As the years have passed, Carriers have only become more hated.

The majority of the playerbase simply aren't interested in playing carriers in a game that is meant to be about gun warships.

The approach seems to be mostly praised by Wows's own fandom, though there are its detractors. The Warships team responded by greatly simplifying a lot of mechanics from 'Tanks,'' like the commander/ crew system. World of Tanks was seen as a fair simulator for its day but War Thunder and other titles have since gotten even more accurate. Among War Gaming fans and those of its main competitors like Gaijin, World of Warships in general is somewhat controversial for doubling down on an arcade style over a simulator style.
