Blitz doesnt teach you anything? What drugs are yall on? It teaches plenty.
Wellll... at least now that Hobbit War is not the default map for blitz anymore at least. That map was ridiculous.
I learnt a lot of the game playing Blitz.
Blitz is fine training for new players to the game, provided that they come into it with the right mindset.
Part of the problem are the people who will rush, sink and leave without watching the battle any further. Most of the time after I was sunk I would watch the battle unfold. I watched the higher level players. Saw what they did. Learned from them.
Same thing now I am playing in GB.
NavyFIELD is a game. Games are about having fun. Being one shot block shotted is NOT fun. Blitz at least gives new players a decent chance at accomlishing something. GB is a bit too much for new people.
Sure there are roles for smaller ships in GBs but really.... people like to see an attack score. New players are not going to have the crews to get a decent score in their little ships, even if they run with anti-sub weaponry and similar things.
