I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, decompression in both research and BR would be very nice. But more powerful ships are the last thing naval needs right now. Naval needs more polishing and improving and balancing of the core game and TT gap fillers(where’s my Derflingger class battlecruiser Gaijin?), not more powercreep.
Also these premium battleships are just going to make the botting issue even worse. How are you going to deal with that? Will the last month’s ban list nuke 2000+ botting accounts or something like that?
…I do sort of think that padding the two already best nations for naval with two more premium ships (especially battleships) maybe might be a bit of a bad idea
Even more so when there’s been a nation that just had their naval tree released that’s severely in need of competent vessels…
$70 is pricy for what you get especially since we seem to be both speeding towards and past super dreadnoughts.
Even when we get decompression I expect these will still encounter some of the monsters like Scharnhorst and Kronshtadt on the norm and spending that much for their experience of being beaten to a pulp by those I worry won’t help with the lagging player base.
I appreciate how well detailed and modeled ships are in this game compared to other naval based games but thats still a very pretty penny to spend for modernized early dreadnoughts.
Algerie, Dunkerque/Strasbourg, and La Galissoniere would make the French navy much more interesting yeah… Make people buy more premium time and vehicles to grind them as well. French navy is really unpopular rn because there aren’t any good ships.
This exactly, I really hope they actually have something lined up to try and fix the botting problem if they’re trying to sell us rank 5 premium battleships…
Very bad decision to make Tier VI in naval in such way. And especially bad decision to add premium BBs now. And that’s why:
Bot users problem isn’t solved. Now we’ll get bot users on BBs! And with current level of their aim-bot they can aim direct to ammo rack. So gameplay on cruisers will be destroyed, because vast majority of 6.7 online will contain bot users on BBs. Before add premium BBs, bot users should be banned, and some algorithms to determine suspicious activity should be added.
Problem of too many time to research ships won’t be solved. To solve it, you should have to move cruisers from Tier V to Tier IV, and to make folders with sister-ships.
It’s great that the community is expressing their concern over premium battleships, but is no one going to ask about the backstory of that bricks and fences camouflage the Marat has?
Worth noting it was called St. Petersburg for 200 years before Czar Nicholas II renamed it Petrograd in 1914 (to remove any German reference) and before the communists renamed it Leningrad in 1924 (to pay homage to Lenin after his death). St. Petersburg was founded in 1703 by Tsar Peter the Great.
Yeah I hope adding Rank VI and slightly reducing RP needed wasnt the proposed progression rework from the roadmap. The techtrees are truly in need of a rework and it would be best to split the modern fleet from the ww2 fleet and put them in seperate gamemodes. It just feels so weird shooting missiles in a game with ww1 / ww2 battleships. There are some really good proposals out there to do this and I hope they decide to look into it.
And yes, the current Coastal grind is really bad. Especially with ships at the top that are more often then not just worse then the reserve bluewater fleet. Meanwhile costing ~300.000 RP to research.
The Rank VI would have been nice… if i wasn’t playing the French Navy.
You see, i read that Gaijin will move the Lorraine to Rank VI and the thing is… i was wondering if i should buy the Dupleix or not.
I am close to have the Paris but if you move the Lorraine to rank VI, how the Dupleix could have any use for me then?
Our naval tree was just released and is severly lacking, i get that we are only an after though but come on, give us decent ships for their BR at least.
