It's got decent mechanics and is rather more-ish, but the lack of meaningful team play does limit the long term appeal. NOOB SCATTER RUSH remains the theme even on maps and modes where camping and clumping would be a guaranteed win.

Also, the matchmaker will put you in with ships up to two tiers higher, and the grind starts to kick in in earnest at tier VI where the differences also become more pronounced.

Great if you're a DD VI preying on lumbering BB IVs, but if you find yourself as the tier VI bitch in a match with mostly VIIIs there are limited options for contributing.

DDs can scout and run, (some) CAs can hang back offer AA to capital ships, but outmatched BBs quickly get monstered by higher tier BBs, burned to the waterline by dodgy CAs or go down in a swarm of torpedoes from invisible DD VIIIs with their goddamn cloaking devices.

If you're going to play it on a free account I'd suggest going down either DD or perhaps CV line (although I didn't try CVs). Whatever you do, get used to making oblique attacks, don't hold a parallel course or sadness will rain down on you.

Whats the damage model like? Hitpoints for the ship? Or individual systems that get damaged and destroyed?

I'll be happy when War Thunder matures into an integrated Land/Sea/Air battle game.

I just started playing Steel Ocean. I didn't realise World of Warships had been released! Downloading it now to see how the two compare.

Both. Sinking happens by a simple damage counter, but systems can be knocked out temporarily or permanently, ships can catch fire from HE shells, flood from torpedoes, or take critical hits from citadel penetrations.

It's a pretty decent model that results in satisfaction for the shooter without generally ruining things for the target. The 4 ship types offer distinct and rewarding play styles. CVs skulk at the back or hide behind islands and fly CAP, dive and torpedo bombers; DDs scout, snipe, screen or run rings around BBs; BBs wreck each other or incautious CAs at long range; CL/CAs hunt DDs, harass BBs and provide AA cover.

The rock-paper-scissors balance between the shooty types works well. BB > CL/CA > DD > BB.

I do like the game, it just gets a bit frustrating being repeatedly thrown into random battles with random players who scatter, rush and die alone regardless of anything that you say or do. It's not a complicated game. Concentration of force and fire allows you to defeat the enemy piecemeal. There are strategic areas to capture and it's fun to nip in and bag them with a DD, but losing ships while capturing doesn't pan out in the long run.

Then again when you do find yourself with players who read, form a nicely screened battle group, and nom-nom-nom through the other lot, it can be very satisfying.

I might fire it up again and see if anything has improved.

I totally did not choke up when that scene aired.

When they get around to doing World of Starships all be over it like a mynock chewing on the power cables.

Hmm, I played World of Tanks for the first time about 6 months ago and it bored the life out of me. I can see why people like it but it's not for me.

Sorry for really late reply Very Happy

Bottom left, the wee orange speach bubble with 3 dots, click on that and then the + Add Player and then add name, right click on the name and add player to contact or just message them if they are online.

I might give it a try again if/when they add some sort of fleet functionality. Still way too many Ensign McNoobrushers even up at T7/8.

As with many F2P games, I stopped playing just because of the grind, when you hit T8 battleships, you have to play lower tiers just to cover the maintenance and repair bills for like 3 hours, and that it runs shit one wine.
