Today, we're going to tell you about how we make decisions in regard to the appearance of new ships in World of Warships, what a papership is, and what research is done before veterans of naval battles are recreated in our Tech Tree.

In this issue of Hot Fix, our designers, historians, and artists will share their experiences of dealing with emergency situations, and they will also provide insights into the general principles by which ships are created and designed.
