The definitive proof that BBs are NOT hard capped at 5 per team

[Horin728]

Just take a look at this... What the hell was that MM :D 

Spoiler

 

What the hell was that :D 

[Live85]

Where did you read that there's a battleship cap in place? anyway, that looks like a fun match. Poor Balti though.

[ColonelPete]

And that is known for how long?

[SomeoneYouKnow2]

It's a 5 per side soft cap... But since there are even more in the que sometimes the MM dumps the leftovers into a single game.

[Kazomir]

Wait for the brit BBs to come. More BBs and more radar. So less DDs and more space for even more BBs which will drive cruisers away for even more BBs. Cool eh?

[WolfGewehr]

I see that Balti just wanted to prove that there are no no-go zones for a lonely cruiser

[Horin728]

I just wanted to have this thread named that way since in every discussion about nefring BBs there are people who say that there is a hard cap... Now I can just link them here.

[DreadArchangel]

Naw they say they are, but their not, because there is so many BB players now a days, they got to put them somewhere.

 

I myself think 5 is to much, there should be about the same as carriers or bout 2-3 the rest being made up of cruisers and dd's.

It is not hard to put a limit per game /per team , is it?

4 BBs out of 12 ships seems pretty reasonable.

If you wait in queue for long with your BB, maybe people will drop them and play CLs and DDs instead.

Posting a proof that BB are not (hard)capped, needs someone in the first place who states that BB are (hard)capped. But that never happend! So, your whole thread is meaningless (despite the attention-seeking aspect).

I doubt this. They would come to the forum and complain that they have to wait too long for a game.

Can't wait for the day when WG will introduce their solution for the current BB flood.

It is logical from common sense kind of perspective, apart from gameplay one.

I mean, 1 capital ship (BB or CV) was protected from a couple of smaller vessels (CLs or CAs) and several really small (DDs).

Just try to get in an argument with a dedicated BB player that there are too many BBs, there are a lot of people who will say "But there is a cap - 5 per team, I have NEVER seen a game with more!"

Now I have somewhere to link those people to.

Welp, with this you are not wrong. But I just highlighted some of your own words. Now connect them to the player base.

If you have bothered to read answers to the last 10 identical whine threads you would know that it is SOFT cap, and it is secondary to some other rules of MM like maximum wait time.

If YOU had bothered to read the OP, instead of jumping straight into a reply after only reading the title, then your worthless reply wouldn't look so stupid, but thanks for the laugh anyway!

[El2aZeR]

Soft cap can be exceeded if someone (in ANY ship class, not just CVs) comes close to or exceeds the 5 minute waiting time. With BBs being by far the most overpopulated class right now, ofc they're gonna be in the majority in such a case.

 

On the other hand, I remember back during the torp soup times I had games with 6+ Shimas per side. That was a... "fun" experience.

Oh well, it happens. The forum is so filled to the brim by anti-BB circlejerk that i indeed thought it's yet another brainfart of theirs. Even though it's logical that all-BB battle would be paradise to CV.

Oh just lol, for some one thread per week is "anti BB" yet half the forum filled with demands to nerf smoke, torps or CVs is "just logical".

 

Also, with the current game, that many BBs just create a no-fly zone around themselves.

Interesting MM. Any post-battle screens to share?
