  • a BB1 & BB2 battle mode?

Heres what I kind of noticed, if you disagree your welcome to voice ur opinions, so long
as you don't end up flaming me.

As a player who has just hit a BB1 and I'm sure others who have hit their BB1s/BB2s have
realized, in blitz you can do your stuff, but your not invincible, while in a GB your
food. To put it justly your even more food than say a DD.

What I'm trying to suggest is maybe implement a battle mode that allows only BB1 drivers
to BB2 drivers, with a level limitation cap of whenever the lowest level BB1 starts and
right before BB3s start. This would allow BB1s and BB2s to actually have fun doing
something instead of being eaten the second they go into a GB. So by the time these BB1
and BB2 drivers hit their BB3s they can join GB again. However, for this kind of battle,
there shouldn't be the extra EXP gain that is possible with GB, the exp should be
identical to how exp is gained in blitz.

Comments, opinions? post it below ^^

So what you are saying is you would like a blitz part 2 .. lets say from lv 61 to 80.

Judging by the amount of BB1s and BB2s currently in blitz and GB, I think there would be
quite a few people who will be playing this mode.

Anyways :P if u guys like the idea, recommend! :D

"""""BB1 can do fine in GB environment and that goes even more for BB2."""""

RLY?

suuure... with 900SD, every ship is good.

anyways, if you talk a BB1, say Alaska, even with 2 guns and like 2-300 SD, at most, it
might hit like 3 times... doing no significant damage (maybe talking out or finishing off
a significant ship from time to time, but for most blitz grads: playing smart doesn't
really exist).

as for BB2: certainly, but it once again depends on SD, and skill(which, at BB1/2 stage is
usually poor).

anyway... a BB1-2 game might be nice.

A good aim can override all of those things. I've 1v1'd most of the best players in this
game and won with the same ship, even though my crews are severely disadvantaged.

Stefa you do make a good point, and in some cases yeah BB1s and BB2s can do okay in GB.
Right now even I can kinda survive in GB, but for many other people including my friend,
he feels like he's just food in GB. So this isn't a suggestion to help out the few BB1 and
BB2 drivers that can survive in GB, but rather to help out the great many BB1 and BB2
drivers that would like to have a battle where they aren't food for BB5s with block, but
rather have a relatively equal playing field where they can be competitive, have fun
(meaning actually do something rather than getting eaten all the time) and gain some what
reasonable amounts of EXP.

Thanks for your comments, keep em coming ppl :D

Fromage, things like rld, spread, OH speed/time and rep rate do matter though :P

"Blaze if theres no level capping, then someone can slap on level 120 gunners on a BB1 and
come and murder everybody."

>>>> BB1 = BB1 = BB1. If you're a GOOD player, then you can beat a high level user
playing BB1. It's about range, not crew, and range is independent of crew.

I disagree. BB1 can do fine in GB environment and that goes even more for BB2. I've
played US, IJN and UK past BB2 now and never had any trouble getting my xp in
GB's. (And before we get the 'NY is n00b server' argument, I played em all on AZ
before transfer). I actually have to admit I like playing a lower tier BB better than a
BB4. I absolutely love my fuso and ise, get lots of games over 100k, some even
above 200k. Yes, you are outdamaged and outranged, but in my opinion it adds to
the challenge. Creating a BB12 gamemode would just be BK2, allowing you to keep
farming easy food until you hit BB3. After that, you'll want a BB34 mode, since higher
tiers still farm you etc.
Ow, and I played em all with at lvl crews, and it is quite possible to have fun in these
ships in my opinion.

Good recommendation, but I think it would be hard to get people to come... even
without level cap.

If you want a BB1-2 room, jus make one and label as such... BB1-3 I see on
occasion... jus make sure not to allow pbb's

You make a good point about having higher level gunners for better spread, (my own gunners
are higher level than the rest of my crew) but lets say we raise the cap to beyond BB3 for
sailors but cap it so the sailors are not uber leveled (ie. BB1s with block running
around) but to keep things fair limit the boats to BB1 and BB2 only.

The sailor level cap would not allow for the BB1s and BB2s to achieve like super tight
spread. (just to keep things fair)
