IJN Takao. That would make me actually invest in Naval.
Then the rebalancing, decompression, better maps would make me want to play Naval fairly longterm, because as it stands from what I have played it has been a seesaw of being genuinely frustrated and genuinely disinterested.
My suggestion for some of that - feel free to comment, cause you raised some good points about the proximity of the Coastal Spawn on some of the maps :)
What do you mean? People are complaining about it all the time. If you want to vent:
The current best hint is to stop using AP/SAP and just shell it with HE munitions - you would be surprised by how effective it can be. Not as good as ammo-racking other ships, but still does the job.
HE works to some degree, but it is grossly inefficient compared to ammo-racking or crew depletion.
Yep. But it’s also by far more efficient than peppering it with AP.
Thats true, AP is quite literally pointless. You can’t pen anywhere you would need to in order to do damage.
This is literally my post :D
Don’t forget that while you are trying to sink scharn with he he can fire back, with insane 17 sec reload, and rush you with Torps in some maps
Let’s keep the Scharnhorst discussion to the Scharnhorst thread ;). But it’s nowhere near as simple once you start looking into DPM. Damage output/killing potential is a weakness of Scharn, not its strength.
It is definite strength as not all players and AI are battleship in battle, and Scharnhorst is absolutely monster at killing those things.
Type 055 and YJ-21
Probably coastal frigates being moved to bluewater and then having their BRs and repair cost be balanced against bluewater vessels instead of coastal boats
Rework on naval. More modern WWII ships, but for that to work, naval BR would have to be reworked or the mode itself would require restrictions where air BRs are seen differently when put in lineups with naval BR. I honestly can’t wait for Bismarck and Iowa classes but with how BR is going right now, those would likely be around 9.0 or 10.0. Which would have you seeing jet bombers and stuff in the lineup.
I want a complete and utter rework on naval maps themselves. Anything past 3.0 shouldn’t be seeing maps that you spawn in and immediately start shooting each other. We don’t need the extremes that we see in naval EC(Which I do enjoy though) but I do want to see bigger maps so when we do get our bigger ships we can have proper tactics instead of spawning in and immediately shooting.
More 16" guns too.
same
Anything swedish, especially coastal stuff.
Yeah jointed finnish-swedish coastal tree would be great. I wouldnt mind at all it being added before bluewater
Horizons but I know that isnt likely to happen
Id also like a costal only mode for higher tier costal so playing them isnt just “how long before a destroyer comes and obliterates me”
Add in the De Zeven Provincien and De Ruyter too, since we’re getting a BeNeLux tree for France.
Those, plus De Grasse as a possible Atlanta equivalent would be very nice additions to France’s cruiser lineup.
The Halland class would be absolutely evil
4x 40 RPM 120mm guns + Bofors 57’s. So you have double the firerate of an american DD, with far better ballistics because of the longer barrel.
Tre Kronor looks like it’d be a decent cruiser.
IDK where you’d put Väinämöinen and Ilmarinen/Sverige, though.
[Rework ammunition explode and drowned time is too fast]
I know, If you shoot direct hit to the ammo room it can explode but for the bomb?
I don’t know but does everyone feel like the ship explodes too easily? In every battleship, I bring ammo of only 144 shells and I get exploded with a single1000 lbs bomb (I play USS Alaska with full upgrade)
