I swear if this whole game is just 'hurr durr battleships!' I don't know if I'll play when its released. Just seems so minmaxi and limiting in playstyle if only one class of vessel is actually able to win battles.

So what you're telling me is when the Campaign is released it's just better all together to completely ignore anything smaller than a Battlecruiser. Causd thatz what I'm seeing. And the mission where it let's you design a modern battleship is absolutely ridiculous. There is no world where one ship, even if it's of WW2 tech vs WW1 can annihilate a small fleet on it's own with minimal damage. Yamato was scared of and damaged enough to be of concern for it to retreat by an Escort fleet! And the accuracy achieved is completely ludicrous. Bismarck and Hood took shots at each other from 24 km out and couldn't hit a damn thing, and Bismarck had some of the best rangefinders in the world at the time.

That still doesn't explain why the destoyers and cruisers are so immensely inaccurate in weapons fire, or how it takes two destroyers eons to destroy each other. There is literally no point in guns below 8 inches vs anything. The smaller ships just dont feel useful in any regard.

So I've noticed that Cruisers, destroyers, and etc. are faaaaar too weak. Their guns dont nearly deal the damage or have the accuracy they should. I feel Cruisers and Destoyers need a massive buff, because a battleship of practically any kind is worth almost a fleet of smaller vessels, where in reality it wasn't this severe. Advanced battleships also are a bit too extreme compared to dreadnoughts. It makes sense for Dreadnought vs Pre-dreadnaught but I feel it's a little bit extreme with Dreadnought vs WW2 era Battleship.
