It's probably not dead. I can't always get my BB's into GBs as they are full. Sometimes the same happens with my CV's and on a rare occasion with my SS.
The problem appears to be mainly in blitz rooms. Many players, including myself, have operators and sailors at too high a level to play in blitz rooms. I do have a 2nd nation at low lvl for Blitz rooms.
There are certain times that Blitz rooms do work....usually oriented towards after school/work on the East Coast of the US. During the other times, it's a little hard to get enough players to make a room go.
The problem then, is not enough new players are turning up. It's pretty frustrating to be a low lvl DD in GB. No range, little firepower. That leaves you with sub hunting as your main job. If you get to CL or CA lvl, you are still outranged by the BBs. The best option is usually AA. If you don't like either.....it's no fun.
In both cases, if you are on the winning side, you might get a shot or two off at an enemy ship, but for the most part, you won't. You may play many games before you even sink 1 ship.
So, for a lower lvl players, its not as much "fun" as being in a blitz room where you dodge torpedos and shells and have a chance of sinking somebody.
That's the problem....Kaiser needs more new players.
