Wargame Red Dragon introduced naval combat to the series with all the bells and whistles. ECM, missiles, CIWS, SM-6s shooting down Moskits.
It was the worst game experience i ever had.
Why? The gameplay eventually boiled down to overwhelming the enemy CIWS with enough missiles to bring down the ship.
You could do this with massed aircraft attacks, or massed ship salvos.
Planes however eventually died down due to CAP and enemy air defense, so in lengthier games, it was all about spamming the cheapest ship with most ASM and just rushing the enemy and overwhelming his defense that way.
WT modern naval gameplay would be IMO unplayable because unless you will have full coordinated squad, you will never overwhelm the enemy CIWS with single ship.
So eventually these modern ships will fight with guns again, and this will make anyone not fielding Soveremeny/Udaloy easy picking.
Improved armour, 98 extra 25mm AA guns and an improved shell… that’s a very significant improvement. Once again the best ship in the class is premium while the TT version is in it’s oldest, most basic configuration.
Mutsu needs to be updated with her 1936 refit if this is being added. Having to buy $80 premiums to play ships in their actual wartime configurations is disgusting.
Would you gonna fix matchmaker that creates uneven teams in naval, were team of 8.0 facing team of 8.7, when even 0.3 BR difference in naval combat is way significant then in air or ground?
Little late, but its (I assume) because a full size mockup of Nagato was made for, and “starred” as the central set for the movie Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970). Hence the decal having that phrase instead of Niitaka yama nobore.
In 1945 she had a camo consisting of; Kure Grey base coat, with sort of earthy green splotches on the hull and light grey “stripes” going up the superstructure. No blue, brown, or black anywhere, though the USNTMJ claims brown and black were used… somewhere.
