Greetings fellow Captains!
This is my first post on the forum but have been playing for some time (since the beta) and WoWs is one of my favourite games and I love the content, new ships and premise. However I have found the battle modes and indeed ranked battles to be getting a little wearisome and samey now after a year plus.
Like many of you I am sure you are all aware of the historical battles and 'what-if' actions that cover the period of this game and would love to see some of these included in the game and just wanted to see what the general thoughts on this might be?
Most naval battles were not of course random encounters but usually with a goal or objective for combat: (Convoy, Blockade, Bombard, Hunt the Raider/s, Ambush, plus airbases and ports with defences - just to name a few ideas), the recent Halloween mode has given a glimpse perhaps of what could be done and I would love to see these implemented in-game for those of us who want a slightly deeper immersion I guess, either as PvE or PvP.
There is currently a Training room (mod?) and this also might lend itself to a Sandbox mode perhaps with user submitted scenarios but would need some (perhaps not too much) effort for WG to implement this effectively - I would love to see 3 British cruisers vs the Graf Spee (maybe it might be in the game one day!) to play from either side and try out different tactics and responses but I guess this is only likely to become a reality if enough of us ask for something like this for WoWs and not just become a clone of WoTs.
Anyhow I would certainly welcome your thoughts/ideas and apologies if I have rambled on a bit here!
