For War Thunder fans, the day has come, sorta. While the Air Forces segment of the game has been going on strong, the Ground Forces portion has been met with and discussed with mixed results (depending on who you talk to and where you look). Now, they have moved into the third element of warfare, the seas.
However, there is a slight twist. Unlike World of Warships, the Naval Forces of War Thunder hasn't been launched, yet. Discussed for a very long time and the odd screenshot from various stages of testing and development, this third combat component hasn't made real waves, until now.
This April Fools special appears to be a soft launch of the missing ingredient from the War Thunder universe. Although the vessels are of a very different time, the concept of what is being done here can be seen quite clearly.
I was rather impressed with how the environment was rendered, the ship bobbing on the waves and some old salty dog giving a running commentary of what was going on, really created the mood to match the times expressed.
The sound of the canons, the splintering of wood and general crashing of my own ship around me, was an experience to be had and enjoyed.
I played a few high seas adventures in this limited time game mode and captured one of those battles here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5vYkjSg3CA Perhaps, I might fiddle with the video capture settings and post another engagement with much better quality, later.
