History VideoGame / WarshipGirls

** The gold chest's description mentions that each chest weighs 38 tons, "just enough to cast a Type 59". Referencing the Chinese-only [[http://ritastatusreport.blogspot.com.au/2015/08/type-59-g-in-hd.html?m=1 gold Type 59 tank]] from VideoGame/WorldOfTanks.

There used to be two versions of the game, developed by different companies [[ExecutiveMeddling due to legal problems between them]]. The official one developed by [=moeFantasy=] and another one developed by Patch Games (the former game's distributor). The Patch version has since been shut down. There exists another version, developed for users in Thailand by Pocket Games. And both the English and the Japanese version are in works.

** USS ''[[http://warship-girls.wikia.com/wiki/Omaha 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 dual-purpose 5-inchers are shared with the Atlanta-class [=CLs=], and the Allen M. Sumner, and Gearing-class [=DDs=], and single 5-inchers with the Fletcher-class [=DDs=]). USS ''Milwaukee'' (Appearing under her Lend-Lease form ''Murmansk'') sidesteps the issue entirely by not having any equipment with her upon acquisition.

* SheIsAllGrownUp: Destroyers attaining a remodel version is this, becoming more matured and older compare to their younger selves.

How about having [[http://warship-girls.wikia.com/wiki/Hood HMS ''Hood'']] and [[http://warship-girls.wikia.com/wiki/Bismarck KM ''Bismarck'']] fight side-by-side against the Abyssals? No problem.

** 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.

* CastOfPersonificaitons: The game is about personified World War II warships, shown in the form of attractive girls.

* AndYourRewardIsClothes: The "Operation Swimsuit Heist" time-limited quest that unlocks Helena's swimsuit costume. Which requires going to a specific spot on a stage and defeating the unique enemy "Holiday Fleet".

* ExcusePlot: The old plot given by Patch at E3 goes something like this: a nuclear test in 1945 gone wrong somehow [[NegativeSpaceWedgie messed up the space-time continuum]] and sent the entire Solar System into the future, in a galaxy far, far away. An alien race called the Precursors, the dominant species of that time, is running out of resources and wants the Earth. They created the Abyssals because a full scale invasion would likely blow up the planet. Back on Earth, the Allied Nations and the Axis Powers banded together to fight the aliens, creating the ship girls.
** moeFantasy has since stated that Warship Girls [[NoPlotNoProblem "has no official background settings"]].

* JokeCharacter: Sükhbaatar, the only ship of the Mongolian Navy. Being an old tugboat, she is predictably horrible at fighting. Though she does have the "Fishing" skill, which makes acquiring high rarity ships easier.

Once upon a time, Kadokawa Games released on DMM.com a free-to-play browser CollectibleCardGame featuring [[VideoGame/KantaiCollection moe anthropomorphisms of World War II naval warships from the Axis powers.]] Due to the complete lack of playable Allied ship girls in that game, and its developers having no plans to add such ship girls until the debut of Iowa in ''Kancolle Kai'', Chinese developer Huanmeng (currently rebranded to moeFantasy) [[StartMyOwn took it upon themselves and released what could ''initially'' be seen as a clone.]] The result? ''[[http://jianniang.com/ Warship Girls]]'' (戰艦少女; Zhan Jian Shao Nyu).

!!WarshipGirls features the following tropes:

* StealthBasedMission: Well... Sort of. E6 of the 2016 winter event is a special mission where one of your ship girls needs to infiltrate an enemy base to extract the special forces team who had been sent in to steal classified documents. The ship girl cannot attack, and must dodge all enemy fire, or she'll be "discovered", which instantly fails the mission. Due to the mechanism of the game, however, dodging is completely [[LuckBasedMission luck based]]. Even with dodge boosting skills and equipment, it can still take dozens of try to finish the mission. Thankfully, the "no attacking" restriction no longer applies on the boss point, and the boss herself is a [[ZeroEffortBoss ridiculously weak]] PaperTiger. On top of that, this mission is completely optional and its reward is [[BraggingRightsReward purely cosmetic]].

* AllThereInTheManual: The official [=WeChat=] account is slowly releasing the backstories of various ship girls. Currently, it's the only source of background information outside the game itself.

** Justified in the case of Javelin and the North Carolina class, whose equipments are stated to be [[ImportedAlienPhlebotinum reverse-engineered technology]].

* ArcherArchetype: The Japanese Carriers are this, just like their Kantai Collection counterparts. Though Ark Royal, a British Carrier, also fits into this as well.

* DerivativeDifferentiation: Completely new mechanics are being introduced over time, to differentiate themselves from KantaiCollection and mitigate some of the [[TheyCopiedItSoItSucks prejudice that many other Chinese-developed games get.]]
