With closed alpha test likely to begin in winter, the WoWS team has started a dev blog.

Well, there isn't much on it yet, just a few articles, barely more than on my blog. Still it seems they are busy with the same things they do with the tanks - that is go to museums and start taking measurements. Which of course, is good, however considering how big ships are compared to tanks, I'd say every single boat introduced in the game will take quite the challenge and a small team working on it.
At least people will find it hard to complain about 1-2mm difference in armour thickness...Or would they?
