World Of Warships News: Aircraft Carrier Specs And Details Released Ahead Of PAX Australia Hands-On Demo; Release Date Incoming? [VIDEO]

Carrier On My Wayward Son: New World Of Warships Dev Diary Outlines The Aircraft Carrier

Wargaming has released third developer diary for their upcoming multiplayer military title, World of Warships.

The previous diary outlined three of the four classes of ships available: Battleship, Cruiser and Destroyer, and detailed the rock, paper, scissors gameplay relationship the three possess. Today's video is all about the fourth class of vessel: the aircraft carrier.

It is easy to understand why the huge ship got its own video. There are a lot of elements to take in. The aircraft carrier fundamentally changes how you play the game, with its squadrons of bombers and fighters, World of Warships will appear more like an all out strategy title. Best leave command of the aircraft carrier to the leader, or someone who is good with tactics.

The aircraft carrier, much like the battleship, is a capitol ship, but do not think it a lumbering beast. They can move as fast, or faster, than certain cruisers. "This speed lets the aircraft carrier reposition easily. It can come close to an enemy to attack or it can move towards the edge of the map in order to defend."

Not only are they faster than battleships, but they're better armed as well. Aircraft carriers are the strongest unit in the game, and added with their contingent of attack planes, also possess the longest operating range of any ship, hands down. It also adds a lot of options in terms of attack and defense. An enemy is hiding behind a mountainous island? Those planes can sneak around and bomb them. It is no longer a question of X and Y, but you have to be on the lookout on the Z axis, as well.

"Carriers can easily decide the fate of a battle." says Wargaming, but they do come with their own responsibility. There are many moving parts to an aircraft carrier, the ship, knowledge of where your flight group is and, of course, your teammates. All the speed and firepower in the world can't get you out of a situation if you're all alone.

Check out the full video below. There's still no release date for World of Warships at the moment but we'll let you know as soon as it is announced. Attendees at PAX Australia will be the first to get their hands on a playable demo starting tomorrow. Might a date be incoming?
