Planned Naval Battle Ratings Decompression

I think they also factor in the actual statistics of player performance in arcade. I feel like the change would be reverted if it pushed more people away from naval than it pulled in

I certainly enjoy playing arcade naval as it brought my father into playing it.

It would seem so, but they’re also moving some of the 6 0 ships up, although that doesn’t entirely mitigate the issue.

Unless US Battleships are getting a reload buff, I don’t understand why the Scharnhorst has a lower BR.

We could also just remove the naval aiming systems that are allowing players in ALL ships to just play as aimbots.

You would think, but naval arcade player count has been down since the change.

i see no point in lowering some ships tier from VI to V (like uss texas) to make even harder to unlock tier VII. whit those changes you need to research all tier VI ships to unlocok tier VII, and i find this an unless encreise in grind time. plase recosider those tiers moving o to lower the number of ships needed to unloack tier VII to max ships in rank VI minus 1, (for example if there are 5 ships in rank VI you need only 4 to unloack tier VII)

effectively, the only beneficiaries are reserve tier destroyers and top tier coastal

You answered your own question. They want you to buy premium ships to level, so they’ll move as many down as they can to accomplish that goal.

In my opinion, a big reason for naval compression is that naval BRs are tied to aircraft BRs. Thank you for adjusting the aircraft BRs.

I’d like to see naval in its own separate BR system entirely in the future, with aircraft BR’d accordingly.

Heavy cruisers.

We needed more decompression especially at cruser level, light crusers and destroyers don’t have a place to fighting vs battelships with relatively fast relods and good armor.

And not moveing the havy German cruises up is baffling. Move eugen and hipper up to 6.3 without any problems.

Is the russian kerch also going to 5.3 in rb? it’s a clone of the 2 italian lights pretty much.

theres no place in war thunder for heavy cruisers to fight battleships. The gap is even bigger than top dds fighting heavy cruisers.

The highest br cruisers like des moines should sit at 6.7 with the earliest battleships and battlecruisers joining at 7.0

Now do it for Air

No no no, the long reload alone is enough reason to keep it where it is. It would get shredded by 3.7 destroyers otherwise

When most of top DDs are already 5.3, some cruisers are still 5.3, even 5.0?

the turtleback alone makes scharn the best ship for the BR. the only way to kill it right now is to set a fire to a turret and pray it spreads to and detonates the magazine before being put out. it would do just fine at 7.7. only reason it could stay at 7.3 is if they made bigger maps where the turtleback becomes useless due to shells being able to plunge into the deck properly.

@Smin1080p_WT Hi, I noticed the italian ship Eugenio di Savoia is going down to 5.3, But her premium sister in the russian tree, Kerch will remain in 5.7 despite not having differences in firepower and protection, is this correct?

Not so sure what Decompression you’re talking about when almost every ship in every BR is moving up

Mode: Naval Arcade & Realistic Battles

Ship: Imperatritsa Mariya

Change: 6.7 → 7.3

Reasoning: I don’t know the reasoning behind the Mariya’s rate of fire buff, but keeping her at where she was is insanity. She is already good at the compressed BR where she doesn’t get to fight cruisers often and with ~40 second reload. So buffing her rof to be around the same as Von Der Taan will inevitably make her far too strong. So I suggest she should be moved up to avoid having her farming cruisers.
