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

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.

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)

but with no SAP or AP. Only HE

unfortunately they seem to have gone with the usual … never miss a chance to make a bad idea worse … instead of lowering the amount of noise from warnings they are just going to add to them … i guess more players will turn them down or off so they cannot hear any of them … really annoying you have to miss the needed ones but the rest are just unacceptable …

we are going to get more unwanted junk on the damage camera that few want as the mini map is often more useful and the more rubbish on the damage map means less time with the mini map

now we have to look at crew numbers as well … i guess that is even less time with the mini map available or more junk adding to the lag

they seem to have made the naval interface a lot worse over the last month or so ( torps going in all sorts of directions etc ) possibly so when they put it back to normal we finally have to admit that the naval game is better after the update than before

so it does not look like the naval game will get the major overhaul it needs … just a few possibly making it worse tweaks so it is still no better than it was in the beta
