Like seriously why isn’t there a box at the bottom of bluewater to transfer rp to coastal like there is for ground and helicopters? Coastal is just as bad as heli grind before we had the option to use ground for it. Low tier coastal takes literal ages for que to pop, and when it does its like 2v2 with the rest of players being bots. Bluewater is barely any better, I played a bit of 5.3, and 7.0 bluewater last week and it was just half the match being bots, maybe if players could actually get coastal RP with bluewater some of that would resolve itself at least temporarily.
Gaijin at this point surely you have milked all the naval whales that just use GE to buy coastal vessels to skip the atrocious grind.
The only reason I can think of is that they want people to buy 6000GE coastal premiums instead of 250GE bluewater premiums to grind the coastal tree with
Havent tried in progress but I do check all servers. The other problem is once you get above like 3.0 you are fighting bluewater ships and coastal vessels are relegated to capping points pretty much and the grind even with premium vessels becomes maybe worse than heli PVE ever was.
It’s more that helicopters are lacking their proper own gamemode, only recently have they gotten heli PvE and it has it’s own issues.
Coupled with their cost, the general economy issues, and the fact that even in ground battles helicopters have very limited effectiveness, they are nearly impossible to efficiently grind.
While these issues are mirrored to some extent by coastal vessels, they avoid the time of life based reward issue since you can first spawn them, which is enough to make them grindable, albeit being an absolute pain.
There is no “Costal VS Costal” mode after a certain BR, so the only difference is the lower BR range for costal. If was one tree and it could be one tree.
But a Rank 5 costal at 3.7 for 5k GE is more alluring for gaijin than a Rank 3 one for 1k GE.
Simple as that
The Irony is that I probably would play some of the later stuff and would definetly enjoy having a Type 21 frigate (when they get added) as part of my bluewater line-up, but just grinding through 2.7 at the moment and its a slog, if I could skip the next few ships by grinding them with bluewater instead, id probably actually play more coastal than I do currently.
But the top tier coastal premiums would never get purchased
Im stuck in 2.x before I gave up, even at 3.7 half your lobby is bots, and you got like 10k rp for 13 kills with premium granted when i was doing coastal bots didnt give full rp so im sure that helps now.
Like morvran said there is no coastal matches above like what 2.7 3.0? You have to fight bluewater ships which love to go bully in the kiddie pool. I just want some coastal ships to bring to 7.0 besides the event and premium ones I have.
There is just random “costal” match above 3.0, don’t forget that 3.3 could appear at 2.3, 3.7 at 2.7, 4,0 at 3.0, yes chances are lower, cause there is way more 3.3+ fights of just starting players and 4.3 which is way more populated the lower tiers, but that’s not the Naval modes problem, you have the same in all modes, cause players progress and go higher and higher. A also you suppose to bring bluewater with you when you 3.3 and above WT is a lineup game being disappointed to play against bluewater it’s like being disappointed to play full lineup of bombers and complain that fighters hunt and kill you.
it’s actually pretty good, other modes you can only wish for those numbers for that amount of time with this effort. In naval modes is way easier to get mastery bonuses just play smart and kill more easy targets.
I really wonder why these posts never ask vice versa, or ask for remerged TT’s instead.
I’d wish vice versa as I’d be researching dreadnoughts with equally costing frigates, corvettes & destroyers heh all while making absolutely no SL due to the economy of those ships, e.g: Type 41 AA Frigate or Ayanami class Destroyer per match are the most expensive ships.
While I can see that & tbh that’s what everyone did in the old TT as most of what’s these TT’s were Ranks I & II then were easily researched with the Rank III premium destroyers, but it’s basically the same vice versa as I would totally research the 7.0’s with the powerhouse 4.0’s all while not dealing with above 5.0 MM.
Logically this is probably why the devs haven’t allowed it to happen, although a remerged tree would solve it anyway.
