  • 50% exp penalty for BB's if you don't run a scout

Obviously the RU BB1 and UK Nelson should be coded as exceptions.

While its funny watching a player with no scout begging for sight, its sad and is leaching in my opinion.

I would also support BB's being required to run a scout.

In a perfect world of team play, yes, I agree. But by that theory, the CLs and CAs would be assisting with scouts too. You as well as I know that most of these guys won't launch scouts even if they have them loaded. So I see this XP penalty more as a way of punishing blatant offenders (BB4 and above) than little ships.

Little ships; DD/CL/CA. If you are in a BB, you should have a scout on. If they have it on, they will learn to launch it.

But I think it would be better to stop these BBs leaving the harbour altogether - like with the BB6. If you don't have appropriate crew (and guns... e.g. minimum size), you're stuck in harbour.

If you want to do it in a HA or fleet war, then people can feel free. But when its a shared exp mode, when you aren't earning your exp for yourself, its wrong.

Or give them scouts?

I agree, but used my rec on LJ's last post. And yeah, they should just add a scout to the ones who cant carry, we've already established that NF =/= RL, and nelson had a scout IRL anyway. BB 1-3 should be no exception, as micro-ing your scout takes practice, and it isnt like bb1-3 are toeing the line duking it out. They might be able to contribute a bit more than the nearly nothing they contribute now. Also, they should give a slight (10-20%) xp buff for CL/CA that choose to carry scouts and help the team. I usually carry one on my CA, since Im usually ASW or AA in it, and the extras crew of ANY type really doesnt provide a benefit equal to having a scout loaded and ready to pop into a suddenly dark area, til CV can get ftrs there (say between waves). The biggest issue is that shared xp without responsibilities actually encourages slacking. If tweaks were made to encourage team play and discourage selfish play, then selfish needs would begin to mirror team needs.
