How beta test will be?

Testing of naval battles will be done in several stages.

In the first stage (pre-beta testing) special missions will be available at a specific time, several days per week. Vehicles that require test will be pre-allocated in the missions. The test will be primarily focused on vessel physics and controls - your feedback is extremely important at this stage, join the pre-beta testing and share your ideas in the special section of the forum.
In the following testing stages (beta testing) the participants will be able to research the trees of several nations and for testing will join some selected players that submitted a request for testing.
Also, in the second stage the owners of the early access packs will have access to the vehicles from the pre-order packs.
Attention! You can participate in the testing from no more than two PC’s.
