People ARE excited about these big ships though. We’ll see a bump in HIGH BR games, I bet, as people buy premiums to skp the grind. And we may see some people try to grind to those boats but, I bet we lose any of those numbers in 3 months. [shrugs] We’ll see what happens. BB combat isn’t compelling. The boats are cool from size and power aspect but, they don’t FEEL fun.

Sure, current naval state is cause of “me”, cause finding yourself a personal scarecrow(and fight it) is way easy than demand the good changes in naval modes. If no one cares about naval in this community why should devs care .

So if “you” don’t like me, why no one created similar tread and discuss there ?

Where they do, doesn’t seem like “they” do ?
I think it coming back alive after some cool ships being added
What’s really remarkable is SL rewards in the midranges have as much as tripled in some cases this year, into 100k+ average games for premiums due to the forced 16v16 matches and: a) no one has really noticed; and b) overall playerbase numbers STILL didn’t go up (Statshark screenshot, top SL earners for April, AB):
People used to think Naval was a good SL-printer when Moffetts made 20K SL average per game. Now I would trade back a 50 per cent SL reduction for a 2x RP doubling, personally.

I don’t think that no one noticed this. You face more AI bots in battles nowadays (rewards for killing AI bots were also increased), so it makes sense to have higher kills per battle at average and increased SL rewards. These two things are closely related.
It’s just that most true Naval players played this game mode for fun and never cared about SL. And if someone plays Naval only to grind SL (e.g. with all their SL boosters), it doesn’t really change anything for them. Maybe it’s even better to stay silent about it. After all, the devs have the ability to change this situation at any time.
I don’t really see a connection here. If someone wanted to grind SL in Naval, the SL here was always much higher than in any other game mode. It doesn’t matter if the average SL per battle is 60k or 90k, it’s still much better than in Ground or Air.
Me too, but the RP system is designed to slow you down. SL system is not as important anymore, after the devs added SL boxes. Personally, I don’t buy SL boxes and I don’t care about SL gains.

Pretty sure if you saw SL rewards double or triple over one update cycle for a significant chunk of the vehicles in any other mode, at least ONE CC would have at least made ONE video about it. Just saying I haven’t seen one. And instead of the “wow, naval rewards really went up this year” thread, we have… this one (see also, “navy arcade sucks now” and “navy battles are very annoying atm”, both threads like this one that started after the SL boosts)

Most ships didn’t gain “double or triple” SL. In fact only Kerch doubled its SL gains. The RP should follow the same pattern. While this is interesting (and quite obvious, considering less players and more AI bots in battles with increased AI bots rewards), I don’t see why CCs would talk about this.

You really think if tanks or jets didn’t see that kind of sudden SL jump, no one would have noticed before us, and you wouldn’t see more people playing, and no one would mention it in a half-dozen complaint threads before now? Okay, I guess, you believe what you want. RB SL/game gains 4.7-6.7 are significantly higher as well (again, April Statshark top 6 vehicles by SL/game):
does statshark provide detailled information about usage of planes in naval battles? I would expect a significant decrease since the aimbot update
