A post on Russian forums announces that Wargaming is looking for alpha testers for World of Warships.

Apparently, only Russian forum members (or rather, Russians – or at least people who speak Russian) are to post their application in any form into the abovelinked thread. What criteria are considered for an alpha-tester, in order of importance:

- World of Warships forum activity (at least 250 good posts, no spamming)

- WoT and WoWp alpha test veterans do get a priority

- experience in alphatesting other games

- being a professional tester, or an IT specialist

- proactivity and decency

What has NO effect on the application:

- amount of battles in WoT and WoWp

- winrate

- age

- country

- city

So I guess even the foreigners can apply, as long as they speak Russian? The demand of speaking Russian is not mentioned anywhere, I concluded it since this appeared on RU forums, might be wrong.
