Why would i want to use a plane when i have my ship

Unless the ship has bad AA, you can put in all the effort and skill you want you are not getting an effective bomb off, and im talking about ships generally above 3.7, some early destroyers have effectively no AA and are free kills (I have abused this in arcade to do some BP challange in the past).
SPAA with proxy is 9.0 in GRB, yet some ships get it at 3.3 in naval, either gaijin need to do what battlestaions pacific did and give you a squad of AI planes that you can switch between or just get rid of air in naval altogether.

The point of proxy was to stop planes, cant be helped if its actually effective

Because its fun to use anti-ship guided bombs and anti-ship torpedoes against the targets they were designed against, after you have run out of ships to spawn.
There is nothing more adrenaline-fuelled in this pile of * naval than going full speed 5-8 meters above the surface of the sea and making it through the flak to drop that single torp and hit the ammo rack.

Ships in real life were attacked by squads of planes at the same time, in game its 1 planes being lit up by a couple of destroys AA.
I really think they should go the battlestaions pacific route, it will actually help ships that have better AA and worse guns at some BRs to have more game impact, and most importantly it will make the game more fun.
Also the code is in the game from the SP missions.

Most fun use for the missile will be swatting cruiser float planes (plus reserve PT boats) at battle start that are hard to hit even with VT at extreme ranges.

Can they even Pen BS armour, I have been hit by many torps in BS and they mostly do nothing.

The issue is the vast majority of people spawn slow, large bombers, which im sorry are gonna be easy to hit with anything
For example 2 pe-8s spawned back to back after seeing another plane get demolished (a he-111) expecting a different result for flying straight

They can, just not easy finding the right spot

Ok let them, give them a formation of bombers and watch them all get wrecked will be nice to watch, base idea is give air spawns a squad of planes now instead of 1 and to rebalance BRs around this. I’m going to go make a post asking for this now.

Not sure what to think about more ships with SAMs getting added.
Hopefully this means that we’ll get more chaff carrying planes for use in naval battles and more AShMs in general

Russia already had a missile destroyer, now USA gets one. USA already had a coastal missile boat, now USSR is getting one. Other nations should follow suit. Chin up.

I’d like this one. Hamburg class destroyer with 4x auto turrets and two 3x ASW rocket launchers. Would be great at current game meta. They also got refit later on, with one turret removed for ASM launchers.

I hope other nations can eventually get SAM destroyers

Looking forward to grind this one.
