Air fine, we focused on ground attackers and lacked some decent interim fighters
Tanks fine. Challenger 2 has some major limitations
But naval…
Come on… We could easily have been on par with any nation in games even getting a ship that would have gone toe to toe with scharnhorst…but we haven’t had a new top tier ship in over 2 years but the soviets, one of the worst navies in the world, is stronger in both numbers and ships at the moment.
Hood is okay, but still has several quite notable nerfs like the shell dispersal and has only really gotten “good”, with the shell changes recently.
Really annoying that we’ve gotten multiple WW1 dreadnoughts that can’t really be used due to compression and stand no chance of doing anything but get one spotted instead of a top tier BB. Especially as we’ve gotten 2 event ships in that time frame as well. Seriously neither could have been on the TT?
Japan once again has triple the ships the UK has and came out after the royal navy, there is no excuse for that, we have the vessels to have more then triple what germany has right now but gaijin again just has a hate boner for the UK
As someone who plays Japan, Naval as well, I wish Gaijin wouldn’t add so many ships, both because we need other things and the grind to get them is miserable
I will never forgive gaijin for making the first QE class an event ship, it would be like if Tirpitz or Missouri came before Bismarck and Iowa as event ships
For how many years you think i’m waiting for the numberous VBLs family, or the less know Lohr one (dozens of vehicles from Lohr company, all funny little sized, tracked or wheeled) ?
But anyway… Going back to naval, the fact we have the option for the biggest tree in the game by far and yet have the second smallest is just insane to me. The amount of capability gaps like the lack of decent radar on most ships or the lack of SAM destroyer. Or just a second 7.0 BB within 2 years of the last. Is getting old fast.
I really really fear what we’ve been promised. Because it could be 7.0 worthy but it could also be way weaker than it should be, another glass canon. Too many of our ships have really annoying nerfs like HMS renowns incorrect draft and lack of HE-VT for her secondary guns
You know you don’t have to justify all of that to me, we are in the same boat.
We don’t have SAM destroyer ingame too ^^
In fact we have no modern/cold war ship for now, nothing with fast firing gun and all, Germany with the Koln have a modern French turret that we still don’t have (the quick 100mm firing one). (French tech in Germany/other country but not France, case number #356)
Played some ships yesterday (still noob here), and it’s sad to meet fast firing ships with only old turret/loading ones.
Even some secondary hurt me a lot between my reloads xD
And when i’m saying we are in the same ‘shape’ of problem i’m absolutly not saying one of us deserve more than the other, both of us need way more love in the seas (and i really think it, even if this boil my DNA :p).
Yep, just deeply annoying the soviets, the nation that should have the weakest naval in game, maybe even no naval in game, has a number of very strong and unique ships
