This shit has never been adressed. In battleship bracket, there's always some retard that spawn a coastal boat and rush the nearest cap to cause ticket bleeding. God forbid if the coastal spawn has early access to 2 out of 3 caps. You're fucked if that's the case.

Just came out of a game on the dreadful Japanese port map where some guy immediately spawned a PT boat to cap A and B. I respond by spawning my Pr 206 to counter and kill him. He then spawns his Wilkinson right in front of me at less than 4 km and obliterates me, naturally. Thought that my teammates were gonna shoot him so I spawn my Bayern. He ends up capping both A and B because no one gives a shit about killing him. The game ends after only 5 minutes.

I don't understand why Naval and Ground share the same ticket system. Naval is much slower than Ground. It's just common sense.

I'll play Encounter every day to avoid this crappy game mode. Sorry for the rant.

I've just spaded it, what a steaming pile of dogshit. For starters, I don't understand why Gaijin calls it a battlecruiser, it would be closer to an heavy cruiser in-game really.

• Firepower: I've found the 305mm to be pretty lackluster in practice. Having four of them is just not enough to do substantial damage. Most of my kills come from the 6'' guns on each broadside. They have a good HE and AP, the reload is quite long but not outrageous for a gun of this caliber. You have no AA, naturally.
• Survivability: The armor is okay I guess. Any good AP shell will pierce right through it. The magazines are bellow the waterline so there's that. The main issue is that the secondary guns get constantly destroyed and set on fire since they are very exposed. Destroyers will bully you without much trouble and make you helpless with your long reloads.
• Mobility: I know it's a pre-WW1 ship, but it's still fucking slow and not agile at all. It doesn't have enough armor to justify playing it instead of the cruisers at the same BR. Torpedoes will make short work of you, which are still incredibly common at this BR.

Conclusion: Don't bother.

They constantly ram you or cut right into your path just to piss you off. Just finished a game where I couldn't get out of the spawn for 5 minutes with my WW1 dreadnought because they kept blocking me or ramming my stern. The spawns are just too compact.

Does that happen to you often ?
