I might consider returning to naval too, the only ship event I bothered to grind out was the Barham event, cause I’m only interested in the British Naval tree, I got a good amount of playtime during that event, but even after giving it a good try naval just isn’t the greatest mode, it really needs a major overhaul at minimum

I think Naval could really benefit from an EC-Like gamemode on a very, verrryyy large map. Would make the gaggle of a current naval battle much more manageable and it would incentivize working with your team, primarily because you could get a small group together, maybe 2-4 ships, and move as a unit rather than the free for all that is the actual mode.
Personally, I’m mostly interested in Japanese and German ships (because they look the best imo) but I love British ships. Though, I would definitely swap trees if they gave us a Swedish naval tree (GAIJOOB! GIVE ME THE HSwMS SVERIGE, AND MY DOUBLOONS ARE YOURS!)
Tho, this definitely makes Swedish Naval a littttlleeee uhh, outta the picture

You can also add Finland, Norway, Iceland and Denmark as subtrees (maybe the Baltics too at a stretch).
My bad

Naval has ALOT of potential, it’s just gaijin refuses to grab it by the balls

That too, I always forget about the other Scandinavian nations, which, Sweden should really just be a Scandinavian “regional tree”
Gaijin might also be a little bit lazy, ships are the largest and most meticulous models they have to make, when compared to aircraft and tanks, which they mostly use 3D scans for (don’t quote me on that, i dont actually knoe hoe accurate that is)

At least check Google search results before posting.
Koelian, Ho-Ri, and R2Y2s are ships since when? None of them except maybe Ho-Ri had prototypes made.
If we applied ship adding standards to ground, ground and air prototypes flat out wouldn’t be allowed in War Thunder. [This is addressing your later post demanding consistency.]
So by all means demand all prototypes in War Thunder be removed because you’re upset that an unfinished production ship is being added, you won’t make friends though.
Bit hostile
You are correct that these haven’t reached a functioning prototype, but the flakpanzer 341 kinda blurs the line as it’s turret was a mockup but it used a functioning panther hull

Yeah, it does.
I think a lot of Naval haters hate it not from what it is, but from what it was and most barely tried to play it

Most people hate Naval because you can’t consistently one-shot everything and you have significantly less maneuverability compared to a tonk or plen, making you have to actually employ tactics while playing

Yep, naval takes far more skill imo

Bit rude dont you think?
its fine to add prototypes/unfinished stuff but at least be consistent read just a LITTLE more down if u may if thats adequate enough for someone of your status as a gaijin boot licker

Ground is just repitition with very few people actually using diverse playstyles (and when they do, the AMX-13 goes up another BR), and air is just up to whoever has more ARHs rn
I think Gaijin should embrace protoypes more, they add much more uniqueness to the game and 90% of the time they don’t hurt anything, imo the R2Y2s were fine.
I’d also love if Gaijin could add prototypes that may not have carried weapons (due to not being adopted) to the game with “what-if?” loadouts based on the weapons of the time and constraints of the platform (GAIJIN PLEASE GIVE ME THE FUNNY VTOL MIRAGE)

Exactly we already have stuff as a “what if” (Yak-141 being the bullied child in this example)
Another example, Yak9K - Yes it can use the APHE however irl it effectively shagged the engine when it fired. but in WT? haha funny aphe go brrr (engine is perfectly fine)
so why cant we have more of it. Eventually they’ll slowly lose main content, like modern stuff etc. So this can be a good filler and honestly pretty nice piece of history for enthusiests

What pains me is how ridiculous the gap is between these three ships and what everyone else is getting.
I personally have no particular liking for either yamato, iowa or this pile of garbage and thus do not intend to play them. I feel absolutely shafted as a UK/Italy player seeing something like this get added. Like, wtf is Vanguard supposed to do against a 63k ton ship ?? Just lay down and die ???

Any reason why naval still exist?

Naval was always supposed to exist.
It’s been part of War Thunder’s plans since 2012.
Air, ground, and navy all in one game.
You think profits drive anything other than making their dream a reality?

Gajin sees naval as either
A: Profitable enough to keep updating
B: Valuable enough to keep competitors out
C:A potential for growth with investment
I leave the decision to gajin, not you
