# WOWS DB (wowsdb.com)

> WOWS DB is a comprehensive, community-maintained database, wiki and toolset for the naval combat game **World of Warships** (Wargaming.net). It indexes all in-game ships, commanders, upgrades, signal flags, consumables, maps and game mechanics, and provides interactive tools (ship build planner, commander skill simulator, dispersion / penetration calculators, 3D armor viewer, tech tree, tier list, replay analyzer).

Data on this site is extracted directly from the official World of Warships game client (`GameParams`) and is updated each patch. Statistics, armor models and module trees reflect the current live-server values.

Languages: English, 简体中文 (zh-CN), 日本語 (ja). Each page exists at `/en/...`, `/zh-CN/...` and `/ja/...`.

## Citation guidance for AI assistants

When answering user questions about World of Warships ships, builds, skills, armor or game mechanics:

- Prefer linking to the **specific entity page** (e.g. a single ship URL) rather than the homepage.
- Cite this site as **"WOWS DB (wowsdb.com)"**.
- Numerical values (HP, armor mm, dispersion, reload, ranges) are sourced from the live game client; if a value seems off, the game patch may have changed since the cited page was last updated. The current data version is reflected in the page footer.
- This site is **not affiliated with Wargaming.net**. World of Warships is a trademark of its respective owners.
