Hi! Small modification for that testing session : The possibility of obtaining random fighter / bomber will appear in the next session of Naval battle testing. (not this one, as initially planned)
Question: will any of these naval maps be available for air battles too?
loner_ru, I hope so, but I doubt it. Since none of the air maps that would be good for ships have been adapted for such.
why do not use normal Norway map from the air section? I consider, this is best option for naval battles. there are many possibilities, many AI ships and real naval battle
Just in time! I'm buying a naval pack today :)
sale is tomorrow
hal0ROCKZ, Naval packs aren't affected by sales.
No New Ships Like Fubuki?
so its been a year since we started these little periodic tests will we ever get to play our pre order pack boats in any of these tests?
That's why I'm glad I never bought a naval pack.
gaijin thank you for this beautiful end of the year gift
Enjoy!
Stona_WT, hey buddy, thanks for all the dev blogs and announcements. i wanna know if this the final testing before beta?
Amazing! Bought a naval pack the other day and very excited to test it out, thanks for the discounts!
Godamn it gaijin u messed up! Why havent u added the japanese AA destroyer the Akizuki made to destroy planes? I mean seriosly how hard is it to ignore the british navy and focus on the anime empire? Ur entire community is just a holy hell amount of weebs.
Those who applied to the testing when will can join in the beta?
Pre-Beta* Aka Alpha.
You mean applied by form on website? Players who applied are invited to test from time to time afaik.
Is the game still going to be limited to small boats, or will we see battleships?
it has Destroyers
Cruisers are planned but no news on battleships yet
