Wargaming ruined the World of tanks so came to World of warships. which is lot better in my POV. Shots connect, But Team tactics plays a major role in WOW.

This is the worst game I’ve ever played.
After 400+ hours, every single premium ship I own—Shimakaze, iwami, Shoukaku, even the brand-new Aberdeen—loses money, every single battle.

I lose credits whether I win or lose.
I lose credits even when I top damage and carry the team.
Even with a guild economic bonus, I still walk away minus 7,000 credits.

The only consistent outcome of playing this game is disgust and rage. It feels designed not to be enjoyed—but to drain your wallet while making you feel worthless.

Play like a normal player? You get one-shot by predicted torpedoes before leaving spawn. Or you’re magically pushed out of cover and evaporated in seconds by “core hits” that defy armor mechanics. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are unchecked cheats—the matchmaking feels that broken.

In Co-op, teammates steal all your kills.
In Randoms, you face overpowered opponents with perfect aim and radar spam.
Even in PvE, enemy AI dodges Shimakaze’s torpedoes better than human players—ships instantly stop or turn on a dime like they’re controlled by gods.

I’m done. This beast of a game deserves to shut down.
Don’t waste your time. Don’t waste your money. Just leave.

As a casual player who’s been around since Year 2, I’ve seen this game change—and not for the better.

New players, you have my sympathies.
At this point, the game feels actively stacked against you. Unless you’re willing to drop hundreds of dollars just to stay competitive, you’re in for a rough ride. And even if you do pay up, the learning curve doesn’t exactly get any kinder.

Matchmaking? Don’t count on it.
You’re often thrown into battles where the odds feel predetermined. The so-called “balance” seems to rely on arbitrary numbers rather than meaningful adjustments. Overpowered ships rarely get nerfed, and the system increasingly feels driven by pay-to-win mechanics rather than fair competition.

Let’s talk about the boats.
New ships—often priced anywhere from $60 to $200—consistently outperform older ones, even those you’ve spent countless hours grinding for. That sense of progression? It doesn’t really pay off. You can dedicate time and effort to unlocking tech tree ships, only to find yourself outclassed anyway.

Older premium boats do come back from time to time, but usually with newer, stronger versions attached—clearly designed to push you into spending more rather than improving what players already paid for.

And lately, every new vessel seems overloaded with features. Submarines, battleships—you name it—they can now launch and control aircraft, striking with torpedoes, bombs, or rockets. On top of that, these same ships are getting better stealth and survivability, making life even harder for anyone not paying to keep up. There’s no going back to a simpler, more balanced version of the game.

The community has shifted too.
What used to feel like a team-based experience is now increasingly about stats. Some players check your performance before the match even begins—sometimes using mods—and judge you accordingly. Even without an official team deathmatch mode, the player base is drifting in that direction, prioritizing personal stats over teamwork or just having fun.

In the end…
The game is starting to feel like just another cash-hungry mobile title. If you’re looking for a genuinely fun, balanced experience, this probably isn’t it anymore.
