* ArtisticLicenseShips: We do have a few issues here.
** The Atlanta-class light cruisers are depicted without their torpedo armament, and also have their torpedo stat permanently set at zero, preventing them from accepting launchers or launching torpedo salvos.
** USS ''Omaha'', the sole member of the Omaha-class light scout cruiser in-game as of the end of 2015, does not have her assortment of single and twin 6-inch guns. Instead she uses the single and twin 5-inchers that are shared with other [=USN=] ship classes (eg. The twin 5-inchers are shared with the Atlanta-class [=CLs=], and the Allen M. Sumner, Porter, and Gearing-class [=DDs=], and single 5-inchers with the Fletcher-class [=DDs=]).

** Examples of the former are the two named [=SBD=] Dauntless dive-bomber squadrons that come with [=USS=] ''Enterprise'', the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._Wade_McClusky McClusky]] and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Halsey_Best Best]] squadrons. [[note]]It was McClusky's squadron that spotted ''Arashi'' and shadowed her back to the fleet. Best's squadron, or more specifically Best and two of his wingmen, led the attack on ''Akagi'' while everyone else, due to confusion, was dog-piling on ''Kaga'', with Best himself scoring the bomb hit that effectively crippled the ''Akagi''.[/note]]

There are two versions of the game, developed by different companies [[TroubledProduction due to legal problems between them]]. The official one developed by moeFantasy and another one developed by Patch Games (the former game's distributor). There's a third version in works for users in Thailand developed by Pocket Games and there's a English version in works.

* NoSwastikas: Enforced, in more ways than one.
** For direct examples, the swastikas on all the German ship girls are rendered as crosses.

This is a piece of equipment that gave a slight boost to firepower and was rewarded for those who participated in the beta test. But that's not all it was used for. Until a certain date, all Japanese aircraft featured in the game were given THIS pack of sausages as their art, as to not display the Rising Sun. Even after their aircraft got actual art, the Rising Sun logo was replaced with the Takeda Clan logo.

* MightyGlacier: Monitors and slow Battleships. While both have the guns to take on practically any surface vessel, and the armor to take return fire, they aren't particularly fast (more so with Monitors), and the former ship type doesn't exactly have the survivability against those that can over-power them.
