Sovetsky Soyuz: Red Oceans

I just leave those match types/modes (when I was still playing before they ruined Naval Arcade). Most worthless pathetic mode ever.

I don’t mean that kind of rewarding. I mean the satisfaction of blasting your way out of a group of 5-6 enemy gunboats, sinking them all with autocannons, torpedoes, and depth charges in one frenetic hurricane!

Can’t wait to take a pre-ww1 dreadnaught up against these bloody things. And yeah, that map design is the most lazy, worthless thing ever. It’s only saving grace is it helps with the other lazy thing in that all the ships don’t spawn on top of each other and cause a pile-up in spawn.

A V4 tree would have been so perfect. Totally a lost opportunity.

Unless the enemy boat in question is the one with detailed model like Flower-class or French sub-chaser, which in this case you got screwed. Idk why these ridiculously OP ships sat at such a low rank and BR to begin with.

That is true, but a torpedo or two is usually enough to sink those with relative rapidity.

Well, good luck trying to sneak in that close without getting one-shotted from 3 km away I guess.

The Pr.123k in question:

Another naval vehicle… When will the trailer drop?

Hell yeah, a bunch of boats on land. Land ships if you will

I like it, but Stalin’s dream ships were dreams for a reason, technologically the ships were doable, just not for Russia, but to get such insane features, the ship also sacrificed structural integrity. One aspect of this was that it was speculated that they may have cracked in half upon launch. Armour would aid this, however using Face-hardened instead of cemented would further exacerbate the issue. Idk I like it, but I don’t think this one quite makes it all the way into reality for me.

It’s more like if you planned to convert a container ship into an arsenal ship and then never added any of the VLS or radars etc… sovetsky had no real combat-components of the ships installed.

Idk it just pains me that Russia will have this phenomenal ship, because people were too afraid to tell stalin it wouldn’t work. Like had the ship have been completed, then launched and cracked in half upon launch… would it even have been introduced?

I think if all nations were getting something comparable (that we know of) and for example the US got Montana, the UK G3 16.5", Italy littorio UP.41, and France alsace, i’d be a bit happier.

There isn’t enought players who plays planes at those tiers to matter but yes.

Try with 96%+ to be totally safe.

Add H39 into the mix and you have the next naval update after this

Yes I forgot H-39. Good catch. Bismarck may struggle also like Vanguard but at least her armour will hold up.

The attention naval needs is in regards to fundamental issues with it’s design, not bigger and bigger boats.

Make a working gamemode first, then players will come. Not the other way around.

Could Italy get anything?

I’m all for more naval stuff but three blogs in a row is a little excessive
especially since you refuse mention anything in regards to decompression

That’s Littorio UP.41. It’s very much paper, but I think for Italy and France the laid-down rule should be waived.

It was a design from Italy for the Soviets though the Soviets would choose their own Sovetsky Soyuz design and steal the Italian Pugliese design.

Basically it’s a Littorio with 16" guns, they’d probably be very high penetration guns given the Italian 15" was insane.

The problem is that even more people have stopped playing naval throught last couple of years. I am one of them who enjoyed so much playing naval, but I don’t play anymore. The fictional super powerful Kronshtadt at that time, after other disapoitment decisions by developers and introduction top tier US ships which serve as practice targets, was the end of naval gameplay for me.
And when I see this Sovetsky Sojuz ship I can only laugh. I will still play naval only to get Bismarck and Yamato when they comme and thats it.
I just take my ships to test drive and enjoy looking them. Because I love war ships more then anything in game and have them almost all in USA, Japan, Germany and British Tech tree
And once upon a time when coastal and bluewater ships were not separated, and a year or two after that, this game was a real pleasure to play and full of players.
Sorry for the inconvenience and happy gaming
