DrCaesar Beta Tester 76 posts 4,754 battles Report post #1 Posted August 26, 2016 We have a limitation on amount of CVs in a team, something like this will come to DDs as i know(maybe already came, sorry if i don't know).Right now we need limitation on BBs too.Already %35 of players were playing with BBs before releasing of German BBs(thats a bigger number than other classes) and i'm sure that numbers are increased since we get German BBs.Bottom tiers are full of German BBs but thats not the biggest problem.High tiers are full of BBs too.And they are not German BBs most of the time.This really discourages people about playing cruisers.So problem grows more and more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[T_D_G] B010011A Players 389 posts 9,821 battles Report post #2 Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) I think that this poll is unnecesary since there's that much BBs cause they just introduced german ones. Wait till the hype goes down to the ground then you'll end up having like always 3-4 DDs per team and 3-4 BBs. Edited August 26, 2016 by B010011A 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm talking about high tiers: Most of the games are still with 5 BBs per team and those BBs are mostly Japanese or American Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[-OOF-] ollonborre Beta Tester 2,598 posts 12,758 battles Report post #4 Posted August 26, 2016 And when the British cruisers arrive the game is going to be oversaturated with cruisers for the first 1-2 weeks, so should we limit cruisers then aswell? Nah it's just a case of new ships syndrome. Like above poster said give it some time and it should resort back to more normal levels. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SCRUB] AgarwaenME Beta Tester 4,811 posts 13,808 battles Report post #6 Posted August 26, 2016 As he's noted, this isn't merely a case in low tiers which is expected to be saturated with KM BBs. BBs are much too common in games for what they are, and since they are the largest threat against other BBs, we end up with games where BBs turn around at the mere sight of another BBs, and the only way to play in a BB becomes "sail toward enemy, then stop and go back and forth a bit while only using your bow turrets".

Azalgor Beta Tester 1,046 posts 20,419 battles Report post #15 Posted August 27, 2016 Whats the point of this discussion? Someone shows a lot of broadside in a cruiser and didnt instal WASD hack? BB are HP pinatas for CAs, and a wet dream for any DD, since CVs die out thanks to constant restrictions, high tiers rarely see them at all, no point in going past tier 8 unless you want a 20+ min wait for a match...And since they didnt limit DDs when there were 12+ per battle, this is unlikely to happen too. Theyll sooner remove CVs from games at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Devs will just wait a month or two so german bb hype will cooldown and if that % is higher than what it used to be(31.5%) BBs will get spanked Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vanhal Alpha Tester 5,609 posts 5,569 battles Report post #18 Posted August 27, 2016 nope its not a new ship syndrome. Devs in a Q&A before german BB line release said that battleship player amount is %31.5 and that is too close to crossing the border. Lot of that is probably because they are BB. Lots of players came to this game specifically to play them. Again, like in DD case, if they think it's too much, MM is the way to fix that, not nerfs.

You don't understand. BBs are terribly under powered and it is a miracle there is as many of them as there are. We shouldnt be nerfing BBs or buffing their counters but continue to buff BBs and nerf their counters. Maybe WG should nerf HE and fires next. They have already nerfed the CVs and DDs a bit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, They want a 7% CV population, that leaves 93% for the other 3 types of ships, or 31% per type. Only natural that one of the 3 normal types of ships uses 1/3 of the total.

[PKTZS] JapLance Weekend Tester 2,567 posts 18,265 battles Report post #24 Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) This has been a problem much earlier than the arrival of German BBs. WG raised the number of max BBs per battle to 5 a couple of patches ago, making cruiser player life absolutely miserable. German ships have just increased the problem (Scharnhorst anyone?). Cruisers are unplayable right now due to the excessive numbers of BBs, so what will that cruiser player do: take a BB. Vicious circle.
