Modernish ships?

[bonniegodz]

So with WoT having a "Cold war mode" with modern/cold war tanks what are the chances of WoWs doing the same thing with Modern/cold war ships with modern weapon systems? Missiles, ciws, etc 

[HamAndCheez]

Reject missile, embrace pre-dreadnought.

Id rather go back and do age of sail fights than Modern fights as right now with current navies its not even fair to compare ship to ship.

You bet they will.

Question: How did they manage the tier system for Cold War?

Sounds great fun, spamming target-seeking missiles from beyond visual range. Sooo enjoyable.

Not to mention that the real performances of alot of that equipment isnt declassified so theyd be guessing alot with how things function.

Play Harpoon.

Personally I think they should do naval warfare from tall ships all the way through modern ones. 

Get rid of 'tiers' and have the progression be the different time periods.  From broadsides to throwing missiles over the horizon.  Maybe even 'future era' with rail gun cruisers, advanced point defense, and other directed energy weapons.

But guys with missiles wont CIWS fix the spam? Its meant to shoot down missiles and stuff

This would necessitate WG both revisiting the current Tier system and making secondary and tertiary batteries controllable and worthwhile. Sadly they seem unwilling to do this.

I am pretty sure we all heard WG say  Subs were NEVER going to happen,  I wonder how long they can hold out without cold war ships to keep people cycling thru the game.

Er.... there’s two main battery turrets on the bow section...Mikasa has only one dual 11 inch turret each on the bow and stern I remember. There is an American flag in the rear too

Regardless of both of those, people already claim that people just sit in the back and spam at full range, that that's boring gameplay that ruins the game, and now we're talking about adding target-seeking missiles with even more range? And expect that to be 'fun'?

Please point out where he claimed that that was Mikasa.

Yes CIWS works but 

1. Uses up its ammo capacity quickly, needing a long reload process that not happing during a combat situation

2. Can be overwhelmed with enough missiles attacking at different angles - believe its the Russian and Chinese strategy in sinking American ships with CIWS and missile interception systems

I don't disagree with you.  The natural Evolution of this game will be to incorporate cold war tech into the game.  [edited] did it,  It seems World of Tanks is doing it.  World of Warships wont be much different in say 2 years

 

*edit..  seems saying WarFlunder is a no no  LOL

With tanks, yes. Those don't fundamentally change much. Unlike naval warfare.

I would disagree, with Sabot and APFSD,  TOW systems,  Composite armors, Computer Stabilized guns and  firing systems

Just for clarity, that's USS Kentucky, BB-6. She's mighty purty.

They're still mobile armored boxes that rely on line-of-sight to engage with mostly gun tube fired ammunitions. They don't sit behind the horizon lobbing homing missiles from beyond visual range. Which just plain wouldn't be fun. In any way.

Not to mention Air-droppable tanks like the XM551 with a Sheridan missile, IR and other night-fighting systems

Everything can be modded to fit the current Arcade style system they have.   Artificial range limits, ammunition' Capacity's.  Reload times.    Im not saying lets have them, i'm pointing out all the ways they can easily do it, just like Subs
