Draythur Players 3 posts 301 battles Report post #1 Posted December 3, 2016 Just wanted to ask why this isn't a thing yet. Realistic speeds, weapons ranges, torps that can only fire once, ability to run out of ammo in general, realistic number of aircraft aboard carriers and so forth, possibly as a separate game mode, so everyone who can't handle it won't have to. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UnknownError Beta Tester 56 posts 9,374 battles Report post #3 Posted December 3, 2016 This is not how WG design their games. If you want that go play War thunder although I not sure if they've release the navel section of the game yet. I have no issues with a "realism" mode but WG sees no market for it and I would rather they spent time on other thing atm. Besides I doubt WG's engine or the user's base hardware could handle the computing power needed for it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[-TPF-] invicta2012 Players 6,382 posts 26,856 battles Report post #5 Posted December 3, 2016 (edited) I think there is definitely a market for a less frantic, more "naval battle simulator" game. WG's push to a more cartoon, arcade-y, aggressive game may work for some of their market but not for others - I cannot stand the Epicentre map, myself, and wish they'd put the Ocean map back on lower Tiers, as well as generally making some of the maps a bit bigger and more sparse to break up the fleets. Comic book things like machine-gun DDs firing endless streams of single rounds, unshielded guns never getting knocked out, they could be given the heave-ho too.

[2DQT] RUSSIANBlAS Players 8,241 posts Report post #8 Posted December 3, 2016 Realism mode would be no fun, games would take a lot longer than 20mins like others have said What would suck is being winged by a lucky shot then spending the next 3 days trying to survive (Bismarck again!)

Cosseria Players 1,064 posts 4,944 battles Report post #15 Posted December 3, 2016 It was the Giulio Cesare, soon to join the game as SN Novorossyisk. The shell struck a funnel, its cap penetrated the deck and set an ammo stowage on fire (that's why you get those 900 hp hits on masts, funnels and such in game).

Sure it would. Admiral Dannreuther - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubert_Edward_Dannreuther Wagner's grandson, and Gunnery officer on HMS Invincible at the Battle of Jutland. One of only six survivors, he stepped out of the ships' topmast into the water as she sank. Not too shabby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
