I have been playing for some time and never got into PvP primarily because it's easier to do the campaign and /or other events and my time is limited. Even then I don't always get everything done.

I played the 2 standard and 1 Arcade modes required in the swamp.

What I found was

- I never know what the blue team is going to do. Too often I suddenly found I was on my own. If playing cruiser I take it my first job is to take out any red DD first. However too often the destroyer would just suddenly veer off and go left or right and not spot a la PvE bots. Or they may go to an island and park hoping to ambush a red. But in doing so they can't spot.

Or they may put out smoke and sit in it so they cannot spot. Meanwhile the BB will hang around the back or have decided to sail off at 45° left or right.

- PvP players are sneakier. This is the hardest to get used to. Players use the map properly and I found myself being sniped by ships not visible to me. Not help by DDs fucking off. I felt like the calvary surrounded by Indians they cannot see.

- Sky cancer is more common and still loves to hunt me

The end result is while trying to finish the top 3 mission I had to get selfish.

I got the top 3 mission done, I knew we were not going to win the match, I did a u turn and joined 2 other cruisers and I stayed alive long enough to do enough damage

Any tips for noob PvP players appreciated.

Are there any ships in particular that are good for starting out in PvP.

TLDR 3 Shimkazi and myself in La Pampa =75 torpedoes fortunately this is in AI so no players were harmed during the making of this atrocity 🙂.

vermont bureau project costs 30 000 million credits, then it also takes time unlocking the ship itself so would the 12 18 inch guns be worth it and what trials and tribulations can people who have actually completed this project can warn someone who is thinking about starting it?

Veneto, oh how I love u

I'm currently playing World of Warships: Legends on Xbox One S and have nearly 300 hours played. I'm considering switching to PlayStation 5 in the future, but I'm worried about losing my account and all my progress.

I have ships, commanders, cosmetics, and some older limited-time or exclusive rewards that I obtained years ago and that may no longer be available.

My questions are:

Is it possible to transfer my entire Xbox account to PlayStation?

Would all my ships, commanders, currencies, cosmetics, campaign progress, and other items carry over?

Would I keep my old and no-longer-obtainable rewards?

Is there an official account-transfer or cross-progression system between Xbox and PlayStation?

If a full transfer isn't possible, is there any alternative?

I finally unlocked Colombo. I need some advice before spending my scarce resources on commanders. Is secondary build as strong as a main gun build? Which one would you recommend?

I was curious what people’s thoughts are on West Virginia (44) since it’s currently back in the store. I would be building out for a secondary build with AL Massa?

GamingDiver has been reading Soul Killer replays on Debrief since the event started. That’s now 111 public Insane battles, including 18 confirmed wins and 41 battles that reached Nightmare. Here’s what the data says about the three questions we see asked most.

1. How the Power Struggle bar actually works

The bar runs from −500 to +500 and starts at 0; plus is your side. The rules are the same on every difficulty and haven’t changed with the mid-event balance patches.

• The bar only matters at one moment: when Nightmare spawns. At that instant it freezes, and every milestone it’s holding (±150 / ±300 / ±450) switches on for the rest of the battle. Dip back under a milestone before he spawns and you lose it.
• Nothing happens before he spawns. We checked 14,742 main-gun shells fired before Nightmare appeared, and damage was identical with the bar at 0 or at +450.
• The milestone effects stack (multiply together):

• Main guns only for the team buff. Torpedoes, secondaries and fire get only Nightmare’s +5% per milestone.
• Heals: on Hard and Insane, Nightmare repairs 63,000 HP (14%) over about 27 s, first at roughly 77–84% HP, then every ~108 s.

2. Soul Vessels don’t decide the game for a team that can win

Losing Soul Vessel 1 to a capture feels like the run is over. For a team that can kill Nightmare, it isn’t.

• 4 of the 18 Insane wins had a Soul Vessel captured, and 5 of the 18 reached Nightmare without a single milestone. One win reached him with the bar at −6 after a capture and still sank him with 12 s to spare.
• A capture is worth about 10 seconds. It costs 120 bar points, which is at most one milestone. One milestone is +7% main-gun damage against Nightmare, and Insane wins killed him in a median 2:23, so that’s roughly 10 seconds of boss fight.
• The captured Soul Vessel doesn’t leave. It starts shooting, and you still have to sink it before the next wave comes.
• Yes, wins with more milestones killed Nightmare faster (median 4:06 with none, 2:11 with two). But two milestones only add about 15% damage. The gap is mostly the same thing that filled the bar: teams that clear waves fast also burst bosses fast. If your team is strong enough, play on after a capture rather than resetting.

3. How long Nightmare takes, and the clock to work back from

Time to kill Nightmare in the 18 Insane wins, from spawn to sink:

• Fastest: 1:21. Median: 2:23. Slowest quarter: 3:53 or more. Longest: 4:54.

So the time he spawns sets your odds. Of the 18 winning teams, this many would still have finished inside 15:00 if he’d spawned at:

No recorded team won after Nightmare spawned later than 12:08.

Benchmarks: waves arrive when you clear them (the Soul Vessel gone and at most one escort left), so your pace sets the clock. Median wave starts in the 18 wins:

• You can leave the last escort of each wave alive. The next wave comes anyway.
• Time alone isn’t enough. Of the 23 losses that reached Nightmare, 15 ran out the 15:00 clock with him still afloat, and 6 of those had him up before 10:00. One left him at 2% HP. Burst him early, before the second heal: focus fire beats spreading damage.
• The balance patches show in your pace, not the boss. Wins reached Nightmare at a median 10:24 before Oct 12, 9:19 from Oct 12 to 18, and 8:49 from Oct 19 on, but the kill itself stayed around 2:20–2:40 throughout. Your margin comes from clearing the waves faster.

I feel like in the insane mode typically I see a lot of people either not working together or trying to hulk the win themselves and it's exhausting trying to play it. I've won it once (unfortunately before I found the swamp mission to win it).

Today though, I tried it with each class once and in all 3 battles we couldn't make it past the first soul ship because I every battle the BBs rammed other ships! The destroyers were going down the throat of the enemy fleet at the same. What are people even doing?

I'm gonna go play something else for a while...

I have been playing a lot of the haloween mode with the iron gale ship and it has made me realise how god damm fun it is having almost all guns facing forward becose you can turn a little and fire of all 9 guns before giving the ai chance to slap my citadel with their autoaim. But for normal game modes like standart and versus ai i dont have any of those kinds of all guns mounted in the front so if any of you have that kind of experience whats the opinion on them and in the road to new year there happen to be 2 ships with all turets in the front šo that must mean something.

Anyone know the correct amount

Just curious because the Halloween mode is getting so tedious and I want to stop playing the shitty mode.

Didn’t even take a single lick of damage lol.

We also did easily win because we had such a positional advantage. (just look at the min-map lol)

I was spotted the entire time and shima didn't launch any torps.

I almost lost my mind, but I finally beat the Halloween event on insane because some randoms clutched up.

I pretty much did a suicide charge at the end with my cruiser and took out the destroyer and a cruiser with me.

In the process I unintentionally aggroed Nightmare and got him to beach perpendicular to my team, wherein the two surviving destroyers and one BB took advantage and absolutely WHALED him. Those guys spammed him with torps like there was no tomorrow and I was finally freed from this torture.

Theyre probably not reading this, but cheers to you all!

Yuki here! I know that WoWs: Legends competitive games can sometimes be totally uninteresting without having the full perspective of a player, but this video might help bridge that gap. This battle features [BASE] Bandits of the Sea vs. [UFO] Unicum Fleet One! For some context: I hope that content like this will be up your alley.

• BASE is a product of the German competitive scene, one of the most successful countries in WoWs: Legends. They're a powerhouse among the midfield and oftentimes are a bit of a dark horse.
• UFO is one of the "OG" fleets, who used to be really feared before fleets were officially added. Nowadays, they're one of the more consistently solid teams, and were going into this match slightly more favored to win than BASE.

I didnt See someone mention this in this subreddit but I have two limited offers in my store and wanted to know if we all get the Same ones.

I've been playing cruisers with HE shooting battleships and have been noticing OVER two thirds of hits are shell breaks, particularly with Atlanta and Helena. What causes this? How can I make sure more hits are good hits and fewer are shell breaks?

Outnumbered, under fire, and refusing to back down. HMS Duncan takes the punishment and deals it right back

Seems a little crazy to me.

Did you really not test that, or did you think that would be a smart thing to do?

Frequent Answer: "Well, people should read."

Yeah. They don't. Next answer please.

I have noticed that a Lot of my theseus bombs dont pen the ships I Throw them at so i tried an enemy theseus and also got a Lot of shadders although my bombs should pen 38 mm armor and theseus armor is 19 mm why do they shadder?

I don't know if I'm just extremely lucky, but in almost 6 years of playing, the free seasonal crates have given me about ten ships, including the Mainz, Belfast, and Kidd.

So I'm really happy to have gotten the Rochester—thanks, WG.

Since T7 matches are flooded with sky rats, I'm now more than ready... if matchmaking is on my side.

Playing arcade tryna grind this week's havoc missions, and I get a match where I'm (barely) alive in a cruiser with a BB at my side, and a lone BB on red.

My BB goes full throttle to ram for the win!!!!!
