So whats your opinion fishnships?

This whole thread is a joke. Big deal, its a kitna launching torps on hobbit map. If you don't like it:

1) Sink the dam thing instead of letting it drive the length of the map, empty all tubes, then turn around and do the same thing again on the other side. Also, don't let it get so close to your lines that you get pushed all the way back to the back of the map.

2) Don't be a tool and load your ship so heavy with armor and base level 10 crap sailors with 90% rookies on board that you can't move. WATCH the enemy ships. If you see the torps go into the water, turn away. Its really not that hard unless you are a rushing noob, with a crap BO that won't show the torps, and suddenly the torp wall is on you

3) Host your own room on a different map.

There, three perfectly good options. I rarely have problems with a kitna.

kita = japanese light cruiser (lvl 50-ish) .. capable of carrying a SONARMAN for asw spotting role (often in OH tho)
R slots = 4x(33spc) on bow *2x wing guns in awkawd c.onfig = results in 2x(33spc) bow guns utiliy (if used at all)
T slots = 10x(5x per side) .. typically utilizes the ijn 5x torpedoe launchers .. can be set in AA or PHH configurations


kita in GB :
- avg lifespan is like 2-3 secs after being spotted ... EVERYONE aims at the kita first (or a sub is around - maybe)
- a kita is lucky to even get all his fish in the water before being blasted into oblivion as the first casuality of game
- even if he gets all his fish off .. and has laid a good pattern spread ... torp EXP is nerfed to death due to the BB whineys about subs yadda yadda whine whine ... plus because of subs - all the ships are loaded to the gills with bulge anyway (thank ye lords of the sea for thy bounty of the long lance 93 torpedo) ...

bottom line .. a kita doesn't "play" GB .. he's universal grade A choice 'prey' in GB's ... gone with the wind on sight



kita in BLITZ :
- everyone learns to hate them on sight too (hence this discussion thread at all) .. most learn to torp dance - fast
- with slow reload blitz level torps - a kita is lucky to get all his fish in the water before being blasted into oblivion
- even if he gets all his fish off .. and has laid a good pattern spread ... torp EXP is nerfed to death due to the BB whineys about subs yadda yadda whine whine ... plus because of subs - all the ships are loaded to the gills with bulge anyway (thank ye lords of the sea for thy bounty of the long lance 93 torpedo) ...

bottom line .. a kita can 'briefly' play blitz ... or if he's good at laying patterns .. maybe even survive it.. he's still universal grade A choice 'prey' even in BLITZ's ... gone with the wind on sight with the CV's actively bombing for him too


now .. your post ... kita ON HOBBLED HOBBITT BLITZ BABY PLAYPEN MAP .. aka: hobbit farming map rooms .. ?

! ...1.... this is a VERY old topic that predates the hobbit map .. kita in blitz = OP .. espcly if 3-4 per side teamed up
ruling .. its still a CL .. and legal ... up to lvl 61 ..
just like every other CL in game including the oyodo and APAs, ECLs, and PCLs,oe even the PCAs, etc..

WHERE DO YOU DRAW THE LINE ? WHAT ABOUT THE SUFFERN ? OR THE sn LENNINGRAD (BEST tw dd IN GAME = KITA BUT faster WITH useable GUNS) .. WHAT ABOUT THE BROOKLYN OR CLVLND OR WHATEVER THAT USN TW IS ? ...YOU HAVE NO VALID EXCUSE FOR WANTING TO EXCLUDE A KITA EXCEPT FOR TEH FACT THAT IF YOU CAN'T TORP DANCE YOU GET BLOWN UP ... WHAT ABLUT THE bb'S LIKE THE COURBET OR THE UK BB1 OR OTHER BIG GUN DOMINATORS OF A HOBBITT PLAYPENS CRAMPED QUARTERS .. WHAT ABOUT THE CVS WHO SIT IN ACORNER AND BOMB THE PENT UP TARGETS AS THEY STRAGGLE IN ? .. THEIR PLANES ALWAYS HAVE GAS RANGE IN HOBBIT .. BAN THEM TOO ? ....

ITS A HOSTING ISSUE .. IF A HOST IS AFK OR WONT go WHEN YOU ALL DEMAND .. YOU ARE QUICK TO "new room - all out" AND FLOOD AWAY AND GET GOING IN A BETTER HOSTED ROOM ... THE MAP CHOIICE IS A HOSTING THING ... IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE PENNED UP WITH SOME OF TEH MEANER LITTLE FISH .. DON'T JOIN HOBBIT HOSTED ROOMS ... STRETCH YOUR SEA LEGS AND LEARN TO ACTUALLY SAIL THE ADULT SIZED REAL MAPS THAT GB'S USE .. MANY FRESH FISH IN GBS ARE CLUELESS ON THEMAPS BECAUSE THEY NEVER SAW THEM IN ALL THEIR HOBBLED HOBBIT PLAYPEN CAREERS ... wonder why they tend to leave the game ... DERP

...2... kaiser server - or at least the nelson server part of it should be grateful for kitas in hobbit maps .. because .. its why i started playing over there myself .. my kita on yomo were all blitzed out ... hobbit map was introduced ... i wanted to see what all th efuss was about with a kita in hobbitt maps .. so i logged on to nelson on my acct and started that server with fresh crew .. played both servers .. but worked up to a kita on nelson in the hobbitt maps ... thats sima-kuma-kita line ... EXP is still nerfed to death = kitas time at blitz level is prolonged .. also no subs in blitz = no real bulge in blitz either . .heh ... and with a long lance set up - not many blitz ships can carry that much bulge to matter anyway ... so as a kita kaptain i LOVE hobbit hosts .. its not about leveling .. its about kill stats ... shooting fish in a barrel or blitzbabies in a hobbled hobbit playpen ... its all good ... kitas hate island maps .... big maps are a pain as the blitz babies aren't clustered and they can stay out of torp range if they wish .. plus .. kita can't carry scouts ... (and i aboslutely refuse to take a kita into the ice fence map rooms) ... but .. if a host starts a hobbitt room .. and its getting business .. i'll jump in and romp til i get sunk ... tho lately i much prefer my lenningrad a s superior TW fun ship in blitz ... sn torps have less range but are much quicker than a kita torp can manage ... and when i really want to romp i take out my almost 60+ lvl courbet crew (i save them for fun breaks as long as they are still blitz capable) ... th ekita is only as good as its kaptain - and only suvives as long as he can fend off the attention of teh enemy masses .. learn to torp dance and a kita is much less dangerous than if you run like a scared sheep right into the next salvo or until they all short stop and prox kill you anyway ..

SO - ITS HOST ISSUE .. DON'T LIKE HOBBIT = DON'T PLAY HOBBIT HOSTED ROOMS .. CL KITA *IS* ALLOWED
