Short Version (long version is worth it tho): Game is bad. Scummy company doing scummy things. People riot to get their favorit game back on track.

I only have 27 min wasted so I can write a dislike. The game concept is nice! I love ships! I installed the game over Steam again so I can write this. You can even look at my profile and see ships I own. Because why the fk you cant log in with your Wargaming account on steam....
I played this game for a long time. I enjoyed playing ships like Yamato , Missouri and Friederich der Grosse. I even farmed for Shikishima (510mm Yamato). But one day they just crashed the WHOLE GAME into a wall. I think it started with the CV (Carrier Vessel , Aircraft Carrier) Rework. They changed it from a RTS to Arcade. They did this for 2 1/2 Reasons. 1. It was very complex and hard to master. Playing against someone that knows what hes doing will always result in a win with the better CV. Manual Drop and Autodrop where so different that this 2 mechanics would mean Winning or losing... Bad game design. Rewarding for the good player but bad for everyone else. In my eyes they just should have removed the Manual Drop. Just make it a point and click adventure and it would be okay but no... WG did point 2 and 2 1/2 ...: WoWS Legends was coming up and CVs were planned for this too. So they needed a new control for CVs. And they did the most arcade thing possible. One squadron of planes the player can control. Looks cool and all for the first few matches. But looses fun. CVs were busted asf (yes... I had fun with them. And got all CVs too. ) Then WG had the next GREAT idea.... Submarines. People (mostly bad players) complained that some Destroyers (tiny boats with LOTS of torpedos) are unfun because you cant see them and they would wreck you. But WG with the endless wisdom then created Submarines! Basicly "underwater Destroyers". You dont know you get stalked by one. You will get hunted by one of them with speeds only modern Subs can achieve. Like 30kts (very fast bois. Thats all you need to know). And they get cruise missile torpedos that are homing to the target. With some more "magic" these subs can see torpedos , mines and enemy ships (without the use of Hydrophones or something similar). But they can ram other submarines. AND ONLY IF THEY RAM THE SUB THEY KNOW ITS THERE. You can sail 3m next to a enemy submarine and dont know its there... But you see everything else?!?!?!?!??! Everyone except Submarine players dislike this things. Its so unfun and unbalanced... but WG wasted money in the devolopment and investors gave money. So the ♥♥♥♥♥ show must continue and the subs must roll so the "Submarine project" didnt fail. Thats why they cant nerf them. If they nerf them no one will play them because 1. the players is so insanly bad its crazy or 2. the player dont get credits and xp and cant continue playing. So there is no balancing way. Make the sub or CV worse and people stop playing and WG shows the Rework or new class failed and needs to pay back money. Oh and btw ... A old high up in WoWS said they wont add submarines because they dont fit the game. Here we are.... Oh! And now to the next great point! Powercreep! Every game has it. But if you use WW1 and WW2 stuff or cold war ships you are limited. For exampel: The biggest caliber on a ship was 460mm guns on the Yamato-Class. WG said Yamato will be the only one with guns this big. Later came her sister , Musashi. Still a Yamato-class... Fairpoint. But then they added the "Yashima" or later known as "Shikishima" (funny thing. They changed the name because Yashima sounded and looked close to Yoshino , a other ship. WG didnt want the snowflakes to get confused so they changed it. But why there is a St. Louis and a Saint Louis can no one tell.... ) with 510mm guns. Remember WG? They said no guns over 460mm.... Now we have 3 ships with +500mm guns... And here we are with the next point: Shikishima has 6x510mm guns. She was the highest Tier (Basicly Level). But WG had more investors. They came up with the "Superships"... Just think of Shikishima with 8x510mm and a magical spell. Shoot this many times close and your accuracy gets magicly better. Or other superships like "Conde"... Get 2 close fullbroadside salvos with more accuracy and dmg for the cost of higher reload. Now they added magical spells to a ♥♥♥♥ ship game... WHY?!?!?!?!? They rly want to make this game as bad as possible in the gameplay aspect. And then... WG is known for absolute ♥♥♥♥♥.
They wanted to make money so they brought back the Missouri. Missouri was best for credit earning. WG removed it later... No more credits because economy was bloated and some people had to much credits. For this they created the auction house where you can directly buy endgame ships like Conde. No playing thru an entire techtree. Buy it with credits. Or get enough real cash and buy the credits....
Or like every game they celebrate their birthdays. WoWS gave rly good rewards for WoWS Birthdays. Now they made it worse and worse. Saying it would ruin the ingame economy. So they needed to nerf it.... Poor indie game studio cant make money. Oh wait... 2021 they were the 9th best gaming company with 1.1 billion revenue. Poor indie company... right???
Poor little indie company sensors like ♥♥♥♥♥ too! They closed their forum because people shared their opinions there. Said what was broken , what they disliked. Or called out WGs bullsheit. Cant have this... So the forum will be closed. But feel free to join the discord! Say something they dont like and they remove the thing in their Discord! And I dont mean bad words etc. Gameplay related stuff like this and that is broken. Wanna call it out on Reddit WoWS Forum? Oh boy! 1984 was basicly a kiddy wonderland against WoWS Reddit Forum... Its so heavy censored some people cant ask questions. And I dont mean dumb questions. GOOD questions! Like "Can we play 1 ship and get the rewards for lower tier ships? Like how it was last year?". This question is automod banned there.
So people got fed up. But then there was light in the darkness. War Thunder Reviewbombing. (War Thunder did scummy things too. People disliked it and bombed it on Steam). So the remaining players bombed this site to call out WGs bullsheit. To counter the "good reviews" of the bots in November of last year. Where the spike went from 13k avrg players to 400k.
There are so many ♥♥♥♥ up storys with this game I dont even have the strength to write this.
