Yeah look at what type of ship was left to take the win. Also, in your example the JB whould not be able to sink the CV either, so much for the situation being reversed.

just look at this sir

I have one too. And deleted and countered plenty, so that makes just your adversary speshul mate. See I can be anecdotal too

It's fine, most players just simply don't know how to kill it and start running away, or stop and try to reverse only giving it more time to dakka, especially BBabies.

Yeah i was thinking the same thing yesterday. Guess Wg has been pushing tier 9 and 10 way hard :P

The CV hate thread is closed for some reason so I'll just leave this here :-) Mr. Conway just mentioned in the Live stream that he can understand the train of thought against a class 'that you can't really interact with'. I like Mr. Conway ^^

Quick, everyone defend the carrier!

It's not that hard, his first strike slinged his remaining squad outside of or at the long range of the AA bubble, and my AA was probably already damaged enough to be useless as I was under HE fire from multiple ships, because he could keep me spotted just long enough with fighters he spawned over my position, another one of WG's design 'gems'. After that radar did the rest and I died to gunfire. The point though, someone here said AA was on the strong side, and boi oh boi it really isn't. I refer you to my earlier statement in this thread as of why CV's are hated by most.

He turned around and hit me a second time.

ROFL, a tier 8 carrier flying it's weakest planes into a tier 9 BB, a tier 8 BB, a tier 10 cruiser and a tier 9 DD and it is supposed to get off two full rocket strikes? I don't mind carriers much these days, not because they add tons of fun to the game but because most carrier players are utter rubbish, but this my friend, is just a excuse for WG's crap design and execution.

Srsly? I just got hit twice by a Lexington rocket squad while in a Kitakaze within 3 km of a Smolensk, 5 km within a Richelieu and an Alsace BB and the planes just turned around to hit me for a second time. Yup AA definitely on the strong side.

Very simple: most CV captains are actually fairly crap but they get to make mistake after mistake and somehow still get to play up to the end of the round. The speed of planes makes being spotted by them unpredictable so reliable stealth gameplay can be disrupted by just a fluke and random chance. For some bizarre reason CV's are exempt from being punished for their mistakes. They take very litttle skill to operate, are boring to play and are disruptive with even the biggest nub on it's helm. They have magic repairs, magic fighters magic armor, magic fire resistance, all to make sure even the biggest idiot can stay afloat. Why keeping idiots afloat seems to be important to WG is beyond me. The CV rework has been the biggest failure gameplay wise, lower tiers are unplayable due to 4 and 6 carrier games and WG is silent on the problems that arose.

Map design is about flow. If a map stalls its a design failure.

Well this was exceptional for me to be fair, but it's the most fun ship so far in my IJN reset. Mogami a great second as far as fun ships go in that nation.

I probably deserve it mate. ^^

Unless one carries 11 glue sniffers

I also got it as a reward, and equipped prop mod 2 in it, not build in.

Explaining my teammates in chat how exactly they are playing for the millionth time, pwning enemies, playing carriers etc. I've been chatbanned so often by now my regular chat ban is 2 weeks ^^

I've been playing my Kitakaze last few days, and I can genuinly attest to not only DD's being at fault, but the general playerbase being wet socks on a stick whatever boat they float in. Or I wouldn't be able to do this:

ROFL, a two week ban again ^^

I'm facepalming half the matches I play and it is affecting performance as I can't see with my hands on my face.

Yup pretty much bad map.

Pretty happy with a Huanghe

While grinding my IJN reset, I find the cruiser line and the IJN dd gunboat line the most fun. Kitakaze is just a blast. My latest match carry in it.
