This discussion about how naval grind issue and how it can be improved and how to make players more inserted in it.
Basically this just another option to make it easier get naval ships without playing naval because it’s very grindy and takes long time to grind without a premium account and premium ship !
In game you have the option to grind helis with ground would be cool if same system get added for naval in my opinion !
why this system is good?
1-more players in naval instead of the 20 same players
2-take less time to grind naval
do you want to grind naval by using aircraft?

Spoiler
do you think it’s good idea will help naval to have larger player base or bring more players to play naval?
Edit: made the post more clear !
Edit : added 2 new polls made it more clear !
why?
i think it will make it easier for player to grind naval also it’s optional you want grind naval in normal way you can it’s just another way that help players to grind naval.
The maps are mediocre to terrible (the primary problem) for bluewater since gaijin thinks it’s okay for both teams to be able to spawn kill each other within seconds or allowing PT boats to be able to spawn in a 5.3+ match.
At least in EC battleships can engage at realistic distances instead of ass sniffing distance like in arcade/realistic but Leviathans did ease that to a slight degree.
I’m just genuinely tired of open water circle maps with no cover because it’s lazy and boring design. One of the newest maps they added is just [shy] of being a great map.
I voted no. I don’t see a reason other than wanting it easier. I guess I have not felt it was that bad of a grind. I completed several coastal trees and will say when I did they did not have a lot variety. I think now it would be easier to do since they have added many ships over the last couple of years.
I have not focused on blue water as much since changes to the game have made me lose interest in playing larger ships beyond rank III.
I feel like I would actually lose more interest if it others could grind naval without actually playing it. Grind it without playing the mode. Something about that feels off. We see this sort of problem in players buying a premium and jumping into high tier.
my experience with naval was awful in past years and i see no reason to play naval again and yes you can call it a skill issue !
the amount of times i got my kill stolen and the amount time it takes to kill 1 enemy is just not fun because it get stolen by someone else also awful maps and other stuff makes me stay away from naval in my personal experiences!
i think this option would be a nice thing to be added i can grind my fav ship while using a ground vehicle and play more naval battles with my fav ship that the only thing will make me play naval talking about my self !
it’s a good point !
it’s same thing with helis players that have no experiences with helis they become a free kill until they learn how to use it same idea for ships !
or as example new players with premium ships they are no different !
i think this part where gajin need to add more tips and videos and show new or old players how to use ships !
I think it would make more sense to grind with aircraft instead of ground vehicles. We have many naval aircraft in the game, with weapons for naval targets. More obvious, you can use aircraft in naval modes.
We should be able to grind blue water with coastal and vice versa. We can bring both in battle just the same.
I voted No, and while I avoid Naval with a 10 foot pole, I think there is a major element of skill to it, especially at the higher ranks, where knowing the placement of ammo racks, experienced shot ranging, map knowledge, crew skills, etc are all factors that a majority of people will be skipping when sailing out their shiny new Iowa or Yamato that they ground out with a clickbait/fuji.
In turn due to gaijins awful balancing system, the statistics will drop and result in abnormal BRs for popular ships.
Naval, despite it’s flaws is a unique and seperate game mode, unlike helis which are a component of another game mode, so ships should be respected in that sense.
I think a more sensible proposition would be the researching of both naval branches with their respective ships, meaning a Coastal rank 5 can research a Bluewater rank 5, and so on.
The kill stealing happens to everyone, frustrating as it may be. I agree it should be reworked that if the hit causes a ship to start scuttling itself (roughly 8% crew), the kill should be attributed to the player that caused it, not the person that knocked the crew to 0%.
Alternatively do it like the only good thing battlefield 4 did; assist count as kill by doing majority damage.
Naval has problems, yeah but in its current incarnation, most of it’s due to horrid map design
But Naval
