[OTLWS] Barney_Wobba Players 263 posts 5,419 battles Report post #1 Posted March 10 I say 'Historical Server', but it's just another name for 'Classic Server'. A separate server for the older mechanics with RTS CV and no subs. Total fresh start server on all the main WoWs zones. Any takers? 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[DCG] plain_average Players 143 posts 4,701 battles Report post #2 Posted March 10 I would play that - Wows was much better when CV had limited planes and no subs. But it will never happen, wargaming only want to crank out premium ships that are better than tech tree ships, so people buy them - and then complete the destruction of the game by introducing even more subs and ships that have torps & planes - so at the end the game is about who is better at dodgning torps/attack planes/homing torps than about strategy and knowledge of how and when to shoot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[-SBG-] ColonelPete Players 38,559 posts 19,177 battles Report post #3 Posted March 10 That is not really historical. I thought you would propose a WW1-only game mode. That would be interesting. Not that it was proposed dozens of time before... 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You forgot stealth fire, battleships undetected smoke firing. The only "classic server" thing i would second is the return of the mighty T7 Pensacola ;) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sunleader Weekend Tester, In AlfaTesters 5,710 posts 13,400 battles Report post #5 Posted March 10 I am sure You would get a few Hundred Players for that. But I doubt it would be enough to Justify the Cost for WG. So I assume You can Bury that Dream. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not that it was proposed dozens of time before... It has, and I'm sure WG has carefully archived every single suggestion. Originally, though, I thought OP was talking about the state of the antique servers WG is running, but both the WW1 game mode and the Classic Server are good suggestions. 1 hour ago, togMOR said: You forgot stealth fire, battleships undetected smoke firing.

I'd take the lot, Pepsicola included and the whole enchilada if we went back to the 2015-17 era. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure, although someone will have to teach me how to strafe - I never got the hang of that... Wouldn't we lose a few decent ship lines (or rather need them reworking for the 'old' mechanics)? From memory, the last time we had a spike in requests for things to go back to the RTS era was when the CV Reework was being especially egregious, and the main down-side anyone could think of was that we'd lose - I think - the RN DDs...

[G-O-M] Aethervoxx Players 2,597 posts 13,191 battles Report post #10 Posted March 11 I would play that kind of defined 'Historical Server' too . I doubt WG will ever let this happen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[K3RLS] MarChil Players 509 posts 13,275 battles Report post #12 Posted March 11 Since the only reason they have for those bottomleeches is that they invested to much and are completely unwilling to admit when they failed, WG will not allow it. Besides, how are the speshull people supposted to have fun then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
