Term: support

Many players ask for support from other players.
Support means to help your team mate against the closest
threat/enemy. For example a support is not if one help to win a
battle, is not.
Support is also not if one kills an enemy that is far and
doesn't have any impact into the close by duel.
If a DD spots enemies and your CRs/BBs shoot the spotted enemy
then that is not a support.
2 best examples for support:
1. DD sets a smoke for a cruiser who has low HP and is spotted
and under fire.
2. BB shoot enemy DD who is in a duel against an alley DD.
In game there is also a button to Request help/support. That
means that the reuqester asks others to help him in the coming
duel. There is also a button to say which spotted enemy should
be attacked in next priority by your team mates and when they
shoot the spotted enemy then that is not a support but is a
prioritized focus fire.
Wows community has not capabilities to define that and other
terms.

Support and help are synonyms, more or less.
About AA support.
For example you provide AA fire to close by subs and Dds. Not a
Cv does it, but other ship types. Aa help is most import for
Subs, then DDs, other ships don't usually need Aa support and
specially from CVs. Such AA support helps advanced/important
ship types to survive longer. Usually ships try to stay close by
to provide such AA defence. A general rule is that teams don't
split, or at least stay close by. The worst is if a ship goes
alone far away from others. The 2nd worst scenario is if team
splits and only 2-3 go to 1 area.
Obviously other types of actions help too. The most important
help is in the beginning of battles where Dds and Subs have
arried to the main event area. Then all other ships aim there
and try to shoot enemy duelling DDs. That helps alley DDs to win
the duel. Also using any radar there if possible supports the DD
duel. That is the most important support moment in the beginning
of the battle.
Later Subs and Dds spot tirps in front of primitive ships.
Main suggestion: primitives follow advanced types.

The community likes to press Thank You button a lot beside Fair
Winds button, but the 3rd Top choice is the Wilco button.
If you request someone's support they surely gladly press the
Wilco button but do no support as usual.
Support is possible if one has aiming skills, but in Randoms
ships don't have it. Second requirement is focus fire, where the
primitive ships all together understand which is the most high
priority target and shoot it all quickly together, in Randoms
that is missing as well but in Rankeds it is fine. That makes
the concept of Support illusionary in Randoms.
