i love the 3x3 style on the smaller map. i think it would make a great addition to the game types. 

1. for divisons to practice together.

2. just a change from the normal play types.

3. practice for dds who wana fight other dds close up.

Despite initially getting huge hit on my win ratio (until I got a hold how to play this format), I enjoy this format so much, that I am actually not looking forward to rank out. I do not plan to intentionally loose, just to have more battles, but I did entertain a thought about that.

 

Maybe something like WG plans with Asymmetric Battles: you get tokens by playing randoms, that allow to play 3vs3?

I don't like it: one bad player in your team and you're humped.

I like the 3v3 format but not the all in one cap point, leads to the same playstyle as co-op; charge into the middle followed by furball.

 

Either standard battle or 3 caps would make it more tactical.

except a battle lasts 3 mins. So if you lose you have chance to win fast again.

Problem with 3v3 is if one Roon on your team decides to torp from the border then 1/3rd of your team is torping from the border.

Again thats secondary,  I took out Buffalo, she is litteraly usless unles you get to pop a DD early (essentially him beeing mor*n) if you get a double BB across and Alska or similar agaisnt you you are literally doomed no matter what... You cant exert close pressure on them, ergo it will basically be 3 vs 2 ergo you stay alone in 3 min... Not to mention half of the time you have a Georiga agaisnt you and you cant kite her couse she just slams through your deck and bye boyo... :cap_horn:

3 vs 3 while one side can be divisioned and the other 3 solo players ? That would be a WR boosting mode. We have enough fake WR players already.

Straight outta the gate with “this” whatever it can be called. Nice derailing attempt on an honest to goodness post....

hiya.

im interested in finding out why you think its worst ever?

Because:

 

a) You cant use more then 3-4 cruisers and DDs in the mode without gimping yourself and your team making it repetitive and boring, also largely usleless for grinding stuff, even some BBs are of questinable value...

 

b) You dont have a proper team to develop any kind of sensible tactic but you still end up with 2 possible full blown potaoes that can do re** stuff and lose the match, in 1 vs 1 at least you had your own destiny in hand, you fail it was on you, here you have just enough of a team for them to f* you...

 

Thats why

Not gonna lie, 3v3 ranked sprint format was a blast. Ranked out in 20 games but I wish I could play some more. :cap_like:

Sadly WG would never give us greater variety in game modes, it's why all the ranked battles and special events are short term things.

 

To be fair to WG it could well be because of population numbers and they worry about depleted the pool of people in randoms, but WG have no interest in giving us greater diversity.

And yet I can win a 1v3, provided I have the opportunity to control the engagement through islands, smoke screens etc.

One reason I run RPF on everything, I know where the nearest ship is.

 

This 3v3 format on say a standard battle map would make it a much more tactical game;

do you go for:

all out attack, to cap them before they cap you,

defend your cap with only 1 trying to get their cap,

etc

Yep pretty much this...

we were "blessed" the entire day with Brindisi, Ibukis, Saint Louis, RADAR neptunes... enemies? Nah, they had Ägirs and Alaskas almost all the time. Occasionally a Roon, which is still 100 times better than Ibuki.

or how about Iowas and Izumo? Yeah always my team :cap_old: At worst they had Soyuz, which again is much better than those 2 other turds.

I like it except radar makes DD's useless then the BB's secondaries make short work of you, just not having my good games tonight:Smile_amazed:

 

As for cruisers, I cannot name a single one which works well, Neptune needs both HE and the ability to swap hydro acoustic for radar.

Apart from Seattle, all the other the reload is way too long, might try the Roon later.
