World Of Battleships?

[henrychenhenry]

Let's see, the era of Warships in general or the era of Battleships?

I'm sure the cruisers feel special and the carriers won't miss their torps.

[MajorRenegade]

then you never had a team that was 8 dds per side before

[anonymised]

We had maybe 4 games today with 8 cruisers per side. It's tougher believe it or not.

Of course there are odd battles once in a while, but when the hood first came out, I saw record numbers of BBs in queue.

The Queue is still predominately BBs.

[AVR_Project]

Depends on what missions are going on...   US kill IJN -- and vice versa.

[henrychenhenry]

But HazardDrake, I am talking about ~130 BBs in queue vs less than 10 of the other types.

[ReddNekk]

No worries! As soon as CVs start getting AP bombs and begin to quickly wreck BBs and CAs, you'll start seeing a LOT fewer of both.

[henrychenhenry]

Not worried, just wondering about the truth when people saw "World of Battleships."

Just like the MM in last game we were both in :) A lot of cruisers, not as much as that printscreen of yours but 10 out of 24 players were cruisers

Battleships make Wargaming money. That's why the population imbalance has been left like this for 10 months. 

Obviously WG is going to sell more of the most expensive to purchase ships if they are in a strong position in game versus selling 'weak ships'. Not shocking. They know where their bread is buttered.

[hipcanuck]

Not always all battleships.

[Aardvar]

As I have posted previously, there should be a limit in MM to 4 capital ships - 4 BBs or 1 CV with 3 BBs, then a limit of 3 DDs, and the remaining ships cruisers.  If so enforced, we'd probably see more cruisers and have more interesting games.  In such an environment, I'd mix in my cruisers more frequently than I do now.

I can't say I've ever seen that before.

Don't think I have ever seen a game with more than 6 dds per side.

On top of that, you don't CONSISTENTLY get higher tier games with 6 DDs per side.

 

Getting games with 5 or more BB per side is a regular occurrence.

We'll see.  If AP bombs do make it to the game in any meaningful way they will quickly go the way of torps, beaten to a bloody pulp with the nerf bat.

This, and the fact that the planes carrying them will still die, and you wont do as much damage to CA/CL and DD's. Even if it does become a problem and CV's are rampant people will just add 1 or 2 more AA skills / modules and really obliterate planes.
