Some of you all might be interested in the Beta of the new WG shooter.

Thanks but I know my cup of tea, and somehow that does not look like my cup of tea. 🍵

Interesting switch of game genres for WG. This is definitely not up my alley. Now I know why we can’t get meaningful  additions/updates to the game.

I think that they are a bit late to the Hero Shooter genre.

Still - might work for them.

Being PVP I'm not interested either way.

Looks a bit like Mechwarrior, which i like, but why play this when Mechwarrior exists and has a single player campaign, which i prefer to be honest.

Yeah. I much prefer the style of ugly slabs of metal in Battletech to this anime stuff.

It is just a knock-off of games from over the past twenty years.

WG hoping to milk a different group of players. ...

I don t think too many...

 

Of all WG's games, the WoWships used to be the most realistic one, until they introduced repair/rebuild for planes on the deck of the carriers and all that sub shit.

 

You can see here, around minute 1:30, how they used to repair damaged planes (enjoy the footage):

I wonder what game engine they will be using? They will not be using Havok or BigWorld engines. I found out it's the Unreal5 Engine.

However, there will be ways to pay to accelerate progression (essentially time-savers).

Wargaming will never change.

Could WoWS be redesigned on the Unreal5 Engine? Interesting idea. Maybe WoWS will be heading that direction too in the future?

There's a topic that beat you to the figurative punch.
