****** Official World of Warships Thread ******

The only thing annoying me at the moment, is how useless I am with the omaha cruiser against battleships. Im not fast enough or nimble enough to dodge enough shells, don't have the range. Basically have to avoid a third of the enemy team.

Seems some can play the Warspite, but I'm not keen.
I will be gutted if there isn't a gold reset at the end of the beta, I really don't like it.

When it goes to open beta if you bought Warspite you'll get all of your gold/tokens/doubloons whatever they're calling them back don't worry.

If you bought one of the pre-order packages you'll also get all of the gold from that back as well and any premium time will start again.

I found the Omaha and Phoenix just painful, pick your fights, go for other cruisers and destroyers, go for BBs if you can gang up on them.

Keep going with the US cruisers though as the Cleveland is frankly OP at the moment and once you've skilled up enough to boost your secondary/AA ability you can really help out your team by escorting other ships and shooting down loads of planes.

The Pennsacola is a bit weaker than the Cleveland due to its paper thin armour but I'm up to New Orleans now and finding the 203mm are accurate and pack a decent punch and some of the survivability is back. Can't wait for the Des Moines with its 6 second reload though :D

The only thing I'm playing for at the moment is to get through to the cleveland. The phoenix and omaha are terrible! I can see why most people are going doing the jap route.
 
Well - seen as I was coughing and feeling to crap to play world of tanks I decided to try to play warships - as its a slower paced game IMHO.

Definatly the right move - Didn't lose a single game all weekend, even with the MM being abit strange - though I think they are using 'scout' MM for destroyers as my Sim's got me into a Tier 10 game - 4 Yamatos, 2 Senjo and a Des Moin....... Managed to sink a Yammy :)

Just playing for fun now, running the mod pack from the Forum so the ALT view is the Primary view and vice versa - so much better for gameplay being able to see turret angles and ranging distance to target etc :)
 
I joined over the weekend and have got the Tier2 ships. Still very much learning. Is there an OCUK clan up and running yet? If so, any chance of joining and what voicecoms software are in use? I've been using Skype with WOT.
 
@Mr_Sukebe

Clan functionality isn't in the game yet, don't know of anything organised via the forums here either.

Believe ideally matches are 12v12.

At the moment you'll see varied team sizes for a few reasons, but mainly player numbers and just the fact they're still working on the match making in general. It will try and 'balance' things like one team might have 3 battleships one of which is tier 8, one tier 7 and one tier 6. The other team will then end up with something like 4 battleships three of which are tier 7 and it does this with mixed results to say the least. I expect it will improve with time though.

Phew! I hope your right!
 
What's the view here about the importance of tactics. I know I'm new to the game, but I went through some vid guides and am "reasonably" good at WOT. Can't help but think that their might be less reactive skills required when compared to WOT, but that tactics and interaction with teammates will be actually even more critical.
Thoughts?
 
Mr_Sukebe, Find a Youtuber called iChase - he does great videos at the present all about gameplay of Warships tactics etc, really sueful for the different ship types etc.

Re Clans - Warships will get the unifyied Clan system as well, so you can join the OCUK Clan if you wish or any other clan you want.

Unified accounts apparently according to Tuccy(WG Dev) should be in this year!! Which is epic.

Also the Closed Beta to Open Beta wipe as mentioned before will be you keep all your prem ships, your Prem days will be reset in full, you'll get all your gold back and you 'may' get all your exp back that you have ground out - e.g if you ahve made it all the way to t10 you'll get that back, though this is a maybe currently - they don't want to give us all to much of a head start when they go fully open.
 
No xp will carry over to open beta, it will be a total wipe apart from what you have paid money for. So if you bought gold and then bought Warspite, Atlanta or the other in game store premiums you'll be refunded the gold at the start of open beta and need to spend it again on the ship if you want it again. Pre-order packages will likewise reset to be as if you'd just bought it, you'll have your ships gold and premium time again but nothing else.
 
I watched most of the iChase vids yesterday. VERY useful.
Whilst I believe that it's possible to influence WOT games by platooning, WoWS looks like joining a clan would be a VERY good idea, maybe not for the equivalent of CW, but at least to play as a team. Roll on that option.
 
Is it just me or do the battle times need to be extended - soooo many draws caused by running out of time. Maybe we should just cap more (rather than the kill-all mentality)?

Loving the Cleveland such an AA beast plus it can really spam which is great for DDs.
 
Time needs extending I agree.

I also think the game needs weather and better ocean. It's pretty disappointing when Assasins Creed: Black Flag (last gen 360 title) has better seas than the flat, life-less affair we get in a game dedicated to ocean warefare!
 
I think the most they've said is that they want to do it but it isn't a priority for the initial release game.
