Gaijin, you need to reduce the ticket bleed for caps in naval

[SekritDocumentz]

Seriously. Matches, in higher BR’s are now less than 7 minutes because all you need is 1 small boat to cap 1 point, and then maybe they cap a second to win the match in 6 or 7 minutes.

People don’t enter matches in 8.7 Battleships to play 5 minute games because a 1920’s fishing boat just wandered into a couple of caps. Even if you do bring your 1.0 boat into a 8.3 match, if the other team has a boat and you die, then you’re back to the big ships with no counter to it.

The ticket bleed is insane and isn’t decided by kills or damage, it’s essentially decided why who can cap quickest. I also don’t understand what these players are trying to achieve by this, they get next to nothing for making these games short and the RP penalty means it’s not even worth it.

It’s illogical, and if they cap in the first 2 or 3 minutes, the ticket bleed is so fast that you reach a point of no return where the game simply cannot be salvaged.

This has been a problem for years and never gets addressed. Ticket bleed needs to be reduced by at least 50%, maybe as high as 75%.

I don’t understand why people always start new threads when a discussion already exists. And therefore can’t be bothered to read all the arguments that have been listed before.

Top Tier Naval needs to have coastal removed

Coastal fleet should be removed from top tier Naval. It is completely stupid and unfair that someone gets to spawn a PT boat all the one on the far side of the map, directly next to a cap point, and have the tickets bleed out before anyone even makes it to any of the other points. This hurts both teams, as it limits all the players ability to do anything effectively, epsecially at top tier where ships are slow and brawling it out. Someone spawning in a PT boat is an almost 100% guarantee win for…

They spade the boat.
What RP penalty are you talking about?

I 100% support everything written by OP.

Also check out some of my suggestions for possible alternatives, especially a change that would make it take longer for coastal botes to capture points in higher BR matches:

Coastal shouldn’t even be allowed past 5.0; most ships literally can’t get to cap points fast enough thanks to ticket bleed or other players.

Coastal literally gets the best spawns in the game and the sheer power they hold over high tier matches is nuts.

@Cloudzy26160

I didn’t have time to J-out and pull a blue water ship to do any damage, so I got zero activity and no points for the match… the ticket bleed is WAY too fast in higher tier naval.

I think coastal should be allowed to spawn in high BR matches. HOWEVER, they should NOT be “allowed” to end matches so soon by capturing a cap point or two.

I have been thinking about some possible changes to prevent this major issue:

• Dramatically increase the time it takes for small botes to capture a zone in high BR matches. It could be tied to how many crew members a bote or ship has. I would personally be fine with it taking MINUTES for a PT bote to capture a point. Even up to something dramatic like 5 minutes. It would also allow the opposing team some time to try and destroy the small bote. You want to spawn in your small bote in a high BR match to cap? Fine, it should take you WAY longer to cap. The rewards for capturing a point could stay the same or even go UP if the time to cap was increased like this for small botes.

• Same concept as above with the scout planes in high BR matches.

• Conversely, I would be OK with very large ships getting an DECREASE in cap time. Especially battleships. The only botes that I think are working OK with the current capture point time would be Destroyers.

• A change to cap point times should obviously only apply to matches above ~5.0. I do not feel that there is a significant need to alter the cap point times in low BR/Coastal matches.

I think I had some other ideas, but haven’t had enough coffee yet lol ☕ Will edit when/if I remember more.

Bottom line though, SOMETHING must change for coastal botes capturing cap points in high BR matches. I will not advocate for simply removing our ability to spawn a ship/bote of our choice. There are plenty of other ideas we could advocate for to prevent high BR matches from ending in 5 minutes, without having to take the drastic step of completely removing coastals from high BR matches.
