Coming this fall to a War Thunder near you: naval battles. The game is prepping a new theater of war — on the open sea — in which players will fight using missile boats, torpedo boats, and other ocean artillery.

So why is the game focusing on smaller ships rather than letting players take on the roles of battleship and carrier captains? “Our internal testing showed that battles with large battleships would be too long and boring, or required design changes that made ships entirely unrealistic. For this reason, we are focusing on fast attack-based craft, which are rarely reproduced in games,” said Gaijin Creative Director Kirill Yudintsev.

Interestingly enough, one of the ships will be a recreation of President Kennedy’s PT-109 torpedo boat on which he served during the war. You can get into the spirit of small, fierce naval battles with the trailer below!
