  • 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.


Yes but will they actually do anything with it? It would be only too easy for them to carry it, launch it, and leave it alone just to avoid the exp hit. If they are really determined to avoid scouting they will and there is nothing you or me or anyone else can do about it. There will always be ways around any penalty you levy, and in any case, I don't like the idea of trying to coerce someone into playing a certain way with exp boosts/hits.

I disagree with this. Let people play however they want, otherwise soon or later you will force people to put ftrs on CV as well.

Sometimes having a scout is useless as you are camped by enemy ftrs and can't launch it. And sometimes, especially in BB3 and below, BB4 occasionally, I am trying to level crew, and if there's enough slots and empty weight, then I will put a scout on. I don't want to get penalized just because I am leveling crew!

Just because it is useless sometimes, doesn't mean its useless all the time. Levelling isn't an excuse. Your exp gain per hour is faster WITH a scout.

Rotate your crew. If you are in a shared exp mode, you SHOULD have to put on a scout otherwise you are LEACHING off your team. Its a TEAM game.

Furthermore, BB's are FORCED to have greater than 8" guns on. Why? Because its leaching otherwise.

Ships are forced to have ammo in to leave the harbour. Why? Because its leaching otherwise.

Anyone I see running without a scout on a BB that can run a scout is flat out leaching. Its not that they can't scout for themselves or their team, its that they are unwilling to.

Nah, i think it should be all or nothing. If you put 50% exp penalty people would not know it and just loose exp without knowing why.

Best option if you want to everyone has scout is not letting them to leave harbor without scout, like the minimum caliber gun set to 11s for BBs enter GBs.

And no scout BBs dont have to be necessary leechers, 25% are newbies and 75% are selfish people.

How about a warning when you leave the harbour?

Just don't let them enter GB GBII with a warning :"you can't enter this room without a plane" they will be forced to put a scout ok then its not said they will launch it in game but atleast they have a scout
i think this is a better way to make ppl aware they need scout.

and for the bbs like nelson should be made an exeption. or nf should give them scouts they need it anyway for L1 and L2
