Naval battles in the game will involve “torpedo, artillery and missile boats, coast guard vessels and submarine chasers”, the smaller vessels from WWII’s sea conflicts. Giveaways for closed beta access are also said to be coming during the GamesCom period (17 August to 21 August). If you won’t be showing up at GamesCom, it’ll still be possible to see some activities from the event via War Thunder’s Twitch channel. It can’t be all that far off, because people attending GamesCom will be able to play with the new naval options at the show. Gaijin will be adding naval battles to War Thunder under the title ‘Knights of the Sea’, with a closed beta set to take place later this year.
