Minefields... such a fun and engaging mechanic. Also, I hate Schnellboots. The way they are moving up and down as they pass through waves gives them magical dodging abilities with even the smallest amount of server desync/lag (in the first mission chain I saw shells pass through the ship model on my screen, but the rapid up-down movement of the ship apparently meant those shells were seen by the server as having passed above or fallen short). And despite it being historically accurate, I would prefer there to be no BBs in these missions. Almost every time I played the first D-Day mission there were 2 BBs on my team and they would either never shoot at coastal installations - preferring to fire at, and mostly miss, the small boats - or drive so close to the beach that the coastal guns would pick them to death long before the mission was over. Atlantic wall defense was pretty fun, though. Got a lot of use out of my T-61 for levelling up Lütjens (only 2 more points, yay). As for your ship of choice, I prefer the version of Omaha with 2 torp tubes per side to this one, for the reasons you mentioned, but I suppose bringing any Omaha-class ship to Omaha beach at least once is a bit of a must do. It's in the name, after all. 😅
minefields are a non issue in a DD and are actually fun to delete, but do very little for xp. Funny enough, BBs are terrible for taking out forts in D-day ops with cruiser and destroyer AP shells being much better. That said, WV '44 is fun and useful in this op, much more than Utah beach.
@@FV_Ops The Operation only became available in EU today, so I went out and played a bit myself. Had a few matches with a WV'44 on my team and I agree, it seems much more useful and able to pull its weight in this Operation compared to the first. Equipping the thing that gives you 2 more depth charges on my Sims makes this mission quite fun, especially the minefield clearing. I think this set of Operations is the first time I found an actual use for that particular module. 🤔🙂
Remember when we used to be able to bring T5 in operation? I wish WG's willing to rework the operation again. Make it a normal mode for T5-T6 ships and Hard mode for T7-T8.

I'd be fine with bringing some of the low tiers in the highers. Fujin and Kamikaze hunger. Marblehead/Murmansk has quite a bit of DPM as well.
I've also requested this, but I doubt it will happen 😓
It would be cool if there were at least a couple of introductory Ops for T4-5 ships, geared toward new players.
ship xp is very easy get high points somehow. remember once got 7953.I had a major brain fade when i saw the result.lol
yeah, giving the enemy a way to heal really makes this an xp farm
