Destraex Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 World of warships is entering BETA now. I have a few friends in the BETA. This for me because it is motor boats with guns is not as technical or challenging as the age of sail. However it is very exciting for a lot because it has Aircraft, submarines and planes as well as ww1 ships and ww2 ships. Night battles etc. It sounds as if these two games are almost being developed along a very similar timeline. Anyways just thought I would put it on your radar admins if it was not already. I shunned the world of tanks game because it was NOT a real attempt at a tank warfare portrayal at all. No infantry or any other support apart from artillery. World of ships may be similar. It will probably have no radar directed fire, no firing at realistic ranges with fire control, no proper engine management (ww1 ships blew boilers all the time, dodgy repair kits and times, incorrect fleet composition etc. What it does have going for it is that the modern navy does not need infantry to be portrayed. This game on the other hand has all the makings of being much more realistic and well made. http://worldofwarships.com/game/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it is very exciting for a lot because it has Aircraft, submarines and planes as well as ww1 ships and ww2 ships. Night battles etc. Its in alpha and thus your friends cant be in beta. There are no boats in that game, only ships. It dont have player flyable aircraft or submarines, but it do have ww1 and ww2 ships. And no night battles yet for a looong time into the future.

Privateer Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I suspect this will appeal to a different audience in the long run than WoWS (I am also a WoWS alpha tester, albeit with limited experience). The nuances of combat in the Golden Age and the Second World War differ vastly, to the effect that any comparison really isn't worthwhile. I've seen quite a few from the PotBS crowd around here, which is interesting. Additionally, fancy meeting you here, Eyeless. You may remember me, if by virtue of World of Warwinds.

OTMatt Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I liked the potential the game had but in the end I couldn't stick to it because the devs did not seem to want to take an approach similar to navyfield or with more realism in general. What particularly got to me was they never wanted a simple ocean map. Besides the playerbase was a little on the elitist side with history know-it-alls who tend to shut out any new guys, I hate that. ANYWAY Naval Action will probably be better, 19th century warships seem more suitable for a naval game since it involves a lot of maneuvering and tactics. Last thing we need is a point and click adventure where the victory belongs to the one with the biggest turrets. edit: also no submarines the pain THE PAIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry d'Esterre Darby Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 hehe, it's really two different genres when you get down to it. I see them as complimentary more than competition and I plan to play both for entirely different reasons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subutai Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 WG is such a pos dev... Their attitude towards their community borders on predatory at the worst, non-cooperative at best. Do yourselves a favor and get War Thunder. I was a long-time WoT player. Played WT for ten minutes, that was the end of my relationship with WoT. Recently came back to play WoT casually, somehow I knew I would regret it. My 29.99 USD Super Pershing, which had already long been considered under-powered, had been nerfed for "historical" reasons. WG. Historical. Right. Seriously. Get as far away from WG as you can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BungeeLemming Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 WG is such a pos dev... Their attitude towards their community borders on predatory at the worst, non-cooperative at best. Do yourselves a favor and get War Thunder Shall I correct this with FailJin for you? Cause the same appears to be on their priorities. Bomber-problems, BF 109 nervs for whatever reasons. Spitfires beeing OP as fuck, Yaks performing like UFOs compared to their historical counterparts (not talking about the TU "bomber" (wich can outturn fighters)) I dont say any company is worse. I only say: Both are beeing shit on listening to the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTMatt Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 true warthunder and wargaming said there wont be any subs. Wargaming said theres a possibility for subs but that will be determined after the game is in a finished state. Either way its hard to voice your opinion on the addition of submarines when the fanboys immediately gang up on you in the wows forum. One time the developers even let the idea of subs slip during an interview and that made the fanboys rage to the point that the thread was locked. I imagine its probably the same for the War Thunder forum now, theyre the same group in a different flavor. Its too bad though I'm pretty sure theres a whole submarine community out there that would've loved to play the game just so they can be in a U-boat.

They're two different games, geared towards two different playstyles. There is DEFINITELY room for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligatorswe Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 yes since the demise of Silent Hunter online (that still exists but is not developed further) there is a lack of submarine games on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Danforth Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Good news! We could just have submarines in this game, and give us yet another reason to enjoy it more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_submarines#Early_military_submarines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balck Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Though the allure of sixteen inch guns blazing away is strong, I'd take a man-o-war any day over the, by then obsolete, WW2 battleships. Saw a Victory in action yesterday in a PVP match, just what I expected. Can't wait to see full fleet actions, it's going to be EPIC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hood Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 To me the concept of Naval Action offers a lot more than World of Warships. I imagine that World of Warships shall be a game that I spend the odd hour or so in whereas Naval Action shall see me dedicating my time like PotBS used to many years ago.
