Because ppl think bb are invincible with tough armor and stuff . m no one gives them escorts . So when they try and push the initiative , they get the spammed from dd , cruisers and bb . And fyi . You wouldn ' t be able to survive that . Im aggressive in my high tier bb . Perhaps too aggressive . But I communicate that I will push with support . And I do get some support from cruisers and dd . But the second a destroyer pops up , my cruiser escorts decides that the best way to support me is to run away to the ends of the map . The second a bb comes up , my destroyer allies gets target fixation and they will refuse to spot incoming torps , attack enemy dd . Or even do the barest of minimum of at least spotting the dd so I can try and kill a ship that can drive around my shells . So why should I push ? Every time I push , I die . And then my ally cruisers complain about not getting support when the enemy bb sinks them . I would tank for you . But I ' m already dead because of you . If you really want to have your ally bb push . Show that you will stick with him through thick and thin . If a bb gets spotted and you are spotted and you are sure enemy dd is in radar range , pop it and hunt it . If a bb is being focused , take down the most dangerous enemy cruisers . If you have a ship with smoke , use smoke to help your bb stay in cover as he turns and reposition . These are the basics , and yet I never get them except when I am in a division . So I rarely be the first one to push up unless I have my division buddies
