This article will try to debunk the commonly used terms of Dispersion & Sigma to describe a ships accuracy. While the World of Warships Wiki actually does a great job at describing these two terms in depth (Check it out  here ), I want to try and make it a little easier to understand as well as ‘correct’ a few terms that are used as well as provide some clarification. DISPERSION In short, dispersion is the value used to describe the horizontal (and vertical – though the only value listed in port is horizontal) distance in which shells are expected to disperse at a range. The value in port represents the maximum horizontal dispersion for the maximum range of the ship. An example of this is the Montana has a maximum dispersion of 296m at 23.65km. So in this instance, when you fire your Montana shells at a broadside target locked (very important) ship at max range, the left most shell and the right most shell will be, at max, 296m apart. 1  This does not mean that there will ...

There are so many things to look at when you start specing out a new ship; from the captain skills, to the modules, to the flags. All totaled, there are probably thousands of different combinations of these 3 groups to consider when setting up a new boat but in this guide, I will help some of you newer players, and perhaps some of you veteran players, narrow down the possibilities based upon a few considerations: play styles, both personal and ship, ship type, and individual ship specs. Play Styles Play styles can be broken down into two parts – personal and ship. In regards to each, a ship’s play style may compliment a player’s play style, that is not always so the other way around. Further to that point, often times a personal play style has to change in order to succeed in a certain meta. With all that said, let’s break down the two play style categories (if you will) and how they can effect how you spec a ship Personal In either play style – personal or ship – a single...
