In another drastic change for the game, some players are saying World of Warships is being dumbed down to cater to the soon-to-be-introduced World of Warships Legends for Xbox and Playstation 4 (due next year). Wargaming officials denied that changes to the PC version have been made to cater to console gamers. World of Warships Legends will bring the naval combat game to console next year as well. As with the submarines, the company expects to implement aircraft carrier changes fully in 2019. Enterprise or the Imperial Japanese Navy carrier Kaga. Wargaming is sensitive to the feelings of players who’ve invested time and money in aircraft carriers, so it’s preparing to offer refunds to those who have purchased premium ships, such as the famous U.S.S. Even worse, radar, which effectively pruned back destroyers, won’t spot submerged submarines. If you’re a slow-moving battleship, having three torpedoes slam into your side can ruin your day. Subs can dive and surface, and fire torpedoes from stealth. Submarines will likely shake it up all over again by adding a third dimension underwater.

Of course, months later, to help prune back an overpopulation of destroyers sniping battleships, World of Warships added more cruisers with radar. Finally, to get rid of the elephant, a mouse is brought in.įor example, earlier this year, after complaints that too many battleships populated games and hid in back, Wargaming added a new destroyer with long-range stealth torpedoes that could only hit battleships. To get rid of the lion, an elephant is brought in. To get rid of the cat, a dog is brought in, and to get rid of the dog, a lion is brought in. The addition of subs, however, complicates a game that has long faced the circular problem of “balance.” This is best illustrated with the children’s story of a homeowner who tried to solve a mouse problem by getting a cat. Submarines can’t stay underwater forever, and will have to surface as they run out of oxygen. The company said so far, more than 28 million people worldwide have registered to play the game on PC. To broaden interest, Wargaming has also added player-versus-environment and clan battles. In each match, up to 12 ships battle on an ocean map with naval gunfire, bombs, and torpedoes. Some basic principles of World of Warships won’t change. It’s a cat-and-mouse, and dog-and-lion game
