Wow, the hate. I completely agree folks. Right now it's pretty damn bad. BUT jesus christ (forgive my language), they have explained that they aren't done tweaking this stuff yet. To be very honest, I see the potential in this. The old way was indeed fun kinda like a strategy game kind of thing, now its this. I think it can become cool. As people mention above though, the dmg of the planes is redicilous, except for torps, but only when playing a japaneese ship have I hit anything with torps, the time it takes to reduce the spread on other ships is just... well it takes ages. Rockets are interesting, they are nice for DD,s but they too hit nothing. Lastly the CV and it's aircraft releasing fighters, please make theese fighters a litte quicker to engage and perhaps make them do a little less dmg.
Also: I've always wanted to say this: People talking about realism, what the [edited]does that mean? I mean, fair enough, the ships have a name, resembling warships from the world wars, but the gameplay is nothing close to realistic. It is arcady and tactical. Perhaps even more than that, but don't come here talking about the game being mechanically realistic. I feel hurt every time that happens. I play DCS (which isn't that realistic, but it's as close as I'll ever get) and I work on a ship IRL. K, thanks.
Keep up the hard work WG! I trust that as long as you people see potential in earning currecny, you also have a huge interest in making the game better. There won't be a WoWs2. At least not for me.
