How about LAST remaining ship surrender by request of either team.  Battle ends there and survivor loses half of remaining HP and pays the repair on it.

Why would you want to surrender, do you really suck that bad that you can't take someone down with you.

​When I get out to the middle and get swamped by several ships that are all supporting their cappers, then realize all the guys on my team went sideways to the wall, or are playing chase the tail at the spawnline.

I would give credits to change sides.

Seriously this. If you are alive you keep playing, if you are dead you go back to your port

Last ship alive is often a CV or a BB (which has been hiding in back botting for a win by the rest of the team to carry their captain up a few points).

After having quite a few games that looked destined to lose but we managed to pull a victory out of, I'm really strongly against the idea of allowing a team to surrender. You really don't know the true outcome of a battle until the very, very end sometimes.

It's already effectively in the game in those cases when the losing team has gone below 0 points, while there are still ships remaining.  You could look at it as a Mercy Rule.

This is just a game not a competition that will change your life and the lives of others. I would rather the option to SCUTTLE the ship in any game mode which would leave your ship to sink period.  Just like some players who are not playing their best or engaged to play its all the same. Just go.  No ones forcing you to play and if anyone thinks so they are so immersed into WOW they need a shrinks evaluation.  

 

The only exception is where you are on a competitive team and have already practiced routines with individuals to obtain a win and a strategy - thats another story.

I feel like the system can be abused. A lot of other things that wargaming should be implementing before even thinking about this idea.

4 against 1.  The only "Solo Warrior" I've earned was in the worst ship "Myogi" in my fleet.  Killed the last 4 of the enemy and won the match.  Stranger things have happened.

Op well thought up poll but sorry in a game like this I don't want to have the option to surrender I like to take that small chance of winning or die doing as much damage as I can

It always amazes me last ship floating running away from a bunch of enemy ships no way to win, turn in to them and die like a warrior fighting instead of looking like Pee Wee Herman .... Start another game for God sakes

Surrender would just prolong the agony

Instead of surrender you should have the individual option to scuttle your ship... A self detonation that awards nobody anything but you still have to pay for repairs etc...  Can come in handy when you need to leave or if you are the last one left and just want to end it...
