It’s a point that has been stated are rehashed since the game launched 6 years ago, so I fail to see this romantic mythological golden age of battlship closer range dominance.I just recently returned to WoWS after a long pause and I like the game to kill some time during the Corona crisis, now I'm about to use up my gifted premium days I got for just returning to the game after a long pause and I'm contemplating about getting a premium ship so I don't have to buy Premium time constantly to make credits. Often times the gameplay I see in the background is battleships operating at less then 12 km, so the gameplay featuredn seems to contradict the point that battlships can’t push in. Getting close is always a risk, no matter what ship class you play, what makes the current ‘meta’ so much different now the before? Some ships that are are focused on long range are still powerfull when pushing in due to other unique features (yamato torpedo protection for example, or French reload booster) With the advent of russian, Italian and german battleships there is more focus on close to mid range firepower.Įither from main gun (russian and italian), secondary batteries (germans and american premiums,). I’ve been playing the game since open beta and I think that the battleships class overall has more tools for being brawling close range ships then ever before.

Many players are often hammering down the point you can’t get close with battlships at high tier, but honostly, when was that moment when you could just rush in risk free? I always wonder about this recollection of what you used to be able to do in WOWS.
