Or has there been a significant increase in battleships and decrease in destroyers being played? I personally find it to be frustrating, there's no variety and it seems that all you need to do to do well is bow tank in a german battleship? Just my observation, what do you guys think?

So you will see a lot of battleships for a week or more, or least till it dies down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should have been around for the Tirpitz release; saw many 12 Tirps vs 12 Tirps battles. This will blow over when the Bismark thing is done and all the shiny has worn off the Hood.

991 [HELLS] GrandAdmiral_2016 Members 2,969 posts 39,908 battles Report post #8 Posted May 21, 2017 While I have played mostly BBs in this campaign, I have also played CA/CLs as well. Wait times were no worse than normal, and I am about halfway through the thing. Nothing out of the ordinary except more Wallet Warriors in HMS Hood! She burns quite nicely, too. Got my 1st Witherer by burning one (among others) down in Belfast! Have had some high-scoring losses and low-scoring wins and vice-versa. Luck of the draw team-wise on weekends still holds. No dream teams! Fun weekend so far! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is kinda sad that DD main players aren't out in force harvesting them. Saw 6 lousy DDs in queue at the time I saw that many BBs.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

679 [CVLOV] Francois424 Beta Testers 3,640 posts 2,638 battles Report post #13 Posted May 21, 2017 We always get these threads after a new BB line is put out, or a (good/popular) BB premium. Not that I don't agree BB is played a lot, but it's made worse by the event and new premium Hood. It's always been that way since CBT. A lot of BBs played, even when DD/CVs where insanely OP, and cruiser fires was even worse than now. BBs are just popular I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

57 [FAQUE] Tembin Members 523 posts 8,092 battles Report post #15 Posted May 21, 2017 Two words: Bismarck Campaign Agreed. I don't play BB much, but I pulled out my Grosse Kurfurst for four matches today. Many of the missions are just easier in BBs like raw damage, and some missions require BBs.

Many of the missions are just easier in BBs like raw damage, and some missions require BBs. Some missions also require CVs, CAs, or a DD. And take out the Hood matches, there are as many BB specific missions as CV ones. I won't disagree that some missions are easier in a BB, but others are easier in CAs or even DDs.

I think they're looking at the queue in the lobby waiting to get into a game. I'm seeing 1-3 CV, 80-135 BB, 9-15 CA/CL, and 2-10 DD in the lobby. Games seem to be a bit BB heavy more often than not, but I've only had one game yesterday that had no DD, and many have 4-5DD per side. I think the Bismarck campaign's tasks for 100 BB main gun hits being fairly easy to get, many are pushing that task for completion of the mission. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
