What naval history enthusiast worth their salt would dare pass up the opportunity to watch USS Missouri (BB-63) fire off a full broadside salvo, stalk a convoy from the bridge of a Type VII U-boat, or get up close and personal with the legendary battleship Yamato?
If these experiences sound like they belong on your bucket list, then the good news is you won’t have to wait out the invention of a time machine – all this and more is possible in 2024, thanks to World of Warships.
The even better news is that it’s absolutely free!
World of Warships is a huge multiplayer online PC video game that allows you to take command of the 20th century’s mightiest vessels. Employing clever naval tactics and a diverse arsenal of weaponry – from destroyer-launched torpedoes to carrier-borne bombers, all the way through the biggest battleship guns ever used in anger – your goal is to achieve victory in team-based battles.
As you gain experience, you can unlock increasingly more advanced ships from various nations and amass your very own armada.
But World of Warships is more than just a game; the ships within aren’t just a jumble of pixels with a shiny name slapped on them. Each one has been painstakingly modeled after their historical counterparts, down to the very rivets, using documents, blueprints and photographs taken straight from prestigious archives around the planet.
Indeed, World of Warships is a veritable digital floating museum, and the largest one in existence, at that!
