Ocean current, Wind, Waves?

[RappyFX]

Will there be ocean currents and waves in the game?

If so, can you use these as an advantage to get to a place quicker?

Will these currents carry your ship around when stationary in the game?

 

 

And about wind. If there will be wind.

Will the flight path of the shells be affected by wind?

 

Sorry if I have asked a question already answered, I'm new on this forum.

Here's a link to the FAQ http://forum.worldof...?/topic/76-faq/ maybe it can answer some of your questions.

I've already checked the FAQ before I posted this.

The FAQ did not mention shells vs wind (shells changing course overtime due to wind)

And ocean currents.

No currents, no wind, no waves (it means waves doesn't impact to ship behaviour).

As far as i know, the devs will take a look at "proper" waves after release, but they already stated that it'll be nothing more than eyecandy and wont influence the way your ship performs. I believe they also said that currents will not be included. Wind (or any other weather effect) will possibly be added later, but will -most likely- only influence visual range (beside being eyecandy).

 

And welcome to these forums btw! :Smile_smile:

Yea, from what i gathered from the faq there will be no environmental influences on your ship, at least at launch.

Hopefully, and KGB has said that its possible, they will eventually add in sea state where waves would impact ship maneuverability, speed, and accuracy.  Also i would kill to see night battles.

I read somewhere devs said the firecontrols of the ships are good enough To compensate for weather, wind and waves.

Yeah I believe a dev said that.

A suggestion

 

Give some maps ocean "currents" or "tides"

 

Unfortunately we will probably never see currents.  A moments reflection will show that they only come into play where some sections of the map have a different current than another, e.g. near land masses.
