French Coastal discussion - what's new, what can be added

Thanks for the link, I will participate to this thread then !

Sometimes you wonder…
But usually the 1.0 Coastal games I did were 4-6 players, and the rest of the team is only named AI bots (Gerhard, Nobosuke and their friends)…

Yesterday I even had a really “funny” game again, with 4.X “player” bots, with their weird names and using only USS Gearing. I was the only human there…

La Combattante is useless, there is no speed, there are no torpedoes, there is no survivability.
BR should be somewhere 3.3.

Everything above 3.3 is 2 BR’s higher than it’s actual ability!

Admittedly that’s only 3 boats, but still…

It’s going down to 3.7 Planned Battle Rating Changes for October 2024

And the VLT-1 and -2 are going down to 3.3, but I still think all 3 ships will be 1 level too high even with this.

I don’t think they could justify selling a 3.0 coastal boat for $30… probably why it was over BR’d to begin with.

Overall, aside from the Arras, the lineup is quite poor and lacking in substance. If this were 3 months after the addition of French Bluewater, Id give them a pass. But we waiting a full year after Bluewater intro and this was the best they could muster? Not impressed. Especially for 30$.

Now, it remains to be seen over the next few updates. We have 3 coming in 5 months. I assume, I hope… perhaps pray, that more vehicles are coming down the pipeline.

Though its WT Naval… which is a sad meme at this point.

Pretty sure cost is linked to tier rather than BR, so T3 vehicles are all $29.99 regardless of BR.

Might be wrong, but it’s the impression I get every time something new goes on sale - cost = (Tier-1 x $10!)
