  • Alternative to CA/BB game type

Let me start out by saying that I have NEVER seen a CA/BB room played in my entire time on
NF. I propose we make a room type above blitz, but still with a lvl cap. I'm going to
call it "Line Battle" as a working title for now.

Line Battle---

Maximum of--
16 BB class Ships
6 CV class Ships
10 CA class ships
10 CL class ships
10 DD class ships
10 FF class ships

The maximum level of any sailor will be level 90 (This will allow BB4 class ships, but not
the proper guns for those ships. This is tentative, might be lowered to 88 lvl max)

The time limit on the battle will be calculated the same as GB1.

The default map will be no way out 1, and the default size would be 48, and minimum player
number would be 24. XP gain should be very similar to GB1.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reasons why this would be benificial:

Would get more players using T2 planes, and increase the enjoyment of CV2-4.

Get people into their BB2-3's and not leeching/being practice targets for BB5's.

Giving people a reason not to AA until lvl91 and frustrate GB2 CV's as much.

Encourage more than just GB2 rooms.

If you have any ideas feel free to chime in, I'd like to see a very good discussion on
this. I appologize if this idea was brought up before.

The difference between a CA and a BB3 is a lot smaller than CA and BB5-6. Yes I
understand that CA's and under will have a minimal impact. The point is to let people
with a BB3 be able to actually have a good atk/exp game. I am a CV player mainly, and I
know how frustrating it is to have lvl 60 T2 FP's and not even be able to scout because
they are so slow and have no chance against T4's. The line battle is to give players a
chance to learn how to play a BB without having to get one shot by BB5's in every room.
It gives CV players a chance to learn how to scout and not HAVE to use locals to shoot a
plane down.

Edit: As for the xp issue. I'm assuming that is why BB/CA rooms never worked. That and
the face the lvl was restricted to BO lvl only. My point is that there needs to be a game
where a BB 1-3 can do more than just leech. With GB2 there are too many people that AA,
just because it is better xp than their BB3. That doesn't seem right to me.

"because player complain that Select Rooms don't provide enough XP however in current
Great Battle Rooms, cruisers and low level capital ship players usually have nearly everything
against them as Large Battleships (tier 5 and 6) kill off all the enemy's small ships at
the start of the Battle, Hog all the kills and then at the end of the battle they rush the
surviors denying any of the cruisers and low tier battleship to have their share of kills
forcing cruiser and low tier battleships to leach XP which lengthens their grind until
they can get ships and guns that actually start affecting the battle. And that's only part
of the problems."

BB/CA rooms have the exact same problem. You can pull whatever tier you want but the
highest will always farm the rest.

"With Line Battle, cruisers and Low tier Battleships have more impact on the battle with
out having to worry BB5 and 6 Hoggers."

And worry about BB3/BB4.

GB2 gets relegated to BB5/BB6 battles, which everyone has, and line battle is not used at
all just like the current BB/CA. Aside from aa, no cruiser will ever be an important part
of a battle where there are bb2/bb3+. Same problem.

"Players will have an easier time leveling up and
advancing through the ships. Also in GB2 with less low level targets for the Large
Battleships, there will be more tier 4, 5 and 6s which will make the fight more
challenging."

So we basically relegate GB2 to BB5/6 wars. Yea no

"Also it allows more AA and ASW specialist to get involved"

I don't see why this is the case.
