  • 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.

Which many disagree with. I think in GB2, the smaller ships should have the ability to
have some sort of weapon system to stand up to larger ones. This is balanced by having
long reload time and short range.

Actually the easiest fix to this would be to remove the ability for HH to do damage to ANY
surface ships at all.

I agree with this. I saw a player tooling around in a DD and PHH spraying them and
running out of range. I wouldn't care, but what he is doing is not only ruining the game
expereince for everyone else, he's stunting the growth of new players. 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????

Also, this sort of behavior is exactly what is fueling all the hate toward PHH. If it were
in GB2, that would be one thing as the damage the other ships can inflict is 5x a PHH.
This is blitz, it just isn't very sportsman like.

The TI-TII subs should be in Blitz.

If subs were in blitz, then it would make HH in Blitz more viable. As it is right now
though, it ends up being a higher damage output than the biggest guns you can place on a
normal CA. Each HH individually doing 700 - 900 damage, in a cluster of 40 shots, and then
exploding for the ones that miss.

It basically allows someone to buy the i win button.
