  • Hedge Hogs in Blitz

To the Devs, mods, whom ever,

The use of hedge hogs in blitz should be banned, or made unavailable. The primary purpose
for this weapon system is anti submarine, and since subs can not partake in the blitz, it
makes this weapon a pointless "I win" button due to its unfathomable amount of damage vs
surface ships of the Battlecruiser class and below.

People are ruining the enjoyment of the blitz game by outfitting speedy little ships doing
70+ knots with nothing but HH. Since they then are able to dodge most of the lowbie
scatter shots and deliver one shot kills with a ton of hedge hogs it makes them nye
invulnerable.

To top it off they don't even need a direct hit to kill, the underwater explosions do the
damage they need so its like getting two shots with one shell.

The easiest fix for this is to remove the ability to enter blitz with the launchers on
your ship. Its a quick and easy and logical fix.

Regards,

I love how some of you spout off without even looking. I read the post. I went in and saw
for myself. I suggest you do the same.

PHH is pretty balanced ;)

See how my lvl 50ish moltke can take on a lvl 120 ship.

"How the heck do you
expect to encourage learning manual mode for a future BB player when there is an idiot
taking advantage of them and giving them no hope of learning????"

THEN REMOVE CVS WITH BOMBERS FROM BLITZ TOO

@lionel second post: well you forgot cl, ca, pca, bb1, cv dont stand a chance against
phh in blitz either.

but really if someone is using HH, there is a 30 sec reload time which are effectively
torps and 500 creds a bind. and PHH cost money and you lose unused ones if you
sink.

what next you want torps banned from blitz cuz 1 or 2 can sink a DD? what next?
armor because low lvl players cant dmg you? PCL cuz they are too small to hit?

then what, you cant TW or no-back-gunsfff? eventually every ship is going to have
preset guns and armor and they will all be the same and can only sail in the same
pattern. you know what thats called?
Communism.

it isnt hard to combat a player with PHH, just shoot them when they rush.

also novemberman is a diff story and everyone saw what happened

Starting from the top...

@OP:
Any ship moving 70+ can not carry enough HH mounts to kill any ship, with the
exception of ships near its tier. Its no different than if they carried torps, except
torps do MORE damage.

Its not like getting 2 shots with one shell. Either it explodes on contact, or it
explodes underwater. Not both.

No, thats not the easiest and most logical fix. Thats the easiest and most logical fix
for YOU because you probably just got blown to shreds by HHs and are now
in /ragemode .

@drake -
They have long reload times. It makes up for the damage, my ddx with 5" duals can
do more damage in 30 seconds than those HHs can in 30.

@captking
T1 subs? Sure. T2s can move too fast, have too many launchers and supports, and
overall would change blitz entirely. And im not entirely at a yes for the t1s either.

@lionel2
No, hes not ruining anyones game or learning experience. If hes getting in and
rushing out of range so quickly in blitz with a blitz CREW then his HH salvos arent
going to be that accurate. As for your statement abotu GB2, its not too much
different. Think about a moltke running up to a L1 with 10 HHs, blasting one side
then the other at angle 10 or so. Both of them are dead.

@Snow
No.


@Lionel2 again
Dont whine about it. Come up with a solution to fix it or hush, in the mean time
theyre not that bad.

lol I'm quite vocal in defense of both DC and HH. I don't think that you realize what the
heck is going on. I thought nothing of it til I walked into blitz and saw it in action.
You can't expect new players to love the game and learn how to play when someone is doing
something so stupid. The DDs and FFs had no chance against the PHH. If you saw it with
your own eyes, you'd agree....

Whats the matter, you fellas dont like a challenge?
I guess you would want depth charges banned also.
With out a bit of variety all the ships would be equipped the same way and fight the
same way.
Different weapons spice it up a bit.
Just outrange those pesky HH guys.
