Cruisers should not fight battleships

6.0 does not deserve to get dragged up to 7.0 matches.
It ruins naval.
It ruins the experience.
It is not fun gameplay to do absolutely nothing to a battleship.
Not a single 6.0 cruiser has any chance against a full 7.0, 6.7 uptier.
This is Killing the game mode.
We need 6.0 to not get uptiered.
It needs a BR lock so 6.0 can only fight 6.0 and not get dragged up to fighting impenetrable battleships.

Naval desperatly needs a BR decompression

It’s been needed for two years.
They haven’t done anything to help the problem

I can’t play PREMIUM CRUISERS without feet uptiered 7/10 games. I don’t want to fight battleships. I don’t even want to fight destroyers either.
It’s just not engaging or fun. What the point of playing a 6.0 if you are going to get deleted and be an RP pinata for a battleship

I usually do a 180, hide behind heavier ships and single out light cruisers and destroyers.
Works well, but you get bored of the defensive gameplay

Don’t worry, the new update only increased the compression for absolutely zero reason
gotta be the most incompetent management team of all the parts of war thunder deciding that a 6 inch light cruiser that doesn’t even have AP gotta be a HIGHER br than a god damn battleship

Then destroyer should not fight cruiser and frigate should not fight destroyer.
We know it won’t happen.

Decompression is impossible for naval without matches becomes like 2v2 with the rest filled out with bots, or horrific que times to get that number up to like 6v6.

I’d rather see a rework of naval that allows for all classes of ship to have a place in a battle instead of matches just looking like the same handful of ships fighting each other (and on both teams to boot).

I think decompression with 2v2 match is better than compression with 6v6, and eventually leads to more player number.

but what they will do is problem. Already people were tired with coastals on domination maps, but without it coastals will be useless current lineup.

Imagine USS New Orleans being same BR as SMS Von der Tann and Westfalen…

Naval don’t need decompressions, naval need gameplay and maps improvements. Cause decompression without map bracket changes and DD respawn moves, gives you destroyers and frigates fighting battleships on 20km maps+ where they can’t shoot or use torps properly for 10 mins constantly being under fire of whole enemy team during this time.
