So a destroyer escort between the islands on the pacific maps it could work like armored train and be reason to amphibious tanks and boats more to board the ship like the train with useable gun s by team mates

Weird idea but it’s unique at least. But some big problems here.
I highly doubt it’ll be added because DDs (Naval Code for Destroyers) would already be matching some of the big calibers of the Heavy Tanks of the Berlin campaign + more. Generally speaking a naval gun of the same caliber is much, much more powerful than the same size caliber of a tank because what naval guns need to do. People would want the guns to work while being historically accurate and active until they realize how big of a boom they make + how quick they reload. Having something like 4-6 Shells of 76mm-138mm fire somewhat at a frequent pace is gonna cause some outrage.
For example; the USS Fletcher-class Destroyers have 5 of the 127mm guns. That’s a much bigger boom than the IS-2 HE shells in Berlin. They’ll probably fire like every 20-25 seconds to stay historically accurate (because again DD guns… not the big mama battleship guns that’ll take forever to reload). While the armor might be 12mm-20mm depending on location, DDs themselves are already big so hitting vital points will also probably be difficult to do (in fact those carriers you see already in-game are way too tiny for historical accuracy).
Sorry to disappoint ya on this. Unless there is like an EXTREME demand for it, it ain’t gonna happen.
Edit: Forgot the word “ain’t”
well that’s the thing its why we have to escort it’s to close to shore to target the boarders unless they stay far back from the cost so mean guns would be out of play leaving only high angles mg and secondary batteries. even then the bigger guns would take up a squad to use and be slow as balls to fire if they can be used

Most we have is lot of MG and AAA but it asl be good reason to tank boat duel
Engineers would be useless
sand bags ammo wire more guns let them build on ship
if the ship moves it would be hard to code that. We cannot build on the train
i thought it was just the train would be to hard to take cause its so small and fill with wire and a mg at one end would be broken
Fighting inside a warship is fun, and I like the strategic points on the transport ship and large aircraft in the Pacific.
But if you want to make it similar to the train mode, I think it is a bit unrealistic and looks more like boarding actions.
We’re not 18th century pirates, right?

we still do boarding actions and fight pirates today in modern combat and us nave boarded and took a German uboat in ww2.
