Your arguments don’t make any sense to me.
Pirates would be cool but if they did that then they should add naval warfare to the Pacific like in Battlefield 1942.
Maps like Midway or Coral Sea would have islands with control points but the players would spawn on aircraft carriers and ships out in the sea. They could stay on the aircraft carrier and move it around, or jump in a plane, or jump on a landing craft and sail toward the islands to fight as infantry and capture control points. Capturing land objectives would allow tanks to spawn in.
In BF1942 I remember they also had other ships like destroyers and subs that players could spawn in and take control of, and try to sink the enemies ships and even the aircraft carrier. If your team has their aircraft carrier destroyed and they don’t have any points captured on the islands then you lose the match, so you can win by either using up enemy tickets or by destroying the enemy’s aircraft carrier.
It would have some different gameplay mechanics so it would require lots of programming, but I think it would be a great new game mode and allow the game to explore more of the Pacific campaign which included lots of naval battles.

hands down one of the most actually elaborated proposal for an april’s fool event opposed as just being: " i want x. do it ".
now, as it comes for the event it self… i’m not sure if they will actually do any of it.
there are many incognitas.
and to be quite honest, i’m not sure they would go through the hassle of new assets, actual swords, models of the ships, controls, weapons and what not.
but i’d be down to play it and would fully support it.
(( as long it’s not gonna be another bp like HW with some… pirat black beard serving the allies with a musket and his own squad… or what have you ))
well… ugh…
because it would be an april fool.
it’s in the name isn’t it?
the main game is about ww2.
i’d argue ww2 should stick in the base game, rather than limited to a short period of time and/or mods.

I don’t see any value in doing such events for april fools. It’s just a waste.
They should invest that development time into numerous other things.
for us modders, april fools is what made most of our mods possible.
through new features, assets, models etc etc.
i’m not so sure.
it’s not like they lack content to make.
but at the same time, i can see and understand their reasoning for not rushing things.
apil fools happens to be stuff that doesn’t typically require an insane ammount of work.
so as i’m someone who both likes the ww2 aspect, and mods alongside april fools.
i don’t think any of such work was taken away from one or the other.
( except mods. those were the most neglected thing. and i would say i wished more support for those instead of april fools. but then again, most of what we get, wheter we want it or not, it was through such events. so… i can’t fully complain )

Just a skin for a pirate captain.
The hat can be taken from the Australians (only painted black), optionally add feathers from the Italian tankers. The eye patch can be taken from the German donat parmesan.
Skins for the sailors can be made by similarly reskinning Japanese clothes on all sorts of strings and garters. Put a bandana on their head, which can then be used for some spec opers in the base game.

It will be a very interesting event, but I see a bunch of dumb BOTs falling off the ship.
