BB’s. JUST. DO. YOUR. JOB.

[Bear__Necessities]

BB’s for the love of ships just do you’re damn jobs proving alpha strike and weight to a flank. More and more games are being lost by BB’s who’s 1st port of call is to run to the map edge... and guess who’s always left last to die. BB’s with full HP in the back. 

 

But its ok. My light cruiser with 32k HP can tank 1.9 million a game on your behalf...

 

BB players... *sigh*

They do their job of preventing off map enemy reinforcements admirably, what else do you need

Don't forget magical pot of glue dat can be found at toineh border!

Plus they don't loike it when el2azer touches dem.

 

Reminds of AW where you have no guides and heavily armoured MBT's just sit at the back.

4 BBs last night on Land of fire

 

Needless to say we got facerolled

The Monarch from C said at the beginning: Watchout for the T9-10 ships... you immediately know, you are in the crap

 

2 games later on Tears of the desert... When half the enemy team is like, we dont want the objective (epicenter) we go to the corner of the map, and your team is like "HOLD MY BEER"

Literally every enemy ship has full HP ofc. Even the Iowa which rammed our Vladi to death came back with >50k

i find this scenario almost every match. someone spawns at the East flank and says (to themselves) "hell no, i don't like it here, i like the other side more" and they proceed to sail across the map to the West flank without actually doing anything (and/or vice versa, from the West to the East). takes them 5-7 minutes to get there. if you find 2-3 of them you spend the first half of your game without BBs. so cruisers have to push/defend. and they usually die in the process. so if you're one of them BBs that actually do their job and push with the cruisers you get focused next. and die. when the "cross-map sailors" get to their preferred flank the outcome of the game has already been decided. the worst thing is that they (the "cross-map sailors") then usually proceed to insult everyone for being dead. "noob cruisers, 5 minutes into the game and they're dead! can't win with these damn' fools!" makes me want to chew on my keyboard..

Friend wanted to grind t6 yesterday so I went to play Dallas a bit. Unsurprisingly, all t8 games.. and my BB's seemed to expect me to tank for them in a t6 cruiser. Meh.. still did ok but I get triggered when I see like 5 top tier BB's with full health all hiding behind an island in a single grid square. There weren't even smolensks in that game... 

[Jethro_Grey]

It's basically Standard now, you rarely have BB Players that are doing what they are supposed to do. 

 

Sometimes, after i politely (at first) ask them to support, stop sniping/ camping/ hiding/ running, i almost can 'hear' their Reply,

which sounds a lot like:

 

'...bok, bok, bok, booook...'.          

[Captain_Newman]

The problem is, knowing when and where to push requires a few functional braincells, and of course some awarenes. Hence most BB players die almost instantly when they try to push, so naturally their solution to this problem is to camp behind island or at map edges.

 

"oh, it's North, must go to my Safe Space behind islands on the 9/10 line, just need to sail past that mystical sign with a crossed over BB icon that WG put there for some mystical, impossible to deduce reason.. what do you mean, I'm being useless? I feel warm and safe here. It's nice, you should try it.. what do you mean we lost? reeee noob team no support..."

[GraySlayer]

I think we are all suffering and guess what..

 

IT'S GONNA GET WORSE BEFORE IT GETS BETTER.

 

ROFL...

[Kenjiro_]

Let's release more Colberts and Smolensks. I'm sure it'll be a huge help... 

[Karasu_Browarszky]

Well.. there is a very good reason IMO why a BB should avoid being at the dead centre of the map.

Do you touch yourself when you think about el2? :)

 

BBs are slow ship with long range. If they ment to fight closer they would be faster with lower range. Dooh. 

 

Also it is only natural you fire HE. AP is DDs ammo. 

 

Dont bash glorious BBs :)

Two and a half thousand posts... And less than 400 battles?

I'm not sure but it might be called trolling?

[illy]

had a frustrating cruiser day today with the BBs, absolutely no commitment, got absolutely slaughtered in my Buffalo when the so called support turned and ran, why did they run? the enemy had an extra cruiser on that side.....run away

He has another failed re-roll account also.

[Rautainen_Biisoni]

We, the BB players, have to wait for all the 32k HP cruisers to die first. Sadly we can't spot them, they kill us really fast and we can't do any damage other than overpens to them. It takes about 15 salvoes to kill one of these 32k HP cruisers and we usually burn to death before our 4th salvo.

Indeed; I would pay real money to have the  vasudan translator voice narate a typical game of wows .....

 

 

A lonely division is trying to carry the pottato harvest, while the bulk of the fucktardfleet camps behind a densely populated group of island far from the caps; the greatest display of cowardice since the last weekend....

The Yamato will remain far from any useful position - and then promptly suicide should we succeed (in carrying).

 

... oh and look, Sathanas - Ill be damned if I dont think CV immediately.

Which is missing the point entirely of this thread and shows why most BB players are abysmal.

 

Offcourse you don't walse straight into the middle of the map and get crossfired to oblivion, and you don't hug the map border, there is a so called middleground where you can position aggressively and effect the battle and tank with an escape plan.

 

When people say BB go tank the random pleb hears that as suicide rush into the enemy team and then complain about no support. Positioning and pushing when the time is right is what most sane people mean by tanking. 

[Rautainen_Biisoni]

This is a far fetched theory about how BB players are abysmal:

 

"My first games is wows:

- Lets try DD. Eat torps in cap. No support from team. Detected. Detonation.

Ok, lets not play that class anymore.

- Lets try CL/CA. Detected. Dev Struck in 3 minutes into the game.

Ok, lets not play that anymore.

- Lets try BB. Nice range. Remember to avoid all the HE rainbows, torps, focus fire and CV planes. I can play at +20km range for quite a while now. Its nice. I still don't understand what is this "broadside" people keep writing in chat."

Yes.. but in this case the effectiveness of the BB in question depends on a) their guns and b) team play. A BB is at its most effective when it can hit the enemy with its guns while enemy ships are forced to stay outside its detection radius. Ideally, that is.
