Title: World of Warships Screens (Pic Heavy)
Post by: LongBlade on November 29, 2012, 09:58:33 AM
I just got a bunch of World of Warships screenies from the folks who did World of Tanks.

Looking forward to it.

But I keep imagining people ramming each other with their ships and firing point-blank.  :-\

Those maps probably aren't going to have too many over-the-horizon battles. But World of Tanks is awesome if not terribly realistic.

I'm looking forward to seeing how those aircraft carriers work.

The landscape looks like it was inspired by Alaska. I suspect it will be fun poking around those islands and hunting down the other side.

Cant see it being "realistic"  if you'd want a battleship over an aircraft carrier.

I agree. Games should be fun and not necessarily realistic.

I am looking forward to World of Warships. Battleships, aircraft carriers, battlecruisers, cruisers,  and destroyers all play a role. I wonder if they will have submarines in the game as well.

Fun has everything to do with it. But as to what fun is, that is clearly up to the person playing a game to determine for himself or herself. And there is a difference between being a wargamer and a grognard.  ;)

As an aged aunt of mine once told me, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."

OMG!!!  Yamatos are sooooo overpowered!!!
Im interested to see how they fit in a Russian bias with this game they way they have with WoT.
Title: Re: World of Warships Screens (Pic Heavy)
Post by: Staggerwing on November 29, 2012, 08:23:24 PM
One thing occurs to me...
The devs will probably never add the USS Portmanteau since it would unbalance the game and pwn all Yamatos, Iowas, Bismarcks and even Montanas...

I'm hoping someone spots one of those limited beta key giveaways and posts here about it, in time.   

I think I got my World Of Warplanes beta key from MMO.com or some other big site that has regular promos.  I'd imagine they'll do it again, just like they did with WOT and WoWP.

..But what would you guys think about one of these modern match-based games that would contain all three - Air forces, land forces, and naval?  And, no, I'm not talking about the old WW2Online/Battlegrounds.   That would be cool, right?  *wink wink nod nod*

I suddenly have a perverse desire to command a destroyer (which I imagine are this game's equivalent of a light Mech -- i.e., cannon fodder).  :P

Off Topic, great pictures but, thanks for putting (Pic Heavy) in the comments.. In the old days, you had to worry about people connecting with dial up modems... Nowadays you have people who have limited data plans.. so thanks for being considerate.. Was better to wait till I was home and on a higher res monitor anyways!
