BB1 is a capital ship, you want to play support, use a CL/CA. I hate those BB4 and BB5 that only AA in matches and let me in a BB3 trying to keep enemy back. Players need to learn to line-fight and BB1(like UK) will finally be able to use it's armor which is useless in GB for BB1 and BB2.
All GB does is teach people to camp and creates boring matches where everybody is afraid of playing aggressively. They can only rely on killing rushing noobs. This works out good until you play BB456 rooms where some leech and only the most experience players engage and tries to actually push the enemy.
For KM nation, which is a nation designed to fight against it's own tiers, this will be great. KM range with really low firepower is only food against BB's 3 tiers above it. KM is horrible in GB rooms.

For CV's it's also horrible. With low level CV you get used to using bombers and locals that teach you nothing on how to play as a CV4 to CV6.

Back in the old days when Blitz was more popular and exp. rate was lower, you learn allot more than now in GB. GB is a horrible place to learn to play. We need a place for new players to gradually get used to the controls first, then develop strategy in GB. This way people get used to using every BB, and not just the BB5.
Also, this game was introduced with only the BB123 and CV123. T4, T5 and T6 ships where later added. Having BB123 playing together is better for learning. Learning how to play a BB3 in GB, does not teach you how to play your BB4 later on in GB. The support play-style is completely different from that of a capital ship.
Also, finally a fun gamemode, with less exp. rate then GB. If you wanna powerlevel a BO, you will be forced to do it the hard way in a GB with BB456 and high level PBB's. People with low level crews can enjoy playing Great Blitz.

Activity on Kaiser probably won't be able to support this new game. Nebraska server can. If activity becomes to low, people adapt and will all go play GB instead of a mid level and low level room.
I used to play in Yamato before the server merges and I have played at every time. I noticed that when activity comes to an all time low, everybody just plays GB. Blitz room that open don't fill up with more then 3 people. Also, the grind from level 1 to 90 takes less then the grind time from 105 to 120. So fearing THIS will cause NO room to fill is nonsense. People adapt.
GB will be played by players that:
- Have a T6 ship already.
- Players that want to level new crew in their old PBB with 2-3 lvl 120 support.
- Players that want to level fast.
Great blitz:
- New players(first crew).
- Players that want to level slowly having fun.

Same way BB1 is more fair then a BB3 in a blitz, a BB4 as a BB6 in that room will be more fair then an actual BB6 vs BB123 in GB. Seriously, this isn't even an argument.
Also, the only reason BB6 cause havoc in GB rooms is because there are to many low level BB123 in GB rooms and the 2-3 BB5's are forced to face this BB6 alone with the support of 1-2 BB5. With less inexperienced BB123 in GB, it makes BB6's easier to kill and less overpowered, since it will have to face against more BB5's in order to win.
