NO PT Boats, this is about ships.

Just US and Japan at launch.

Hi and welcome to the WoWS forums, can i urge you to read the forums first before making a topic?

 

The game is set in the era of Naval artillery, there will be no missiles in game. The starting US teir 1 will be the Eire large Gunboat for example, There will be no PT's in game, only Destroyers, Cruisers, Battleships, Aircraft carriers and all their variations.

• 1-10 like in WoWP and WoT

• Subs will not be in game basically because if you wished to add them you are going to have to buff them to the point that they no longer resemble subs of the time. refer to this official topic http://forum.worldof...being-left-out/ And no there will not be a big gap without them, there are many ships to add that will fit in the above slots.

• Sometimes yes, the Kongo class for example. But upgrading tiers will work like in WoT

• Us and Japan on release as said by madogthefirst, with the British been the first to be added after release, then expect Russia, Germany, France, Italy ect.

Some if classed as destroyer escorts in early teirs, but this game is about big ships. Frigates will struggle to find a fun place in game, as their armament was not really designed for large surface engagments.

No too small

[triptyx]

No PT Boats.

No Missile Cruisers....heck, no Missiles.

No Subs.

 

Period, stop, end of line.  :)

[Snakehead1234]

Maybe some day Wg will make a game about smaller surface ships​(probably not). But if they did it include all the smaller ships people want such as destroyer escorts, Frigates, Corvettes, Sloops, motor torpedo boats, escort carriers and god forbid submarines  :Smile_sceptic: . This game would mostly be centered around convoy battles and hunter killer groups with wolf packs of submarines attacking the surface units. Game play would be unique as you would have one team of mostly subs and the other team of surface ships escorting a convoy or hunter killer group.

2 why are subs not going to be in the game there a big gap

Because subs have ruined every game they've ever been in.

...unless the game was built around the subs.

Silent hunter shows otherwise  :Smile_trollface:

So silent hunter 3-4 was ruined because they had subs in them? But what should I know I play surface ships on those games with mods. :Smile_playing:

I wasn't counting Silent Hunter because Silent Hunter is a submarine game with surface ship NPCs. They weren't games that incorporated submarines, they were submarine games.


And even in those submarine games, on all but the hardest/most realistic settings, massive concessions are made to the submarines to make them playable..

Silent hunter 2 multplayer was combined with Destroyer command multiplayer that went well by most reviews, so there we have a surface ship game that incorporated submarines.

[MM2ss]

I played many of the silent hunter games, and found them...disappointing.  I rate the series as sub-par as far as simulation value goes.  Not a bad time waster however, much better than writing and routing training plans.

[xS_DEADLY_Sx]

Now now children, we already have a topic for this subs bickering. And yeah, they won't be in the game because the devs want it to be that way

[MM2ss]

As it should be, if anyone wants a good submarine game, then all they need to do is talk to the local recruiter.

[gruller65]

look at the battlestations sirease the perfectly ballenced every ship and got great scores on it will wos resemble those games?

[ramp4ge]

I actually expect WoWS to play a lot like Battlestations Pacific, but with more attention giving to accurate ranging and the likes. The one beef I had with Battlestations Pacific was that engagements happened at stupidly close ranges.

 

Of course there were mods for that..

1) 1-10
2) There is a sub thread, but mainly because they would be OP and underpowered.
3) It would be similar to WoT if that's what your asking. If your asking about specific ships look at the FAQ/Q&A. Ships would have better/more defenses/attacks I am assuming but it all depends what ships are what tiers.
4) US and Japanese should be the first two nations in the game if my memory is correct, again look in the FAQ/Q&A for that kind of information.


Just realized Crag_r already posted, rookie mistake but its still info.
And welcome to the forums!  :Smile_teethhappy:

There really should be a post count req for starting a thread.
