Jack_Sparrow123 Players 155 posts 18,061 battles Report post #1 Posted March 8, 2018 Allies vs. axis, like in WWI WWII, I`m not sure if it would be balanced, but could be historically interesting... Just like Random 12 vs.12 u pick your ship and fight for your side. Hope I divided it correct. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[CAIN] Jethro_Grey Players 5,207 posts 25,733 battles Report post #2 Posted March 8, 2018 Would be certainly interesting, if a bit unbalanced tho. I doubt however that WG will do something like that, considering they tried in WoT and failed*. *maybe due to the fact that they went full 'historical' in that mode and created unbalanced game mode where one side had a clear advantage over the other. What i'd like to see are two modes, split into pacific and atlantic theaters, and place the nations available in WoWS accordingly. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[NIKE] Xevious_Red Beta Tester 3,412 posts 7,888 battles Report post #4 Posted March 8, 2018 One side gets radar, all the AA and smoke cruisers. The other side..... doesn't. As comedy as shimas vs gearings and des moines is, I doubt it would be particularly balanced 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[IRN] Krikkio82 Players 528 posts 13,887 battles Report post #7 Posted March 8, 2018 Would be cool but, not balanced at all. When I first logged in during open BETA I was especting this kind of gameplay and was really surprise to see IJN mixed with USN.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[VAR] Ulvesnutepostei Players 636 posts 8,871 battles Report post #8 Posted March 8, 2018 Operations is genious for these kinds of events ... if this will ever happen I think special scenarios like Dunqirk and similar in operations with players on both sides is most likely Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deBanfield Players 80 posts 3,420 battles Report post #9 Posted March 8, 2018 The WoW crew would, I am sure put the scenarios together with a choice of ships where a balanced game was possible. E.g., no radar in the game. How could it be not balanced? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vaderan Alpha Tester 1,103 posts 2,741 battles Report post #10 Posted March 8, 2018 France could be placed on both sides aswell. After all, the french navy managed to get shot by both factions during the events and developement of WWII. Richelieu, for example, fired her first salvoes against an US BB, before joining allied forces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just like Random 12 vs.12 u pick your ship and fight for your side. Hope I divided it correct. I could see some special temporary game modes where you pick from a list of ships roughly following this divide, but the game was simply not designed with this in mind. Especially on high tiers - can you imagine 12v12 Random where - by design - one side has Radar ships and the other does not? It MIGHT be possible to create somewhat balanced conflict sides from the existing lines - but that wouldn't be the WW2 set-up but some strange alternate history where, say, Germany and Russia uphold their single-purpose "let's divide the Poland" alliance indefinitely, making it a "let's divide the world" one where they actually present a unified front through the world. Then, yeah, perhaps things might work. But as long as not only both "standard" Radar nations (USSR and USA) are on the same side but even the only other Radar-capable nation (Brits) ends up in the bag with them? There's just no way in hell to balance this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[P0RT] Admiral_H_Nelson Players 3,938 posts 23,206 battles Report post #21 Posted March 8, 2018 I'm sure that we'll get some historical scenarios once all the trees of all the major fleets are complete. (Probably as Operations) e.g. - Re-enactment of the Soviet Fleet defeating the Japanese at the Battle of Midway - Soviet Fleet clearing the seas of KM surface raiders in the Battle of the Atlantic - Soviet Fleet defeating attempts by the Italian Fleet to stop the convoys to Malta 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But who cares about those small details. Everyone knows glorious Soviet navy defeated both British and Germanz at Jutland. They were so good that they managed to achieve although they didn't even exist at the time. Same goes for pearl harbor. Haven't you seen the movie? One of the murican sailors clearly recognised that the planes have red Soviet designations and were launched from one of the Soviet carriers. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
