So I actually really enjoyed Empire and Napoleon naval battles and how they were implemented. I thought Napoleon in particular did well because rather than being a game of chasing army transports, navies played their own game around attacking and protecting the trade routes and that solved a lot of problems of the AI kiting you.

In Shogun and Rome 2 however the Naval battles are so aggressively badly implemented that they're a major downer on the whole game.

The naval battles were such a step back in Shogun. Rome 2 is excusable, because they well, don't have ships of the line and cannon, though some greek fire would've been rad. The Shogun AI didn't exist. Also having no land models like Empire was such a bummer.

Just gimme a game that ties it all together CA. (put ships of the line and cannon into Total: Warhammer 2 please)

Rome 2 isn't excusable, if they can't make it fun they should have been brave enough to remove it from the game completely. Instead they wanted their Classical-Saving-Private-Ryan mixed battles and they're terrible.

I disagree. Were they as cool as they could be? Probably not, would I rather they not be in the game? Nah.
