"We"? Pls speak for yourself. Islands are the only way to make maps somewhat different. As for your uneducated comment regarding "volcano in the middle of the sea". You do realize that many islands only exists due to vulcanic activity? Islands as the hawaiian islands only exist due to vulcanos. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMO we need that variety, meaning both high seas fleet engagement type of naval battles (The Ocean and marginally some of the more open old maps we used to have...) where the movable force clashes with and rams the penetrable barrier of the enemy battle line... , as well more of the sort of coastal skirmishes. The thing is, the latter are better suited for the light elements and are completely ridiculous for the capital ships in the game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hirohito Players 1,717 posts 6,192 battles Report post #20 Posted January 21, 2022 16 hours ago, lameoll said: there should be a game mode for Ocean enthusiasts I really like Ocean, like several other people do. I get that it's the most divisive map in the game, but so far I've only played it about 4 or 5 times during my 3k total battles, which is way too low. I would like to see it bumped up a bit, or at least give it it's own game mode. The part I really like about Ocean is that it teaches something many other maps do not, which is fleet maneuvers and playing as a coherent unit (fleet), rather than establish tactical defensive strongpoints through island cover. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's how the naval battles were fought. I mean, Ocean already favour BBs and torp boats, but adding weather conditions there as well is just too much. The one thing that I dislike about weather conditions in this game is that its so counterintuitive. While one would intuititively think that it would help concealment reliant ships to mask their approach, it instead takes away the drawback of poor concealment ships (BBs) to let them engage at ranges where they can dominate their target. Its never fun to run into a surprise BB at 8km range in a cruiser. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well.. don't play much CV's (due to gameplay reasons) or cruisers (for balance reasons), but I do play DD's as well as BB's and I favor the Ocean. Or, failing that, maps with wide expanses of open water. 4 hours ago, Hirohito said: I really like Ocean, like several other people do.

SkollUlfr Players 1,170 posts 6,026 battles Report post #24 Posted January 21, 2022 reducing, let alone removing islands, would mean developing the game so that learning to aim, predict targets, and manoeuvring for evasion, good angle and optimum range would need to be done. and as has been seen, not only do weegee refuse to spend money on this just to maintain the game, they will throw 2 years of development down the crapper, rather than fix obvious failures. u;ad has no islands. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
