Oh I agree. I prefer coast gameplay or early destroyers. But the US BB is the only US vessel I am missing and I like to get the US trees complete again. So while I can fire auto directing shells with 30% research bonus, I take that opportunity. God knows what the fix to this mess will be.

Lol. This is the silver lining. Maybe I’ll try to grind out that IJN Amagi

Indeed, I’ll try to make the most of it. This is not the time to spade brittle stuff.
As far as crews go, I have 9 US crews and two days ago, the last one turned full/full/full. So I accept that gunners won’t get much better… ;-)

Unfortunately with this they also restored ai access to fire main guns in arcade, for whatever reason

this is totally my point!

LOL. Yeah. You can literally just… afk in your BB while the primaries fire off at whatever you’re targeting. I think this is what people are mostly doing. …How the Devs have taken such a massive step into destroying this gamemode… I have no idea. I have NO IDEA what anyone was thinking. I can only presume that they weren’t.
Does anyone who develops NAB actually play it?

Really sad. How could you have destroyed the game so much? It is now a sin to be on a boat.

The AI bots are a nuisance. This is supposed to be a PVP game. All they do is cause annoyance. Why don’t they ever match 6v6 players without bots? The maps are too small for anything more, resulting in another constant annoyance: RETURN TO BATTLEFIELD or go explody in 69 s…so irritating.
Anyway, I’d embraced the new changes solely on the hopes that it would increase player numbers/hasten queue time, but that hasn’t happened at all. Seems like the opposite, actually.

With this point and click, I can easily watch a movie/youtube video. On this aspect, I think its a win. It seems Gaijin is concerned about improving multitasking and helping people in real life more than we imagine. Much thoughtful, many nice.

…I’ve tried to make the best of it by windowing, reducing graphics and size, and putting it aside while I do other tasks but, when I want to play a game, I want to play a game. I could try to find a game I REALLY play while I afk farm War Thunder Arcade Naval but… I’d really rather have a game that’s enjoyable ;D Like this one used to be.
I’ve got a “suggestion” pending. First time I’ve done this so I won’t be surprised if they send me back to the drawing board. If people making asinine suggestions got us here, maybe it can get us out.

probably it ain’t gonna pass cause it not suggest any improvements neither compromises just the request to revert all back

I really enjoyed your commentary and point of view. The videos were awesome, thanks so much for sharing those too. Therein lies the heart of the problem: A battleship isn’t a tank. It has hundreds of crew performing thousands of tasks and how do you distill those into single operator solutions and maintain “realism” ? Answer: you can’t - the realism argument is simply fatuous. And sometimes suspect, in that there are those who have ‘gimmicked’ the existing mechanic to their advantage (much like the spoiled brat fighter ‘pilots’ taking advantage of over nerfed bombers), and they don’t want to lose their advantage. So they sow a make believe argument that it isn’t “realistic”. Personally I like the new mechanic; since it came out the majority of sketchy gimmicking I have encountered now is lag and ddos booting. The aiming playing field has been leveled out and is mostly fair. Now I just wish they would decompress the trees from 7.0 to 12.0

I guess we’ll see. I think there’s a compromise to see the return of markers, and that’s in there so [shrugs]. Dumber things have been accepted. We’re all living that truth now.

Suggestions need to be approved.
This can take months.

Too bad for you, on Ru forums suggestion moderation takes 1 day. And we don’t have tons of sections for different suggestions just tags and one section for new ones. Probably thousands of vehicle suggestions(useless as i think) instead of gameplay improvement suggestions did a bad joke too you.

and often they are rejected w/o any reason or feedback (happened to 2 of my suggestions regarding new rewards twice)

Lol. So, I guess the only REAL opportunity we have is to voice concern here. Since “Suggestions”, as @Kweedko has suggested, takes a lot of time, and is highly selective. [shrugs]. If you make enough noise, the Devs listen. It’s best if you’re as big and cranky as Tankers but, you do what you can with what you have.
I’ll try suggestions for a bit as well but… [shrugs] I am not going to be playing much NAB, I don’t think, and we’ll see if dropped NAB player numbers help our case. Us talking about it lets them know this is the possible reason for the drop in player numbers.

Awesome, so English speaking players get ignored - where most of the income for the company comes from. Super awesome. Thanks for the heads up though. I still will not be playing another Naval match as long as it stays like this.
So, since you have the perfect connections to actually get the attention of the Devs/Community Managers/Mods, do us all a favor and forward the information and disapproval of the Naval updates. Especially about the Naval Arcade aiming.

Yeah. Not a great response. Lol. Russian Bias in the Forums too? :/ Kweed says, “Go Make Suggestions” then we find out suggestions don’t get heard outside of the Russian threads. :D Sounds like gaslighting to me. [shrugs] “No, the problem is YOU comrade, you aren’t trying hard enough!”
Oh. Ok.
I’m not sure where my Suggestion is, actually. I don’t see a pending section in my posts. I don’t see a message stating that the Suggestion was Accepted or Rejected. It’s just gone.
So… the answer is… THIS place is the ONLY place we REALLY have to voice our issues and concerns.
I’m just kinda pissed because I bought that Event French Cruiser thinking I was going to make it do work and now Arcade Naval is broken.
