I’ll start by mentioning this is a comment now being used as a post.
Christmas Gazebo [What this post is being made from]
While it can be unlocked with many vessels it follows a common trend that the developers of this epic game, unfortunately many of these interesting 3D decorations are limited to only certain warships with many of these restrictions feel like someones taking the piss with tech tree classifications a bit to far.
Two screenshots:
HMS Saumarez G12, S class (WWII) Wartime Emergency Program destroyer:
HMS Leopard F14, Type 41 AD Frigate:
What separates these two ships? Well historically around ten years, armament, radars, sonars, speed, wartime Vs peacetime construction & in game? 15t… an a 0.3 BR difference an more important their tech trees.
Yet because one is Bluewater (even though historically both are Bluewater) & the other Coastal. Here in lies the problem, you could use both to unlock the Gazebo yet only one can use it due to the poxy restrictions placed on by the devs.
I’ve hounded this request for years on the old forum & in non offical forums & is in other places, the decoration restrictions should be lifted & given rise to one that uses tonnage over tree classification.
I think personally it should be flat restriction to sub 100t unless it’s say a landing ship were the placement of a decoration like a tank makes sense say with an SF40 or LCG(M) (French L9059), but anything over 100t can freely use the tanks, the siege mortars (would make sense on smaller vessels), the elephant an so on.
There are so many cool decorations locked iut due to this pointless mechanic.
