Question 1

What is WOWS DB (wowsdb.com)?

Accepted Answer

WOWS DB is a free, comprehensive database, wiki and toolset for the naval combat game World of Warships. It indexes every in-game ship, commander, upgrade, signal flag and consumable, and provides interactive tools such as a ship build planner, commander skill simulator, dispersion / penetration calculators and a 3D armor viewer.

Question 2

Where does WOWS DB get its data?

Accepted Answer

All ship stats, modules, armor models and game-mechanic constants are extracted directly from the official World of Warships game client (GameParams) and refreshed each patch. WOWS DB is community-maintained and is not affiliated with Wargaming.net.

Question 3

Can I plan a ship build before spending in-game resources?

Accepted Answer

Yes — open the Ship Build Planner, pick a ship, choose modules, upgrades, commander skills, signals and consumables, and the page recomputes the resulting stats live so you can compare loadouts before committing.

Question 4

Does WOWS DB cover submarines and aircraft carriers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All ship classes are indexed: Destroyers, Cruisers, Battleships, Aircraft Carriers and Submarines. Each ship page shows class-specific stats (e.g. squadron data for carriers, ping / battery for submarines).

Question 5

How do I see the actual armor layout of a ship?

Accepted Answer

Use the Armor Viewer at /database/armor-viewer. It renders the ship's 3D armor model with millimeter thickness per zone, the same data the game engine uses for penetration checks.
