Ship Rating Problems

[Hohh20]

I am sure this has been discussed to death already, but it still hasn't been fixed yet so I wanted to bring it back up.

Both the USS Constitution and the USS United States are 4th rate heavy frigates in real life. They need to be moved down to 4th rate instead of 3rd rate and given a proper battle rating of 450. When moved down to their proper place, they shouldn't have any stats changed as they are fairly in line with the real ships when comparing them to the stats of the other 4th rates.

I will post this topic in technical problems and bugs as well.

video games have a way of balancing stuff to fit their narrative like in Warthunder and World of
Tanks etc.. This game is far from perfect but its so unique it is definitely worth a look if you are bored.

If you look closely you will see that they are not 3rd rates in game they are RANK 3 ships. This is why they can be where they are in game. Another example is indefatigable as a RANK 4 ship when it is a 5th rate. The devs have worded it like this so they can put those ships at their respective places they are in the game.

Don't know why you have posted this as a bug, been like this for ages and unlikely to change although i agree they should be RANK 4 ships.

Well if you figure in the crews alone, USS and Conny are around 450 at rank 3 and then they have to compete with ships like the 3rd rate and Bellona with 650+. It's a bit silly, but then again, what does make sense in NA? As for the Indefatigable, I'm sure they just moved that up a rank so that people couldn't grind 5th rate missions with them. All 3 ships should be moved back down to their original "ranks".

Agree and Le Broken should be moved up to rank 5

Constitution was 4 for years. How much did they buff it so it can stand up to the third rates in rank 3? What a joke.

I thought this Rank X wording is simply because unfortunately there's a kind of ship called "3rd rate"...
If you refer to Rank 3 ships as 3rd rates it will be impossible to tell whether you're talking about 3rd rate, Bellona, Wasa etc.... or just 3rd rate.

[Quineloe]

the third rate 3rd rate is a hunk of junk no one is ever talking about.

Really? I thought Wasa was the weakest R3.... except of course its mobility.

[Quineloe]

Funny, Wasa used to be rank 4 as well. What's actually left in rank 4 now.

I mean it's not like it actually matters at this point. The game is about BR, only PVE grind missions care about rank.
