Ship Database Update: compare tool & 6-slot equipment
First proper WOWSB blog post. I updated the Tier 10 ship database on the site, and the biggest new thing is that ships now have real equipment slots that change their stats.
What's new in the compare tool
- Pick two ships and compare them side by side across their stat groups.
- Each compared ship gets its own equipment bar on top, with the ship's name above it so you always know which bar is whose.
- Equipment is class-aware: Destroyer-only modules only show on a destroyer. If you compare a destroyer with a cruiser, each one only sees the modules it can actually equip, and each updates its own numbers.
- The stat view now lists groups in a normal order (maneuver, survivability, guns, torpedo, AA, concealment) instead of the raw data order.
The 6-slot equipment system
- Every ship has six equipment slots shown as six boxes on top of the stats.
- Slot 1 is empty right now (saving it for future gear).
- Slot 2 holds the Destroyer + general modules (Greased Bearings, torpedo propulsion, propulsion control, velocity, hydraulic turret drive, reinforced mounts, and more).
- Slots 3 and 5 hold the proximity fuse and AA director line; slots 4 and 6 hold the heavy AA and close-range defense line.
- Clicking a slot opens a dropdown with only that slot's gear. Picking one changes the stat live and colours it (green-ish buff / red-ish debuff), and clearing reverts it.
- You can only use one version of a family per ship, so you can't slot both a module and its "+" variant.
Notes
- Equipment icons aren't in yet. Each slot and dropdown row shows a "/" till I have real images.
- WG exports don't include every stat some modules touch (deceleration, survivability, some traverse speeds). Those rows will read "not available" for now.
- I mainly rounded out Destroyer + anti-air gear first. Battleship and cruiser specific lines and more modules are coming as I add the values.
Try it on the Ship Database page: open a ship, load a couple of the six slots, and watch its AA, speed or concealment change live. If something looks off on your screen, tell me and I'll fix it.
