Yep, its my hope that with more bluewater ships being added we’ll get more top tier maps in the 15-20km range.

I’d support larger maps but I think it creates a lot of difficult to solve balance issues. I’m not sure if it would be better or worse than the current system that effectively invalidates most non turtleback armor schemes though. I’d like to see EC type maps and objectives in regular play but I’m also not holding my breath
Sad story, seems like in test server, Rondey’s 16inch gun’s reloading time is 46s :(
cant iowa class get hits somehwat constiently at that range though? bc of radar raneginders and FCS and all that
Beyond a certain distance getting a hit comes down mostly to luck due to dispersion, with a larger target to shoot making it easier. Iowas had very good fire control but at 20km it doesn’t matter how good your fcs is, a good salvo is landing one shell on target and you’ll completely miss probably about as often as you score that single hit.
that dosnt imply we will get the Iowa or bismark yet more likely they will add the USS North Carolina IMHO as its a step towards the Iowa in a way

I would argue the Bismarck is a famous battleship
didnt say it wasnt but they would be at br 9.0 at least IMHO, so some stuff would need to come before those battleships just to fill the gaps. (yes 9.0 would make sense historically if it was given its vietnam model"
I know I’m just making a silly joke don’t worry X)
I’m sure a lot more battleships are still yet to come as you said, I look forward to playing them too, do you think a 7th Rank would be necessary for those two though?
bismark probably not since its air defences are … lacking to say the least. but the Iowa in its ww2 configuration would prob be 7.0 max 9.0 would be a refit, cause that gets CIWIS and tomahawks and harpoons… 6.0 would probably be good for the bismark just cause of its AA capabilities considering its fate
For the love of God, no. A new rank is never necessary. All it does is artificially increase the grind for 0 gain.

It will have to increase , sorry to tell you that , might as well make the grind a bit worse but they gonna have to spead it out. As of now 7.0 is super compressed. With 6.0 vehicle getting dunked on for not being good enough. And as for any of the end of the line , I am even expecting them to be rank 9 or even rank 10. Cause by god I do not want them to just dunk on interwar ship
Like I said, rank is the most irrelevant feature of the game. It exists entirely to make the grind longer, and sell premiums. You can easily decompress rank 6 without adding a new rank. Literally just move the 7.0s to 7.3/7.7/8.0. There’s no reason to artificially increase the grind just to decompress.
They could get rid of ranks entirely and nobody would notice.

I think the issue here is the definitions. One of you is talking about battle rating and one of you is talking about rank/tier.
Sorry should have clarified it clearer , my bad
But it is gaijin we talking about , the create problem and sell the solution. Rank system is a part of BR and BR is a part of Rank. They answer to each other cause Gaijin made it so , there is no way gaijin gonna do BR and not do Rank, especially with Naval

Agreed. This is my post from when they added Rank VI.
I agree, the rank system just means we need more research point to research a new ship. More research points means more times, it turns us to Gaijin’s slave.
For the CIWS, Russian’s pr.68A already have AK620 CIWS, but it still in BR6.0. But the truth is now the AA system in game only can intercept the planes , not the missiles, even can’t use the radar to lock incoming missile. And a funny thing is, obviously Gaijin have the real missile model in game, but just can’t lock by naval radars.
