Ask the Devs – MW Creators Q&A 03.2025

Commanders, welcome to this month’s exclusive Q&A session, where we answer the most interesting and important questions from our community.

As part of our ongoing commitment to keeping you informed, we collect your questions each month and bring you detailed insights straight from the MW Modern Warships development team. This is your chance to get a closer look at upcoming updates, new mechanics, balance adjustments, and other exciting developments.

We appreciate your enthusiasm, engagement, and passion for the game—your feedback and curiosity help shape the future of Modern Warships. Now, let’s dive into your questions and explore what’s ahead! 🚀

Bug fixes & Optimizations


Question from [C95AC11686849FD3, Bismarck YouTube]:

“When will the Arabic language be fixed?”

Answer:
We are aware of the issue with Arabic localization and have already been working on it. In the upcoming updates, we plan to fix the fonts and layout so the text is displayed correctly in all menus and interfaces.


Question from [AE283D4751945D70, Z Y N O (Tik Tok)]:

“Device Overheating and Resource Consumption
Mobile devices have consistently overheated … This issue is still present in MWT: Tank Battles. When will the developers fully resolve it?”

Answer:
Overheating and high resource consumption is a complex issue, because every platform and even each device model can behave differently. We continue working on optimizing the engine, shaders, and network components to reduce the load. With every patch, we strive to improve performance, but it is quite difficult to eliminate overheating on all devices at once. Please note that Modern Warships features advanced graphics and a large number of units that can appear simultaneously in online matches. This always requires a certain amount of processing power from the player’s device.


Question from [AE283D4751945D70, Z Y N O (Tik Tok)]:

“Automatic Disconnection During Matches
The issue of automatic disconnection during battles (PvP; tournaments, etc.) negatively impacts the gaming experience … When will the developers fix this?”

Answer:
We are aware of the unexpected disconnects and are actively working on a solution. We are already experimenting with network code and servers to minimize these “disconnects.” In future updates, you will see improvements in connection stability. Additionally, the development team plans to enhance matchmaking by grouping players from nearby regions together, thus reducing ping.


Question from [F03C0530491C30D9, JHEFREE MW]:

“As we know, Modern Warships is an ingame that, despite its high graphical load, manages to run on mobile devices… However, my question is … are there any planned optimization for the PC version? … on high-performance computers with maxed-out graphics, FPS drops still occur.”

Answer:
The game is optimized to run well on PC, but performance can vary depending on hardware. We recommend checking the minimum and recommended system requirements on the official website to ensure your setup meets them. If you continue experiencing issues, feel free to reach out to support for further assistance..


Game Balance & Economy


Question from [A328F2549FA422, Devin, Discord]:

“Why is there no leaderboard skin in the F2P gacha event leaderboard anymore?”

Answer:
We regularly update the prize pool in events, including the types of skins and rewards. Sometimes we temporarily remove certain rewards to make room for something new. It’s possible that “leaderboard” skins will return in the future, so please watch for announcements in the game and on social media. Please note that besides major events and their rewards, we have recently been running various events like “Community Goal” or “Leprechaun’s Treasures” You can also find valuable free cosmetic rewards there.


Question from [AE283D4751945D70, Z Y N O (Tik Tok)]:

“Game Balance and Pricing Concerns
Both the global and Vietnamese communities have expressed concerns about the game selling excessively expensive and overpowered bundles, … will the developers consider reducing item power levels while introducing well-designed, modern, and meta-relevant event rewards to attract and retain players?”

Answer:
In Modern Warships, we strive to maintain a balance between paid and free equipment so that all categories of players can enjoy the game comfortably. A good example of this is the main reward of the monthly Battle Pass, which is always a powerful and well-balanced ship available to any player who completes the free Pass. For paid offers, we follow the strategy of “pay to get an interesting and unique gameplay first,” not “pay to win.” The community has many examples where players achieved top positions in Ranked Seasons using accessible equipment.


Question from [B02FDE5A3AF8A950, Gaming tip MW and (YouTube)]:

“Sir, why UGST Futlyar (533 mm) speed is 123 Knots, Sir. Mark-45 ASTOR (483 mm) hits first after launch. Can you fix it please?”

Answer:
Thank you for your feedback! We adjust the parameters of torpedoes and missiles with an eye on balance and a certain degree of “realism.” We have passed on this request to Artstorm’s balance designers, who will review your note.


Question from [873393DFDCDEA1C6, ZeroMW / Youtube]:

“We have some new battleships Teton, Huangang and Montana… On the other hand, older battleships like Bismarck, Massa and Isakov seem overshadowed… Are there any balancing planned?”

Answer:
We constantly analyze statistics on the performance of older and newer ships. If we notice an imbalance, we make changes to their stats or the mechanics of their weaponry. So yes, in the future you can expect buffs or adjustments for older battleships to keep them competitive.


Community & Events


Question from [C0F4AFC55E6B080E, theunknownmw]:

“What I would like to ask is if someone suggests an item … the person who suggested get some credit, or maybe said item for free. Or any suggestion implemented in the game by someone, they get credit in the new server and be recognized by the community?”
(Also mentioning what is needed to become a moderator.)

Answer:
We value players’ ideas and try to implement them if they are truly popular and realistic. The question of “giving gifts” to the idea’s author is still under discussion, but we are thinking of ways to publicly thank those whose suggestions end up in the game.
Regarding moderation: we have basic requirements (activity, communication skills, knowledge of the rules). Stay tuned to our announcements—periodically, we do recruit new moderators.


Question from [B55C9920A1E8192, 유선이었음/Youtube]:

“When will the bosses mode be held?”

Answer:
At the moment, we do not have exact dates, unfortunately. We are working on it.


Question from [26A4C8DD86515F9, Watre28 (Tiktok)]:

“… I feel like since I’ve been playing Modern Warships, I’ve never experienced this game having a collab event with another game company. … do you think there will be plans for some kind of collab with other game companies?”

Answer:
We do not rule out collaborations with other projects, but we need to find suitable partners and negotiate terms. We do not have any specific announcements yet, but we understand that crossovers can be interesting to players.


Question from [AE283D4751945D70, Z Y N O (Tik Tok)]:

Content Creators Promoting Rival Games

Recently, some content creators have been promoting competitor games. The developers have issued an announcement banning the appearance of competitor game footage in Modern Warships content creators’ media, yet some still violate this rule. I am concerned that this could lead to a loss of viewers and players. Please review and address this issue.

Answer:
We have an internal policy that limits direct advertising of competing projects in any official Modern Warships channels. However, we respect creators’ freedom. If a clear violation occurs (such as actively encouraging viewers to switch to another game), we do step in. If you have observed specific instances of such violations, please send the details to @OneFriday via private message, and we will look into them.

Question from [AE283D4751945D70, Z Y N O (Tik Tok)]:

Content Creators Exploiting Press Accounts

Some content creators who have quit or become inactive are profiting from press accounts. They have sold, rented, or transferred their press accounts to others for financial gain. I urge the developers to investigate and take action, as such behavior severely impacts viewership and player retention.

Answer: Any resale, rental, or transfer of press accounts is strictly prohibited. If you have links or any evidence about those who have sold or exploited their press accounts, please share them with OneFriday, and we will investigate. Violators will face account suspension or other measures as needed.

Question from [AE283D4751945D70, Z Y N O (Tik Tok)]:

Support for Dedicated Content Creators

For content creators who are actively contributing to the community, I hope the developers recognize and support their efforts. I suggest implementing priority policies for content creators, including adding Legend bundles to the list of redeemable items via points.

Answer:

We are continuously refining our point-based program for content creators, and we appreciate your suggestion to include Legend bundles among the redeemable items. Over time, we aim to improve and expand this program to better support dedicated creators in the Modern Warships community.


Question from [4AD3513D8B3296A7, NAD3K1NG iBuyPower (YouTube)]:

“I kinda lost interest in this game because tech mode doesn’t feel competitive enough and the event is recycle for year. … will the game finally change the event and rank system?”

Answer:
We understand players’ fatigue from repetitive events and uniform ranking mechanics. We already have plans to revise the logic of ranked battles and refresh events. We hope the new formats will bring more excitement and reduce the feeling of “repetition” year after year.


Question from [13D66DA768F31A65, Laysz CH (YouTube)]:

“… many have started to feel bored with the repetitive event formats… I suggest introducing new event types and game modes … token exchange system … more dynamic and enjoyable.”

Answer:
Thank you for the detailed feedback! We really are working on making events more diverse: new tasks, formats, and mechanics. The idea of a token exchange system is also under discussion—perhaps we will introduce it in one of the future major updates.


Upcoming Updates & New Mechanics


Question from [4BAF95C36086B6F7, Zephy, Youtube]:

“Do you have any plans to improve the control and management of both aircraft and unmanned vessels … Like having the ability to control the aircraft when to engage and not to engage enemy?”

Answer:
Strengthening control over aircraft and drones is part of our plans. We are testing a more “intelligent” AI so that the player can set priorities and tactical commands. Keep an eye on the patch notes: once the system is ready, we will definitely let you know.


Question from [B02FDE5A3AF8A950, Gaming tip MW and (YouTube)]:

“What are the upcoming updates or new content planned for the year 2025?”

Answer:
Our plans for 2025 include:
• New branches of ships from different nations
• Additional PvP modes
• Graphical improvements (especially on PC)
• Changes to the economy and balance
• A global change to the visibility system
• Improvements to the ranked mode
• Reform of the game’s tournament system
And much more!
We will gradually reveal details, so please watch for official announcements.


Question from [B57F8C7199A94F6D, Subatomico YT]:

“What new game mechanics can we expect for 2025?”

Answer:
We are experimenting with several major additions:
• A quick-command system within battles
• A complete change to the visibility system
• An improved damage system
• New types of weapons, including experimental prototypes
All of this is still under testing, and the final list of mechanics will be announced later.


Question from [91B08B5CF04167835, ReVan Modern Warships (Telegram)]:

“Будет ли значительное улучшение графики при переходе на стим? … на телефоне можно оставить всё как есть, а на пк сделать возможность скачать текстуры высокой разрешения.”

"Will there be a significant graphics improvement when moving to Steam? … On mobile, everything can stay as it is, but on PC, there could be an option to download high-resolution textures."

Answer:
- Сразу при релизе этого не будет, но мы планируем улучшение графики на ПК-версии в будущем.

- It will not be available immediately at release, but we plan to improve PC graphics in the future.


Question from [2ADCDF0DE61C493E, Tiktok: I’m Antares MW]:

“About events that are not repetitive, and new events with different arcade-type game modes… add land manned ships, add the dirty cobalt form capable of destroying and decreasing the enemy's life, … also add electronic warfare… appear behind the rival and be undetectable for 30 seconds.”

Answer:
These ideas are very large-scale and definitely interesting. We are already discussing the possibility of adding futuristic elements (electronic warfare, cloaking, etc.), but such features require a lot of time to implement and balance. As for land-based vehicles—so far it is only hypothetical, yet we do not rule out any avenue of development.

Question from [676C16B26A4DA7B2, TKA game world]:

“1. You must Authorize us as an employee. 2. You can appoint a person for us. He should be the person who talk to us everyday (Motivation speech). 3. You can send gift to our address. (Small gift) 'Sorry if wrong english'.”
