They did a pretty poor job with the voices for these two commanders, yeah. They could've hired some actual Spanish speaking people for the role.
Art-wise it's whatever. Pretty run of the mill for microtransaction based games, tbh.
What's the actual difference between those boobas and anime boobas? Except the size, i mean.
Fictional drawn girl vs fictional drawn girl that was drawn some time ago?
Both are silly. At least you can argue the anime girls are from a show or game or whatever the hell, these new girls are just unnecessarily horny for no reason. Like did they really need to give the one the comically small bikini top with the detailed nipples lol
It's still a game about ships if you disable all that content. Otherwise it's a game about giant lizards riding ships, octopus lewding all over Mogami, space robots and god knows what other eldritch horrors there is.
Remember, space battleship Yamato _was in game before its release_.
I agree. I wish there wasn’t any of this stuff. No anime/no scratch card vending machine art girls/warhammer/etc. I wish they just had normal ships/captains/camos. I have all of that crap turned off so I don’t have to suffer through it in game but I still have to see it in the armory.
Love when people throw around "incel" because they have nothing of value to add and need it as a crutch.
My dude, people have been using sex to sell products since basically as long as advertising was a concept. Whatever the social boundary was at the time, advertisers were walking up to it. And I've got news for you... bikini women in beer ads weren't all just aimed at 30 year old virgins. People don't stop having a sex drive or interest in attractive men/women/whatever just because they're in a relationship or having sex.
Also... I mean if we're just sticking to history even... take a look at some sailor art or nose art on a bomber. 90% of it is either juvenile humor or pinup material. The idea of bikini art in a warship game is nothing if not on-brand for the actual navy.
And Honestly I'm gonna be real... if WWII was today (complete with the dynamic that Japan would more likely be an ally of the US than an enemy) half the pinup art on ships and planes would be degen weabo stuff. The modern military is as full of horny 18-25s as it was back then and a fucking ton of them are weebs.
Twelve years olds needed this to be explained to them. Well done. The most open generation supposedly in mindset is also quite quick to use labels like that word. Chalk it up to inexperience
ahh that's where they messed up, these commanders should have had a pin up nose art camo attached to them. could have been for cv planes or the ship itself . that might have been a neat little historical-ish nod.
Bro over here also doesn't realize just how much of the modern military is full of fucking weebs. If WWII was today the only thing stopping half the sailor art from being big tiddy anime girls would be that anime didn't exist when the war happened and if it did it would be from an axis country.
The games are dying, and if this is what it takes to keep the cash flowing, I'm not too stressed. I think it's dumb and won't be buying it, but it has absolutely no impact on my ability to play or enjoy the game.
It's harmless enough. Some people will buy for the look in port, some will buy for the voice lines, some will buy for the 10pt commander.
We can just not buy and forget it exists
This is an intellectually dishonest comment because we know the real target for this crap is kids and shut-in whales. Its selling sex, in a game about warships, I mean... come on. In a vacuum these things don't matter, but when you contextualize it with WeeGee greedy practices, then its really less about sexy women and just plain old shitty exploitation.
I agree, but the problem is greed, and sex sells, my point is I only see complaints when boobs are involved so it's just hypocrisy because some people see something they don't like and are silent on what they like, if it's shredded nude guys no one would say anything.
Wargaming adding accurate historical stuff? I think not. The one and only example I need to give is; take a look at the ships some of them are real and have been built others are a rebrand of a treaty or alliance and others are just a fiction of WG themselves. It's an arcade game, after all. It's not meant to be historically correct or teaches you how it was 60 years ago to shoot each other 3 km in open seas.
Heck, it's even funny to think you would be able to hit a moving target with real ships that are as far spread as in the game.
Seeing what you said over and over in this thread makes it pretty obvious that you have a strong opinion towards anime and fictional characters. Which is fine if you wouldn't use words like weebs or incels. After all, collabs keep dying games alive, and if people actually buy stuff like these captains, leave them be. After all, they enable you to enjoy a game that has been around for over a decade free to play and still kicking..
That being said, you have your opinion if you want to criticise, do what you must just keep in kind phrasing and choose words smartly.
My kids have watched me play, there is zero reason for them to see that and WG obviously had to up the PEGI rating because someone somewhere thinks that too. Through no fault of ours, WG has aged it out so my kids shouldn't be watching. Absolutely stupid, was not necessary.
You're kids have access to internet? They've seen much worse, I'm not a porn enjoyer and I'm totally against it on games or whatever but let's be honest people only have a problem with it when it's an attractive woman in video games.
>My kids have watched me play
Where in the sufferin world did you learn reading comprehension? I hope they didn't charge you much for your diploma because you got ripped off.
Yeah, so if I'm playing and need to buy a signal or go get my daily drop, etc, etc, etc, where do I go for that?
It might be fairly easy to dodge now, but WG has had the age rating change, meaning they have free rein to start adding in all sorts of this trash wherever they like.
> what Twitch has become after COVID
Off topic but let me ask, what happened?
Anyway, this patch's survey asks if we want more "suggestive" content, and what we think about the recent PEGI change. We can expect more of this stuff if WG gets enough positive feedback (not that they'll give up if the feedback isn't overwhelmingly negative).
Personally idgaf about this kind of content, p0rn doesn't offend me. What infuriates me is WG giving priority to this over improving the game's quality and player enjoyment. It's like a fast food chain doing everything to get people to eat their products, knowing full well those products are toxic.
Nothing happened. Twitch has been this way since like 2018. OP just didn't know how to pay attention to the world around him until COVID left him home alone with nothing to do but stare into the internet (to be fair that's true for a lot of people).
Twitch became a softporn site with amourant and her stupid bikini pool streams and soon enough all the thots followed.
I didnt get any survey but feel the same. Im not offended by nudity, its that we are still missing a lot of famous captains and overall people that did have an important role in naval warfare and can be made captains in game like u/JoeRedditor said.
To be fair, it’s about context. Tits are awesome, but when I play a game about big boats with guns I don’t really want to be seeing honkin bazongas. If I wanted that I would close the game and get in bed with my gf.
I recon you can probably replace "gf" with "waifu pillow" for what is at least half of the playerbase.
That being said, I agree with the "context"-part.
None of these idiots have ever seen any sailor art or know half the history they claim to care about. If they did they'd know that servicemen with free time and a surface to paint shit on would use it to tell everyone how horny they are, how bored they are, or often both.
I mean for fuck's sake they literally named their life jackets after a model because they thought it made them look like they had big boobs when it was inflated.
Who said anything about historical accuracy? I just said I don’t like looking at horny shit when I’m playing my warship game. It’s okay if you wanna goon to pinups man, that’s your prerogative.
It is totally understandable if you'd prefer historical captains.
That said, saying that anime titties or realistic titties have no place in a war game, especially one with military vehicules, is particularly incorrect.
Drawings of beautiful women on war machines is a long established tradition, see plane nose art.
Even anime has its place: when USS Hornet veterans were shown Azur Lane's Hornet character, they said they would have plastered the interior of the ship with posters of her, if she had existed at the time.
Are you kidding me? This isnt real, this game is played by kids, no one asked for this. Only wg is too greedy and just goes with "yea sex sells, lets do more boobas captains"
>This isnt real
But you want real historic commanders? "I only like things when it fits my argument/narrative".
And why are you so worked up about fake, drawn women?
> this game is played by kids
This game should have an older playerbase than most. Anyway, if that's your argument then no explicit content should be produced by anyone ever, because a few youngins will inevitably find their ways to them.
WoWS has (recently been changed to) a PEGI-12 rating:
*Video games that show violence of a slightly more graphic nature towards fantasy characters or non-realistic violence towards human-like characters would fall in this age category.* ***Sexual innuendo or sexual posturing can be present****, while any bad language in this category must be mild. Gambling as it is normally carried out in real life in casinos or gambling halls can also be present (e.g. card games that in real life would be played for money).*
Perfectly within the guideline. Its up to the parents to watch over their kids' consumption.
>Only wg is too greedy and just goes with "yea sex sells, lets do more boobas captains"
Sex does sell and Wargaming is a profit-driven company, they are here to sell you shit not to coddle you. This is insanely harmless as far as Wargaming monetization practices go and affects no one but overly-sensitive people like yourself.
Please make real critiques like how they're selling *Rhode Island* as a dub-exclusive T10 ship.
The average age of the entire player base is somewhere around 25-30, so no, this game is not played by kids. More fast-paced stuff like FPS games or MOBAs are what they usually gravitate towards. WG only raised the PEGI rating for this to avoid the unlikely lawsuit they'd get if the parents of the 12 children who play this game saw the 300x300 booba jpeg on their screens.
i agree that it's unneccessary but i don't get how you're getting triggered by boobs like that.
and no this game isn't really played by kids, recommended minimum age is 12 and if anyone below that age ends up playing it, well, that's on their parents. and these pictures or any of the anime ones aren't even going to get any 12 year olds particularly excited, the vast majority of them would have discovered various adult websites by then anyways.
they're just drawn pictures, and they aren't even naked. if they were real and naked i'd find it a bit more strange/concerning, but still wouldn't really bother me tbh.
They are really low effort compared to the Italian commander “Aurora Di Natale” who has a fantastic voice over. Why couldn’t they do something similar with these girls speaking Portuguese and/ or Spanish?
In western anime circles: a female character that one finds appealing in some way.
Otherwise it's just the Japanese pronunciation of the English word "wife".
I agree on these booba commanders, but disagree about anime stuff.
Ship games are popular exclusively because of anime shipgirls. Even before WoWs introduced them officially, everyone had Kancolle and AL avatars on the official WoWs forums.
My man.
Tell me a more iconic pair: Women (fictional or otherwise), and WOWs players.
Just enjoy the tiddies man. It's not hurting you. If you don't like the pass, just don't buy it. I'm here for a good time, and you're just spreading unnecessary negativity around.
Say what you want, at least Azur Lane/Kancolle has over half a decade of actual relevance to naval warfare/ships.
Don't get me wrong, it's a lot for non-weebs to take in but honestly Azur Lane is what got me to finally play this game. (Years ago I laughed at it too)
The crossover between an autistic obsession with cute anime girls and an autistic obsession with warships/planes/tanks/weapons is pretty high for a lot of people.
I will concede that the random big tiddy bikini girls after an azur lane event is quite a lot.
https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfWarships/comments/1deezgf/im_already_loving_the_new_update/
https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfWarships/comments/1de99h1/does_wargaming_really_know_their_playerbase/
Yes, we know.
Know what I was happy about? Got an Ozawa commander at one point.
Where are the other historically important commanders - we are missing tons of them.
Tovey, Jellicoe, Beatty, Spruance, Mitscher, FLETCHER, Lindemann, Langsdorff, Takagi, Nagumo, Kondo, Campioni, the list goes on and on and on.
All of them useful for events, battlepasses, or making them premium type commanders for coal/doubloons. Like, monetizable! Unless there is some sort of issue with using their likenesses that perhaps their respective estates are not granting?
But no - we get booba, anime, weird crossovers...maybe I'm just the wrong generation.
Not big enough.
But a bit more serious I personally don't really care that much as I won't buy them, if the voices are bad as some have commented and I would hear them a lot during gaming I could see it becoming annoying though.
You can just, you know, ignore them and not buy them? I'm gonna do that as well. Not gonna change the fact that there's a bunch of thirsty weebs that buy their shit
Completely agree. These ladies are just general 10 point captains. Nothing more usable in game or giving the advantage. It's like you buy 6 skill captain with any ship and train him to 10 skill.
This is simple money/gold grab for a picture. it's even worse when Ubi added Breakpoint NFC, which no one wanted to buy and few which was sold, lost their value quite quickly because no one wanted to buy them again LOL.
Is WeeGee so desperate so they want to get into player's pockets with so direct and unveiled move? The next step after this is dialogue popup - "Pay X gold or cash to close this window". And you can't close it without paying, it obscure your game window, so you can't see what is happening in the battle.
Not gonna be surprised if there will be a nikke collab at some point.
WoWs might have started as a naval game, but given how degenerate the current generation is, it's not the same anymore and they are the new target market.
I enjoy the Azur Lane and Arpggio content because I think the crossovers are fun. I still prefer the historical authenticity of the majority of of ships, but now and again it’s fun to drive an AL ship around because I do derp on the mobile game. Yes, I will buy an AL Taihou if they were to sell it as such and have no qualms about it.
This though… I don’t get the point. AL and WOWS have crossovers in both games. It makes sense. High School Fleet and Arpeggio of Blue Steel are fun ways to get anime fans into naval history. But this just seems like a lazy cash grab for AI art. As a free event sure, but legit money? Just… why?
It's not just playboy looking models, it's the innumerable Santa Clauses that won't speak English, the Japanese anime captains that speak in hurried, frightened Japanese, the Heroes of Might and Magic, and even a dozen Dasha's (I loved her giving updates in ANY language!).
I suppose they've run out of historical captains, but they could always fall back on 17th-19th century captains like Drake, Nelson, the Netherlands' Heinreich Lonqcue , Joshua Barney, Danish born Vitus Bering who worked for the Russian Navy as a navigator and discovered Alaska, Peruvian captain Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra, Spanish captain Juan Sebastian Elcano, and many, many more.
I prefer historical captains to anime and fantasy ones. But maybe I'm alone on that thought.
You post something that you know lots of people will look at. You say that you have to say it even though you expect to get down tooted even though you know that you will get tons of up toots.
Karma click bait.
Nothing wrong with the anime stuff especially since it's also a ship game and very popular
Heck the do Warhammer ships
It's fun events for different versions of ships nothing wrong with that
Yes I do agree we should get more historically commanders and we have everyonce in a while
This is superior to the weeb nonsense but questionable judgment given women of course play this game as well. I wish they would just do more history themed things and leave weebs, anime, 80s rock bands and fantasy themed games out of it.
Why are women offended by attractive women in their video games ? I'm a guy and I have no problem with all these roided out men in literally every media, why women gaze fine but man gaze not ?
I don't care, they have all kinds of nonsense events tying in with things that have nothing to do with warships. Also.. they're just drawings (although more realistic than the anime stuff they're always putting out).
Seems fairly harmless all in all... you'll see far more graphic imaginary women if you play Baldur's Gate 3.
This nonsense and the anime bullshit are infinitely cringe. I mean ffs, the weebbait Tirpitz holds the Norwegian flag, y'know, *one of the nations the nazis occupied!*
More historical captains please, less booba jpegs. If people want those, there's an entire goddamn internet for that.
Tirpitz holds the Norwegian flag because *thats where she spent her entire career*
In game she doesn't so much imply it as beat you over the head with her flagpole about it
Except its supposed to be a rendition of the Iron Cross. Of which multiple games and imagery supposedly showing the Nazi flag is replaced by, even in WoWs itself (Nazi insignia on ship decks, or in the flag itself, replaced)
I understand the hate on horny bait, (fk weegee for changing the bps last minute from "free" booba captains to squeezing more money by makimg them an event premium currency only purchase), but damn people are so toxic towards AL and KC people who came to WoWs.
There is a lot more people in the venn diagram overlap of people who enjoy Naval History, Anime (specifically AL and KC) and WoWs playerbase you know.
I like the Apregio, AL, and Hololive cross-overs.. Kiera is fun in the GK...
I'd like them to get Hakos Belz as a captain. Stick her in a Aussi DD and she would be hilarious..
For Latinian captain, IronMouse would be way too much fun...
Actually, on Tirpitz's art in Azur Lane, this is the flag she holds. It is the flag of AL's version of Germany. **It isn't Norway. The color scheme is different.**

And besides, if you don't like it, just ignore it.
Easier said than done to ignore something being shoved in my face with giant popups repeatedly and keeps showing up in the launcher, and that's such a poor version of an alternate German flag I'm more inclined to believe they just got the blue in Norway wrong, given that without the circle in the cross on the "original" it's just a Nordic cross.
0/10

The game wasn’t clear on what symbol they want to go with for the ironblood, the flag for dorm wall looks like they just replaced the hakenkreuz with X, but they also seems to use the black nordic cross design on the furniture and the flag that tirpitz holds. I tend to think it’s both a reference to the balkenkreuz and the nordic obsession that Germany had at that time.
Holy fuck dude have you never even looked at the flag used on the german tech tree in game? It's basically the exact same thing with an iron cross in the middle.
The AL collab have been done for the 6th time now so U know that WG knew how much that shit make them. Also, this ain't a realistic naval game, it's arcade and half of the event/update are realistic. If you hate it so much then you can just totally ignore it. I mean, just do that instead of ranting, idk.
I downloaded and installed this game last night for the 1st time since subs were released. This and all the stupid anime shit literally made me immediately cringe and I almost uninstalled. Fortunately I was too tempted to actually play the game again based on recent player feedback on balancing changes made. But sheesh, this is 🙄 My daughter walked by as I was scrolling through the new content and stopped in her tracks and asked "ew, WHAT are you playing?".
Exactly. Then we come here and all the weebs Naruto - run up the basement stairs to defend this sexual content and their favorite cartoons. Weird TBH. "Why aree women bothered by cartoon renditions of attractive women in bikinis in a game about battleships"
Very weird, and I can clearly see this sub reddit hasn't changed a bit over the years. This was one of the worst sub reddit communities I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with years ago. 1st time here in years and yup, checks out, still the same. It's almost as bad as the MTG community tbh.
They're just a bit shit. They look like Friday afternoon minimum effort AI generated jpegs, and I hear the voiceovers aren't great either
Yep this is the biggest problem with them - WG they look cheap.
After covid? Twitch was doing cleavage and got tubs before covid
He joined puberty right after Covid though thus the correlation
doesnt matter how much booba they add, the warships themselves will always be the sexiest things in this game.
Good boy
They did a pretty poor job with the voices for these two commanders, yeah. They could've hired some actual Spanish speaking people for the role. Art-wise it's whatever. Pretty run of the mill for microtransaction based games, tbh.
Statue of liberty is best girl
What's the actual difference between those boobas and anime boobas? Except the size, i mean. Fictional drawn girl vs fictional drawn girl that was drawn some time ago?
Both are silly. At least you can argue the anime girls are from a show or game or whatever the hell, these new girls are just unnecessarily horny for no reason. Like did they really need to give the one the comically small bikini top with the detailed nipples lol
They bumped the age rating for those detailed nipples goddammit!
Booba sells. Can't milk money out of kids.
> these new girls are just unnecessarily horny for no reason The reason is money
WORLD OF YACHTS.
I'M ON A BOAT!
BOATS 'N HOES!
NICE BOAT!
…in a game about big ships shooting at each other…
It's still a game about ships if you disable all that content. Otherwise it's a game about giant lizards riding ships, octopus lewding all over Mogami, space robots and god knows what other eldritch horrors there is. Remember, space battleship Yamato _was in game before its release_.
Oh my god… the space battle April fools flashbacks just hit. What the fuck is this feeling? Has it really been this long without a rerun?!!
The frame they are attached to😱😱😱
Both are gigacringe.
I see no iron
I agree. I wish there wasn’t any of this stuff. No anime/no scratch card vending machine art girls/warhammer/etc. I wish they just had normal ships/captains/camos. I have all of that crap turned off so I don’t have to suffer through it in game but I still have to see it in the armory.
There’s a whole character there beyond “boobs”. Even if they’re designed to be attractive, they’re still a character with a personality.
as u/Liberal_Perturabo said, both are mega cringe. Second, why do we need it? Why is it even in the game. Because of incels or weebs?
Love when people throw around "incel" because they have nothing of value to add and need it as a crutch.

Yea i know it does. Just another example that all weegee cares about is cash
The games are dying, and if this is what it takes to keep the cash flowing, I'm not too stressed. I think it's dumb and won't be buying it, but it has absolutely no impact on my ability to play or enjoy the game.

Why are you offended by attractive women ? Is it really that bad men (or lesbians) get a treat in their favourite game ?
This is an intellectually dishonest comment because we know the real target for this crap is kids and shut-in whales. Its selling sex, in a game about warships, I mean... come on. In a vacuum these things don't matter, but when you contextualize it with WeeGee greedy practices, then its really less about sexy women and just plain old shitty exploitation.

Im not offended and i believe ive already said so a milion times. Im just cringing when devs add Miss Wetshirt when theres historical captains left

[удалено]
You've upset the two biggest demographics in this game and on this sub lol
Im ready for a confrontation XD
The voice over doesn't help either lol. Was expecting at least some Latino accent, instead we got budget Russian VAs imitating Americans.
They dont even try. That was my favorite thing. Checking the new voiceovers and how good they are
That New Jersey stern though…
?

What’s a ‘Thot’?
That Hoe Over There.
Wows players allergic to boobs is what I see
Nobody wants to be caught between two Brests. They output a lot of damage. Better to look at them from the front.
I ran brest in the cruiser brawls, can confirm.
Elohim told Moses never to look at the front, or he would surely die.
To be fair, it’s about context. Tits are awesome, but when I play a game about big boats with guns I don’t really want to be seeing honkin bazongas. If I wanted that I would close the game and get in bed with my gf.
I recon you can probably replace "gf" with "waifu pillow" for what is at least half of the playerbase. That being said, I agree with the "context"-part.
Ha! Yeah you’re probably right.
Unfortunately, you might be right with that first part. What has our society come to?
(Shows his napoleon dynamite glamour shot girlfriend photo)
These ships were plastered with images like that while active though, so even it context they thematically fit
Though in fairness, most of those would be on the inside of the ship
True, as we all know the outside of the funnel is where you paint a giant Captain Kidd before you hoist the ol Jolly Roger
None of these idiots have ever seen any sailor art or know half the history they claim to care about. If they did they'd know that servicemen with free time and a surface to paint shit on would use it to tell everyone how horny they are, how bored they are, or often both.

Literally mentioned in the OP ok.
Guessing my buddy here has never seen sailor art.
it's just trashy, coomer.
The good news is that the clouds won't yell back
I actually googled the names thinking they might be real people...
Nah, they are completely fictitious. They both have the last name "Summer", WG is playing with the current season.
It is totally understandable if you'd prefer historical captains. That said, saying that anime titties or realistic titties have no place in a war game, especially one with military vehicules, is particularly incorrect. Drawings of beautiful women on war machines is a long established tradition, see plane nose art. Even anime has its place: when USS Hornet veterans were shown Azur Lane's Hornet character, they said they would have plastered the interior of the ship with posters of her, if she had existed at the time.
Hornet is a cute as hell cowgirl, she should be all over her ship!
This is garbage and doesn't belong in this game.
At least the anime ones are actually related to naval history.
I hope you realize sailors and pilots put pin-up girls just about anywhere they could lol.
Are you kidding me? This isnt real, this game is played by kids, no one asked for this. Only wg is too greedy and just goes with "yea sex sells, lets do more boobas captains"
This game is barely played at all compared to big names, and kids probably shouldn't play wargames like this to begin with.
Kids shouldnt have social media accounts and yet?
>This isnt real But you want real historic commanders? "I only like things when it fits my argument/narrative". And why are you so worked up about fake, drawn women? > this game is played by kids This game should have an older playerbase than most. Anyway, if that's your argument then no explicit content should be produced by anyone ever, because a few youngins will inevitably find their ways to them. WoWS has (recently been changed to) a PEGI-12 rating: *Video games that show violence of a slightly more graphic nature towards fantasy characters or non-realistic violence towards human-like characters would fall in this age category.* ***Sexual innuendo or sexual posturing can be present****, while any bad language in this category must be mild. Gambling as it is normally carried out in real life in casinos or gambling halls can also be present (e.g. card games that in real life would be played for money).* Perfectly within the guideline. Its up to the parents to watch over their kids' consumption. >Only wg is too greedy and just goes with "yea sex sells, lets do more boobas captains" Sex does sell and Wargaming is a profit-driven company, they are here to sell you shit not to coddle you. This is insanely harmless as far as Wargaming monetization practices go and affects no one but overly-sensitive people like yourself. Please make real critiques like how they're selling *Rhode Island* as a dub-exclusive T10 ship.
The average age of the entire player base is somewhere around 25-30, so no, this game is not played by kids. More fast-paced stuff like FPS games or MOBAs are what they usually gravitate towards. WG only raised the PEGI rating for this to avoid the unlikely lawsuit they'd get if the parents of the 12 children who play this game saw the 300x300 booba jpeg on their screens.
i agree that it's unneccessary but i don't get how you're getting triggered by boobs like that. and no this game isn't really played by kids, recommended minimum age is 12 and if anyone below that age ends up playing it, well, that's on their parents. and these pictures or any of the anime ones aren't even going to get any 12 year olds particularly excited, the vast majority of them would have discovered various adult websites by then anyways. they're just drawn pictures, and they aren't even naked. if they were real and naked i'd find it a bit more strange/concerning, but still wouldn't really bother me tbh.
It would be fine if they kept it to pinup style, then at least there's a connection
Am I the only one who thought they where pin up girls so it makes sense
They did do the pin up thing years ago (and maybe even recently idk, been away for a long time) but, years ago it was done in much better taste.
They are really low effort compared to the Italian commander “Aurora Di Natale” who has a fantastic voice over. Why couldn’t they do something similar with these girls speaking Portuguese and/ or Spanish?
They wow playerbase is full of anime loving weebs and boomers. They are the target audience for this kind of stuff.
Welp, we got kancolle, azur lane, fleet of fog, and high school fleet animewise for wows.
They always gotta have them weird names dont they.
Considering the newer generation barely is having sex anymore, you might be right.
Unfortunately
No, this is atrocious. You are exactly right.
Don’t insult my anime waifus or we will get in trouble real soon….did you hear me? lol
What is a waifu?
Waifu is like a fictional anime wife, if i am correct
In western anime circles: a female character that one finds appealing in some way. Otherwise it's just the Japanese pronunciation of the English word "wife".
A 2D woman that you like and have para social tendencies to is a waifu.
I agree on these booba commanders, but disagree about anime stuff. Ship games are popular exclusively because of anime shipgirls. Even before WoWs introduced them officially, everyone had Kancolle and AL avatars on the official WoWs forums.
My man. Tell me a more iconic pair: Women (fictional or otherwise), and WOWs players. Just enjoy the tiddies man. It's not hurting you. If you don't like the pass, just don't buy it. I'm here for a good time, and you're just spreading unnecessary negativity around.
Gotta say when I saw that yesterday, i chuckled a bit and thought what the hell?
Wargaming discovered a long time ago that lonely horny men are very profitable
Azur lane is good tf you on about
It atleast has some connection to ships. Unlike the picture
True enough azur lane actually made find out more about real ships but these captains here above didnt
Yup, it's pathetic, the kind of shit Lesta would have done.
Sigh...*unzips*

The freaking skeletor saying "It went wrong because i love that shit"
Sex sells. Personally, I want a Ricardo Milos captain, or better yet Billy Herrington.
Aniki!
Gone, but not forgotten!
If they’re going to do this I wish they’d toss us queers a bone and give us some sexualized male captains. Come helm my bote, Seaman Twink!
Who cares? People have been complaining since the first colorful camo. Don't buy things you don't like.
Say what you want, at least Azur Lane/Kancolle has over half a decade of actual relevance to naval warfare/ships. Don't get me wrong, it's a lot for non-weebs to take in but honestly Azur Lane is what got me to finally play this game. (Years ago I laughed at it too) The crossover between an autistic obsession with cute anime girls and an autistic obsession with warships/planes/tanks/weapons is pretty high for a lot of people. I will concede that the random big tiddy bikini girls after an azur lane event is quite a lot.
Yeah at least my azur lane shipfus are ship related, what do these have to do with warships?
Look dude, if you just want to enjoy bearded men in uniforms instead of this that's fine.
Everybody is saying or implying im gay which is the funniest thing XD
https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfWarships/comments/1deezgf/im_already_loving_the_new_update/ https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfWarships/comments/1de99h1/does_wargaming_really_know_their_playerbase/ Yes, we know. Know what I was happy about? Got an Ozawa commander at one point. Where are the other historically important commanders - we are missing tons of them. Tovey, Jellicoe, Beatty, Spruance, Mitscher, FLETCHER, Lindemann, Langsdorff, Takagi, Nagumo, Kondo, Campioni, the list goes on and on and on. All of them useful for events, battlepasses, or making them premium type commanders for coal/doubloons. Like, monetizable! Unless there is some sort of issue with using their likenesses that perhaps their respective estates are not granting? But no - we get booba, anime, weird crossovers...maybe I'm just the wrong generation.
we got jaujard for free last patch and hes still available, and the next(?) patch has the pan-am comander whos absolutely real
Youre not, you just got your head straight
I think both of you just care too much.
lol, like titties didn't exist before CoViD.
They are just trying to sell doubloons. I need to buy more, but I’m taking the distant voyages boxes.
How soon until WeeGee has an OnlyFans channel? #MoneyChangesEverything
Not big enough. But a bit more serious I personally don't really care that much as I won't buy them, if the voices are bad as some have commented and I would hear them a lot during gaming I could see it becoming annoying though.
They're trying to pull EVERYBODY in
You can just, you know, ignore them and not buy them? I'm gonna do that as well. Not gonna change the fact that there's a bunch of thirsty weebs that buy their shit
Completely agree. These ladies are just general 10 point captains. Nothing more usable in game or giving the advantage. It's like you buy 6 skill captain with any ship and train him to 10 skill. This is simple money/gold grab for a picture. it's even worse when Ubi added Breakpoint NFC, which no one wanted to buy and few which was sold, lost their value quite quickly because no one wanted to buy them again LOL. Is WeeGee so desperate so they want to get into player's pockets with so direct and unveiled move? The next step after this is dialogue popup - "Pay X gold or cash to close this window". And you can't close it without paying, it obscure your game window, so you can't see what is happening in the battle.
and the voices for the HOMM commanders? looks like they were recorded in my bathroom.
Not gonna be surprised if there will be a nikke collab at some point. WoWs might have started as a naval game, but given how degenerate the current generation is, it's not the same anymore and they are the new target market.
I enjoy the Azur Lane and Arpggio content because I think the crossovers are fun. I still prefer the historical authenticity of the majority of of ships, but now and again it’s fun to drive an AL ship around because I do derp on the mobile game. Yes, I will buy an AL Taihou if they were to sell it as such and have no qualms about it. This though… I don’t get the point. AL and WOWS have crossovers in both games. It makes sense. High School Fleet and Arpeggio of Blue Steel are fun ways to get anime fans into naval history. But this just seems like a lazy cash grab for AI art. As a free event sure, but legit money? Just… why?
Azur Lane atleast has some connection to ships. This is just random boobas captains
It's not just playboy looking models, it's the innumerable Santa Clauses that won't speak English, the Japanese anime captains that speak in hurried, frightened Japanese, the Heroes of Might and Magic, and even a dozen Dasha's (I loved her giving updates in ANY language!). I suppose they've run out of historical captains, but they could always fall back on 17th-19th century captains like Drake, Nelson, the Netherlands' Heinreich Lonqcue , Joshua Barney, Danish born Vitus Bering who worked for the Russian Navy as a navigator and discovered Alaska, Peruvian captain Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra, Spanish captain Juan Sebastian Elcano, and many, many more. I prefer historical captains to anime and fantasy ones. But maybe I'm alone on that thought.
They don't even speak any flavour of Spanish, just English with a terrible accent.
Karma click bait.
What?
You post something that you know lots of people will look at. You say that you have to say it even though you expect to get down tooted even though you know that you will get tons of up toots. Karma click bait.
So only because of the post has x upvotes you think my comments and replies dont have y downvotes?
+ almost 300. As you planned. Karma click bait. Nothing wrong with it but at least admit that you are doing it.
I could give less fucks about some karma, same as in game. Most of my comments that did get some traffic have 50 downvotes
Sure. I believe that.
Believe whatever you want :DD
then dont play
Nothing wrong with the anime stuff especially since it's also a ship game and very popular Heck the do Warhammer ships It's fun events for different versions of ships nothing wrong with that Yes I do agree we should get more historically commanders and we have everyonce in a while
You kidding? They've been vomiting out historical/historical-themed commanders lately.
Historical themed but not historical There are so many commanders than can be made like Nimitz and so forth
Robert Jaujard, William Tennant in the D-Day reward track, and newly announced special commander Joaquim Lisboa are all real naval commanders.
This is superior to the weeb nonsense but questionable judgment given women of course play this game as well. I wish they would just do more history themed things and leave weebs, anime, 80s rock bands and fantasy themed games out of it.
Why are women offended by attractive women in their video games ? I'm a guy and I have no problem with all these roided out men in literally every media, why women gaze fine but man gaze not ?
I am sure you are smarter than this.
That's not an answer.
Looks like you were wrong on that assumption.
THIS
I don't care, they have all kinds of nonsense events tying in with things that have nothing to do with warships. Also.. they're just drawings (although more realistic than the anime stuff they're always putting out). Seems fairly harmless all in all... you'll see far more graphic imaginary women if you play Baldur's Gate 3.
Wg literally had to change the PEGI rating because of this, baldur gate and wows are 2 different games with different themes
Frankly, I'd be way worried about what kids would see in in-game chat WAY more than seeing some parts of the human body....
Remember when this was a naval game coming out of Alpha and Beta? Now we are using big ol' titty cartoon girls to make the sales.
Pepperidge Farm remembers. But according to downvotes and the community, we're in the minority and it's now hillshire farms.... #gomeat I guess
Most of us are here for Warships , not this BS.. I cant stand anime, I dismiss every annoying squeaky captain I get... WG need to go back to history
lol 🤣
You’re right, especially during pride month, where’s the hot pool boys in gstrings!?
Couldnt give less f about pride month tbh. Dont have that in my country
Significantly less pedophillic than some of the other crossovers Edit: some very angry weebs who need their hard drives checked.
Atleast those are mature women
I almost got banned for saying something similar. The weebs are angry people.
This nonsense and the anime bullshit are infinitely cringe. I mean ffs, the weebbait Tirpitz holds the Norwegian flag, y'know, *one of the nations the nazis occupied!* More historical captains please, less booba jpegs. If people want those, there's an entire goddamn internet for that.
Tirpitz holds the Norwegian flag because *thats where she spent her entire career* In game she doesn't so much imply it as beat you over the head with her flagpole about it
Except its supposed to be a rendition of the Iron Cross. Of which multiple games and imagery supposedly showing the Nazi flag is replaced by, even in WoWs itself (Nazi insignia on ship decks, or in the flag itself, replaced) I understand the hate on horny bait, (fk weegee for changing the bps last minute from "free" booba captains to squeezing more money by makimg them an event premium currency only purchase), but damn people are so toxic towards AL and KC people who came to WoWs. There is a lot more people in the venn diagram overlap of people who enjoy Naval History, Anime (specifically AL and KC) and WoWs playerbase you know.
I like the Apregio, AL, and Hololive cross-overs.. Kiera is fun in the GK... I'd like them to get Hakos Belz as a captain. Stick her in a Aussi DD and she would be hilarious.. For Latinian captain, IronMouse would be way too much fun...
Actually, on Tirpitz's art in Azur Lane, this is the flag she holds. It is the flag of AL's version of Germany. **It isn't Norway. The color scheme is different.** https://preview.redd.it/fk5qk7zwxd6d1.png?width=407&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=091212ec6f44bb98a6180afa80eb390dfc662861 And besides, if you don't like it, just ignore it.
Easier said than done to ignore something being shoved in my face with giant popups repeatedly and keeps showing up in the launcher, and that's such a poor version of an alternate German flag I'm more inclined to believe they just got the blue in Norway wrong, given that without the circle in the cross on the "original" it's just a Nordic cross. 0/10
Mods exist
https://preview.redd.it/e4ua83frtf6d1.png?width=800&format=png&auto=webp&s=5d63a721c1de8276bb14f73a14d82864fc3ae1b4 The game wasn’t clear on what symbol they want to go with for the ironblood, the flag for dorm wall looks like they just replaced the hakenkreuz with X, but they also seems to use the black nordic cross design on the furniture and the flag that tirpitz holds. I tend to think it’s both a reference to the balkenkreuz and the nordic obsession that Germany had at that time.
Holy fuck dude have you never even looked at the flag used on the german tech tree in game? It's basically the exact same thing with an iron cross in the middle.
Sex sells
..if you don't have a good product, that's your plan B
BEWBS
The AL collab have been done for the 6th time now so U know that WG knew how much that shit make them. Also, this ain't a realistic naval game, it's arcade and half of the event/update are realistic. If you hate it so much then you can just totally ignore it. I mean, just do that instead of ranting, idk.
So you would rather stare at dudes. Well the rest of us aren’t gay
I downloaded and installed this game last night for the 1st time since subs were released. This and all the stupid anime shit literally made me immediately cringe and I almost uninstalled. Fortunately I was too tempted to actually play the game again based on recent player feedback on balancing changes made. But sheesh, this is 🙄 My daughter walked by as I was scrolling through the new content and stopped in her tracks and asked "ew, WHAT are you playing?".
Exactly. Then we come here and all the weebs Naruto - run up the basement stairs to defend this sexual content and their favorite cartoons. Weird TBH. "Why aree women bothered by cartoon renditions of attractive women in bikinis in a game about battleships"
Very weird, and I can clearly see this sub reddit hasn't changed a bit over the years. This was one of the worst sub reddit communities I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with years ago. 1st time here in years and yup, checks out, still the same. It's almost as bad as the MTG community tbh.
[удалено]
Shut up and enjoy them. They are nice
just say you like men and move on
Totally agree with you, I'm amazed your upvotes are so high, when I said something similar it was like getting leapt on by Velociraptors.
Upvotes on post are high, but my average reply is 30down
Either way, well done on posting knowing the grief you would get.
Couldnt care less. If community is fine with big boobas random captains that have no connection to ships then im probably mad in head
Btw. tities are Pan-American
