You dont vote, then dont complain about politics. I'm not sure how ANYONE could disagree with that statement.
lol.
Heatrr post wasn't advice but a sadly accurate summary of what GB play is nowadays.
Useful to learn how to be a better CV? No. Explaining why to the OP things are in the curent state? Yes.
Often happens I see another BB willingly cutting my way to prevent me from shooting at another BB because it wants the attack.
Its not just CVs that play for themselves in GB. Its pretty much beat the blue dots to sinking the red dots.
As far as I go, I've been playing this game for a few years now, so I know a lot of people on Kaiser.
I know who are good players, some I've been in fleets with at a point or another. We did fleet war and such, and we know each other's playstyle.
So encountering those people in GB, we naturally go back to playing as a team as we are used too. If I have an AA ship, I will first and furthermost cover those players, unless of course they are using a non-capital ship, or there is a really really more skilled player in a similar ship on my team.
Same can be said with CVs. I know who are the CVs that are adept at their jobs, and who are the CVs that aren't.
I know when I have one of the first behind me, I'll relay on him, and him on me. If I need visual. I know he'll do his best to provide it. If a ship threatens him, I,ll gladly fall back and keep him safe at the best of my capabilities, and sometimes get sunk doing it. And I won't mind, and I'd do it again.
The other CVs? They I'll stay on the line and let them die. Why should I take risk if they aint useful to the team? If when asked, they do not care? So they can do like they are used too, and fend off for themselves.
Lately a good exemple of a 2nd type of player happened.
That said player had a CV3 Hiryu. Our south was holding due to me being still there and fighting with a SY. Somewhat, we sunk the flag, but our team wasnt exactly on the good side of the balance for the moment.
Not to the point all was lost, but still. Visual was hard to maintain south. Rather than help, I saw my CV rush past me, and get killed.
I get sunk shortly after by 3 BB5 I was fighting off blind.
On the next room, I see that CV again. When I ask him what happened, he shamelessly claim "lol. I rushed on purpose. Their flag was sunk, and we prolly would have lost anyway"
"You are aware I was still fighting south? That it hadn't fell yet?"
"I dont care. I wanted my win. team can kma"
Still think heatrr is THAT far from the truth of thing concerning some players?
