Why are there missiles in WWII naval battles?

I’m tired of playing BR 4.7 and later and dying to missiles I can’t do anything about. It’s discouraging to play like this: you’re in a piston-engine plane at 8000 meters altitude and a missile comes out of nowhere. I can’t dodge it or destroy it, and the player is hidden behind a mountain and can still see all the enemies. I’m considering never playing naval battles again since it’s frustrating to fight against something you can’t counter.

Because gaijin refuses to add proper anti-ship missiles so they add surface to air missiles and balance them as anti-ship missiles

They would have to put them in a separate mode from WWII vehicles

Nope, just at an appropriate br

I feel that majority of the USSRs stuff needs to be moved up some BRs. Specifically Coastal!

And make coastal worse just for one nation instead of properly balancing everything and on top of that adding a proper coastal battles matchmaking which is a factor that could improve the general experience in this branch of vessels?

Because there is no such thing as WW2 naval battles

False - the missiles all leave massive smoke trails are are pretty easy to dodge in anything smaller than a Pe-8/B-17/Lancaster

lol good luck dodging the S125 with a 20m proxy fuze

It manoeuvres like a greased hippo on ice - it is relatively easy to dodge… won’t work all the time but in any single engined a/c you should manage it 50% of the time or more
