think of the kita's

hivemind?

How about the option to cap a crew at 60, and make it just a blitz crew?

Enjoying blitz is distracting, sure. I personnaly like leveling new lines CL/CA there. Altough lately its become more of a farmfest than anything.

I know a fleet on NY used to only play blitz, or nearly. They'd put BOs and rotate pilots on a BB/CV so that they always had spares somewhat, and the guy kept a junyo always ready and BWed for blitz.

Its not the way the game SHOULD be played, imo. Missing out on GB experience, of the higher level gameplay penalize the player experience wise, and skillwise.

At level 60, I believe a player have enough experience of the basic (Normally have a good grasp of aiming FCS (that you should be using since at least CL stage) and basic ship movement).

Lately, this has been kinda ruined by PHH shotgun playstyle, and even before that hobbit war map.


Blitz needs to return to what it was before, even before CV and BB in my opinion, and be a ground of formation for DD through CAs, teaching people to keep their range in CA/CLs, and how to smart rush in DDs.

Right now, it seems it wants people to learn about every do-not of GBs as a viable tactic.

So what happens when someone with GB experience does get in a blitz in its current state? Wipeout thats what.

I didn't read the big wall of text.

But yeah, BO's should not count against caps. Ships levels should, and all other crews should, but BO's should be immune.

alright since you guys are so worried about reload times and accuracy boosts, and for good reason. the kita is a valid argument with high lvl crews torps would be everywhere. what about Rehor's idea of only allowing bos to continue to play blitz for fun? that would force people to retrain the rest of the crew which could be done while not forcing the player to make a completely new bo. so people would not use this to farm as they would basically have to rebuild their crew if they wanted to use the ship anyways. yes you might as well train a whole new crew if its like this but i personally love some of my lower level ships and have trained up dummy bos to use them just because i hate that i cant play them in blitz anymore. at least if this change was made no more dummy bos would have to be made for players who love blitz.

perhaps a nerf on ability of higher than lvl sailors could make this problem go away. If for example taking a lvl 120 rep into blitz it only behaves as it did when it was lvl 60, you could also set it up so that putting high level sailors on lower level boats makes them weigh less (like a sub) but they take an ability penalty for how much weight you have to take off.

Sorry about the poor wording if you don't understand i'll try and explain again later
