So the properly first naval focused update in a long long time,

shame the current implementation of naval is extremely poor, I might play it if it wasn’t so arse,

maybe start with fixing BR compression and then the exorbitant cost to research and purchase coastal ships,

that and by giving it a healthy rework, not unneeded ones like the arcade aiming change, with naval its always 2 steps forward 2 steps back, some aspects get better but another area gets buggered

Well then if in the end the comment isn’t added, I shall post it here. (E, of course it didn’t, as expected as usual an excited comment left not added.).

Website posted comment:

Ahh yeaaaaah, finally I shall have the largest FNFL unit in my lineup, time to raise the Free French flag from her stern flag pole. Sidenote aviators must be wondering when they’ll finally see an aircraft.

(last part removed since there’s no pre-moderation here).

Forum post comment:

Currently the heaviest FNFL ship is the Super Dreadnought Battleship Lorraine but the Battleship Richelieu takes the podium now & it looks so glorious to finally see such a ship.

Suggested Question:

On a slightly related note, when might we see Vichy French emblems, markings or flags added in game?Since this vessel served with them before changing sides during the second world war (only Vichy French emblems are on the skin for the Douglas DB-7 aircraft, also still not in the french TT & the Lioré et Olivier 451 Late iirc).

Edit, No.1: Fixed spelling errors, Added seperation for comments & thoughts.

There are more ships coming out this update than people play Naval 🧐

You mean the mode that handily has the most players, meanwhile Naval is a bot-infested desolate space ?

Only thing that’s as dead as Naval is Sim.

What BR is it going to be?

Question remains whether she will have access to and carry both French AP and American AP.

So what you are saying is that the devs should invest the most dev time into the least popular gamemodes like Air Sim and Naval to improve them and encourage more players to play them and thus expand their customer base with players coming over from other games to play War Thunder instead?

Sounds good to me, definetly stop adding new ground vehicles and maps and invest time and effort into air and naval

While I’m mostly invested in the UK fleet, I’m happy that the french finally get thier big battleship added this update.

Hey u stole my image 😡

Because the fact that you don’t care doesn’t mean there’s no other people who does care it and doesn’t care what you care about, just like this world doesn’t revolve around you.

I don’t care about ground, I don’t go on ground dev blogs complaining about them

Would agree that Naval needs a rework yes. But the issue is how would you?

Easy. Start by undoing the horrid changes made to Naval Arcade, then have an actual conversation with the Naval community. It’s not rocket science.
