for me, its a matter of stalemate of the gameplay/rewards/meta nations, and missing multiple generations of ships improvements, gameplay mechanics are missing, actual bugs not fixed, shell mechanics for anything that is solid shot so it does some damage within a liveable time frame, then all of that combined, doing years jump to the new modern stuff with premiums at price of 80$, with one of the ships being one of the best ships as of now, with all the bugged/improper content combined, just a slap in the face of players that don’t want to play meta nations…
I personally couldn’t care less if we had modern ships now, if they didn’t stall for so long beforehand, where we could actually have had decent upgrades, it could have been the perfect time to add them now…
but with the jump of ship performance, how gameplay behaves in the game as of right now, more meta armored ships ONTOP of being better, and the disregard of rewards and distance firing not existing,
All throw a single form meta, or fake ships that don’t have any real scale, and compression.
I advocated for one RN battleship per update for a year, thanks Gaijin implemented so.
But now the US navy feels like skipped a lot of designs, for example Lexington class battlecruiser should be around here, Colorado should have come updates earlier and they could have added the south dakota class alongside nelson and dunkerques
You know, I was originally against fake ships too—especially since the prototypes and paper designs like planes and tanks were being removed. But seeing the R2Y2s taken out really made me reconsider. It’s unfortunate to lose such unique and domestic designs. It would be a shame to see even more copy-and-paste content added to the game, especially when it comes to naval units.
or tanks, or planes if you really want to stretch the bar… the problem was all money and resources, and as long as they actually keep it balanced and not make them premiums so you “really” cannot touch them after they are implemented.
there is quite a lot of things you can add… just battleships/ships took the most…
kinda like EV trucks, EV motorcycles, EV bicycles, EV mobility scooters, and how much resources (battery wise) it takes, and how the same amount of resources could build X amount of the “lower kinds”
it def needs to be community helped/ assisted and nothing of what war thunder does for balancing for those types of “paper vehicles”/“wood mock up”
