Quite a number of 7.0 capital ships have decent AA protection to protect their own. Some exception are Bayern class, HMS Barham, IJN Hyuga/Mutsu/Amagi, which are except for Mutsu and Amagi, not a front line service capital ship anymore for each nation ingame. That’s why I exclude 7.0 as ‘spamming’ situation.

understandable
Wait I just realized… The US can get refits of their battleships that have modern weapons… That would actually be insane

Yeah, EC with a 25 min timer, the br system so you won’t get clap by a schannorst in your destroyer and my hopes that we can make the dev understand that the curent formula for naval does not work anymore.

EC would become very interesting with AShM
It would require some balancing changes but it could be “fun”

I can’t wait tbh
It’s going to make naval a lot more interesting (Prob won’t be too unbalanced either with a small BR increase)
If only gaijin updates naval radar FCS so it’s easier to shoot down incoming missiles…
It’ll take more than Shipwrecks to bring down an Iowa class

Masurca is great, probably the closest thing any non US navy vessel will get to the ridiculousness of the RIM-8 Talos.
210kg warhead, Mach 3 speed, well over 100km range and a ramjet sustainer to keep it cruising at mach 3 for a large part of the flight. It’s also been proven in combat to be capable of hitting small agile targets, and uses a LOSBR+SARH guidance system that gives the enemy very little warning before impact.
Did I mention there’s an option to use a nuclear warhead or turn the missile into a fire and forget anti-radiation missile? I don’t think you can mix the nuclear warhead with the ARM seeker, but even then; 210kg on a fire and forget missile capable of high speed and exteme range is insane for the 1955 tech it was built on.
Definitely one of the missiles of all time.

I want what the designers of this thing were smoking
But holly molly 3.5 tons wtf.
Masurca is only a 100kg warhead but let’s be fair it’s already enough most of the time X)
To think we went from this to hit-to-kill stuff like SM-3 or Asters all while reducing the weight 3-4 times and improving the range in the process.
I will say though, the 50s were certainly something when it comes to things that fly

That would be really funny in game
Did actually test that last dev server when it initially looked like you could bring A4E’s into naval & dumb shit like that. We tried a bravy against both martels & kormorans and the bravy could definitely intercept two of them.

Afaik bravy’s reload is artificially nerfed ATM so it would be a very viable AA platform

Personally, I’d say give everyone missile ships (please gaijin, give us county class destroyer) and making sure CIWS like the AK-630 that many soviet frigates have actually works.

Would also be nice if guns automatically led targets when you lock targets with radar
Would make shooting down missiles at longer ranges with main guns with proxy a lot more viable
