Ladies and gentlemen, Naval in 2025.

It’s also kinda weird because as far as i can remember before they changed the bots to be not only low tier destroyers and pt boats and the hull compartment mechanics the queues weren that crazy. About maybe 5 minutes max to find a match, sometimes almost instant (on eu servers and i think even better when enabling other regions cause lag doesnt really matter much in naval), but with only like 5 players per team sometimes, which was fine especially on the open sea maps you wouldnt be instant targeted by 4 enemy players. Then it seems player numbers took a huge dip and now in preparation for the upcoming chonkers the numbers seem to go up again (me happy about that). Weird cause the addition of slower bb bots that dont just randomly speed into the caps and decide matches randomly was a good thing imo.
@Stona_WT @Smin1080p_WT Do I need to use bug report or forum section about this ship to report modelling problem, as this is neither in live nor dev server. It’s quite big mistake so I should tell Gaijin about this problem.

why you dont have all servers selected, you get a match in less than a minute
I said it before and I’ll say it again

yeah i also tend to forget because i constantly switch between modes and playing ground and air on servers in other regions with bad latency is just bad and unnecessary. they should add that your server selection gets saved for every mode (air and ground in eu for me, naval all) so you dont always have to doublecheck
thats in a squad, doing it alone i get it in about 2 mins
was in a full squad playing japan top tier blue water
the match maker tried to fit a 4 player squad despite most people playing alone
I play EU/NA and I haven’t seen a queue over six minutes in a couple years, 6 min is normally when they just dump the queue and make it a bot match.
You only get queues like that in my experience if you’re trying to play squadded in low traffic because it’s waiting for another squad to match you across from. YMMV.
Update: yep, as predicted, full 4-squad, off hours, 1 server only. I have the same problem in ground RB if my 4- squad wants to mix US Ger and Russia. You basically have to wait it out or convince someone to change the plan.

try get a full squad of the same nation x)
If you’re all the same squadron, run it unsquaded, you’ll all end up on the same side anyway.
Yeah sorry, there are ways to break the matchmaker. You found one.
Sound about right, 4 players squads are pretty rare in the matchmaker regardless if you are playing air, ground or naval, and the matchmaker will try to put another 4 player squad on the enemy team, or two 2 player squads to balance out the teams, so no surprise you were unable to find match then, even in air battles doing that gives you a very long queue time, only in ground you get a reasonable yet long queue for doing a 4 player squad, and you can turn it into a very long if you mix nations so the game basically gives up and creates a mixed nations match after some 10-15mins because it failed to find a normal team matchup under that criteria

your accuracy becomes worse the longer a game goes
They won’t model horrible accuracy, no way. Historically Kirov’s guns had about 30 second reload and awful accuracy, in game they are on par with every other ship in terms of accuracy and the reload is boosted to 15 seconds with untrained crew. Training the crew can decrease it further. Something, something, Russian bias.

I have zero doubt it will be an absolute monster on release with incorrect armour and a reload rate which its designers could only dream about.
It will be left this way for 6 months to a year before getting nerfed a bit.

should make it: “if timer hits 2 minutes 30s it’ll create a players vs bots match”
Thats it. Nothing installed. Just laid down. I bet it will be an ingame monster, with all of Stalins fantasies and dreams come true. While irl they couldn’t even produce cemented ship armor or guns which won’t be worn out after 5 shots. The barrel wear was insane, the concept never could have been realized.

30 minutes with a squad of 4 in naval playing the same nation
The B-37 took part in the defense of Leningrad, fired 81 shots and was not worn out. After the war, it remained in operational as a testing facility.
