World of Warships — How do reward links actually work here?

Curious how everyone else approaches this, because my way feels clumsy. I assumed it was a known issue, but I cannot find anyone else describing it.

Thanks in advance to anyone who chips in.

This is the bit people miss — ignore the loudest advice; the boring answer is usually the correct one here.

Quick correction to the above: keep a note of what you changed, otherwise you cannot undo it cleanly later.

Had the exact same issue. that behaviour is intentional, even though it is poorly explained in-game.

In my testing, you get most of the benefit from the first adjustment; everything after that is marginal.

From experience, it is almost always a setting rather than hardware, so try the free fixes before spending anything.

The usual fix here is you get most of the benefit from the first adjustment; everything after that is marginal.

This is the bit people miss — the trick is to change one thing at a time and actually note the result before touching anything else.

Depends on your setup, but broadly verify the files before anything else; it catches more problems than people expect.

The usual fix here is if it only happens in one mode, that narrows it down considerably.

Speaking as someone who got it wrong initially, do not copy someone else’s config wholesale — start from defaults and adjust to your own setup.

Others may have a cleaner method.

In my testing, the community guide covers this better than I can, but the summary is to prioritise the basics first.

Report back once you have tried it.
