5,143 [ARS] Helstrem Beta Testers 8,611 posts 10,411 battles Report post #1 Posted April 19, 2021 I would like to see real waves modeled visually, with the ships pitching and yawing with the waves. This would only be cosmetic and all guns would maintain targeting with no variation just as they do now, casemate secondaries would still fire regardless of the sea state. If an indie game like Valheim can have real waves then WoWS can too. Sailing on a perfectly flat, textured plane doesn't feel right. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if the ship is not rising and falling on its centerpoint, the pitch and yaw may affect shell impacts (if the bow dips down and you aimed at the bow you'll miss a shot you otherwise would not have) and that may sour people on this idea. Me? I'm all for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

9,545 [GWG] BrushWolf [GWG] Alpha Tester 29,407 posts 15,834 battles Report post #5 Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) This would require more sea action and animating the ships far more than the leaning during turns that we have now. This would push the minimum system requirement to far too high a level. Edited April 20, 2021 by BrushWolf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is so far down the list of priorities that it doesn't bear thinking upon. There are so many other things that are more worthy of WG's time and effort, such as more maps (and much more original and interesting ones at that). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, it doesn't. I have a seven year old PC that runs the game at max detail at 1440p with no frame rate issues. Only the video card is newer than that and that is a first gen nVidia 1070. 15 hours ago, BrushWolf said: This would require more sea action and animating the ships far more than the leaning during turns that we have now. This would push the minimum system requirement to far too high a level. The waves would take a bit more processing. The ships are already on screen and would take no more processing than they do now. Rendering is rendering. If angle mattered then rotating your view point around your ship would produce the same kind of impact on frame rate as the ship pitching.
