Leveling coastal ships

[Shafol]

Why is it such pain? wait time average is 9 mins, for 4vs4 battle that ends under 6 minutes with reward of 400rp or 800rp. Any better way for it?

use them in blue water battles to cap

Most naval players don't go below BR 3.3 where the reserve blue water ships are.
And you can use the boats for much more than capping - them torpedos can hit very hard.

The best place to bring coastal boats is well above their own BR, while all the heavy cruisers and battleships are slugging it out they don’t really achieve anything except tying up their counterparts so coastal boats have free reign to fight amongst themselves over the objectives, 1.0 reserve boats can and frequently do decide the outcome of top tier naval matches

My normal Blue Water line up
2 Blue Water ships with backup
1 Fast torpedo boat
1 Torpedo bomber
1 Level bomber

On maps where all the blue water start in a herd I spawn my torpedo boat and cap and then hunt large targets to give time for the herd to disperse.
When I start with blue Water I have my torpedo boat in case later team needs to uncap or cap a point.

I think the only solution to this issue is: FIX THE ECONOMY

Much as you might like to push your unrelated agenda at every chance in this case wait times if you just play coastal reserve have always been bad, most people play Bluewater reserves and above which start at 3.0.

At the BRs naval is actually played at nothing has changed, this is what you get for having two sets of reserves playing the same queue

coastal is really hard to grind, i really dislike playing them, its also not worth it to play at all for some nation i can confirm its worth it for usa russia and germany you get really OP frigates at 4.0

Because the player bots are all in premium destroyers and cruisers since those make actual money, and coastals don't.

Most people playing coastal use the same couple armored gunboats because other coastals can barely damage them, which also adds to how horrible coastal grind is.

Source: Grinded the entire italian coastal tree without a premium and gave up right at the end because I just couldn't do it anymore. Once you hit 3.3 coastal you ONLY get 4.3 bluewater rounds and nobody plays coastals above 3.3 so it becomes the slowest, most boring grind of just being one shot while you're barely capable of damaging anything you fight.

Doesn't help that they decided it was a good idea to add auto firing AA guns that fire at both naval and air targets withoutt the player having to even know you're there. Getting sniped at 2km by auto firing AA while you're trying to get close enough to secure a torpedo hit is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ unfun. :^)

You need only one Ship if you play the German. The PR 131 (BR 3.0). If you can comand this Ship you can defeat all - from PT XXX up to Alaska
