    I love the fleet concept but its limited to only 2 members. i would like to play 5 vs 5 fleet wars , since the fleet has "not over 800 infamy " rule i guess it would also make a better match making.
    what you all think?

    5v5 has been mentioned before but the main issue is that if 5 wallet warriors or top players fleet up, who will they be matched up with?

    they will not get matched , they should get message no matches are available , because of only top 10-100 players they are ignoring this feature what about rest of (5 millions -100) players.

    Because it will unbalance the matches. 5 communicating people will beat 5 random people. And 5 whales would easily beat everyone (or 5 mk7). Fleet of 3 could still be balanced, but not 4 or 5

    Why not separate matchmaking for five man fleets?

    As a separate quild war thing, this would be awesome. But with normal matchmaking, I don’t see a way that it would work.

    Nothing prevents other players from 5 man fleeting. If we are able to fleet 5 then more and more ppl will do it so ull see more ppl going against 5 man fleets with thier 5 man fleet. There is also a option to do like a guild war deal were u can match with other 5 man fleets ONLY.

    I agree, as a separate game mode it would work, but I personally don’t want to play against a fleet of (let’s say) bunta, master baitet, rng benjen, brizo and orpheus.

    Would be a tuff team to go against. I know it seems op atm cuz we are not use to it but if the game came to the 5 man fleets over time it would be a normal thing....ppl would have set teams they run with and are good with, ppl would use voice alot more, and ud see more and more teamwork. The chances of u going up against 1 bad asd team over amd over id think would be rare due to time differances(they may not all be online at the same time) and other teams at the same infamy

    Im not real sure what they would do now though cuz anything u add like that that is a whole new game mode may take the focus away from the guild quests....with things going in the directiin of guild quests i honestly dont think a seperat game mode would be good unless it alsi conttibuted to quests. (New quests win "x" matchs were no one dies, win a match with 3 man. 4 man, and 5 man fleet)

    What would the pros and cons be of 5 man fleets?
    IMO
    Pros- no more afk players on ur team
    Hand picked teams(of like infamy and weapons.)
    No more suicide players on ur team
    Promotes team communication (if they use a voice chat, or even tbrew guild chat they talk about what each player needs to do befor a match)
    Can build ur boat setups around ur "team" (perks and weapons that benifit the whole team)

    Cons- possible longer que times
    Not having 5 friends to fleet with and always going against 5 man fleets.....(wich should be ur issue not everyone elses)


    Feel free to add in more pros and cons as u please :)

    also you could play according to stratergy , means 2 fixer + 3 shooters or 2 fixers +2 shooter + 1 speeder.
    You can also decide combos as per your need if you know most of your team mates has fire bomb then you will use fire bomb perk. So it will be fun

    I think if this game wants to capitalize on the competetive gaming market, they're going to have to introduce 5v5 fleets at some point. It's the logical next step for the progression of the game and they can introduce tournaments, stream them on YT/Twitch to increase the viewership of the game and give out rewards to tourney winners (not OP in-game items, cash or free VIP and then increase if the popularity of the game increases).

    As for 5-man fleet curbstomping, the obvious fix for this is to fix the matchmaking system so 5-man fleets are matched up against other fleeted players, even if it's smaller fleets. I think if they allowed any size fleet up to 5-man, you'd see a lot more 2/3/4 man fleets forming up which would make the games with 5-man fleets more competitive. Games with 5-man vs. all randoms would be unavoidable but I think, similar to other e-sports, you'd see a lot of the top players playing more often with a small group rather than solo queueing.
