Meh, I don’t care enough anymore. Either the devs don’t care, or the managers/mods are not communicating the conversations happening on the forums. Either way, I have spent enough of my time trying, I will just continue to play other games until they feel like reaching out to me/us. The ball is in their court, they just simply wont get any further play time or money from me until they choose to at the minimum have a meaningful conversation about Naval battles, specifically Arcade.
I greatly appreciate the time and effort many of you guys are putting in to improve the situation, and I try to like and comment on the positive/constructive posts and/or suggestions. I am just too frustrated at this point to push the issue myself anymore.
$80, for whats just going to be another 7.0 in a mode Gaijin keeps absolutely destroying with unpopular changes that were never voted on
While I think the ships are cool, it just is not worth it to purchase either seeing as how bad Naval’s compression is rn and the current state of Naval Arcade
I’ll actually be surprised if anyone purchases these
Hell, whats worse is that you’d probably have a more enjoyable time just purchasing the Nassau or Zeleznyakov, of course, unless you play arcade
With all of this, I dread to think what they’ll chose for premium for the French navy…
Optimal scenario would be giving the Clémenceau as a premium to grind the tree. Base ship without modern refit and a slightly different secondary loadout. Ideal.
Not so optimal but still viable would be one of the Normandie class. Inferior guns but lots of them.
Worst case scenario : Jean Bart in its 1950’s refit. Crippling the entire tech tree by locking the most powerful warship France had at the time behind a paywall.
Given the recent decisions made by Gaijin when it comes to premiums and packs, I’m not optimistic.
Otherwise I agree with many others here. Entire naval game mode needs a massive overhaul before we should even start mentioning new ships.
They already kneecapped French naval content with the choice of picking the Strasbourg as an event ship, so I kinda doubt that France will have any top tier content to justify the grind tbh.
So, unless Gaijoob moved away from the “one unique ship per refit” thing, I don’t think there will be any alternative option.
Gaijin could have taken the lazy way out and done this:
Or alternatively, this so-called “Pre-order - KMS Gneisenau Pack” should have been an actual pack that featured the Gneisenau in different configurations:
1.) as launched
2.) historical 1940 configuration
3.) final 1942 configuration
4.) the planned 380 mm refit
And even then, pixels should not be worth $79.99
I was referring specifically to the battle of Jutland where her rudder jammed and she sailed out towards the High Seas Fleet resulting in a large number of them using her for target practice. She took 15 hits but only lost 14 crew and 16 wounded.
Yes, that’s the core issue is how OP the ship is, even if it was added with her actual guns as a premium it would be bad enough having it spammed out. So yeah I’m a bit salty about it and being hyperbolic with some of my examples.
Damn! I was wondering tho: can we please have destroyer, cruiser, battleship seperate lines like the Bomber line and fighter lines? If Gaijin was as half as good as Wargaming in WoWs than naval would not have 5 players.
BTW: Pre-order in Gaijin’s language means: “Pre-order a really good-looking and good-performing ship that we’ll nerf as soon as it is out 'cuase German”.
Yep, happened to me too. Attempted to make a couple suggestions, they were rapidly shot down with no explanation. PMing the relevant staff got me no response. You love to see it.
they are listening, but more to the sales numbers than people complaining
if the number of sales stays higher than the complaints then nothing will change
