Naval tow

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.

leave the manual tow alone, just auto enable it when you run aground

Yeah, the addition of an auto-tow when stuck is good, but the manual one shouldn’t be removed.

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.

How you know your devs don’t play their own game…

Everyone knows that they never played their game at all …
I really hope that they will reconsider this feature …
If not, that will be a bug repport

Gaijin, please… Listen us for one time…

@Smin1080p_WT could we hear the reasoning for the devs trying to take away the ability to tow friendlies around outside of beaching?

A better idea is to not use slow vessels on large maps!

Perhaps have a variety in your lineups!!

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 :)

Literally half of german coastal rank 3 and rank 4:
