Why World of Warships can trigger motion sickness

Wikipedia calls the game slow-paced. Carrier play adds aircraft camera views that follow fast planes, and most maps have static or dynamic weather. The Field of view slider sets the viewing angle, and Camera height raises the camera and moves it away from the ship. Steam flags Camera Comfort as an accessibility feature but does not say which options that covers.

  • Camera swings when you turn the ship or aim the guns
  • Aircraft camera views on carriers, which follow fast planes
  • Dynamic weather on some maps, which changes the look of the sea and sky

Comfort settings in World of Warships

World of Warships ships some comfort settings, but not a full set.

Wargaming's notes do not give the Field of view range or name every option in the HUD and camera section. The sources opened list no camera shake or motion blur option.

SettingWhereRecommendation
Field of viewSettingsChange it a few steps at a time and test a short battle. Wargaming's wiki says a value of 50 matches the view from before Update 0.11.7.
Camera heightSettingsTry raising it so the camera sits higher and farther from the ship, and keep the height that feels calmer.
HUD and camera parametersSettingsOpen the section that combines HUD and camera parameters and review each camera option. Test a short battle after each change.

One guide explains these settings for every game: how field of view, motion blur, head bob and camera shake trigger motion sickness.

What helps beyond the settings

  • Set Field of view and Camera height in Settings before a long session.
  • Take a break between battles and stop at the first queasy signal.
  • Look at a still point far away when queasiness starts.
