Which naval war game has the most historically accurate gun and torpedo accuracy model?
Short answerUltimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts offers a useful approximation, while World of Warships deliberately compresses distance, flight time, and hit rates to create playable battles.
NotesUltimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts receives a favourable assessment for gun and torpedo accuracy, with frequent misses and occasional damaging hits. World of Warships is valued as an introduction to naval history, but the apparent shortness of its engagements and its shell flight times prompt criticism. A panelist distinguishes shortened ranges from a compressed representation of space: a labelled kilometre in the game does not reproduce the same physical scale as a real kilometre. These compromises serve an enjoyable game, while limiting its use as a direct model of historical combat.
