world of warships

World Of Warships, abbreviated WOWS, is a free competitive online multiplayer game featuring warships from the first half of the 20th century. Players can battle each other in standard battles (12v12), team battles or, occasionally, ranked battles (8v8). Playing against bots is also possible.

There exist four typs of ships: Battleships, cruisers, destroyers and carrier vessels. The former three types balance each other by a "rock, paper, scissors"-mechanism, while CVs are rarely played lately.
Players have access to tech trees of several nations, including the US, Japan, Germany, Russia, the UK and a few others, with tech trees still expanding, as more and more branches are released for a certain nation every now and then. A tech tree consists of 7-10 tiers per ship type, every tier being a (in most cases) historical ship class (e.g. the Iowa-class battleships being the tier 9 US battleship). A few premium ships are only available by purchase, but most are not worth the money; you can also pay to play to get a few advantages here and there.

A:"OK guys, lets win this one"
B: *blames match-making for being low tier*
C: *gets the fuck sunk by first CV airstrike*
D: *detonates on first enemy salvo*
A: *sails into farthest corner while fruitlessly trying to snipe enemy ships and spilling salt in chat*

I love World Of Warships.

A boat game created by Wargaming that was initially promising, but because it was made by Wargaming, it ended up to be a cash-grab fuel of toxicity. Impossible to balance classes of ships, terrible game mechanics, a UI from the 90s, if it wasn't Wargaming, than it was probably the same people that made Mass Effect: Andromeda.
Friend 1: Hey man, I was going to play some World of Warships, want to div?

Friend 2: WoWs really? The game is so toxic, why would I play a game with bad developers, a community manager who was an asshat from PlanetSide 2 (RadarX), and 99% of players who think the game is CoD?

Friend 1: Oh wow ok, guess I should uninstall. Want to play some Hoi4?

A promising boat game made by Wargaming, until you realize that it was made by Wargaming.
Why would I play World of Warships? 99% of the players are bad, they have a community manager who was terrible from PlanetSide 2, and they have such crappy developers!

World of Warshits

When your team on world of warships is so dog-water that you have to rage-quit
Player 1: *plays a captain, does an extremely shit job at it, and costs the team to lose
Player 2: Fuck World of Warships, World of Warships, more like World of Warshits

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"
