World of Warships as a visual history aid

What limits World of Warships as a tool for demonstrating naval history?

It is useful for seeing ships and unrealized possibilities, but its ahistorical gameplay does not demonstrate how real naval warfare worked.

World of Warships works best here as a visual aid for ships and unrealized designs. Its models can make unfamiliar technology and possibilities easier to explore. The gameplay is ahistorical, so it cannot demonstrate how real navies operated or fought. It can prompt further study without serving as a reconstruction of naval combat.
