Why historical naval operations fit World of Warships only selectively

Convoy defense and a Jutland-inspired operation offer historical themes for World of Warships, although realistic fleet operations do not always suit its arcade gameplay.

Question

What historically based collaboration or mode would suit World of Warships?

Short answer

Convoy escort against submarines or a Jutland-style operation could work, provided the historical theme produces an enjoyable game mode.

Notes

World of Warships uses historical ships in an arcade game, so realistic naval operations do not automatically produce enjoyable game modes. A convoy-defense mode could give anti-submarine escorts and submarines opposing objectives. An earlier Halloween mode already used submarines infiltrating a naval base spread across an island chain. A Jutland-inspired operation could concentrate on a large battleship engagement while cruisers and destroyers fought elsewhere. Such an operation would still need to be enjoyable, since a historically themed fleet action could become dull under the game's conditions.
