Extra upgrade slot for ships?

[______AESTHETIC_BREADBOX]

What do you guys think of getting a special upgrade slot that has ALL the boosts and those upgrades cost 4mil credits? so with these new captain skills a yamato can do full Secondary build and have the start of an AA build? or a Gneisenau that has an AA build and start of a secondary build? or cruisers in higher tiers can get concealment aswell as the steering gear mods? or IJN cruiser can make the guns mildly better aswell as their AA? the upgrades available are specific to tier as they already are. thoughts?

No. More buffs? Nope.

 

Classes that need help: USN cruisers and IJN DDs.

Blanket buff to all ships? No.

My thought ?  NO .

I agree that this would be too much, though I've come to the the thought that Tier 8 should have an additional slot, or something, to help with being placed in  tier 10 battles so often. The jump from tier 8 to 9 is ridiculous if you compare the ships abilities due to not only repair but the additional upgrade slot.

suppose maybe to clarify, you can only get like main gun battery mod 1 and magazine protection etc. youre not getting ALL the upgrades lol

but I feel with the new skills coming that USN Cruisers have more potential in all honesty, most people had to decide between HE spam or AA.. now theyre getting to ability to do both.

Id even be happy with just a T8+ upgrade slot, thats more of where im referring to anyway but for fairness, it should be all around. it opens up a little more potential..

Sure why not go for it all in one

No. I just played three games in Random and lost horribly (played like a dunce) in cruisers, ships I normally do decently in. The AA on all three could not shoot down the two spotters I had over my head the whole game, sent up by the BBs that had arcs to shoot over the islands at max range, given that I was low tier in all three games. The CV drivers complaining about strong AA are full of it. The only strong AA cruisers are Cleveland and Atlanta (one I don't have). The RN cruisers are bad enough as it is, including Belfast and Edinburgh. The BBs are decent from North Carolina up on the USN side.Texas at T5 has terrific AA, but the other standards are weak IMHO.  And they want to nerf the AA on cruisers?? Destroyers don't have useful AA in most cases, and they want to reduce AA on DDs? I don't agree with this.

It's a slippery slope to go down. T8s already have an additional upgrade slot over T7s. Whilst having an extra slot may narrow the gap between T8 and 9/10, it widens the gap between T7 and T8 significantly as well.

Its not just the AA thought.. Im talking you could focus the guns and then boost secondaries and with the captain skills get concealment and secondary skills. think of he possibilities of a ship using a 19 point captain? its obtainable now but youre forced to choose specifically one build and then boost another.

which is why I suggested its one slot for every ship but you can only use like the T5 slots etc. its the same upgrades you can get at T5 but you can get upgrades like both steering gears mod one and propulsion mod 1, or whatever they are, so you never lose propulsion and steering in a DD and you dont need to take last stand..

I wouldn't mind seeing the higher tier US BBs and Cruisers get an extra slot. US BBs and cruisers don't seem to have a real strength/theme in the game now, maybe "tech" could be it - better equipment, more equipment slots, etc.
