World of Warships

[Ruckdog]

So, as I mentioned in my Preditions Thread, 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:

When it comes out, those of use from Manbattlestations, should make a fleet. Well those of us who would play that game.

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 .

Sounds great,

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

They have posted the first iteration of the US battleship line:

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

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.

Definitely! Do you use the same username in WoT as on the forums?

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!

A new developer blog post just went up:

Some interesting discussion, and some assurances that the Open Beta will be starting "soon" .

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.
