(Reserve level boats may have little firepower, but reserve level planes are lightly armed, slow, and fragile.)Įntry-level destroyers, on the other hand, do often have very marginal AA defense for their BR.ĪB probably strengthens the planes more than the ships, so if you're coming from there that's a perspective difference. Once you get in a plane you're basically untouchable against the early boats that have no AA and have to rely on manual aim with inadequate weapons.IME even very early boats have pretty adequate AA capability against at-BR aircraft in RB, provided the player is directing the weapons and has some grasp of how to aim AAA. I feel like planes are a little op in low br games, especially coastal. There's probably stuff that still needs addressing. Not tried any other nations naval stuff yet.

Got to say they feel almost as overpowered to use as to fight against. I just started playing US 5.0 destroyers this week. Some people are confused by the fact that reserve destroyers have the economics of reserve vehicles, not the economics of BR 3+ vehicles in most trees. That could be very off-putting though it hasn't been true for a while now.

For people who tried naval early on, you had to reach blue water by grinding through most of the coastal progression. Boat fights probably aren't the best, some boat trees are especially bad. The way a lot of players think the right thing to do with a cruiser is hide behind a rock rather upsets some people. Some people are really upset by depth charges for some reason.

Running into surprise torpedoes is annoying, and in AB they get spammed more due to the free reloading and boosted stats. As far as I can tell the AB aiming mechanics are hot garbage. I'm mostly baffled, but a few complaints I understand a little:
