Bad_Mojo_incoming Players 225 posts 5,151 battles Report post #1 Posted March 25, 2020 Could you PLEASE remove this pointless, lazy [edited]map from the game? Or at least make it bannable? I know it's designed not to pop up often, but even once, every 100 games is too much. Yesterday, I played my Massachusetts and got this map with tier 10 MM....Imagine the fun I had... Here's the replay...The only reason I finished on top is because my team played even worse than I did, and I'm a mediocre player at best. Please, either remove the map or make it bannable, like you can ban 1 map in World of Tanks. If it can be done there, then it sure as hell could be done in WoWs. 20200324_185633_PASB518-Massachusetts_00_CO_ocean.wowsreplay 2 2 6 25 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So that players like you, who have no issues with this map would still get it occasionally, but players like me, who hate it could ban it from popping up and wouldn't need to play on it if I don't want to. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many players would also prefer not to play with epicenter mode, or with no CV. But you can't pick and choose. This is random. For certain ships this map is unplayable or hard to play, not for most. Especially for a BB? It's not changing your playstyle. The main issue is that people get crazy on this map and start doing questionable things. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The main issue is that people get crazy on this map and start doing questionable things. Hey, don't mix up game mode or ships with the map. I hate epicentre as much as everyone else and I have ZERO love for carriers, but those can both be dealth with using the MAP...if the MAP itself is just a strip of ocean...where range and spotting (and RNG of course) tops skill any day then IMO that's not right. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[MOYAI] KielYourself Players 350 posts 16,980 battles Report post #8 Posted March 25, 2020 Its a great map, dont know why people hate it. It actually requires people to use their brains for once and not all camp behind 1 island and do nothing. It should be rotated in more. 26 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same issue when you're a DM/Salem/Worcester/Colbert. You don't see big issues? How? This map makes some ships rather useless and its a pain in the a*s to play anything short ranged. And its especially joyfull with a CV involved which prevents playing with range and concealment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[FAILS] BruceRKF Players 1,077 posts 27,204 battles Report post #13 Posted March 25, 2020 I find Ocean to be a pleasant occasional respite from all the island camping. No hiding on that map. I prefer it to some of the other high tier maps, e.g. Mountain Range. 17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SYD] Molly_Delaney Players 1,200 posts 4,600 battles Report post #16 Posted March 25, 2020 I like it and don't see it enough.... Because: it makes you play carefully, not just rushing towards your favourite island and making it your waifu. You have to be careful and keep checking the minimap and be prepared to run away from big ships with big guns. Plus the 20km torps keep everyone on the toes for 'Random torpedo spam'...... 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[H-M-S] huymog Players 44 posts 16,767 battles Report post #21 Posted March 25, 2020 I think that the problem people have with this map is that it does not come up often enough. The immediate response is, hell, no islands now what do I do. Ocean does put some ships at a disadvantage, mostly those that are the best at exploiting laying up close to islands. The opposite is also true if you choose to take an open water ship. The real issue with the map is that it is so rare that players can not develop their skills and tactics appropriate to the map. 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[R7S] lovelacebeer Players 4,158 posts 25,226 battles Report post #22 Posted March 25, 2020 Weird I love Ocean it gives me a lot more freedom to play as I want rather than having to island hop all the time. Still I guess we all have our hated maps I for one loath North/Northern lights, and I get that map a lot, I would be in heaven if I got Ocean as often as I get North. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would prefer to see it much more often in the rotation. If we are given the choice of banning some maps through personal settings, Ocean would not be my choice, but there are several other maps I would indeed like to drop off my map rotation. 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
