Title: World of Warships
Post by: Ruckdog on January 30, 2015, 06:54:27 pm: So, as I mentioned in my Preditions Thread (http://manbattlestations.com/forum/index.php?topic=758.0), there is a new game coming called World of Warships, which is a WWII era naval combat video game. Suffice to say, I'm very excited about this one! It's release is a ways off, however there are Alpha tests that are going on for select groups of players.

To see what this game is about, I direct you to a video posted by a well-known World of Tanks player named Jingles:

Post by: Ruckdog on January 31, 2015, 11:50:20 am: My thoughts exactly! Presumably there will be a clan system in WoWS that is similar to the one in WoT; if that is the case, I will definitely organize one for MBS. We'll have to start brainstorming on what to name it ;).

I'll defiantly get into this one. Star Trek Online gets a bit repetative.

Interesting picks. I wonder if the South Dakota class will wind up being a premium ship?

Post by: DarkKnight on March 15, 2015, 12:41:21 pm: I applied as well. If any of you play world of tanks you should add me to friends as I am always up for platoons.

Post by: Ruckdog on March 19, 2015, 07:29:06 am: Admiral Jingles has another video posted. This one is a good one to watch, as it gives a good feel for how the game is set up and what it is like to sit down and start playing. It gives a good impression of the WoWs "experience," in other words!

Post by: Ruckdog on March 27, 2015, 09:58:49 pm: A new developer blog post just went up:

Some interesting discussion, and some assurances that the Open Beta will be starting "soon" :).
Title: Re: World of Warships
Post by: Ulric the Grey on April 17, 2015, 05:48:42 pm: so recently they just released the deal, that if you preorder any of the preminium ships, you get in the Closed Beta. So I got a Ship and will let you know what I find out about it as I play it.

Post by: Ruckdog on April 18, 2015, 09:00:31 am: Awesome! I missed that development as I haven't had a chance to play for about a week due to Real Life :(.

Post by: Ulric the Grey on April 21, 2015, 10:16:25 am: Sims destoryer, I am going the american route at the moment. Though I will say that damned kitakami needs a nurff. Shit the other day 3 kitakamis and 60 torps in a narrow inlet later, avoided over 40 of them in the sims only to hit one and die.
