The BEST APHE SHELL in War Thunder

[@DOLLARplays]

"One Mississippi, two Mississippi three Mississippi..." That's how naval battles look right now lol This thing should be in the tech tree, and the reward would rather be something like Nevada class(maybe in original config). Now, the best US battleship is locked behind the paywall. Noice. Maybe let's not go to pay to win direction.

[@amanwithaplan4369]

how do you shoot one bulat at a time? in naval

[@AnakinSkyobiliviator]

@@amanwithaplan4369 Set a keybind for "Ranging Shot"

[@joskarifinaukr6503]

Hey, what do you have against Arkan's ass?

[@AnakinSkyobiliviator]

Yeah, that is something I was afraid of. Gaijin's lack of plans for the implementation of Naval ships right now (coupled with a very cramped BR range) means that they will look at the tech tree and go "ah nice, this nation got a complete lineup in this BR range already and the next BR range is for something stronger, it should be okay if we make this a Premium" instead of decompressing and making gaps in the tech tree that vehicles could fill in over time. I first got this issue with the IJN Myoko which is more or less a better Furutaka/Aoba being a premium instead of a 6.0 or replacement for the IJN Ikoma pre-dreadnought at 5.7. Probably even worse here since US doesn't even have a complete 7.0 line up.

DOLLAR makes Naval or any gamemode just as enjoyable as anything!

[@treanttrooper6349]

Honestly I love Naval, it's a nice relaxing change from my usual top tier air Sim chaos of MFD screens, BVR dodging, RWR yelling at me and trying to stop my pilot going for nap time while putting wayyy too many G's through whatever airframe I pick 😂

[@mrjoblox]

I play naval before going to sleep

[@ICECAPPEDSKY]

@@treanttrooper6349yeah but fighting the unkillable scharnhorst gets old. You typically need 2-3 teammates to just repeatedly break its guns over and over and just setting it on fire till it dies. Because ammoracking it is near impossible

[@charlessandel]

it’s better than all the spawn trapping that happens in the ground modes and air arcade that all only have 1-2 spawn locations in total for each team, that’s for sure!

[@Count_Gustav]

Naval EC can be enjoyable, "if": - Its not Denmark map - u have Battleship or battlecruiser in your line up - teammates isnt quitting early.

[@josiahbrown280]

The Moffett sank you with 5" SP because the way naval tallying works is the last weapon from the enemy that sinks you to damage you is credited with being the killing blow. What actually happened is his torpedoes detonated your magazine but before you fully went up he landed one last salvo of 5" shells

[@DOLLARplays]

That could be true, I need to rewatch the footage

[@BobSaggot-h8v]

Is this what a real naval battle would look like? If so… that is the most terrifying and intense part is waiting for the shots to hit or miss. I mean the anticipation alone would be enough for me.

[@Dhdja2741]

No, the worst part is being on a battleship, thinking that you’re invincible, and then ammo storage explodes sinking you and battleship within few minutes

[@henrysmith4907]

Absolutely nothing about any part of warthunder has anything to do with how a real battle would go. I don’t mean to sound condescending when I say that either just replying!

[@DefinitelyNotBlackOpalDirect]

⁠@@henrysmith4907demonstrably untrue, go look up about the Japanese battleship the that was night hunting and came upon by 2 American destroyers. It was called the “hei” I think and was in guadal canal. At times they were less than like 50m away from each others and getting so close to the ship is what took away the Japanese battleships big guns. It physically couldn’t aim on the Americans and they were able to batter it. There is plenty of footage of planes flying into naval formations and the skies plastered with AA. If you pin all this up, you could certainly say war thunder at times does reflect realistic events that have happened. Is war thunder realistic, no, but even a broken clock is right twice a day. Sometimes certain parts in war thunder battles play out just like reality could.

[@misterperson3469]

While a lot isn't realistic about it shells fired at longer ranges do take a while to land. That being said I think the large portions if crew that can't see the enemy ship, let alone any shells being fired have it much worse. They just have to keep doing their job and hope for the best.

[@TheMeanLemon]

@@henrysmith4907 It's a video game, no video game depicts how a real battle would go

Getting the Mississippi has brought be back to Navel and I am loving it just hate lack of Navel Players

[@cat_clan_leader]

[@Spazticated]

Blame Gaijin, they've made it the hardest part of the game to get into. The maps and spawns are generally bad, you can die within 30 seconds of spawning either from the enemy or crashing into your teammates, and the BR's are so compressed that a full uptier means getting absolutely dumpstered by vastly superior ships even at reserve tier. It can be really fun, but "Gee, I wonder why hardly anyone plays naval?" is a question I often sarcastically ask myself anytime I play naval.

Next battleships for the US tree should be the Colorado class, probably one of the best looking ships along with the Hood. Clipper bow with 4x 16in 45cal Mk5 guns, was a beautiful interwar ship with a lot of firepower. I figure that since the US had so many upgrades and variants of the same class of ship or even single ship itself, the tech tree ship will be prewar and the premium/event will be late war, just because. Unlike most ships from other navies, save the Royal Navy, the US ships went from cage mast, to tripod mast to radar centered superstructures. Even the Mississippi lived long enough to be converted into a hybrid guided missile/gun battleship test platform.
