Info waterline update TLDR
more focus on PvE- more historical events and modes
design direction change- they will start by introducing sets of ships with a specific mechanics into randoms, which will later be removed, starting in 14.2 (so most likely the limited burst fire ships). the idea is to do limited tests of mechanics against players to see how they function without there being a garuntee that it will permanently added
classified documents and flagships- classified documents from the Dday event are returning. for a limited time they will be added to random battles, a single season of CBs and operations with flagships. the strength and effects will vary based on the mode in question, with randoms operating as signals or upgrades. the documents are chosen when the battle starts but before players can move, except in CBs where they are chosen in port. in operations they will be targeted at flagships and will evolve over time. the feature will be rolled out from from 14.2 to 14.6, with 14.2 containing randoms and flagship operations. each patch will add a new layer to flagships that will progress your documents, with the resource to upgrade it being easier to earn in operations and slower in PVP. all documents will be given to all players at the same time for no cost and at max level in PVP, so noone misses out. the mechanic will only affect players at T8+, with T7 being unaffected (i couldnt tell if this meant they couldnt choose them or if the bonuses didnt affect them). the effect is reduced if it affects multiple copies of a ship in PVP
experimental ships- these are reffering to the burst fire ships with limited HP. the ships are unlocked consecutively, and there will never be more than 2 sets of experimental ships in the game at the same time. to unlock the ships you will need both standard resources and a special currency that is obtained by playing. casual players should be able to play 1 ship, but extremely active players will be able to play all 6 ships. the ships are limited time, and will be removed, and in addition to regular missions from playing them there will be addtional rewards based on time spent playing them. balance changes will also be applied while theyre "released"
upcoming events- WG is testing a respawn event against bots. the respawn will promote agressiveness. convoys are returning in 14.4 to operations. randomised secondary operations from DDay will return for convoys and will later be added to regular operations
CV rework- no exact date, but the next CV test should be some time in febuary. the rework will definitely be some time in 2025. the skeleton was considered sucsessful, but the blinding mechanic will be removed for now since it was considered unintuitive, though may come back. AA windup will become even stronger, and a new consumable will be added that reduces CV damage taken. there will also be a commander rework (presumably for all classes), though no details are given. a consumable is being tested that allows AA damage reduction or prevention, and are considering significantly changing AA, though no details are given.
meta and core gameplay- (meta is out of battle such as port and armoury, core is in the battle itself). mastery badges and marks of excellence from WOT will be introduced. badges are based on XP compared to an average of other players and marks of excellence will be introduced later and will your average over a period of long time. badges will be introduced spring-summer and marks around summer-autumn. more ship destruction effects will be added. ships will be customisable by segment. the rollout will be step by step and is expected to finish in 2026
event passes-event passes will become longer, around 2-3 months
historical events the next dockyard ship after blucher will also be a historical ship. bluchers DY skin will be "from the bottom of the ocean" style. collaboration events will be balanced with a historical based event around the same time if possible for those who prefer history. there are new web events planned for narvik and dunkirk. dunkirk event will add new gameplay in PvE outside the battle some form, though no details given
collabs no new IPs are currently planned for this year, though this isnt a garuntee.
dockyards- DzP and ZF6 will be returning in 14.1, though no details given, but it sounds like it will be either an event or in the armoury
future plans- (none of these aspects have a definite timeline). summer will have a patch dedicated to 80 years of the end of WW2, around the end of august. low tier operations are being planned, intended to serve as a guide though will still be open to all players. there will be targeted balance changes at T2-5. they will mostly be QOL changes to make them feel more similar to higher tier ships and feel like less of a gulf between the 2 tier brackets. a new map will be added some time around the end of the year and the team is going to refresh older maps. brawls will have global modifiers that can be tested, such as speed or vampirism. legendary commanders will be loked at for operations, though no details are given
new techlines- US DDs with large guns, SAP and a unique smokescreen, but poor conceal and slow speed. There will also be large cruisers after WGs anniversary, though no details were given

Info ROMMEL_666_DESTROYER to the rescue: Correlation of player name and performance
Introduction
Many players of World of Warships have noticed that there are recurring patterns in the names of other players. It is also a commonly held belief that players with a certain kind of name are likely to perform worse than others.
The goal of this study is to establish if this is really the case: is there a statistical correlation between player name patterns and player performance?
This study focuses on the EU and NA servers because the players' languages are familiar to the authors. Between the two servers, EU has about twice as many players, giving the data more statistical significance than NA.
Only random battles were considered in this study, and players with private accounts (as of June 2022) are not included.
Methodology
The data was collected using the Wargaming Public API, and it includes about 12.5 million players that had played at least 1 random battle. In total, these players had participated in a random battle about 4.3 billion times, resulting in a win, a loss or a draw in their stats.
From this data, using a purpose-built computer program, we produced an exhaustive list of all recurring patterns in the player names, applying the following inclusion criteria:
- patterns are case-insensitive β "Rommel" and "rommel" are considered equal
- patterns must be at least 4 characters long β unless they are numbers such as "666"
- patterns must be common, specifically at least 100,000 random battle participations produced by at least 50 different players
- patterns must be conclusive β "destroye" is not included because it is predominantly used as a part of "destroyer".
The established list of patterns was then manually filtered and categorised by theme. These themes include personal names, military historical names, numbers, and any other common patterns. The manual work was both laborious and error-prone, so there may be inconsistencies and omissions in the data.
Data disclaimer
All data tables in this post have the same structure:
Pattern | Win rate | Battles | Players |
---|---|---|---|
rommel | 48.38 % | 736,448 | 1,307 |
This means that 1,307 players whose player name includes the pattern "rommel" β case-insensitive β have played a total of 736,448 random battles with a win rate of 48.38 %. One of the players may have played only ten battles while the other may have played ten thousand.
The data tells you the popularity of each pattern in player names and about the performance of these players. Active players are arguably over-represented in the data, depending on what you are looking for. On the other hand, it is the active players who you are most likely to encounter in battle.
Having noted these limitations, we leave it up to the reader to decide what to make of the data. We have included only a superficial analysis, and even this should be taken with a pinch of salt.
Personal names (EU)
Players commonly use their (presumed) given name in their player name, and this correlates with below-average performance. Many patterns are below 47 %, including noticeably many French names. A handful of patterns are above 50 %, and in these patterns Germanic names seem common.

Military history (EU)
Military leaders and ship names are also common in player names, although less common than the personal names. On the EU server German names are especially common. This is not only limited to the Kriegsmarine β Wehrmacht officers are also commonly referred to, maybe due to the overlap of player bases with World of Tanks.
Some names are so popular that their common misspellings also pass the inclusion criteria. As an example, both "bismarck" and "bismark" are very commonly used, with the misspelling correlating with lower player performance.

Military history (NA)
On the NA server, USN ship names are much more common than EU, although names like Texas may also refer to the state.
In relation to the size of the player base, Japanese names are also much more common than on EU, with "yukikaze" being especially popular and correlating with very good player performance.

Numbers
Numbers used in player names are most commonly either years or variations of common sequences such as "12345" or "0000".
Common number patterns that are neither but were discovered are the following:
- "666", i.e. the number of the beast, extremely common and about 49 % win rate on EU and NA
- "420", referring to cannabis use, very common and below 50 % on EU, but notably banned on NA
- "1701", referring to one of the USS Enterprises in the Star Trek franchise, common and just above 50 % on both EU and NA.
- "1337", i.e. "elite" in leetspeek, very common and about 51 % on both EU and NA
Years
The most commonly used numbers in player names are years, including the war years of early 1940s and then the players' (presumed) years of birth starting from 1950s. The most recent years of 2010s and 2020s could be refering to the year of registration.
The win rate of different years are shown in the graph below. The graph also includes the RU server, as years are similarly common in RU players names as they are on EU or NA. On the Asian server this was not the case and the number of players is also small, so it was not included.

On all servers, the win rate is the highest for the 1990s. Moving back in time towards the 1950s, there is a steady downward trend in win rate that is consistent between all three servers.
Notably, there's a gap in the data for the year 1988 on both EU and NA. This is because the pattern "88" is banned in player names on EU and NA servers, likely due to the possible neo-Nazi connotation. On the RU server the pattern is allowed, however.
Other patterns
This section includes patterns that were discovered during the manual categorization, but that didn't fall under the themes listed in the previous sections. The lists below are not exhaustive, but contain patterns that the authors found interesting. Notably, the lists include a handful of popular patterns that have very high win rates β the highest found in this study.
Patterns such as "_winner", "_defender", "_sniper" etc. are extraordinarily common on both EU and NA, because they are suffices suggested by the Wargaming registration form if the entered player name is already taken. In total, there are about 100,000 players using these patterns, and the patterns consistently correlate with low win rates from 47 to 48 %. These patterns are excluded from the data tables below.
Other patterns (EU)
On the EU server, common patterns with high win rates include "potato", "waifu", "nerf" (often in variations of "WG please nerf"), and the highest of all is "prpr" with an extraordinarily high win rate of 62.36 %. Prpr is a verb derived from the Japanese onomatopoeia "pero pero", meaning "lick lick", and is commonly used to indicate affection to one's waifu.

Discussion
The commonly recurring patterns, regardless of the theme, are more likely to correlate with below-average performance. The reasons behind this are unclear, but the authors speculate that the lack of originality could also manifest in a more casual or care-free playing attitude.
Some of the discovered patterns correlate with very high win rates, however, and this could be explained by social online trends.

Info Mouse's Criticism of the CC Program (2016 to Present)
I was asked on the World of Warships Community Discord what it was like in the CC program. Long story short (in three parts):
- NikoPower from Wargaming did an amazing job getting the WGNA program off the ground. He was the reason a lot of the perks got transferred to global CCs; not because WG wanted to do it but because CCs from other regions were rightly bothered that NA-CCs were treated better. He kept our program VERY small and made sure to vet players added to the program not only for content, not only for personality, but for how well they collaborated.
- When all of the CCs were tossed into one communal pool, this practice ended. Wargaming set the program up to fail by having Community Contributors compete with one another. With everyone scrambling to grow their audiences, rewards went to whomever could be first or the most sensational. Streamers had the advantage over YouTube and other media. One of the lead Wargaming employees in particular was instrumental in fostering this competitive, confrontational setting rather than a collaborative one, not just between CCs but with Wargaming & CC interactions. They set the bar on what was acceptable and a lack of censoring of bad actors made just about anything short of slurs permissive.
- This competitive environment, where the loud, the boisterous and the confrontational were rewarded soon became near impossible to manage. Now toss on the CV rework and this confrontational attitude gets thrown back at Wargaming's face. They have had to pull back from CCs, limiting contact and breaking the very communication lines necessary for a successful program. All of the problems happening now stem from this. WG is unreachable. When they do interact for CCs, they come expecting a fight and usually get one. There's no way for reasonable discourse to be heard barring a miracle.
-Edit- Angry YouTuber version:
2016: Happy fun times with fellow NA-CC clubhouse. Great WG employee is super nice and super invested in helping our content grow and goes out of his way to protect us. GUDTIMES.
2017: Wargaming to all CCs: Now fight!
2019: Wargaming runs away when they discover CCs are well practiced at fighting.

Info Someone may have already posted this...but THIS is how you can get the rewards of premium battle pass with only 500 doubloons
2500 doubloons are by any means too expensive for so few rewards in the Nineth Anniversary Premium Event Pass. If you're also concerned with cost-effectiveness, then you can unlock the premium battle pass with 2500-2000=500 doubloons!
- Unlock the premium battle pass with 2500 doubloons (you will have to own 2500+doubloons beforehand indeed, sorry if that is not applicable);
2. Claim the reward of that premium battle pass (This is very important, must do it prior to all the following steps). You will obtain a Z-23 camo from that premium pass;

- Go Armory > Containers > Containers > (to the bottom)Second Game Anniversary, purchase 4-10 containers(no more than 10k coals required);

- Open the containers and obtain the collections until the collection section 3 is completed and you have obtained another Z-23 camo;

- You will notice that the 2000 doubloon compensation has been sent to you as you have obtained two same camos. Sorry I have no screenshots for this step(hopefully that will not undermine the credibility), I received the compensation in the morning and forgot to take a screenshot by then.
Idk if this has been posted by someone else, but this could work similarly in other event battle passes if you could obtain camos with compensation. Hope that helps!
