Two Brothers: Rush Mid note Thanks in no small part to all the YouTube videos where people successfully rush down the center strait between the twin mountains and kick ass.This doesn't always mean a single salvo, or a single ship, and often refers to being focus fired and quickly killed by a large amount of the enemy team. Getting sunk quickly is "getting deleted".Getting citadeled as a result of obliviously driving in a straight line broadside on to an enemy battleship? "That's a Paddling." Popularized by The Mighty Jingles on YouTube, himself quoting The Simpsons.It's most often used in terms of "blapping" an enemy player with a salvo of yours, or getting "blapped" by an enemy. Taking a huge amount of damage from a single salvo (often but not always involving multiple citadel hits) is called "getting blapped".The common nickname is simply shortening Citadel to "Cit", and being hit there is "getting cit'd". Cruisers, Battleships & Aircraft Carriers have very vulnerable areas called "Citadels", that are usually underwater and behind a lot of armour, making it very hard to actually hit, but if hit, you get massive damage against you.
Many of these nicknames come from nicknames for the nicknames of the historical ships the in-game ones were based on.Some specific ships also have their own nickname, and a LOT of them derive theirs from other ship-based games like KanColle and Azur Lane.The latter actually follows the tradition of food-based Theme Nicknaming of the Wargaming.Net MMOs - Minsk-developed World of Tanks shares its nickname of "Potato", a stereotypically Belarussian food, with the company itself, while World of Warplanes, developed in Kiev, is nicknamed "salo-fliers" note Salolety=salo+samolety(airplanes), after the equally stereotypically Ukrainian salo.("Shlupki", or "Lifeboats") note Often with the ironicaly dismissive modifier " those yours"., which it actually shares with KanColle, and "Корюшка" ("Koryuska" or "Smelt"), due to it being developed by a Saint-Petersburg studio, as the city is famous for its seasonal gluts of smelt in Neva river. In the Russian fandom the game has already acquired two main nicknames: "Шлюпки" note Most often is derogatory, because it sounds very similar to "Шлюхи", "Sluts".While not as saturated as its elder stablemate, World of Warships has certainly been developing its own.
