From Decent to Bad
Its a fun game that had somewhat of a F2P and P2P balance but the recent update absolutely ruined that. Unfortunately now it leans heavily into Pay2Play.
Battle pass
Please revert to old battle pass system

La app no para de cerrarse y es un problema que lleva así desde muchos años.
Game is definitely getting better but progress can still be made
I started playing this game over 3 years ago and I have to say that they rarely disappointed me, adding new vehicles and ships every month. HOWEVER, the new battle pass system IS HORRIBLE. It’s advertised as a win for the f2p community but if you dig deeper, it’s really something for the p2w only because they don’t even give you enough of the credits to afford the originally free battle pass ship every month, which is just crazy to me. I think this game is going on a downward spiral nowadays and the only way they can fix it is to give us an actually reasonable amount of credits, like 2-3x what we currently get from the free pass without paying
Greetings to the old players of game developers' operation pits.
The game pass has been changed on July 1, 2026. Please read this message. I hope the newcomers will see it. Consider whether you have the wealth of Musk before deciding whether to play this game.
Hard to play the game when it doesn’t work.
No point in trying to play the game when it just cuts off and kicks you out after a few minutes of playing. Doesn’t matter how strong your internet is, or how many rams or GB you have. This seems to be a reoccurring problem that designers just continue to ignore. FIX YOUR GAME
Dont play unless you want to pay
The creators are a bunch of greedy russian. Player base is a bunch of old retired men who dont do anything outside of play this game. Its incredibly unbalenced and just a money pit. Dont waist your time.
Waste of time
When you start it’s easy but when you are better all the ships start targeting you don’t get this game.
chỉnh game tệ
càng chơi càng tệ ..toàn bọn nhà game vô hack..chơi phí tiền
Game is a scam.
They will block the game after a little while, after you spend any money on it, and force you to pay them 304 USD to continue playing or forever have your account blocked. Fraud or scam, I don’t know, but I do know that this developer is untrustworthy.
Bugs
So many bugs like events whatever we start playing for one minute then definitely exits the app
Pay to win
World of Warships Mobile is disappointing. The game claims to be skill-based, but it feels heavily pay-to-win. Players who spend money get access to stronger ships, upgrades, and advantages that make it difficult for free-to-play players to compete fairly.
Nuke subs ruined the game

Used to be great but….
I used to love this game I played it for I think 2 years. Then one day everything changed and the nuclear missiles function on my subs became this thing you had to suddenly target manually. Then I find out that you can’t just use them within a certain blast zone. Well if I’d known they were going to do that I wouldn’t have invested as much time and money as I did. I just wanted a few minutes of escapist fantasy each day where I finally get to win something and now I can’t even win at this. It’s just sad. You can keep your realism I just wanted a chance to blow up ships and feel good. Such a shame really. Very disappointed.
Never received vessel with purchase
I bought a 3.5 million dollars vessel and never received it! It is not in my inventory
It was good
I logged back in for the first time in a year and everything I had was gone my aircraft carrier my submarines all gone and it it won’t load anymore please fix that issue I love this game
Pro-Russia pro China anti-america bias
So if you play as a US or nato ship mostly a carrier or a cruiser you will get one shot by su-57s from the typhoon fix your game!
There is no option to look for my account
Only option is “TO Battle”
H
The game sucks never get to play it because I always get kicked out of the game
Moderators
Moderators ruin the game by creating an unfair advantage. Moderators are also clan leaders and will ban people in local chat. Therefore the clans they are competing against can’t recruit in local chat. The game is managed horribly.
Getting kick out
I keep on getting kicked out, please help me.
Subs
You have 0 sub visibility on certain maps it’s ridiculous you can’t see also underwater obstacles your torpedoes just hit mountains and rocks now you gave ships this weapon that unloads tons of bomblets non stop you have now made sub’s obsolete it’s not fun anymore
No optimisation
Even though i have a high end device it always lags,crashes and can’t even let me load and also lags in low settings so the first thing to focus now is optimisation of the game so people can play it more easily without a high end device and also play it further I recommend that you will need to hide that thing that people don’t see like when drive a ship hide the front ships props without making anyone notice i played it smoothly in like 1 year back but now its gust unplayable cause your having no optimisation. Thanks for the reply and please fix it fast cause i have a account with maxed out ships and everything and i want to regain it
Horrible lag and button placement
Has a horrible lag to where you are already dead before you can control anything. The submerge button for the sub is too close to the fire button so you end up surfacing your sub and get killed
HONEST Modern Warships Review, go play War thunder or World of Warships instead.
This game is good, dont get me wrong, good graphics, voice acting, and good weapon and ship designs. I started playing in 2023-2024ish and I could never stay committed to this game due to the pay to win, and the in-game store deals are terrible, for $100 dollars you only get around 10K gold, which sounds awesome until you realize most good ships go for 11-20K gold, same goes for the “Market” system, really bad in-game store pricing and everything good that makes you want to play the game is locked behind a paywall leaving you with terrible overpriced ships that take way too long to grind for (even longer if its to get better weapons for said ships) the only reason i gave it 2 stars was due to the good graphics and gameplay, too much pay to win if your looking for a game thats easy to grind and has no pay to win, also the amount of lag is astonishing, do NOT play if you have a weak phone, this feels more like a Console/PC game, I had gotten into REALLY and I mean REALLY good matches just for the game to crash literally halfway or at the end of the match which caused me to lose out on a lot of XP and money, its really annoying and i dont know why since I have a pretty good phone with a lot of space and I make sure to close out of every other app before playing to reduce lag YET I STILL CRASH this is so annoying please add a feature that lets us rejoin after crashing for god sakes, and everytime i get in a game I feel like my team is full of AI while the enemy team is full of actual god tier players, it feels like this game has it out for me with the crashes and the terrible teams, something that is also extremely annoying is the amount of in-game purchases that pop up when you open the game, nobody wants to be bombarded with overpriced things when they want to play a game, this was my completely honest review of this game, its fun but there are a lot and I mean A LOT of issues before it becomes a “AAA” game.
