@Stona_WT Any information on when the broken ship ammunition will get fixed?? All ships primary ammunition has been replaced with extremely low numbers which don’t make sense. And as far as I am aware was not advertised on any changelogs or tested. Whilst secondary armaments stayed normal.

Could we please get a fix soon, as many of us Naval players no longer have any idea exactly how many shells we are using of what type. And how that will increase or decrease the risk of ammunition explosions being ship crippling???

What does 140/140 mean in context to 3360 shells???

It’s completely disorientating, and now I have no clue what I used to set my ammunition too? Have all of our previous selections of ammunition been wiped by accident with this bug???

Many of us Naval Players have been used to the mechanic which is identicle to tank warfare and bombers to choose how much ammunition we want to carry, and therefore risk.

makes up for all that time sweden had pretty anemic CAS capabilities

On a seperate note, do we have news as to when Naval can expect tow ropes back? Entire communities died overnight due to it’s unscheduled and non-advertised removal all those updates ago.

There are many situations on maps where I am playing with my squadron mates, and someone makes a mistake in where they sailed. Now I am right next to them so originally I could just grab them with the rope, and reverse them easily out of the situation. But now the only option is for them to do 3-point parking maneuvers that evolve to 10+ back and forths. Or they purposefully beach themselves so we can finally attach a rope.

Is the “low number” not actually low? I think that number you’re seeing refers to “sets” of shells. So if you set your ammo to 12, and have 6 guns, you will now have 72 shells. It refers to salvos I guess.

We spent years since the ships being added, painfull learning the exact number of shells we want to run in our loadouts out of the hundreds of battleships.

So having it if you are correct reduced to salvo’s which is extremely difficult to quantify is just…baffling.

No Navy in the world as far as I am aware, stock ships or restock themselves based on “salvo’s”.

Well I mean, it’s not that hard. You don’t need to even keep track to how many cannons your ship has. Simply put, the number of shells you select now, is how many times you want to fire each cannon.

There should be an option to switch to this very confusing system or turn it off like the new wierd preset fire system.

People like my self with disabilities involving memory, are extremely confused and unsure as how to play our ships now.

Time for some bullying with the A-10A early, and A-10C orbital bombardment time for SL

I prefer my 7.0 US ground lineup with A2D-1, that makes good money.

If we were made aware of this change far before the update, we would have pertitioned against the hard lock change. Or atleast given us time to try and write down all of our selection numbers. Since we cannot remember what we used to use on all of our favourite vessels.

@Stona_WT

Listen, when you look at the number when selecting shells, just imagine it’s how many salvos you fire, with one salvo being all cannons fired. It’s easier than the last system, where you had to correctly select how many shells for how many cannons you had, and then multiply that by however many times you think you would be firing.

I wish I could do gun runs in an A-10, I’m thinking I’d just get blasted out of the sky by a missile every time though.

surprisingly my 12.0 line up with the A-10C is actual quite effective side climb with max GBU-38 and 6 AGM-65D’s and just bully their spawn with a cluster bomb and just take out tanks with AGM. Sadly only gun runs i get are on the A-10Early since the player base for ground at that BR are very dumb ):

You know, I really wish they wouldn’t flood the SL crates with a bunch of boosters, orders, and wagers. Or leave those and at least increase the odds. It wouldn’t hurt your company to give away vehicles for free, hell, you guys don’t even give any opportunities to earn GE for free, not even from the SL crates.

I spent close to 3 mil and got nothing.
