1-This is a 100% teamplay based game and having no scout hinders your ability to help your team. The CVs have to worry about preventing bombers from bombing you and getting the enemy scouts. And there is too many people to count that have said this. I have no problem with scoutless BBs WHEN THEY DON'T HARM MY XP GAIN. If they want to fail miserably in a non-shared xp room or a fleet war or in an HA, let them. But this is GB, with mostly shared xp.

Sorry, NO...you are wrong.
So what is next? If I carry a scout like you want and run him at default altitude, like most everyone does, did I just hinder my ability to help my team? If I run HH on my BB instead of AA and get sunk by a squadron of aircraft did I just hinder my ability to help my team? If I dismiss the 3 or 4 enemy scouts circling overhead, this happens almost every game, and the enemy bumrushes and collapses the BB line did I just hinder my ability to help my team? I could go on and on.
Of course you have no problem with "scoutless BBs" because it is much easier to post a thread and attempt to humiliate lower level players than it is to go after more expierenced BB's that should by now have ACE scouts that can see farther and are harder to shoot down. We don't want any of THOSE guys coming in here and poking holes in our flawed logic.
How about you post a thread detailing EVERYTHING we all need to do to avoid hindering our ablility to help our team. After all, it is YOUR happiness that we are ALL striving to maintain.
