why can't we scuttle?

[OstwindFlakpanzer]

we should be able to scuttle.  you know - when you're on a team where all 5 of your idiot dds die in the first 30 seconds.  no point in continuing might as well sink yourself.

[Capt_JollyRoger]

lmbo...  Good one.

 

 

Wrong attitude I will tell you that.

There is, it's called sail at the enemy guns blazing because you should at least do something.

[Anumati]

Or maybe you could get good.

[CylonRed]

Just what we nee - people who scuttle themselves for the hell of it - just because they can.

[deresistance]

Signs of a good player.   Good players play to the end and for objective.    Regardless if your team will defeat its good to still try and try for the team.  Good come backs happen this way.  its also good for your stats.     A team who thinks they will lose, already lost

Scuttling a ship was use to prevent your enemy the spoils of war and secrets aboard the ship. This game has ZERO secrets and to deny your ship is to deny your efforts. If Scuttling was introduced in this game I say Punish the captain with a loss of rank, and ship removal from 1 week to 1 month from play.With a credit and exp loss of double the norm.

Been in a game with 1 DD left and reds had 5 ships left.  DD sunk em all. No sh#t.

And then when you run out of shells and torps you have the crew throw rocks at them and go down in a blaze of freaking glory with a pint of rum. Come get me Bit$%#s!!!!  

[marcmad]

If you absolutely don't want to be killed by the enemy, you can torp yourself as a CV or attack an ally, ideally setting flood and fire and have it last until the reflection damage kick in. Both method are detrimental to your team and stupid, they will reward you with a lot of reports.

You can't scuttle because your crew would mutiny.

 

Oh, wait...

I'd rather have a flock of seagulls attack me in a Walmart parking lot than scuttle my ship.

Hey, don't give up. You never know what will happen.

You think that DDs are 100% essential to winning? I've been in many battles where my team lost all DDs while the reds still had 1 or 2 and it was a win. If losing all of your team's DDs is that disheartening to you, maybe you should just play Co-Op.

[Lert]

You can already scuttle. Just sink enough allies until your damage starts getting reflected.

[RedSeaBear]

If you're going to loose than suck it up and take as many ships with you as you can.

Scuttling is the cowards way out and is frowned upon by the Sinksalot Fleet. 

[1SneakyDevil]

I'm in favor of scuttling ONLY if you have to research the ship all over again.

 

So if you scuttle an Iowa then you need to play NC again until you have enough ship XP to research and purchase Iowa again.

 

Other than that I've not issued so many +1's in the same thread in ages.

[StableGenius]

Just delete your account.... You know how many people it will do on purpose? Just to **** up the team? If you can’t handle a game where teamwork is essential then you need to move on and uninstall and play something like the Sims or so...

It's nothing as noble as that. It's simply that if you don't want to play your ship, don't press the [edited] battle button.

"But I don't like the matchmaking!"

Yeah suck it up like everyone else and if you must die without doing actually trying to play just W forward into the red team and atleast soak up some shells and light up some enemies.

If we follow same line of logic, US should have scuttled USS Enterprise (and all other remaining aircraft carriers) after Pear Harbor was bombed.
