I’ve not seen any of the new bots in NAB (BR2-6ish)…yet.
Won’t be surprised if/when they turn up. I have played through at least 4 bot waves so far, initially mostly just irritating (the Moffets had bad aim and were easy one shots) but increasingly problematic as they added things like basic manoeuvring and terrain avoidance.
Hopefully the snail wont be snail paced and counter them quickly. The Moffet era went on for weeks and drove players out the mode.
current trend is Leopard/Luchs (3.7), i think its a continuation of the Frunze/Kerch accounts of yore
it started a couple weeks ago but i basically stopped seeing them when i disabled CIS/NA servers
however, since the AK225 event ended i’ve seen a few of them on the EU servers too
maybe they were there all along and its only the exodus of fomo-grinders that exposed them
having said that, it’s nowhere near the numbers you’d encounter on the other servers, but its interesting to see it took them so long to get there
Until you get that one hit (which is sometimes immediately) and then it’s game over, they’re honestly the worst unbalanced maps for naval gameplay with those kinds of ships, even more so when you have a costal in your lineup that’s then unusable too
I honestly genuinely hate those maps, I have no like for them at all and for me at least theyre the biggest fun sponge in that mode. Just leave them for the top tiers only
Every single update that we get that doesn’t give us us submarines is just pain
Submarines - if they were implemented with the current issues plaguing naval - would be a potential death knell. Subs would either be really annoying or borderline worthless and a waste of a spawn.
Did they nerf the points you earn? Or this is another bug?
Oh noes, I hope not. I have not played yet today since the latest patch, but in the last couple of days I thought that the new changes were helping. Ohhhhh boy, if anyone has any good info about possible point issues please start collecting and posting ASAP so we can try and get any issues fixed while the event is still just starting.
Given anything tho ,that is much better but wish they would bother to spread out the island and stuff so destroyer can actually play. From 6.0 and above it just a massive shit show for battleship taking port shot and torp boat gun sizing for cap. They really need to remake map for DD to actually be able to contest cap
That’s because the devs reduced the score and rewards for damaging lower-BR vessels:
This is an even bigger problem in Naval than in other modes. Just as a reminder, this is what the reduction table looks like:
Right now, killing a small, fast, agile, and very annoying boat with your ship can give you as little as 10% of the base score and rewards.
I never liked this reduction system, especially because it doesn’t work both ways. It only reduces rewards and never gives you more for destroying a vehicle at a higher BR. Ever since this system was introduced, I’ve been criticizing it, because it makes no sense to cut rewards by 90% for killing another player’s vehicle.
It’s not the players’ fault that the matchmaker allows lower-BR vehicles into these battles, yet players are punished for dealing with them.
Of course, this reduction system also doesn’t take into account that players still have to spend time fighting these enemies, even if they are at a lower BR. You can’t simply ignore them, because they can still easily win games by capturing zones or using torpedoes against your team’s ships.
To me, this reduction system is extremely unfair and punishes players for no good reason.
I experienced it in high tier match. Like hits even though hitting and damaging modules didn’t give almost any points. Either some sort of hit register issue or I dunno.
Is the russian paper ship in top tier still dominating?
Technically , the Soyuz is as real as the Amagi and Tosa in game. But yeah , still is strongest ship in the game as of now
Sigh nothing to look forward to while grinding naval then. I will stay in the 5.0-6.0 BR then.
amagi was completed as far as I recall. Unless she was about to be completed when she was irreparably damaged by the earthquake in the 1920s.
Soyuz was mostly laid down with guns and turrets built but the guns were shipped to Leningrad for defense.
Pretty sure the hull was almost completed for Amagi/Tosa class ? Then the funny happened and I think Amagi hull got scrapped only her sister hull got converted , same goes for Tosa class which eventually become the Kaga.
As far as I know or judging by how they are adding ship in. As long as it got laid down it will be added. Meaning get ready for the canceled Iowa-class battleship to be added into the game as either premium or event vehicle.
That is what a Naval map is like.
Nah that’s just franz iosef land :^)
To add to the list of bugs…
I wrote a report for African Port where the mini-map didn’t match the in game geography. Specifically the large island on the Eastern side was further north than the map suggested making accidental running aground a real possibility if zoomed, or leaving you very visble when you think your turning for cover onky to discover its in another direction.
It just seems to be problem and problem at the moment. Oh well, at least i have my (grabs calculator) 6th Russian Coastal play with alongside their 3 Bluewater ships (not counting pemiums). Meanwhile USA has 0+0 (+0)…
I mean its either a bug or they nerfed it 100% just had a 5 kill Match and i had a mission score of 1000 in it lmao. If i had to guess with the decision to make rewards and whatnot based on Crew dmg they also made it so that Less Crew = less points (i killed like 3 Coastal Boats in that match in 8.0)
