Do we have enough 'ironic' or 'sarcastic' slang terms for WoWS?

I don't think we do.

We have some obvious ones, like BBabies (very old now, I wonder if that was invented back in Alpha testing days?).

I prefer 'Herrings' for WoWS players, as opposed, to using land animal slang 'Lemmings' (WoT). I suppose WoWP could use 'Bats' (as in your belfry)?

As to a contemporary subject, the proposed changes to reworked CVs, as this could be termed a 'rework of a rework', how about  'reborked borked CVs'? 😁

I like 'Flubs' for Subs (very appropriate, imo).

What other 'gems' could be (or are) out there? Anyone?

Double baked CVs. Because the devs are obviously baked out of their minds, and like the beans its giving the player base a lot of gas.

Not only more apt, but more accurate. This describes folks who blob together and whose maneuvering is more to use everyone else as meatshields rather than pushing despite their numerical advantage. Like it.

Saipain is old...one of those rare nicknames that survived the meme becoming the exact opposite.

In the RTS days, facing a Saipan was pain. In the rework days, sailing a Saipan is pain.

The other two are newer, and heard mostly by those who play CVs.

Fun and engaging

For me it is a very sarcastic term.

Saw this image in a Chinese chat group a week or so ago, and it resonates with my experience in last few months.

I've said since the early WOT closed beta days, "Sometimes you're Rambo, Sometimes you're Mr Magoo" when it comes to RNG and the match maker. Today seems to be my Mr Magoo day.

"Overpen, Overpen, Ricochet, (or just shells flying wide/short/long/wherever), Torpedo Tubes Destroyed, Fire!"...

Sometimes you troll the game, sometimes...the game trolls you.

Haven’t heard that one in ages.

A couple other classic nicknames:

Furry Taco

Des Memes

Shiny Horse

Has there been any agreement on precise spelling for the obvious one for Kunming yet?

I've previously suggested 'Mal' for L'Adroit, although I'm sure someone can think of something far better...

funny that you mentionned this, for in our (very small) clan, we nicknamed this ship "cuntming".  😄

Well I have a few that can sound offensive but there's worse then mine.

CVs= Corona Virus and her planes.

Sub= Underwater/bottom medical suppositories because WG is a PG 13 title... I can only use medical terminology and still be compliant. 

If the game had an adult rating.... Subs would be underwater s*x toy easy 🤪.

I have nothing against the ships (well maybe against CVs since they will be able to spam HE).

These are my weird names I've given to these classes.

When I was in the Navy in the late 80’s/early 90’s we referred to subs as “sewer pipes”. My submariner friends referred to us destroyer types as “targets”

I misspelt 'Dockyard' by typing 'Dickyard'. Works for me 😁.

For WG, I have plenty of 'slang terms' such as 'War Sh*t', 'War Failing', 'War Disaster' & not to forget 'War Cheat'.

'Wedgie' is another one but in the sense of an 'atomic wedgie' (George Costanza being the WG player & WG management being the other locker room guys 😁).
