Trying my best to get this ship. 🇬🇧

did gajin add new rocket mechanism for naval rockets in game or not

Oh great I missed another livestream

G'day Rowan, Hmm barring ship models & the heat map & small changes those map changes arrre ehhh.... WTF is this PoS!! Especially the last two man when I first played South Kvarken I was ranting the whole encounter match on how fucked the Goldenfels convoy were for the red & blue sides & the reasoning is some of the dumbest reasoning EVER!! Still I'm enjoying the USS Coolbaugh DE-217 Buckley class DE as man 10× 40 mm/60's at 4.0 is just evil as I had to step outside for a few minutes & came back to having shot down four aircraft LMAO. Now the history regarding the French Destroyer Guichen D607 is interesting having been the Italian cruiser Ex Capitani Romani class cruiser Scipione Africano remade into this monster, but grrrh the inability to fire both weapon sets together is annoying.

Excellent update vid. This is what sets you apart. I've been waiting for the map rant for some time and can't agree more, so thanks for bringing that to the forefront so it can be amplified.

Rowan, bro where the fk have you been? This channel looks amazing, I always wanted to find someone speaking in details about naval part of War Thunder. You just earned a sub ;) Cheers!

I think a lot of naval will now be decided by who can load in faster, bring their guns to bear on the enemy spawn, and put shells on target before the enemy even spawns. It's not hard to remember the enemy spawns and saturate them with fire.

RIP coastal fun on fuego islands

Thank you, Rowan. Good summary.

If spawning in direct fire range w/o cover is "good" map design, why hasn't gaijin created completely flat tank maps w/o cover/trees so everyone can begin madly firing from the spawns? Because the player base would revolt and scream about it. Yet somehow they think it's a good idea just because it's boats? Navy badly needed more island/cover added before this update, and instead they start deleting islands??? @_@ Are you kidding me? Whoever's in charge of Navy at gaijin needs to be fired immediately...

The only people getting stuck on the island they removed were those bots people had way back

Perhaps they made the Map changes to make it easier for Bots. Just saying.

If I didn't know any better, I'd have said those atrocious map changes were to pander towards the zombots who had the pathing skill of a lead-laiden wheelchair off a mountain and the gunnery skill of the poor granny in said wheelchair. But those are long gone now, so why? I can only assume it's to pander to the ADHD riddled kids who cant handle not shooting at something for more than 30 seconds who apparently make up the majority of the tank and aircraft playerbase, but it's such an awful change for anyone with more than half a brainstem, and only further enforces the ongoing "firepower is everything" meta. The crew position heatmap is a very welcome addition, not being hamstrung by bridge snipes is amazing and the killfeed icon changes will be helpful for trying to figure out why you instantly exploded this time, but wont help much if one is getting focused by 3+ US destroyers upon spawning in with 0 means of counterplay Thank you for the informative video as always, your videos are always enjoyable regardless of schedule, and for someone who phased out from actually playing the game due to every patch making some abhorrent change that ruins all the good that comes with it, they're one of the few ways one can keep tabs on the actual state of the game without having to boot it up and find out these awful changes first hand.

I absolutely hate spawning in and being locked on instantly by the enemy from spawn. Be it in coastal, or bluewater I hate being targeted from spawn to spawn.

Excellent video and thank you for bringing these changes to our attention. These map changes kill coastal and furthermore, open water maps are boring as hell for bluewater too!

24:24 if that was the real reason they would remove the nordest point of the island for the red tram

17:38 worst change this update 💔💔

Great overview, love the level of detail. Those "iconic French dual 57 mm anti-air guns" are actually Swedish 57 mm Bofors L/60 guns. I believe the French adopted the HE-VE shell which became available in the 60s so not sure why they are missing. The 57 mm L/6/ was used aboard various Swedish and Dutch ships too and is the predecessor to the modern Bofors 57 mm L/70 still commonly used on ships today

Such a nice video! Thank you. Love your vids

The island maps gave some nice variety for bluewater ships and were a nice contrast to the full open water maps. The islands were of no real impediment for destroyers and cruisers at all. As you mentioned it seems these changes have been made solely for the benefit of Capital ships and I'm quite convinced they are the worse for it.

Ze hebben een genie nodig die alle arcade herdenkt. Het doel moet leuk en lol zijn.

It’s like dice patched maps in battlefield 4 team death match mode because people camp on roof

Island maps is what made naval fun.

It could be good for certain ships that do not have anti air vs battling other ships, allows you to repair more often without worrying about wasting the lives of the crewman on the deck from HE spam. I personally do not repair these damaged AA guns because the game doesn't allow us the option to order men to go below deck to safer areas when taking incoming enemy shells, especially when there is no enemy airplanes reported.

Thanks as always! As you said this was a great patch for Naval, aside from the _odd_ map changes. The crew heatmap is legitimately gamechanging (though I'd like a "fixed" version like x-ray mode), lots of new ships, and some other great QoL improvements and such. You're probably up to date with news, but the next event vehicle will be what seems a solid Italian top-tier coastal, and the upcoming battlepass is all but confirmed to have a battleship as the top reward (I'm thinking and hoping it's possibly Oktyabrskaya Revolyutsiya). The last while has been pretty great for the mode, and this trend seems to be continuing. :)

Great summary 🫡 thanks very much for shout out

Very informational thank you Rowan!

Hey Rowan! Do you have any tips to make more rp from naval? I really want to get into naval beacuse I love ships but I feel I get MUCH less rp from naval then any other mode in the game. Great video as always. May Tengri bless your soul

This is relaxing to watch.

With the new French fleet we don´t need to forget the "Loire 130C"

The Dealey is quite interesting its the last cannon based frigate it feels like gaijin tries their best to add cold war ships on the bare limit of modernization possibilities but without being actual missile frigates, but the successor of the dealey would be the Knox class frigate which is once again cannon based but was also refurbished and refit to allow the use of sea sparrows and a helicopter, and i love helicopters im super curious when gaijin adds frigates or destroyers with helicopter hangars, they are not only effective against submarines and reconnaisance they can also carry torpedos, so far we only know catapult aircraft with tiny bombs, i think this may changed at some point.

Hi. My br 2,3, i tried to torpedo the destroyers . Next time revange 😂 sten77.

I play bluewater, must give boates a try.
