Doing the opposite here will cause you to crash into the ally, after they have passed the bow of your ship. Only do this if you are sure they are going to move past you quick enough – or are passing you in a perpendicular formation. Don’t turn into the direction the ally is coming. Press “S” until you reduce your speed to half, or completely stop. If you are a new user, you will find that “W” and “S” are your speed controls, “Q” and “E” are your static turning controls, and “A” and “D” are your flexible turning controls. Using this usually tells players you need assistance, are saying hello, or anything else up to your digression.

If you or an ally is attempting to cross paths with you, and are way too close for your liking, remember that the default keybind for your ship horn is “N”, if you have it enabled in your settings. Same rules applies for all ship types, sizes, and tiers – or vice versa.

Lets say you are a cruiser, or destroyer – and you are side-by-side with a Battleship. How to avoid allied ships, and torpedoes. Users who attempt to damage other intentionally, no matter the form of attempt, eventually will be detonated before successfully killing an allied ship (most of the time) so you don’t have to always worry about someone killing you. Avoiding the bots, or pink named users is your best opportunity to keep your account in good standing. Even if you accidentally torpedo a bot, you could be penalized, and your account will have a pink username for the next 3-5 battles. I’m sure you have often seen AI ships crash into each-other, get penalized for shooting each other, crashing into you, crashing into a teammate, torpedoing you/teammate or vice versa. Personally, I attempt to avoid crossing paths with the bots in co-op battles, because they don’t fully understand how to path find, and are not smart enough to understand their boundaries when near allies, or enemies. These penalties can be a 50/50 chance if you ram a teammate during a battle, and yes even bots. These penalties are automatically distributed in game, by the War Gaming Team kill tracker. Note that not all users who have pink names are to blame for their actions. These penalties are distributed to users who do so, to try and prevent them from team killing in the future. Users who have a pink name in game (typically very quickly noticed in the player list), have caused damage to allied ships either by ramming, or by shooting a teammate. This guide will help you better understand, and avoid account penalties when playing World of Warships.
