Checking in to see if there is any news on WOWS?

[Marek Tucan]

Soon™

[RETAC21]

Not Soon enough!!

[Edmund]

Well my post wasn't meant to be a complaint. I just was checking to keep up to date and the thread active for its future use. I am trying to show Tuccy my interest without pissing him off, so I maybe get invited to the Alpha or beta testing. If they start it around December 15th I will be off from work around then for over 2 weeks. So I can dedicate time to testing. I realize I am not a great game player but to cover that I counting on pity.

[Marek Tucan]

You'd be trying to get to NA server, right? (well, have few contacts there when the time comes)

 

Anyway, Soon™ was a tongue in cheek, I know a LOT of people who want to get in ionce it starts... And it was one of the most frequent questions at recent community event

Yes Tuccy NA server. Thanks. Seriously if there are decent players to fill all slots then I will understand. I know there are guys who do this all the time so expect them to be part of it. I want WOWS to be good.

WoWS has 'caught up' substantially with WoWP. WoWP will still be out the gate several months earlier, but we're about in the alpha stage with WoWS, doing office play tests.

 

The rock-paper-scissors circle is DD, CA, BB, with carriers performing something of a wildcard role.

So they have DD, CA, and BB's. I knew they would. What about Escorts, Heavy cruisers and battle cruisers? Got to have HMS Hood.

So, BB > CA, CA > DD, DD > BB ? (I assume DDs have speed and torpedo salvos to trump BBs )

No light cruisers?

For some reason I really want to command an Alaska class heavy cruiser/battlecruiser.

They sound good on paper. Did they ever fight anything?

I was playing WoWP this morning and I had a thought while flying on the "Pacific" map. I suspect that it is very similar to what a map in WS will look like, lots of places for carriers to hide behind while they launch air strikes and also routes for destroyers to sneak into torpedo range. I don't know how the size will work out though, hopefully bigger than a WoWP map. https://maptactic-production.s3.amazonaws.com/packs/maps/1118/map_39229d22b2c6daf426ffcb421b44b165e26dc207.jpg

Invisitanks in WoT are bad enough

 

yes I will be weary worried the Russian paper battleship will be superior to everything... and invisibly...

Thanks. Looks cool. Needs to bigger I think.

If they do it right all the enemy ships will be invisable until spotted. That way my BB can sneak* up on the CA's and pound them.

Just checking in on WOWS. Anymore news?

 

I want everyone to note how long I waited before I posted again.

[Marek Tucan]

Unfotunately no news so far. Stay tuned. In the meantime, there are nice things on the Dev blog

[Colin]

How big can a map be for a naval battle to be decided in 15minutes?

[Skywalkre]

Everything released so far makes it sound like they'll be giving us the WoT treatment: drastically reduced engagement ranges coupled with maps that limit where we can move and funnel us into a small number of kill zones.

 

That coupled with the rock-papers-scissors nature of the gameplay mentioned earlier has me a little more hesitant about this title.

[RETAC21]

I remain hopeful, we will see how it works out.

Man, this is how WOWSh should play out (and yes, I'm including the girls):

 

[Edmund]

Ok. The anime girls are cute, but I didn't understand the balloon like things with their faces. I really don't understand why the girls have a ship strapped to them. Otherwise, sure women and ships.
