Naval Battles testing will be available for all who purchased Naval packs!
Test features:
- New offshore location “Northern Port”, based on the coastline of Spitsbergen, has been added.
Changes and improvements in game mechanics:
- For vessels with separate armament groups: in the case a player chooses a specific armament group, the rest may still continue fire, including the main calibre weapons.
- Target selection changed for secondary and AA weapons. You may now manually select targets for them.
- If target is selected manually, the target remains selected even if you turn the camera away, rangefinder follows the target and sends range data to the respective weapons. In order to cancel the current selection you should either choose another target or just click designated “select target” button at any empty space.
- To update range data in RB you should use “select target” on this target again.
- View from sights has been improved: vessel model and fume from tubes no longer block the view.
- An option to aim at a point on the surface has been added — it activates with “Targeting at the point" command.
- An option to lock on target in a mode without markers has been added.
- Torpedo markers have been changed.
- When you lock on target in RB you now have lead marker for torpedoes.
- Water visuals have been updated - wave structure is more detailed.
- New modification for vessels has been added - artillery support. Works similar to artillery modification in ground battles.
- Vessel dynamics updated. Vessel performance during maneuvering, acceleration and stopping are more realistic.
List of available vessels:
Germany:
- LS-1
- S-38b
- R-301
- AF D1
USA:
- PT-6
- Higgins PT-71
- SC-497
- PC-451
Known bugs
- AI controlled weapons may sometimes not account for landscape.
- Short range limitations in using artillery support.

Pay to join a pre-beta test server, gotta love the logic behind this whenever I see it.
What do you mean? If you want to try boats first then pay the ticket to get in. If you don't, just wait for the Open-Beta.
pokenaut7, fanboys throwing money on everything.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zbpy_Vgleo4
Why another map with islands? I hope there will be open ocean too...
that sounds incredibly boring
*cod-killer02, not if it was "stormy open ocean", imagine, limited visibility, pouring rain and lightning, 50 foot waves....
so, i bought the pt109 pack a few days ago, and i see the naval mission showing, but dont see any way to select the PT boat, am i doing something wrong?
Can't play your premiums untill the naval stuff is officially out.
Validuz, ah, shouldnt i at least see the other "naval" related stuff, or no

Uhh hey war thunder...? i won the Valantines day competition back then, i came in 8th, and it says i should get access to the naval forces, but i can't seem to take part in it... any help from anyone please?
Try contacting support for that issue and make sure to explain your issue in detail so they can identify and solve the problem as soon as possible. Link to support: https://support.gaijin.net/hc/en-us
CokeSpray, Have done, thank you hopefully they'll be able to solve the issue :D
So, will be the SB? (No markers modes...)
if i buy a naval pack do i keep my research progress? or does all the progress get resetted like tanks did when the closed test became an open test
There's no progress in naval events, you don't research anything since there are no naval trees yet.
YEEESS i bought the russian pack few days ago only to access this , probs 300€ already spent here , BEST game ever (PS , add Finnish forces , PLEASE at least one premium Finnish ship for Germans . I BEG OF YOU )
