always get a game even if they're blatantly not tier appropriate.

    Thirdly is the aircraft carriers - IJN and USA CV will get discussed to death here and elsewhere but it's really evident that the developers are playing musical chairs with who gets to be OP in order to maximise your time spent grinding. IJN CV are hands down better than USA because even in their fighter heavy configuration they still get 3 bomber units on top of their 3 fighter units vs the 2/0/1 or 2/0/2 of most USA CV. You are demonstrably non-competitive in USA CV up until the later tiers.

    The tier 6 USA CV is literally the ship which made me decide not to pay for this game. Feel free to quote me on that, the indepedence is the vessel that made me decide not to give you the money I felt you deserved up to that point. The soul crushing grind and underpowered t6/t7 I have experienced since isn't encouraging me to spend the money, it's just making me resent my time spent even more.

    Fourth and finally is the sheer arrogance of the development and moderator teams. Letting cheating go on blatantly, allowing super testers to threaten other people with doxxing and cyber attacks as well as cynically doubling down on players by not making certain P2W features clear at the outset and then charging the newbie a stipend for their refusal to explain fully what's happening is just another reason to not give this game your money.

    With that being said I'm now dropping my score from a 5 to a 4. The game has its good moments it can't be denied but in the face of so much smug and psychological browbeating I cannot in good faith even give this game a score of 5.

    Long story short:
    Base game deserves attention, because of systems it have right from beginning.
    Continuous development doesn't succeeded at breaking this systems completely, yet, while trying harder and harder. Yet, no one cares besides beta veterans who somehow managed to not bail in past 4 years.

Every time I play this game, every time I press the battle button, I am instantaneously and totally disappointed. That disappointment stems both from small things -- the fact that trees don't render properly outside the binocular mode, the UI bugs associated with the zooming, the numerous bugs on new test ships -- to large, gamebreaking balance features like aircraft carriers or submarines, to the deplorable and disgusting company culture inherent in Wargaming Saint Petersburg. The amount of disrespect and borderline malice shown to the playerbase is simply ridiculous -- this company treats us like the staff treats their rat infestation at the local Papa Johns; first baiting us, then exterminating us entirely.
    More pressing is the languid bureaucracy of the company execution. The system for suggesting and implementing changes in this game is simply kafkaeqsue -- its designed in a purposely convoluted way to specifically disencentivise it. Anyone who comes near Wargaming is instantly tainted by their disgusting practices and policies. I would rather dig graves for a living and earn minimum wage than be a Wargaming executive and earn six figures a year. Probably the worst commercial game developing company in the industry -- and yes, I've heard of EA.

    Apart from the pay 2 win element which already makes it a 0. The game is a torpedo dodging simulator, they do the most damage in the game. Annoying to play against both from carriers (planes) and from destroyers. Don't know what is more dirty; sit back from a carrier and take out everything from a distance or play a destroyer and play fast and cheeky with hiding and camping.

Certain ships have little to insignificant role in the battle, compounded with the easily manipulated matchmaker through divisions meant player individual skills have insignificant effects on win rate (of which determines rewards for the match). Thus, the game places players of which has no desire to either 1. organise a professional division or 2. use certain overly competent ships; in a noticeable disadvantage and will very likely cause frustration for casual players.

    The game, however, can be very enjoyable in rare circumstances such as both teams being equally competent, leading to breathtaking victories or losses. With a considerably low skill ceiling, most casual players can learn most of the game mechanics with ease. Those who played and enjoyed either Battlestations series or Navy Field 1 would find themselves fairly familiar with the game and worth the try. However, I cannot recommend the game to everyone as the current matchmaker state outweighs most the positives of the game.

Mid to late game it becomes very "grindy" if you don't have Premium or Premium ships and spend real money to convert XP. Some games you might not even get anywhere in progression, this goes for all three WOT, WOWS WOWP. Sad really.
    The whole business model for Wargaming games is to get you hooked for the first 2 to 5 hours of gameplay which you can progress quite quickly if your a decent player but anything beyond that (Tier V to X) you could be spending that same amount on 1 tier. You are also "forced" to purchase to progress, if you want tier a V battleship you must use tier IV battleship, purchase all upgrades for it then the tier V battleship, unlike War Thunder where if you want to skip tier IV tank all you have to do is research it and move on and continue using your tier III if desired. No unnecessary purchases to set you back some.

    It is a F2P game, but i think it more as a Pay2Progress with some Pay2Win mechanics, just saw i thread on Reddid how one got his first T10 ship after 4(!) years of constantly playing the game. A huge part is locked behind a paywall and gambling (lootboxes) and some advantages are payed by real money. Skins and Flags (not the economic) give you extra stats and player power.
    The estetics are awsome, great looking grafic, high amount of details and good sound.
    You have 5 classes: Desdroyers (DD), Cruisers (CL/CA), Battleships (BB), submarines(SS) and aircraft carryer (CV).
    Now to the frust factors:
    1. No respawn + high TTK: Frustrating when you are getting oneshottet.
    2. Community is really toxic: especially if you are playing playing as SS or CV, even tho they are not they most anoying thing in the game.
    3. The grind: this game is brutaliy grindheavy, especially if you are a F2P player, then you will spend months grinding
    4. Pricepolicy: their pricing policy is bold and one of my biggest points. I never saw a game with such absurd high costs.
    Monthly 8,20€ to get double XP and credits and you still grind your a** off. Ships can cost between 40€ - 70€ and if you want an even ship now, it will go up to 250€. Flaggs and skins cost (with some eceptions) real money and are gone after one match...or one one-shot.
    5. Matchmaking: this can between 2 Tiers. Means you can face Ships that are 2 Tiers above yours and thats a huge difference and really frustrating.
    6. Meta: Right now, from my experience, the meta looks like only two classes are in only one way playable: Sniper-BBs and ambush-DDs.
    Cruisers are just XP Pinatas, destroyers ambushes with a one-shot torp salvo while beeing stealth in front of you. BBs are just slow, chonky snipers in the background and flaming the CV for only existing. SS stay underwater somhere and get flamed for beeing in game and get oneshottet after beeing spottet.

The game before 2020 was good and then they made the CV Rework which broke the game for CV to be so OP that if you had anyone that could barely play them now could do a massive amount of damage without learning how to play them. I played this game from the beginning and just seen it go from good to great to good to now just right boring, not fun to play, and ships that are overpowered towards other ships. It is just so wrong to see. Ships that were designed for AA defense cannot do anything against them. Ships that were designed to destroy Submarine cannot get close to them to destroy them either.
    Lastly, the microtransaction or what I say macrotransaction are just so high that normal people cannot afford it, and when they do afford it. it is too late for them to get what they want and just so f this poop, I am out.
    The great part of the game and has been since the start is the Art in the game. Everything else is so boring now and no new content except new ships in every update for people to buy that are just copy-paste ships from every other ship in the game.    … Expand

    Recommend spending your time and money elsewhere. They don't care about any player base outside of Russia. Their match making system is broken and will match Tier 7 ships against Tier 10s. They will also pit the same T7 against the T10. It's not worth the anger, frustration even to download their games.

They make positioning (80% of the game) meaningless because they can see/hit you anyway. They have equal to or better armor than even tiered BB's. They're not even slow, heavy cruisers lose in a footrace. 15 minutes into a game they can still field full squadrons of aircraft even though by then whoever is left is going to have reduced AA due to attrition. Not that AA is a counter to aircraft anyway. regardless of your AA rating, they will get at least 2 attack runs at you per squadron. Other ships might be able to spot, or create a crossfire, or deal massive damage, or have awesome armor, but in order to take advantage of these capabilities the ship must put itself in harms way, risking or spending HP. CV's can do all this without risking HP or positioning.
    CV's function in the game like a tax. if there's one in the game, you're going to lose health to them.
    This is AFTER the big CV rework. a joke.

    The most recent patch as of this review was the commander skill update, 10.0.0 including a buff to BB dispersion of 10% (which is massive) as long as no ships are within your normal spotting distance. ensuring that BB's are played at max range. this combined with the state of CV's and HE spammers means BB's don't brawl anymore. leaving cruisers and DD's on the front line. so they stick to their islands and hide. makes for amazing gameplay (sarcasm). Unless of course there's a carrier in the game, then the island is worthless anyway and the whole thing devolves into a camp-fest and wait for the last 5 minutes to play.

    And now WG is going to release Subs into this mess... virtually guaranteeing BB's won't come near a cap.
    The current meta of the game: Whichever team pushes first, loses.

    And WG could fix this. it didn't used to be this way. There used to be a viable place for brawling BB's, for sniping BB's, for concealment centric cruisers and island hoppers. Playing used to be dynamic. In its current state its stale, stagnant, frustrating.

    But with the submarines you would have to change everything. They're too fast, the ping has far too much range, homing torps..... who doesn't know them. I heard that sonar was supposed to help against submarines. But not in WoWs, nothing should help against submarines.

    Actually, the game should work like rock paper scissors.
    Destroyers counter battleships, cruisers counter destroyers, battleships counter destroyers. Planes can be avoided and skilled on flag.

    But submarines have no counter. Yes you can kill them, but the effort is way too big.
