Strategy or FPS?

[RJ1601]

I play world of tanks and world of warplanes but I'm really excited about this game. The website isn't very clear whether this is a strategy game where each player controls a fleet or an FPS game like the other two games. Anybody know?

It will be style just like WOWP and WOT where you control ONE ship. And if your are an Aircraft carrier, you control several squadrons of planes. 

 

And for future reference, you can look at the dev blog: http://blog.worldofwarships.com/

Or the fan-made wiki, it contains all known information on WOWS. It will basically answer all of your questions. Since the game is still in alpha the main website is very minimalistic and wont contain much info on the actual game.

You will be controlling a singular ship...but will not be in the first person mode

Welcome to ze forums!

 

You will be playing as a single ship (Carrier, Destroyer, etc.) and will be playing from a third person view.

Exactly! so its neither strategy or FPS (Although stragerty may be used in clan battles with teams)

Both I would think... got the tactical map to plot where you want to go/send your little evil minions from your aircraft carrier.. if on a gun based ship, you can zoom in to "sniper view" which lets you fine adjust your weapons to shoot at someone..

 

more of a Strategy/ 1st-3rd person based game.

Indeed...that is partially correct as WoWs is aiming for a RTS-like gameplay for carriers.

I'm curious to see how the mix works out.

Its 3rd person, with options to go 1st or rts view depending on the vessel in question.... Or at least that's how I think it would work based on how world of tanks worked. I'm also betting some ships will have the option to preform both.
