A comment on My Journey to Finally Ditching Windows for Good.

I've almost switched over to Linux full time too (also using Arch like TFA). The one thing keeping my Windows partition around now is World of Warships, everything else I play runs pretty much flawlessly either natively or via proton. It's amazing having actual choice and configuration for my dev workflow again.

Good news : World of warship works (almost) flawlessly on proton (Valve own Wine version): https://www.protondb.com/app/552990

Nothing garantees that an update won't break the compatibility though.

If that is the only reason, you can boot your Windows off a USB drive for playing your game. https://www.easyuefi.com/wintousb/

This appears to be a Windows executable. How to do this without an existing Windows installation.

You probably can't, although perhaps it would work through wine?
