Loading...First sighting of the German Battleship Tirpitz (Bismarck’s sister ship) in World of Warships!
I was lucky enough to spot not one but TWO of the new Battleship Tirpitz in a match. (Belonging to WG staff) The following teaser contains footage captured via the game’s replay camera system. Everything is in engine.
Live streaming with standards!
+SideStrafe any chance you could say where to find this file? I already
search all Files in the WOWs folder, but somehow, i can not find any music
:/
+SideStrafe Ah thanks for the information. I used to play without music in
cbt, since they used the melody of a german drinking song in their battle
theme, which kinda destroyed the atmosphere for me. But this song is
incredible, maybe I should turn the music on again.
+JohnnyHorsti It’s part of the game’s score, however, when I originally
found the file it just had a number and I’ve since relabled it so not sure
what it’s called.
+Xandier Xce right crtl, shift, r and right click
+ScottR 98 bismarck is going to be the normal ship , Tirpitz the premium
one. Why you ask? bismarck has repair cost that is the same as N. carolina
and amagi and the tirpitz is much lower repair cost and it has the cammo
patern for a prem ship 😛 both are tier 8
+ScottR 98 Tier 8.
+John Housakos As if World Of Warships is near anything realistic or
historical… The ship models are the only thing thats chlose-ish to the
originals
+Jesper O This destroys immersion. History is history, you cannot change
it. That is what drives me nuts in “historical games”.
+ewok40k Bisco-Onee-sama would be awesome
Eugen-chan would be happy this xD
+kimbonzky do you REALLY think World Of Speedboats is near any sort of
realism or historical accuracy? Really?
Because the Kreigsmarine, like the Heer and Luftwaffe, was a part of the
military arm (Wehrmacht) of the Nazi regime but was not actually a Nazi
organisation in and of itself. The Swastika was adopted by the Nazi party
and so is directly associated with that regime hence why it can not/will
not be displayed.
Also, we don’t know yet what WG are calling the German tree, for all we
know they may call it the Reichsmarine.
If you want accuracy just wait until the KM ships come out, I am supremely
confident that someone will released a mod for the KM war ensign.
+Bismarck well put Bismarck ?
+kimbonzky What they ‘should’ do is subjective. Ultimately, they are a
company and ‘should’ operate by making sensible business decisions and not
employ some kind of arbitrary reasoning for historical correct flags. It
was clear from the start they would not use the KM flag. Putting the real
flag would mean loosing out on the lucrative German market (as then they
cannot distribute the game there) as well as opening themselves to attacks
back home in Moscow. Nope, they won’t do that because that would be stupid.
That’s how the real world turns, doesn’t mean that we have to agree with
it, but that’s how it is. It makes absolutely no sense from a business
perspective to employ the correct flag. Nor does it make much sense beyond
that. The Tirpitz is the Tirptiz whether she has the ‘correct’ flag or not.
It’s an arcade game. If you are looking for an historical correctness, you
won’t find it here. At the end of the day, I guess you can always get
yourself a mod to sail under the swastika. But if you need the swastika on
your ship to ‘feel the immersion’ then I don’t know what to say…
Its the same with the Japanese, once the Germans come out the XVM modpack
will probably have the real flag, like they have the rising sun flag for
the IJN
+Panzergrenadier Productions They can use that flag in most nations in he
EU for artistic purposes like a movie with Nazi’s in it (Iron Sky had that
exemption), educational, historical (museums and such) or archival
purposes. The flag shown is also questionable but only affects German Law
so not sure how it will fly. Its not you can’t show it just not for basic
entertainment if this was a movie with the real ship it would be artistic
and for historical accuracy. The IJN should have the Rising Sun Flag but
they won’t use that on grounds it offends those in Asia.
+Panzergrenadier Productions To be perfectly honest with you I could care
less which ensign they used in game, admittedly I subscribe to historical
accuracy but I understand the political minefield WG have to tread for that
accuracy, for instance several countries have legislation in effect that
prohibits the display of the Swastika.
As it is WG is walking a fine line with the Reichskreigsflagge (shown in
the vid) because that also falls under German legislation where “the
1867-1921 version without swastika is prohibited when it is the focal point
of a display or disrupts political order”.
Or just put the damn swastika and the original IJN flag. We’re not trying
to glorify stuff here, it’s only about depicting historically accurate
ships.
+vaulthecreator But it would be closer to the actual thing. Use the
design/layout of the Kriegsfahne, and replace the Swastika with either a
Balkenkreuz, or an Iron Cross.
+Meik Vincenco
The Bismarck went really well for the Brits. They sank the ‘pride of the
German Navy’, a huge over engineered, in-effective, outdated and
overburdened waste of resources for Nazi Germany, for no loss other than an
outdated Battlecruiser they had lying around since the 1920s. I’d take that
deal any day if I was the Royal Navy.
Sunk , alongside the Hood,by the Brits, yes. That is my point.
+Meik Vincenco Judging by the fact that Bismarck got sunk it went quite
well for them.
+Meik Vincenco 15 inch guns at tier 8 is going to be BLEH. The only thing
saving these ships, is the better Rate of Fire to compensate for the lower
damage/salvo potential. Also, they’re about on-par with the Amagi in almost
every other category. One thing is highly imbalanced, though… The other
Tier 8 BBs aren’t nearly as heart-throbbingly gorgeous as the
Bismarck/Tirpitz.
Which ones? The ones on the bottom of pearl harbor or the ones who never
came into direct contact with the Jap fleet? They never faced off against
the Bismarck. The Brits did; ask them how well that went for them.
+Rasmus Jensen You couldn’t be more wrong… The H-Classes were considered
upgraded versions of the Bismarck class, not the Bismarck class itself.
Edit:
Also, the H44 design is extremely impractical, and was really only a
fantasy of German naval architects.
The so called Bismarck class, is really the H-Class. H39-H41-H43-H44 look
it up 🙂
+DEANOGTO Both Bismark and Tirpitz are coming. Word getting around is
Tirpitz is a premium.
Wait wait for KM myself 😀
Edit: Corrected, I done goofed and initially said Bismark was prem lol
Well, if she meets tall boys Tirpitz will roll on her back.
XD greatest comment withe the greatest response
Allright, after I saw what you did to hms hood with one shell I wont touch
her!
+Jing0oo it was implemented long ago for testing purposes. It’s just not
user friendly enough yet to be considered as “ready for players”.
The games replay system? Did they already implement one or are you talking
about the one that you have to edit? 😛
