tbf, complex fluid mechanics for a gamemode that is played by such a small portion of the playerbase that it requires bots to fill matches is just not a good use of their time or money. The amount of detail they put into their ships is already leagues beyond what pretty much any other naval game does, you just arent going to get a fully fledged perfect naval sim when its not even the primary focus of the game, expecting that is a little silly.
The devs deserve a lot of flak for some of the stupid stuff they do, but they also dont get enough credit for much of the good work they do.
I certainly understand that Gaijin has invested considerable resources in the naval game mode. There are mistakes in places, but some of the modeling of the ships is better done than in WoWs, and I understand that they are struggling to get the DMs, which are difficult to set up, into the game somehow.
However, as a user, I would like to see them make one more effort, even if it is just a simple method of reproduction. For example, underwater shells should not travel straight ahead at the angle of incidence, but at a slightly different angle, or the underwater travel distance of Type 91 AP shells should be set separately, or whatever else is feasible.
No, it does decide here, considering the slope and thickness, it can still help against shells. Why do others get normal armor, but Yamato should be an outcast? When many are modeled down to the smallest detail and with all the thicknesses of armor, and here with Yamato they decided to be lazy. Considering that Yamato’s armor is currently not drawn correctly at all…
Even Iowa got decent armor… Why can’t they make it 163mm too? No, well, why not…
There is no need to be careless about such trifles
There have been a few reports passed that could buff it from mag/shell room size, location etc, crew size, and few other things but nothing has been changed so far.
The only option that best aligns with the two other premiums is Nagato, tragically.
Hiei is… not that good, and worse than the current BB premium Yamashiro.
A second Amagi or one of the Tosas isn’t impossible; I think they’d be a little too good to make premiums though. Not like Gaijin cares, France is either getting Normandie or a Richelieu as theirs, and I think Italy is left with only a Littorio. Shows how much thought and effort is put into the mode, right?
I suppose they could make a good decision for once and give us a second Mutsu from later in her life.
Yeah. Because they added Mutsu, any ship other than Nagato is going to be too strong or worse than Yamashiro. Should’ve been WW2 Hiei for the rank 5 premium and WW2 Yamashiro for rank 6, completely dropping their asinine insistence on adding the awful WW1 appearances.
Too bad Japan didn’t do what the Russians did, just throw something onto a slipway for the sake of it. B-65 might’ve been a decent one. Or maybe they’ll throw a curveball and do Musashi lmao.
What a stupid idea. Adding another useless rank where 6 of the 7 naval powers will at most be able to field 1 or 2 ships in the tree.
