  • A Slightly Different Take

Rehor
He's an alternate theory pertaining to the "HOLY CRAP THAT BB6 IS WRECKING EVERYTHING" viewpoint circling the current event.

It's not the BB6's fault.

So he sucks, and he goes north, and he farms the living crap out of everything.  Good for him.  A BB6 going north should almost always lose.  I won't detail my viewpoint any further.

So he's at least somewhat competent, and he goes south.  And there south on the other side is . . . jack squat.  Because all the BB's (specifically 4's and 5's) are too afraid to counter him.  And the big CV's do the same thing.  They may go and roll the north, but the enemy BB6 is left to plow the south and has the undercut advantage.  And the lone BB5 that does go south to oppose the 6 . . . well, he's not supposed to win in a one-on-one duel where both sides have reasonable vision (which, obviously, is not a given).

Clearly the wildcard is the flagship, which absolutely blows every theoretical study out of the water, but if YOU do YOUR JOB, you'll have a better chance of winning, because that's all you can do.  And that goes for CV's as well as BB's.

So I've got a challenge for you.  Oppose the BB6.  Don't presume a wasted game the instant you see a BB6 before you bother to expend any effort.

I agree 100%. If the opposing team uses tactics they can take that thing down no problem.

Are you suggesting we go back to the old days with manual balance where it took the host 60secs or so to balance but at least we had balanced battles? A good bb5 with cv support should do ok against a bb6.


Every battle now seems to be a walkover for A/B depending on best bb/cvs.

Be nice to see some close battles again.



I'm not convinced the game is better with the additon of bb6. I might go as far as to say NF would be better without them (and SS).

BB6 fights are not very exciting. Slow and ponderous, no-one wants to push forward.

im am with you 100%. In my paris (i hate the lvl 69-89 grind) i dont run from anny bb there was a games yesterday that i went north with 2 bb4 and we ran in to 2 bb4 yammy and h39 and a monty they bouth ran and left me to figth 3 bb. Another thing is seeing the bb 1 2 that stay in the back and dont fight at all "cus thay can only handel 2-4 salvos"
um hello think about it a bb1-2 takeing 2-4 salvos might save a bb5 from the dmg and wining the game.....

ok thats my rant for the year

But what about attack? They get crap exp with 0 attack so, even if it IS better for the team, they need more exp so they can get a more useful ship.

Why do their job when whinning is far easier and more in the skill range of your average loudmouth?

I see a BB6, safe some players, I see easy xp in a fancy package. So long as you don't dumb rush it in broad daylight out of desesperation after 30 seconds.

Last I've seen, you don't receive a "miracle guide to pwnage" at lvl 120 so food stays food.
