I have been an experienced wot player and also great fan of this game from its very beta. When wow was announced I was excited as I also had in my mind the silent hunter series. I am now participating in the beta game and thought to share my initial impressions. Visuals & Audio: Overall I think the game is quite nice (nice detailed models, sea, weapon effects) but I would like more impressive explosion effects depending on the hit spot and was expecting also some weather effects (fog, rain, storm etc). Audio I think is ok, not bad. Gameplay: I would like the game to be a bit more complex. I know it is not a simulator but at this stage I think its even more simple than wot, although we are talking about huge war machines with possibly many more factors to take into consideration. I would throw into the game shell, fuel consumption, engine overheating, weather conditions, some crew management and etc. I would also even add submarines and anti submarine roles with sonars, depth charges etc. At this stage I feel the game will quickly become dull. Missions: Again at this stage there is actually no variety! If you had submarines, you would have transport raids, transport defends and others. I don't know how much more development is planned for this game (hopefully a lot) but I feel there is a lot missing... Just my 2 cents.

You are right about the physics, I had forgotten it...

Well I just joined the beta as with WOT some years ago, however I remember the WOT basics did not change that much from the beta. I really do hope the game will get more depth.

Actually apart from the different maps and tanks I don't see that much more complexity compared to the beginning in the WOT. Please correct me if wrong, maybe I am missing something. And this is one of the reasons I haven't played WOT in the last six months :-( It's not only about content but also about challenge. I really like the idea of naval battles more than the tanks but I think the basics of the game-play should be put right now and then introduce more content (ships, war theater etc). I got it about submarines, but I really don't agree with the argument about submarines not getting involved in naval battles. After all it's a game and in order to make it better, you can add a bit "unrealistic" content.

So it is not only me who feels the game is quite simple, even more simple than wot?
