WoWS Q&A – 16th April 2017

Off: Excuse me everyone for being away from TAP. I had to visit my grandpa this Easter and I hope everyone had a nice weekend.

Back to the Q&A. Thanks to Babykim, EU:

Top performing ships in version 0.6.3 following profound changes in game-play, such as the removal of open-water invisi-fire.

The performance is evaluated separately for the median and top players, according to RU server statistics available to video-blogger z1ooo.

Separate note on carriers. Carriers still perform better than all other ships types on all tiers. Japanese carriers are still outperforming the American carriers on all tiers, more so in terms of winrate rather than damage and frags. The exception is USS Saipan at tier 7. The skill-gap between the median and the top carrier players have increased. Bogus is still the worst ship on tier 5.
