World of Warships: Das Boot — submarines will launch in 2019

Wargaming is about to introduce submarines in World of Warships, the multiplayer World War II naval ship shooter that has more than 1.5 million monthly active players. The developers will also redo aircraft carriers in a way that makes planes and ship combat more accessible to players, according to a briefing by Alexander Nikolaev, publishing director for North America for World of Warships.

The changes represent a lot of risk for Wargaming when it comes to the reaction from the 28 million players who have registered since 2015. More than 300 developers in Austin, Texas, and elsewhere are working on the updates. World of Warships players will get a taste of submarine combat with a Halloween update that includes the fanciful Nautilus submarine from Captain Nemo and Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

Oh yeah boi!
That might get me back into this game. Interested in how they want to balance it out.

Sweet mother of god, this must be the April fool's joke!?! Wait, it's not April? So Neal, I trust you were in the front row, asking questions, unless you don't do Austin? So, assuming this is true, starting timer now on the first submarine nerf. If you listen closely, you can hear the BB players whining now. As much as I love/hate WoWs, hopefully subs will break up the upper tier games of the @#$^%^%$^&*^&*#&#$^%$%^&^#%ing campling cruisers and BBs. Any match above tier VII should be called "World of Camping ships."

They finally caved in huh? Gaijin was mulling over it for WT too, but god knows whats happened to naval forces in that game.

Curious how they will model the ocean floor (if they do), in regards to the plethora of islands this game has. If anything, if this breaks up those radar spamming, island humping campers....I mean cruisers that camp behind islands (in the upper tier games), it will be a welcome change.


Oh to be a game tester for this and have some real input on what happens. I do shudder at what they will have for upper tier subs?

They did finally cave in and hope it leads to all the different classes...so I expect to see more of you in the WoW forums as well as here. I use C_D for my user name in WoW North American server, I did not want to be Iceman598771123547411 lol

Actually I know they could use input/guidance, and real life experience that is found here in great supply and support from the submarine community such as Subsim.

this will all be just another Wargamming F up.........trying to balance this game out and getting rid of this camping epidemic will prove to be out of reach for the minds at wargaming.

I founded the clan called Canuk on WoWS's.

oh and to Iceman, look us up please and apply if you wish.............and others.
