World of Warships: Legends .. has been distracting me as of late

I have been rather distracted of late playing World of Warships Legends on the 'family' PS4 (after wrenching the controls from my teenage son). I was interested in World of Tanks but frankly got bored but there seems to be more mystic appeal to watching the excellent 3-D real-time imagery (see below, to get a feel of the concept art - I won't bore everybody with screen-shots):


It has caught the 'modeller' appeal in me, although apart from Guadalcanal destroyer battles of 1942 I am stretched to think of island battle with destroyers, cruisers and battleships. Open sea battle squadrons it is not but fun it is, although I growl when I see battleships reversing for tactical advantage! Pity there is not a scenario editor.

Normal service .. may .. be resumed shortly!

The World of Tanks

Hmmm, now that I (or rather the family) am in the PS4 club I can indulge myself unrepentantly and unashamedly in the online gaming sensation that is ... "World of Tanks"!


I am just having TOO much fun :)

PS4: AIR CONFLICTS - Pacific Carriers

If you cannot beat them then join them!

The 'family' (ahem, eldest son with his elbows to the fore, but the others make sure he does not get it all his own way as we all have 'our own' games) got a PS4 as the big Xmas present. The sounds of action packed "Lego" fights (Marvel Super Heroes and Lego Dimensions) along with the mandatory shuffling sounds of heaps of small Lego pieces (quite evocative) echo through the house for most of the weekend! When the tired kids are off to bed and the wife thinks she'll get a bit of piece and quiet I slip away into WWII Carrier Combat (see below, WWII PS4 game and a custard tart, does it get any better?)


So far I have made it to Midway on Rookie setting with the easier Arcade control settings (call it a need for easy gratification) but the Cap and AA keep shooting me down as I try and take out the Kaga and Akagi.
