No this is not World of Batleships !

[Black0rchid]

I still don't think that this game has balance issues, seriously, I don't:

 

 

 

REALLY !!! Someone still doubts that there should be a BB cap ?!?!

[Skurfa]

No? Why?

 

I'm pretty sure the drivers had fun

[Unintentional_submarine]

Well, duh! There's a carrier on each team.

And euh, what were you driving there? You could have been a T8 cruiser you know

Ye know what? If I were one of those CVs, I'd go all chat and tell the enemy CV:

 

"Let's make this a game. Fighters only allowed to use against catapult aircraft and spotting. First one to kill all opposing BBs wins. Let the harvest begin!"

[Albert_Poop_Decker]

looks like a wind-up to me

Why I don't get this MM when I play my CV.

Not to be a party pooper, but isn't that a bannable offense?  

That said, even without strange deals, this has all markings of interesting CV environment - even if the enemy is AS set-up, there's going to be so many heroes sailing alone in every possible direction, that finding unprotected targets shouldn't be much of an issue. Especially the first couple deaths so that they're spread a bit thinner.

 

On another note, however: I think the MM actually does, intentionally or as an unintended result of other rules (like forced CV mirror MM coupled with cap on waiting time) what some people have suggested as a solution for long BB queues. Normally the 5 BB limit kinda holds, but then tere come games that have pretty much ONLY (save for CV, of all things ) BBs.

i would like this kind of setup when i was chasing mikasa mission... i weirdly got good MM (max 5 BB per team) even though there were hundreds of BB in waiting list...

These battles with insane BB numbers mostly happen when a CV has been waiting in queue for a long time (> 3:30 min). Eventually a second CV joins and the matchmaker then immediately launches a battle with whatever else happens to be in queue at the time (usually lots of BBs).

BB Player complaining about too many BBs. Amazing.

Guess there are no reasons to complain about other classes now?

And this is why WG won't fix CV.

Don't like all BB matches when playing BB ?

Stop playing BB. You're just part of the problem.

[P2Win]

As a battleship player...Why can't I get matches like these? I call photoshop!

[Miessa3]

"No this is not World of Batleships !"

 

Well yes it is actualy. Just google "wows" or "world of warships" and look at the headlines of the top 3 hits.

Tried to do that. Did a few matches in my Atago. Then I decided cleaning my flat was more fun...

Really, BB meta, weak CA, absent CV whine gets more tiresome that the phenomenon itself.

[RenamedUser_92906789]

lock inbound... Not constructive.

I actually think this would be a nice way to deal with the overload of BBs.

Remove the CVs as well.

Duke it out, Battle of Jutland style.

Last man standing, wins.

This literally would eventually happen automatically IF the long BB queue was actually causing really long wait times for BBs. Once a ship is in queue long enough, many "hard" rules get dropped. That's how you can get 5v5 matches (especially if there's just very few players in the queue) or strange set-ups like the one seen in the screen. The reason we don't see many battles like this is because the 300+ waiting BBs are the same BBs, so the delay of a minute or two to join the match causes them to return to queue later and this, in turn, causes the other class players (rotating faster) to make up for missing ships. Leading to waiting times - while considerably longer than almost-instant the other classes experience - to stay well within acceptable limits where all the normal MM rules still hold. Basically, what we learned from current situation is that even with 3-digit BB queue, the waiting time stays reasonable.

 

So... 3BB/team limit when?  

[WashedandDeceased]

Wait.. why aren't BB drivers happy about this MM? No puny cruisers to instadelete?

 

1. Smoke OP? No smoke here..

2. Fires OP? Well unless a BB driver starts spamming HE there will mostly be AP shells flying around

3. DDs/Torpedoes OP? Just stay more than 6km away from Tirpitz players and you'll be fine

 

And please don't tell me that combined the AA from 2-3 battleships all of which (can) run double fighter can't handle CV drops..

 

All in all I think that's a great way to deal with the influx of BBs..

Could of been fun if the cv's wasnt there, sit behind rock and spam HE all day on that map

Lost a match with Martel yesterday : Had Arsonist, Confederate, Witherer...

I don't know why, but for once yesterday my team weren't camping. They happily went to suicide instead. Did a straight 7 loss without a single win, and gave up at this point... 

 

Also I think we're just gonna keep having these topics as long as the issue isn't resolved.
