Cruisers, we desperately need cruisers. Everyone here seems battleship crazy! If we end up with everyone in multiplayer blasting from miles away at each other with the heavyweights it will soon get one-sided and boring. Give me some more intermediate range ships anyday over the biggies. Lets have sloops also, both WWI and WWII types, in fact why doesn't the future game include upgrade options if you have to head back to a port for re-fit ? The upgrades could be bought with either an increase in rank due to missions successfully fulfilled or perhaps through salvage or some fictitious form of prize money.

Everyone might be in battleships during multiplayer, but then everyone would have to be exactly the same capabilities as far as always surviving missions, earning rank, and never getting demoted..
Problem is, people come in all different ability levels, amount of time per month to play the game, and different desires to remain in subs or other smaller ships for various reasons. There are natural limitations which make it unlikely that everyone will be in BB's.
With TAG having already considered this, they will be placing the "qualifications" for being in a battleship at the level they deem necessary to keep the BB population at a playable level.. same with aircraft carriers..
Different times of day/night around the world between USA, Europe, Australia, and other countries will bring different amounts of players to the server 24 hours a day.. one possible way to limit HIGH-end equipment is by population currently logged into the game for whatever reason.. more people on, would allow more BB's to sail proportionately speaking.

What type of cruisers? Light/heavy/Battle or all types?

Definately Light...needs to be only one step up from DDs - there is a vast divide between DDs and Hood/KW/PE.
After all, a squadron of light cruisers did take on the Graf Spee.

Light cruisers only as Buxton says. They are the perfect balance between the destroyers and the heavyweight battlecruisers that we already have.

Er, Buxy, that's not quite right.
The
Admiral Graf Spee was attacked by Royal Navy cruisers, but they were:
Leander-class Light cruisers HMS Ajax and HMS Achilles, and the York-class Heavy Cruiser HMS Exeter.

Personnaly I think that Aircraft carriers should not be in the game, or at least if they are then you cannot fly a plane just launch them. This is a naval sim not a flight sim and thats the way I want it to stay as there are too many flight suims out there and not enough Naval.
