What is on everyone's 2024 wish list for naval?

this is the one ship i want for the british above all else and knowing it got passed to the devs 3 years ago, it makes me hopeful, even if it arrives 7 years from now

When December comes around could the OP please edit the title by replacing ‘2024’ with ‘2025’? Y’know, so we don’t all end up writing the same stuff again.

the what? lol

but i will still writing “Delete it” for 2025’s

They were the Neptune class, and apparently never laid down in a shipyard, so are not eligible to be in WT as I understand it.

He’s referring to the Minotaur class of 1947 (the immediate successor to the Neptune design). Which could arguably be called “partially built” on account 6 turrets for them being completed (albeit ended up installed on the Tiger class cruisers instead). That would be a stretch since no actual hull was laid down, but Tiger and her sisters’ turrets were specifically intended for the unbuilt Minotaur originally.

Thanks - yes I managed to miss that article!! :/

But same conclusion - nothing ever laid down in a slipway, so currently not eligible for inclusion in WT.

the Tiacondra class guided missile cruiser

Oh a Ticonderoga-class lol

No, the harpoon cruisers are not suitable for game yet

who said it had to have harpoons?
just give it anti-air vls launchers.

No point in doing that with dozens of SAM destroyers and cruisers that can be added in their full capability

is anyone else having the problem of activity not registering on the squadron board for squad vehicles ? … a few in my squad have reported it no one has said it is not a problem for them

better coastal ships and missile cruisers

Definitely Submarines and ASW Warfare aircraft and ships.
Seaplane tenders and aircraft carriers.
More gamemodes.
Addition of dutch ships in the french coastal tree and Bluewater tree.
More cold war ships with SAM and Anti Ship Missiles.

Not to be pretentious but the QEs for Britain please please

i even wrote a suggestion :)

Personally I think that without a full gamemode separation the current naval and Cold War naval will not work together. At all. Guided AShMs would have no counterplay by the big battleships (ironically this is perfectly demonstrating what made the BBs obsolete) and so the gamemode wouldn’t be as fun anymore for those playing the older ships.

Dutch tree if implemented would have a unique ship for every BR from 3.3 to 5.7. Definietely would be nice to see.

Im not so much hyped for subs and carriers. I feel like, in wt gun battle settings, they would be very much on the losing side. I would love to see more airplane tenders tho and mixed carriers.

What are mixed carriers?

A proper translation would be hybrid carrier, apologies.

It is basically any gun focused ship that was partially repurposed into an aircraft carrier, like hyuga for example. I think there was a swedish and british cruisers that were refitted in such way and few other designs that could be implemented.

We need a tick-box to let you research coastal by playing bluewater ships.

There’s a similar mechanic to research helis with ground vehicles. They’d just need to copy over the functionality.

Coastal grind is atrocious given the poor RP gain by playing coastal combined with the high RP cost of the ships. Letting us grind out the coastal trees by playing bluewater would be nice. Even early-tier coastal feels absolutely miserable, especially British where your main weapon is just rifle caliber MGs with awful turret traverse limits, meaning all you do is tickle your opponents, die, get like 73 RP from the entire match, etc.

Thanks for the clarification.
