46) World of Warships

2013 Cinematic Trailer shows us what serious naval battles can be like.

This team based shooter, from the same developers as World of Tanks(who saw that one coming?) pits teams of players against each other in naval battles. Players can pick from among several navies including America, England, and Poland(no, seriously this time, who saw that coming?).  Each faction has different types of boats fitting into the standard team-game roles of tank, support, damage, all that.

Gameplay is slightly slower than in World of Tanks, although I guess that’s to be expected; warships aren’t exactly fast, and the game itself has a more tactician’s feel to it, almost like a real-time strategy game. But not quite.

World of Warships was released in 2015 and was nominated for the British Academy Games Award for Multiplayer, though it ultimately lost to Rocket League.

Ah, a nice long range view of the battle that's aobut to be joined.

A brief look at naval gameplay in action.
