While you do get a decent boon of currency with each round and level up, the second upgrade I was offered for one of my ships was 200,000. Since so much of the deals in the store are based on microtransactions, the in-game currency is worth its weight in digital gold. Unfortunately, Wargaming seems to embrace this model as you are 100% going to be paying several hundred dollars on this game if you want to be the best of competition. World of Warships is a free-to-play game and as most people know by now, free-to-play usually means pay-to-win. Which brings me to the problem I mentioned at the beginning. It was a little frustrating to be absolutely decimated the first few rounds but once you figure how responsive the ship is to steering and speed, the rest of the game comes pretty handily. Except this seemed more like I was the cow being lowered into the raptor in Jurassic Park. There’s a ‘tutorial’ that you play through to get you accustomed to the game, you know, like a tutorial would. I did run into a few problems with World of Warships though. That’s usually when you find yourself in the crossfire of a group of ships and you’re very quickly on fire. It’s all fun and games when you’re defending a base as you and a couple of teammates are devastating everyone in sight but much different when you have to thread through the island terrain to try to outflank an enemy. Tactics play a huge role in this game, something that took me some lumps to understand. Where I failed in my tactics in that match was assuming my brawn could get me through the match but four much faster cruisers cut me to ribbons as they sailed circles around me while an enemy destroy shelled me from afar. Fast forward to me dead in the water, torpedoes incoming, desperately trying to shell an enemy ship into oblivion before the torpedoes take me out. Several times in the capture the flag style game where you and your team must secure the most bases before your enemies I went in with supreme confidence that I was going to wipe the floor with my enemies. While you may have the biggest ship with the highest HP and the most amount of guns, by no means does that give you superiority over the sea. It’s All Fun and Games Until You’re Dead in the Water
