Introducing Warships to Warfare

[mach2infinity 11]

I'm sure like me there's many here that enjoy playing the online warfare mode. Whilst I know the game's maps are primarily designed for land warfare, it would be great to have warships to add an interesting dynamic to the game, there would be some balancing issues to sort out but expands the idea of 'total warfare'. To Anyone agree? What warship addons could be used?

The title is kind of misleading, I don't know of any good addons that could be used for Warfare navies unfortunately.

It would be hard to integrate, you would need to create a new type of factory just to build ships while somehow maintaining some sort of realistic feel. The most useful type of ship would be amphibious assault ships imo.

It's not misleading as a warship could be designed/modified for the game. There is one I've seen on YouTube but I can't link it as I'm on my phone using restricted wi-fi. But it may be possible for it to be modified. Anyway that's not the point, it's a matter of whether people would want to see warships introduced to warfare. As you said, an amphibious assault ship would be useful. I think a sort of small fast attack boat would add an interesting tactical dynamic to the game, in addition to some greater mobility.

As for the practicality of it, capturing a major port like Electrozavodsk or Chernogorsk would make the idea feasible. Perhaps having a 'naval command' upgrade would work where the commander could call in destroyers and frigates. Regular players could construct smaller vessels such as patrol boats and amphibious craft.

I do actually like the idea of this. You could use Gnat's frigates or the Italian Navy (which comes with opfor vessels too) if they ever release it.
