Ship towing has now been made contextual. We have removed the towing on/off button from the action bar and made it work automatically. If a player runs aground, the request to tow them is now turned on automatically. A corresponding icon appears above the player’s ship, which is visible to nearby allies. If an ally gets close enough to the stranded ship, they will be asked to help get it off the ground by hooking the towing rope. After that, the towing player will be able to unhook it using the same button at any time
No no no no.
Tell us if you want to ruin your game faster ?
Let this as it was in the past.
You do not like teamplay ?
You still want slow ship never reach the battlefield ?
I do hope the devs reconsider this.
Goofing around in customs, letting a squadmate regret forgetting they hit the tow button and forgot about it, dragging someone who’s engine room compartments are permanently flooded and can no longer move, there’s plenty of legitimate reasons to tow people outside them getting stuck in a island
This only takes away from players and should not be removed.
Dont worry, you used to be able to push these slow boats and barges with destroyers up to speeds of over 60kph but gaijin removed that because fun with friends is illegal :)
