I’m a hardcore naval fan but seeing how naval is tdy is just sad. Back then Battleships really felt like floating fortresses at top tier, but now they are nothing more but extremely squishy look at Yamato and Iowa when they were introduced into the game. And naval gameplay now is kinda boring and frustrating at times, But I have some ideas that could help naval to be better.
• ships with close to historical accurate survivability armour and torpedo defence system in game.
• realistic flooding and compartment mechanics
Tho I understand this would be hard to implement in game since they have tried something similar back then.
• as close to historical accurate shells and torpedo damage in game
• newer bigger maps backed up by new realistic aiming mechanics with more accurate range finding, to make long range engagements work in game with better spawns of course.
• more diverse ships types in naval battles even at top tier, rather then just having battleships and battlecruisers shelling one another at far range. At least every ship type would have a proper role to play in battles.
• crew animation or some form of damage control animation such as patching up holes and putting out fires and repairing and also, while the ship is unwatering would also be nice.
• better graphics for water quality and also the ingame ships damage such as shell hole and a black scratching marks looks kinda bad. Would be nice if they added more better realistic looking once, and new torpedo hole damage would be nice.
• different realistic ship sinking would be nice also.
• maybe changing the tech tree similar to air and ground. Maybe having one line for destroyers, cruisers and battleships would be nice. So that players don’t have to grind through all the cruiser and destroyers just to get to their first Battleships.
• and more historical Camo and maybe standard playing grey cannot for premium and non premium ships in naval. Because some of the ships grey in game such as Yamato is not even the correct grey is too light when it should have been kure arsenal grey.
I think this are some ideas that gaijin could try to implement and improve on to make naval better then what it is today. If not at least keep players interested in naval, and it’ll help a lot with having a more diverse and immersive gameplay making battles different from another.
Pls do share Ur thoughts and if U have any ideas on how to make naval great, pls do share Ur ideas here.
