    "Brawl?" With CVs? Seriously?

    CVs itselfs aint really the Problem. To begin with in a 5 vs 5 their Influence is actually somewhat Limited due to the Short Match duration. But the Matchmaking often giving a CV to one Team and not the others is Complete Bollocks. The Team with the CV just gains an Enormus Strategical Advantage because it has Early Spotting of the whole enemy Team and wont be Surprised by Enemy Positions. It also has the absolute Advantage in a Stalemate so it can take a Defensive Position and just wait for the Enemy Team to be Weakened by the CV. And in any Battle the CV can use Torps to Force Crossfire Situations... The other Team meanwhile is Forced to Push because it will be Bombed over time and cant Win a Standoff. Its DD is basicly Forced to Stay back and cant really Operate because it will be Spotted quickly thus the Team lacking Spotting and effectively having no way to Discover enemy Positions early and while they are Forced to Fight Bow in BBs which they cant do anything about, They cant sit anywhere for Bow in cause then the CV will just Bomb them to Oblivion easily... Only way to Win when your Team has no CV is to Basicly Push in Hard and Win the Battle right away before the CV makes it Impossible. But that most of the time doesnt work as its basicly a Big Yolo and if the Enemy just takes a Defensive Position it will Massacre your Team. So basicly unless the Enemy Team is Potatoes and basicly takes the Fight in the Middle with you. You have no real way to Win.
  2. Your Missouri helped quite a bit with that too. I Wish this would actually Work for me just Once tough. When I see we got a Small Map and Several Long Range T9 BBs. I tell them to Kill the CV when I spot it. But they always Ignore me and just Shoot at the Enemy BBs instead....

    New stage of submarine testing

    I just dont See this Work. Also it makes no Sense. Subs get 10 Minutes of Battery with no Way of Refill. And being Detected will Deplete it Faster. Moreover the Attacks are Weakened Artificially so you cant Kill Battleships Quickly upon reaching them. You also Mention that Subs Concealment now Changes based on how Deep they are. But what about Subs Vision ? Is that the Same ? Can Subs now still See Surface Ships while Submerged ? Because if Subs cant See Surface Ships beyond 2-4km when Submerged like before. Then this basicly means that almost Everything will Outspot Submarines. So Basicly. If a Sub wants to Kill a Bismarck it will basicly Spend over Half its Battery on that cause the Bismarck will just Hydro it and it has to Reload Several Times to actually Kill it despite Perfect Hits. Assuming the Sub still has that much Battery left when it Reaches the Bismarck. Because First it has to somehow get Through the DDs and Cruisers many of which have Hydro as well and which might Outspot it when Submerged because it cant really See anything Submerged. Needless to Say. That Subs thanks to being so Squishy have to Dive each time a CV gets Close. Because a Single HE Bomb Strike can easily Kill them thanks to them taking Damage from not just Direct Hits but also from Splash Damage... Basicly. Subs will be Yolo Fodder. Because they can only do something Early in the Game and are effectively useless as soon as their Battery Depletes anyways. So once that happenes they will just Suicide like old RTS CVs that got Deplaned. Which of course means that since they cant really Conserve Battery anyway without being Useless in the Rear and just Sitting there Waiting. They will have no Choice but to Rush Hard and try to get something Done while they still have the Battery to actually do something. As I said already. I just dont See this Work. I do Agree that Subs should not have Unlimited Battery. But they Should have Battery Replenishment when Surfaced and Battery should not be Affected by Stuff like Hydro or being Detected.

    What CV line to pick? Any good premium CVs?

    I dont like Manfred at all to be Honest. I tend to have Terrible Luck unfortunately. So 90% of the Time I will Pick Enemies which are actually Decent Players. Which for Manfred is a Horrible thing. Because Good thing about Manfred. Is that its the most Balanced CV because there is Actual Counterplay to it. Pretty much all Attacks from Manfred can be Negated or Severely Diminished by a Skilled Player. If all CVs were like that in terms of Mechanics. CVs would be far more Balanced. Because others would actually be able to Outplay them if they are Skilled enough. But thats Unfortunately also the Problem. Other CVs just dont Abide by this. Their Attacks just dont have real Counterplay. They cant be Negated or Severely Diminished in most cases. Long Story Short. Its not that Manfred is Bad. In the Game in General its an Awesome and very Powerful Ship. Its just that Compared to other T10 CVs its among the Weakest among them. And Yes. I am Painfully Aware that even most of the Above Average Players and even many Good Players are very Oblivious to Match Influence. Thats why I am saying that I am nowhere remotely Close to the Level of our Super Unicums we often See around. I still on a Regular Basis will Fail to Notice a Situation in Time or Fail to make the Right Call. Often only Realizing after the Fact that I just messed up. But thats exactly why its actually Triggering me a Bit when Potatoes with Hidden Stats try to Talk Big about this kind of thing. :P

    Update 0.10.4 – German Destroyers: Part 2

    Short Answer. This Week I have Lateshift. So I have to Time to Play between 6:00 and 10:30 UTC Ranked is not a Problem by the Way. My Shift Changes every Week. So 2 of 3 Weeks I can do Ranked Battles without any Issues. And Ranked lasts for more than a Week. So I usually can do it just Fine. Moreover Ranked can be Done at Leisure. There is no Individual Timelimit on the Missions. So I can just do a Match here and a Match there. Accumulating over Time. I can also just do things on the Weekend if during the Week too much other Stuff happens :) The Reason the Event is a Problem is because the Event working more on a Daily and even Hourly Basis. The Missions Start with a Delay to each other and each have an Individual Timelimit. They are only Available for 1 Week and have to be done at Once (well Partially since you get at least some Points for half Finished Missions) So not only can I not just Wait and do them in a Different Week or at a Weekend. But I cant even do them Inbetween because if I dont Finish the Mission it will be gone next time I Log In. ________________________________ Long Answer with Details. I am Triple Shift Worker. Pls note. I am not in UTC so the Times are a bit Strange. So Blocked Times for me are: Early Shift is 3 to 13:30 Late Shift is 11 to 21:30 Night Shift is 19 to 5:30 So on Early Shift I can Play between 14:00 and 18:30 (Which is not a Problem Generally.) On Late Shift I can Play between 6:00 and 10:30 (Which is the most Difficult one.) And on Night Shift I can Play between 14:00 and 18:30 (I tend to Sleep in the Morning. So this one is also Fine.) Now. Today for example. The Missions Started at 7:30 UTC and End on 1:30 UTC. Now I am ony CEST. Which means on 1:30 UTC is 3:30 for me at which point I.ll be long Sleeping under the Week as I dont tend to Stay up till 3 in the Morning when Working :P Which basicly means. That I need to do the Missions between 7:30 and 10:30 UTC. And here the Event Unfortunately is Badly Setup for me. Because the Missions Open up Sequentially with 2 Hour Time Limits. Which basicly means that assuming I do each Mission on Half the Allotted time. I would still only get Max 3-4 Missions Done. Albeit the Reality of Course is that I also need to get other Stuff done in that Time. As I also need to Eat Launch and get Daily Chores done :P

    Thats the thing Mate. You are Not a Unicum. So pls dont make Claims of your Opinion being Proven by your Experience and Performance. If you make such Claims you need to actually have the Stats to Show for it. Otherwise your just Producing Hot Air. I also Love how you keep trying to Imply that your a Better CV Player than me and thus feel like you can just declare me Wrong without providing any Evidence :) I mean. Dont get me wrong there Mate. But do you really think anyone will take you Seriously on that ? The Joke is. In your hasty attempt to somehow twist things you are also making more Mistakes. German CVs are much Harder to Play for Average Players than other CV Lines. Especially when you want to have Influence. Because for a German CV to have any Influence at all. You need to not just Target the Relevant Targets but you need to Target them with Correct Timing from the Correct Vector while also having an Eye on your owns Team Positioning. Which means that you actually need to have a Decent Understanding of the Games Mechanics and Tactical Situation. Thats not something the Average Player has. And Mate. The Stats that you Claim to be Yours. Actually dont Show that in your Case either. Your not a Bad Player. But its Obvious that most of your Influence Comes Purely from you Farming Damage on Easy Targets. Your nearly the same as a British Battleship Sniping enemy BBs from the Rear with HE. Only reason your Slightly better is because others cant go Dark from you. Thus you being able to Seal the Deal sometimes. Long Story Short. Your clearly not a Unicum and Should not make Claims on what Unicums can do or how. But your also Clearly not an Average Player. Yet you Expect the Average Player to not only Dodge Flak because German CVs are really Unforgiving when Flying into that. You Expect the Average Player to use Weapons which are Extremely Situational and do next to nothing when used Wrong because German CVs unlike other Nations wont really do anything unless you hit Correctly. And on Top you are Claiming that the Average Player will have Influence which would Require Situational Awareness and Tactical as well as Mechanical understanding of the Game... Sorry Man. But For an Average Player. German CVs are pretty much the Worst. Just Stop it Man. Your just digging yourself deeper and deeper into a hole there....

    What CV line to pick? Any good premium CVs?

    Ah Yeah. So you just wanted to make a Point that the Average CV Player has alot of Influence in German CVs compared to IJN CVs Yes ? Except thats not what you Claimed earlier is it ? What you Claimed was this :) No mention the Average Player Performance ?????? So now your Suddenly Talking about the Performance of the Average Player ????? Somehow thats not really Fitting your Earlier Statements Mate. You Greeted me like this. Then after I responded. You Doublded down on your Greeting with this.... No Mention of the Average Player. In Fact. According to You. This Guy here. https://wows-numbers.com/player/500033399,Sunleader/ Which is Me. Is Apparently not Good enough to Unlock the Potential of German CVs to the Level where you Claim them to start having Match Influence :) And Sorry Mate. But while I might not be one of the Super Unicums on CVs around here. I am certainly not worse than your Average Player ;) So Yeah Mate. Your getting more and more Trustworthy there :) Then again. It seems you already Found a Great Friend there fully on your wavelength with Beastofwar. I am sure You will get along Great ;)

    Update 0.10.4 – German Destroyers: Part 2

    The Unfortunate Part of the Battle of the Beasts is that its really not Possible for me to Fully Participate. Since its another Event only Available during certain Times of the Day. I have now Hit my Lateshift Week. Where basicly the Event Starts short before I am heading off to Work. And then Stops shorty after I come home from Work. Thus just not being Available for me this Week. Meaning it will be rather Difficult for me to Participate this Week :( This has happened in the Past already. I Really wish you guys would take some more Consideration towards those of us which have different Working Shedules and thus have their Free Time in different Times of the Day than the Prime Time. Its bad enough we have longer Matchmaking Times. We really dont need you guys Clobbering us on top of that with Denying us Access to Events :(

    Any reason not to buy Ise?

    You should not Buy things just because there is no Reason not to Buy them ^^ You should Buy things when there is a Reason to Buy them ^^ Now for Ise. I do actually think there is nothing wrong with Buying it. Its a Decent Ship with an Interesting Gimmick. My Worries regarding Ise are more Oriented in the General Problems of Simplified Classes. We already have Tremendous Problems with Balancing thanks to so many different Classes just being Lumped together. And Ise is yet another Special Case which Shifts Balancing due to being Matched to Standard BBs. But thats not really something that should prevent you from Buying it.
  11. Sunleader

    Its the Stats he himself Posted to me to Support his lofty Claims of being able to Judge Unicum level CV Performance. So nope. No Stat Shaming involved. I never tought that the day would come someone would tell me to not take myself as the "measure" of what will work or not. I am nowhere near that Super Unicum Level where I would dare Considering my Performance Unattainable for other Players :P But to begin with. This was never the Argument Mate. Nobody Questions that Manfred can Perform Decently in Randoms. I am in Fact Performing Decently in it is as well in the few Games I played since I dont like it. And Manfred can be Extremely Powerful if you Play in a Triple Division where you can Guarantee that others use the Chances you Create or when others can Force a Target to Bow in thus giving you Perfect Targets etc. But the Argument was Specifically about Match Influence. Match Influence. And no matter if your a Good Player or a Unicum or even a Potato. Manfred is and remains one of the Weakest T10 CVs in terms of Match Influence.
  12. Sunleader

    What CV line to pick? Any good premium CVs?

    TLDR. You made Claims that nobody can Confirm, If pressed for Evidence you make more Claims that nobody can Confirm and hide behind a Dubious Promise to yourself which nobody can Confirm either. And then you throw a preemptive excuse of only playing for Fun thus your Stats not really telling anything anyways. To top it off you make a Double Post about a Mysterious NA Account which however your not Revealing either. Yeeeaaaah. Very Convincing Mate. Not to mention.... Only 58% Winrate ? But a PR of nearly 3k ? And with that you Claim to have Unicum Level Experience, Performance and Knowledge of CV Gameplay ? Frankly Said. This Sounds like you dont even Know what Match Influence even Means. That Sounds like your basicly just trying to Farm as much Damage as Possible hoping that your Team somehow Wins....
  13. Sunleader

    What CV line to pick? Any good premium CVs?

    Not to Offend ya Mate. But making Claims on Unicum CV Performance and Strategy Levels while having a Hidden Profile. Is not exactly Convincing. Mind setting your Profile to Public so I can Check on your Solo Stats on German CVs so I can See how much Influence you actually have ? Because Frankly said. With Hidden Stats. You can Claim to be the Emperor of Ancient China and it would be just as Convincing ;)
  14. Sunleader

    What CV line to pick? Any good premium CVs?

    Sure. Not like I am the one who devised the Anti Cruiser Strategy to make Graf Zeppelin work in the Past and spread it as an alternative to the DD Hunting Strategy..... Thing is Mate. Making something Work. And actually being Competetive against other Ships is two different things. Manfred is a CV which is Reliant on either having a Good Team that will use Chances you Provide by Forcing People to Angle. Or having an Enemy Team so Bad that they wont Angle in the First Place. If those two aint Given. Manfred is basicly a T6 CV in Tier 10. Meanwhile. Other T10 CVs (Except Auda) can do anything that Manfred does Better and more Reliable. But Hey. As I said. If you wanna Believe that. Believe it ;) The Majority of CV Players unfortunately has very little Idea how CV Influence actually Works. All the better for me Playing actually useful CVs that Win Battles. Having a Manfred on the Enemy Team makes Winning alot Easier after all ;) Pls dont... The Torps are your most Effective Anti Cruiser Weapon and unlike the Rockets can be Negated easily.... Recommending others to waste that Weapon on DDs is giving me Headaches....

    What CV line to pick? Any good premium CVs?

    Same as Midway being Buffed and Audacious being Nerfed back in the Day. Wargaming only cares for Damage Output of the Average Potato. They dont care about Influence of Good Players. Yeah. Keep believing that then Mate. If your that far gone I wont try to get you back.
  16. Sunleader

    What CV line to pick? Any good premium CVs?

    Let me Guess. You Play British BBs by Sniping Enemy BBs with HE from the Rearline dont you.....
  17. Sunleader

    What CV line to pick? Any good premium CVs?

    1. As I said mate. RNG Galore. Sometimes you Hit and its Awesome Damage. Because its 8k right away. Which is alot on T6. But mostly you hit only 1 and sometimes even none. Meaning your Average Damage is more around 4k and with a Risk to not Hit at all. Compare that to US and UK which can use Bombs AND Rockets against DDs. They got Similar Average Damage are just Slightly slower in the Attack Runs but in Exchange are Reliable. Thats the thing. Its nice that you can Nuke DDs with Loewenhardt HE Bombs. But Frankly the only CV which cant do that. is the German Silver T6 Weser. All others can do it just as well or Better. But most Importandly. They can do it Reliably. Your AP Rockets might be T8. But you dont get the Full Load. You get 2x4 while T8 gets 3x4. And it doesnt change that most Cruisers can Angle easily. And Dodging Flak can be done with any CV easily. So its not really relevant. 2. The Reason why USN CVs dont Suffer from this is 3 Factors. A. US CVs are Tailored to Hunt DDs. They can Kill DDs Faster than any other CV Line. And to DDs the Damage usually Sticks. And this is Importand. Because without DDs. An Enemy Team is extremely bad at going Forward. Meaning thanks to this you have Time to Wear the Enemy Down. B. US CVs actually got a Trick up their Sleeve. From T4 to T8 they are alot like UK CVs in terms of not having Hard Damage. But up to T8 it barely matters because Cruisers and DDs usually dont have Heals anyways. Meaning that only on T8 it becomes a Problem because if you get Uptiered to T9 or higher suddenly everyone has a Heal and you get more Supercruisers. But. Lexington in exchange gets the Stronger HE Divebombs which Enhances its Capacity to Kill DDs even Faster and on T10 when basicly everyone got a Heal. The US Line suddenly gets the Insane Torpedo Alpha into the Mix. Giving it Decent Hard Damage Capacity against BBs and Supercruisers. C. And Finally there is the Simple matter that US CVs have way more Staying Power. Meaning that unlike UK CVs they can allow themselves more Risks and Losses. Thus not only as mentioned in Point A. Being less inclinced to take losses early as they Hunt DDs. But also being able to hold out longer when the Enemy Blobs up for AA Cover. Thanks to that. US CVs are much better for Winning Games. And not really worse at Farming Damage. 3. Yep. Damage Output is Lower. Frankly. On this you can just Compare Numbers. But thats the thing. Numbers dont tell you everything. German CVs actually look Great on Paper. But their Bad RNG and extreme Situational Dependence causes them to rarely Realize that Damage. In Theory. If you got an Enemy Team thats Completely Potato. Constantly giving you open Broadside or Nosing in on Bombers without Blobbing etc etc. German CVs will Wreck the Place. Because they will Citadel the Crab out of anything. But Reality unfortunately is that you often got Blobs and by now most People will Angle at least somewhat. Generally denying you the Hard Damage and reducing your General Damage as well. And Yes. You can Hunt DDs by Spotting. But again Mate. You need to Compare to other CVs. Its nice you got that Fundamental Ability to Spot DDs. And that is Great. In Fact its one reason why Ise the new Hybrid BB Released now is such an Headache. But ANY CV can do that. And other CVs can On Top of that do Damage to that DD and thus Kill it Faster. The Torps Yeah... If you got a Potato DD that might work now and then. So do Japanese Torps by the way. But against any Decent DD you wont get anything there. And Yes. German AP Bombs got the Highest Alpha. But Frankly. Hakus are Better. Because you usually get 2-3 Cits. Thus 13-19k Damage. While on German CVs you usually get 1-2 for 8-18k Damage. And Haku has the Advantage of actually being able to Maintain such Attacks for a while. And What ??? German CVs are the most Sqishy CVs among the CVs in T10. Because they got a far weaker Armored Deck. They get an Icebreaker. Thats about all. And that is Negated instantly because their Concealment is so Horrible that anyone sees you from Miles away. Thus Firing at you on Range where it hits your Deck not your Nose. And their Secondaries ??? The only German CV with Decent Secondaries is Graf Zeppelin. Because it gets the Accuracy Buff for them. Making them currently the most Accurate and Strong Secondaries in the Game. The German Silver CVs dont get that. Their Secondaries are barely a Last Ditch Defence. Again Mate. Even the Absolutely WORST CV is still very Strong if Played Right. I mean. I still got very Decent Results by Playing Implacable. (T8 British CV) which is Complete Dogcrab. But which is still good enough to Hunt DDs. But the Question is not if a Unicum can Manage to Play that Ship. A Unicum will Manage with pretty much any Ship. The Question is. If an Equally Skilled Player would Perform better or worse with another Ship of that Class. And the Answer to that. Is that the German and British CV Lines are the Worst. Sure. You can Master a German CV and make it work quite good. But now put that exact same level Mastery on a US CV. And the Result you get is just Outright Better. Sure you can Spot DDs to kill them. But other CVs can Spot AND Attack the DDs. Thus killing them Faster and more Reliable. Sure you can Kill Potatoes that Broadside you. But other CVs can Kill those Potatoes nearly as Quickyl and unlike you. They can also Kill the Cruisers that are not Potato. Sure you can Dish out Hard Damage on BBs that cant be Healed. But other CVs can either do that too. Or they can just Dish out so much more damage that the Healing stops mattering. (well except UK because UK is just as bad due to relying on Fire Damage which can be healed Fully) Are you Seriously Telling me. That a Unicum Playing Manfred would have the same Influence as a Unicum playing Midway or Hakuryu ?
  18. Sunleader

    What CV line to pick? Any good premium CVs?

    1. Sure Mate. Pls Tell me how to Play CV.... I am after all just your usual Potato CV Player with a Winrate of 40%.... Sarcasm aside. British CVs Suck because they got no Hard Damage and no Staying Power. They give very high Damage Numbers. But All of that Damage is Soft Damage and can be Repaired. And they are not very Efficient at Hunting DDs. And their Plane Reserves are very low. Any Loss Hurts Limiting your Choices of Attacks. Resulting in your Influence being very Limited throughout the Battle or if you want/need to expend it early. Being nonexistant in later Stages of the Battle. On T6 with Furious. This isnt a Big Problem. Most Cruisers you meet dont have Heals. And the DDs generally have fairly low Torpedo Ranges and bad Concealment forcing them to Operate far outside AA Range. Moreover most BBs got alot of Soft Armor to cause Direct Damage as well as barely anyone having Decent AA unless your Uptiered to T8. But on T8 and T10 Cruisers and BBs mostly laugh off your Damage cause its either HE or Fire Damage and thus can be Repaired for most Part. DDs either have AA making it costly for you to Attack them or have such Good Conceament and/or Torp Range that they can Operate close to their Teammates Frontlines to fall back to. And as you got very few Planes. You often cant just Throw Planes into Blobs because they cant Replace the Losses. German CVs are the same with one Exception. They got almost Exclusively Hard Attack. But their Damage Output is much lower. But they also got no Staying Power and are Horrible at Hunting DDs. At T10 where Hard Power actually becomes Valuable. This can be used to some Extend. Because you can Deny Cruisers and BBs the Healing of their Damage. Thus being able to Influence the Battle a little by Killing Cruisers. But in Total your Influence is still complete Rubbish Compared to Ships like Midway or Haku because you cant do anything about DDs that have half a Brain. And your Planes are so Flimsy that a few mistakes basicly Remove you from the Battle for several Minutes. You tell me that these CVs require you to Breath and Think at the same time. But Frankly. They are the exact Opposite. British and German CV Lines are Potato Traps. They Lure in Potato Players by Providing them with easily Archievable Huge Damage Numbers against useless and irrelevant Targets. Thus making them Feel like they did Good. But they got little to no Influence on the Outcome of the Battle. 2. Nope. Ark Royal is exactly the same as the Described above. A Potato Trap which gives you very high Damage Numbers but almost no Influence in Battle. Its basicly like Potatos Playing British BBs. They Sit in the Rear and Snipe Enemy BBs racking up high Damage Numbers but not doing anything relevant to Win the Game. As for Loewenhardt. I wish that CV was Strong. But its not. That CV is Basicly a Roulette Table. You got Strong AP Rockets. But they only do something if you find the enemey Potatos which will give you Flat Broadside to Citadel them. They are useless against DDs and BBs entirely and if the Enemy Cruiser has any remnant of a Brain and Angles a bit. They wont do much against them either. You got the Weakest Torps of T6 which instead of being at least Fast like German Silver Torps are even Slower than other CV Torps.... Meaning not only are they Harder to Hit with but they are also Weak if they Hit.... And then you got the One Selling Aspect. The 1 Ton HE Bombs. Which are basicly T8-10 HE Bombs in terms of Damage and Penetration. Just that like Graf Zeppelin AP Bombs. They have an Ungodly RNG which makes any Drop of them a Roulette Round because they can Manage to even Miss a Battleship despite Full Accurazy on the Drop.... Round it up with Flimsy Planes and you got the Loewenhardt. The CV that Looks Awesome on Paper. And can have Really Nice Moments. But then just as well can be Complete Rubbish because RNGesus Said Nope and just decided to make you miss that DD with 3 Drops in a Row doing 0 Damage to him while he Shot down 3 of your Flimsy and Limited Planes. Oh and to Add Insult to Injury. Your Secondary Battery is Short Ranged and has no Accuracy Buffs unlike Graf Zeppelin. Thus being almost useless unless some DD gets to like 2km distance where even that Battery will Hit. 3. See Mate. Thats the thing. Balance is about Comparisson. Any T8 CV will be Measured on Enterprise. Any T10 will be Measured on Midway and Haku. Any T6 will be Measured on Ryujo. Its not like Manfred or Ark Royal are Bad by Default. Compared to almost any other Ship in their Respective Tiers. They are really Strong. But they have to Compete with the other CVs. Which just Outclass them to a Ridiculous Degree.

    What CV line to pick? Any good premium CVs?

    Disclaimer. CVs are the most Overpowered and most Influental Class in the Game. This however also means. That if you Suck at Playing them. You will Lose FAAAAR more Often. Because you make out about 40-50% of your Teams Total Influence. Meaning if you Suck its almost Impossible for your Team to Compensate You and thus unless the Enemy CV Sucks too they have barely any Chance to Win this despite you messing up. Hence if you cant actually Play CVs you will lose ALOT more often than with other Classes were generally even if you mess up. Others can still compensate for you and Win. So everything I Say below only Applies if you become a Decent CV Player that can actually Play CVs. Now for the actual thing. Frankly. If your Bored. CVs are the Worst Class to Pick. But thats a different Story. The Best CVs to Win Battles are the US CV Line. As they can effectively Hunt DDs. Taking them out Early and thus Greatly Increasing Chances to Win Matches. A more Versatile CV Line is Generally the Japanese ones. As they come with AP Bombs and Strong Torpedoes which are good at Dealing Damage that Sticks. However. Especially with the Rocket Nerfs. They tend to have less Influence on Winning the Match as they cant Kill DDs that Effectively. British and German Lines are Horrible and can be Ignored unless you want to Torture yourself... Good Premium CVs are a Relative thing. Premium CVs tend to be very Specialized on something. Ignore Graf Zeppelin. Its the absolutely worst T8 CV and Completely useless right now after WG Nerfed it into Oblivion. Idnomitable is Meh as well. Albeit nowhere nearly as Bad as GZ... So on T8 you either get yourself a Kaga. Which is a very Strong CV if you can Play CVs. Because not only does it have the Firepower to really Kill stuff. But its also got the Reserves to just keep Coming even in Tier 10 Or you get yourself a Saipan. Which is the Polar Opposite. Its quickly bleeding Planes if your not a good CV Player. But in exchange its Offensive Power is even Stronger than Kagas in almost any aspect but especially against DDs. I dont Recommend getting the Loewenhardt because its not really Influental. Its Powerful in a Fight. But in terms of Winning Matches its not really Good. Neither is Ark Royal. So on T6 Premium CVs are Meh. Best T6 CV would likely be Ryuojo from the Japanese. Albeit this is the one Place where the UK with Furious do have a Decent CV. Long Story Short. If you want to Win Matches by Influence get the US CV Line and the Saipan. If you want to Rack up Damage Numbers and Kills go for the Japanese line and Kaga instead.

    Matchmaker Discussion Thread & MM Balance

    Frankly. I still think that Statistics should not be Available for Random at all. Thus Statistics being Purely a thing for Ranked. Or maybe a New Type of Ranked which is basicly a Mode where Stats actually give you Rank among all Players etc. But that aside. Would it not be Possible for WG to Simply Ban the MM Monitor Mod from being used ? If WG States that using MM Monitors is Cheating and thus Prohibits as a Third Party Program being Run while Playing. The use would Clearly be reduced alot. Of course People could still use it against the Rules at the Risk of being Banned if its Found out. But it would be Officially considered Cheating. And thus there would be a very High Risk Involved in using it. Which likely wont be Worth it for most People. And since MM Monitors that are Showing Data explicitly for a Match your in. Do in Fact Draw Data from the Game directly. There is Ways to Detect People using it.

    Hidden Stats. Anecdotal Screenshot. You know the Drill Mate. If your Profile is Private you can Claim whatever you want about your Performance. And show us as many Screenshots as you would like. But Nobody will take it Seriously because we have no way to Confirm the whole Performance. Only getting that one little Peek that you want us to have.

    Dont bother. Beast is a bit of a Legend in this Forum by now. CVs could Drop Nukes that Onehit the whole Enemy Team at once. And he would still claim CVs are Balanced and Show Video of Musashis Nuking an Enemy CV at Start of the Battle....

    How would you repair WoWS?

    1. Standard Battles. 12 vs 12 15 vs 15 20 vs 20 2. Assault Mode. Target of the Match is to Silence Coastal Batteries and Defences and Land Forces for an Assault. To that End. Every Ship gets a Number of Landing Boats to Drop at the Beach. The Attacker gets a Larger Team while the Degender gets Coastal Batteries and Air Support. 3. New Map. River Delta. A Map made up of Large Rivers that are Connected. Creating a Labyrinth to Fight in.
