“North sea” is a location for naval battles. This location was inspired by the landscape of the Frisian Islands and the Jade Bight. The battle will take place amongst the rocks and smaller islands in the bay that is covered from 3 sides, light motor boats may perform fast attack maneuvers and then hide behind the rocks for protection whilst destroyers join the battle from the open sea. Aircraft will be able to reach the epicentral area relatively safely, but then they do need to take heed of the numerous AA-guns of any combat vessels.
We hope that you will enjoy this new location, see you on the battlefield during pre-beta closed tests!
From 17:00 GMT on the 24th of November, till 05:00 GMT on the 27th of November,Naval battle testing for all who purchased Naval packs!

So, when are the open Beta's coming Gaijin
ARE YOU FUCKING RETARDED?! THIS ISN'T EVEN CLOSED BETA, IT"S PRE BETA. What the fuck is wrong with you inbred little cunts who don't understand this?
Dear Gaijin where are the French ships?
Does anyone know when Naval Forces will be in Open Beta?
yay, i just got one question for ya... how is those tech trees tho?
And, is this still pre-beta?
Stinky_Ester, Of course it's still pre beta you inbred shitstain, they would have announced when it hit actual beta. What the absolute fuck is wrong with you cunt sucking assholes?
Plans for a map including ground forces? A mode where naval and air forces support ground attempts to cap would be fun, provided naval forces don't get any bigger. (No heavy cruisers shelling Maus from 10 miles away please)
