Is it me or battleship are just blatantly over power. Honestly, they are almost unsinkable, except maybe by other battle ship.
I only have Super cruiser and light cruiser ship and there literally is nothing i can do against them. i couldn’t even sink one battle ship using 3 cruisers. At this point i just quit any match that don’t have flags to cap.
I might just stop playing Naval all together since the grind is ridiculous in those condition.
sometimes its best to concentrate on using torps with the biggies but yeah can really take some punishment lol
That is kinda the point of a battleship…
Naval has some compression issues and IRL light and heavy cruisers could do some damage to heavier classes of ships (Look at Belfast vs Scharnhorst) but a lot of that either isnt modeled in game or isnt relevant to the game setting.
I doubt IRL either type of cruiser could actually sink anything that much heavier than themselves without torpedos.
In most matches, you should have other targets besides battleships to attack, so id aim for them. Id also recommend sticking at or below 5.7. 6.0 cruisers tend to get uptiered to 7.0 and that can be rough.
A PT-810 can take out a battleship. They’re slow. And a torp will mess them up.
The bigger issue regarding Top Tier Naval is that it’s boring.
Nothing really moves. Not with any speed that mater. The guns fire slow. The time to target is slow. Everything about end tier Naval is slow. And boring.
The issue isn’t Naval. It’s the type of Naval getting pushed, and the idea that better gameplay is at higher BRs. It isn’t.
The best BR range is about 3.3 to 3.7. The destroyers are fun because they can move. But, once you get to the heavier slower vehicles…it’s dullsville.
Here is the thing. Even if i focus on smaller ships i get down in like 3-4 shots by battleships. Even worse when more than half of the enemy fleet are battleships there is nothing you can do. IRL battleships are in very small numbers, not the main type of ships. This game is a joke.
There is not point if playing this “game”. It might be a good simulator, but beside that it’s just bad.
If only gaijin would try to improve the gameplay through out the game it would be a silver lining, but for what i’ve read on many forums, they don’t seems to care the slightest. This Naval thing is just one of the MANY issues this game has. Bye Bye WT
What I’ve done is just avoid the problematic ships. Which is to say, pretty much avoid 5.7 and up. The maps are not fun at that tier, and the ships aren’t fun. It’s just a lot of lobbing shells to little effect on the big boats, and to devastating effect on the smalls. I also find BB boring to play. Compounded by Float Planes occasionally breaking (which is the best part of big ships)… end tier is just not a fun game.
I live at BR 3.3 or 3.7. Sometimes 4.3 or 4.7. Destroyers are quite fun. Lighter cruisers too. I have thousands of hours at those tiers. I don’t see the point in playing BB matches. And if people don’t like them, I wouldn’t play them. Play the boats you like!
I say that even as Naval Arcade is broken, and the aiming system with the AI make it unplayable. And as I’ve had to play Planes or Tanks instead so… Not sure how long until I can’t call myself a Naval Main anymore but hopefully they unscrew the problem they recently created.
Thats just uptier in navy in general. PT boats vs gunboats/subchasers, gunboats/subchasers vs destroyers, destroyers vs cruisers and cruisers vs battleships… Basically when you get full uptier in naval you are screwed. Unless you can pull some bamboozle with PT boat and sneak behind enemy and torpedo them. But that is one way trip which gives you one or two kills…
I wish there’s a limit to how many ships of each type can be on a team. Like a team can have a max of 4 BBs, 6 CBs, and maybe the rest are DDs
