This isn’t a guide on how to actually play Naval. This is a guide that will help ease the feeling of grinding.
I play every nation in Naval. I keep the first two crews for each nation set aside to do this. One is for coastal and one for deep water (dw). I take the lowest BR vessel(s) that is not spaded and place them there. Don’t forget to put your planes in there as well.
Then I play that crew in one battle. Then I move on to the next. After playing one round of coastal and one of dw, I move on to the next nation.
This has helped me to play Naval w/o the feeling of grinding away at the same thing day after day. I have seven nations to play, so that is fourteen matches a day. Do I play all fourteen every day? Nope. I have kids and an active social life. But when I do play, I meet all kinds of people as I play lower level coastal and even up to 6.7 (Germany).
Of course, I have higher level ships that I hop into on occasion. But the idea of actually getting somewhere helps to ease the feeling of burden when just grinding out a single nation’s naval line.
I hope this helps any of you. And I hope to see you out there on the high seas or along the coast. If you see me, give a hail, even if I’m on the other side. Who knows, I might not target you. o7
