Because there were so many „German“ ships sailing around the 7 seas that time (Especially in the Caribbean). I would rather see a new British, French, Spanish Durch an Portuguese (each) ship than 10 Russian or Polish ones.

They could make an extra tow but you would have to wait the same time for it to reach it‘s destination you would need to sail it by yourself.

Yeah but they did not have to pay for their Ships also...

Well, for me it’s not the uncertainty about any patch but simply that I don’t like the recent changes concerning the missions and other stuff.

Made a good laugh...I don’t see anything hardcore in this game where a simple turn that would take hours in real life can be achieved in one or two minutes...sailing is pretty straight forward, not that complicated...even the shooting is simplified. Hardcore would be doing it like in real life, but then on the other hand I would have officers and gunners who can think for 2 cents and don’t shoot when there is not target in front of them. The only „hardcore“ things are game mechanics that make some pretty straight forward things unnecessary complicated. Oh, and every game is „for the developers money“ because, we’ll, they want to earn money with it.

Then they maybe should never close so assistance can still join later on. True, there should be a risk, but some information what’s going on in the surrounding would be helpful.

Don’t worry sir, it’s not a waste of time since it is my decision if I want to play. I just appreciated the opportunity to do quick missions in the past.

That’s quite a lot, and I simply don’t have that much time for it Yeah, but I first have to get there. Maybe some „intel“ what’s going on in the surrounding of the battleinstance would really help to get a feeling if there is some threat closing in.

Yeah sure, I have „only“ about 550 hours and the game since 2014. I am well aware that playing a game with those ships takes more time, still it would be nice to have the chance to do some quick action.

The „problem“ I personally have with that change is, like stated before, that I simply don’t always have that much time to spend. With the missions we have at the moment I have the opportunity to do one or two quick missions and then go to work or do other things I have to do. And the other thing that bothers me is, that when I do a mission I can relax, against AI I can get attacked by other players. Now don’t get me wrong, that’s not a bad thing in general, but when I attack an AI fleet and get then attacked by an player I didn’t see before in OW it’s just „unrealistic“ because I would have seen him before and at least annoying when I just want some fast action in between. Maybe some thing could be implemented that when one is in Battleinstance he can check if there are other players in the OW near him or closing in to him. Would be helpful and not unrealistic because even in a battle I would have some guys to check if there are some other guys around me, taking into account things work much faster in game than in real life.

That’s not the point, I know there are AI fleets.

I like to play on the PVP Server, because there is simply not enough PVE content on the PVE Server to do for several hundreds of hours. I play on the PvP server because I want to do PvP and Port battles and so on but I also want quick action when I don’t have much time at the moment. I also don’t have a problem with replacing the Missions with other content, but I find it a bit unrealistic to sail around aimlessly just to find an player to fight against considering not all countries are at war with each other the whole time.

I highly doubt they would send a ship like the Victory somewhere on its own without assistance if the know there are quite some threats around. And by the way it would help very much in a discussion not to change the posts afterwards. No offense intended.

On the other hand the „Admirality“ won’t send me on a search and destroy mission on my own when there could be multiple threats on the way. That whole admirality thingy isn‘t the way it would have worked in real life, because I as captain wouldn’t have to pay my ship. And not everyone would be an enemy because not every nation was at war with everyone else all the time.

Would have been a rather short career if Admiral Lord Nelson would have had to buy his ships on his own... Greatly increased experience would be the proper tools for navigation and the use of them, for example, and not sailing into one direction for a certain time and maybe we get to where we want.
