Recently, the company behind wow disclosed a new funny look about the building of the Gunship Battle in Icecrown Citadel. Even if it does not involve much of technical details, it's an interesting look at how they reasoned through both the mechanics and knowledge of the fight. They needed something epic which allowed for some of the close ship combat that players have asked for, and it was a very good chance to coordinate the ICC raid with one of Icecrown's most significant quest hubs.

Maybe it is safe to say this is one of Blizzard's most special fights, and it's extremely fun if you're part of the team buy dealing with the enemy ship. That really nails the "controlled chaos" angle they were aiming for. If you're part of the team protecting your own ship, you will surely get some new feelings. Strangely , this is one of the few encounters in which the achievement version do make it less engaging, as most raids assign static teams to the ships and either kite Saurfang or swap taunts. Nevertheless, provided you've already made the achievement or just do not need to worry about it for the moment, you will have more fun.
