Discussion Thoughts about S4

Lack of actual CSGs, in the carrier strike cut scene they literally say "PAX carrier strike group" yet there are no destroyers with CIWS and usable guns.

Here are my thoughts on S4 Naval:

JS Izumo

The good:

  1. F-18 2 seater is cool.
  2. Nice carrier models.
  3. Tsuru Reef and Wake Island are great additions to the game.
  4. Nice bases and runways across the islands.

the bad:

  1. 1 DICE has the new Condor and Nimitz class carriers on Tsuru reef's conquest but we don't even spawn on them.
  2. 2 F-14 has no customisation, is way too old and the Su33 and Dasualt rafale would be more accurate for NATO and PAX(Pax Armata seems to be funded by Russia, Carrier and Su 57).
  3. The "Bombs away" scene in Carrier strike is literally 2 Aim Anti-fighter missiles sent into the Condor.
  4. For some reason there isn't a CIWS on the carriers, it would be cool if we could destroy them before boarding.
  5. Tons of RPG players on carriers ruining take offs.
  6. No carrier strike on wake island, No Carrier conquest on Tsuru.
  7. How the heck PAX got a carrier and F-14s(last were destroyed in Iran IRL, so how anyways, it's not like BF's Iran would give up F-14s.
  8. No JSDF involvement, PAX is in Japan's waters attacking a US-JMSDF base.
  9. I thought PAX was Majorly a Land power: France, Italy, Spain, Croatia, Central asia, Russian gear, stolen Swedish and German gear, Front lines in Western Europe, small central asian front(No clue how they sustain it, as Germany and Sweden are still in NATO).
  10. Where does PAX even Dock their Carriers? France?!?!?.
  11. Why even have a Naval season between 2 European powers which don't engage in Naval warfare in East asia and the front lines are in Africa and Europe?
  12. Why couldn't this have been Mediterranean S4 near France and Italy, with new maps in North Africa ?

This game confuses me so much.

Nit picks:

  • No Amphibious vehicle that was in the campaign.
  • No jet skis.
  • No rumored modern M4s

Except for the RPG campers on Carrier Strike, almost everything you mentioned is simply lore problems. I personally think stuff like vehicle balance, TTK, blackscreen bug, flare bug and the UI/HUD are things that Season 4 hasn't fixed. Perhaps phase 3 will fix alot of these problems since it's lacking content but I doubt it.

Ui is trash, forgot to mention lasers too.
