Are those T4 planes?

And rightly so, because 90% of those suggestions come from incompetent potatoes that have no clue whats good or bad for the game.

I will hold you to that

@BLUB__BLUB Before you decide to respond with another wall of text, take a moment to think to yourself. You have 5k+ games under your belt, at this point a player mindset is usually set in stone and its easy to interpret how he plays. Your CV stats, at this matter, are pretty bad and if it didn't trigger you a red light by now, then it should, because at this point your mindset is probably messed up and your skill and decision making probably suffer the same problems, you simply are not aware of this. Judging by reading all your comments in the forums here and there, one can judge that you have poor knowledge or flawed understanding on some game mechanics, especially regarding CVs. Clearly, it seems your willing to learn, but at the same time you're also stuck in the same place because you refuse to change your mind set. The will to learn and adapt is a rare, and powerful trait that many people lack. You got lucky that you stumbled across someone like Sunleader in those forums, which is a rare thing by itself, that has all this patience to try and hammer down a brick wall in order to get some VALID points through so you will, maybe, eventually, understand. All considering hes stats and hes experience, he probably knows what hes talking about and as someone who played SOLO 90% of my games in CV and consider myself a fairly decent CV main, i agree with everything he said those far, matter of fact he covered everything there is to cover, so i don't need to add anything to it. If i were you, I would sit down, open my brain and just soak all the information from the very few players that actually do know a thing or two about the game, and are willing to share this knowledge with you, instead of trying to fight them over. Because so far, with every wall of text you post, you just make yourself look more ridiculous...no offense. Eventually, even Sunleaders patience will run out and you will get stuck in your little world with sub 50% W/R and yellow/red stats, learning pretty much nothing out of all that time you spent writing all those walls. Think about it P.S. Since you can't get rid of your "Teamplay" mentality in a CV, let me show you a good example, on how CV doesn't need to co-operate with anyone but hes own judgement to decide the outcome of any game. And this time its in Clan wars, where "Teamplay" is in its peak compared to the random battles you're used to play. The match was played in Typhoon league: CZA, Hak perspective.wowsreplay

Dear god, no.

@Sunleader Why do you even bother at this point....

Is this the same for Richthofen as well?

Nice, do you also have a picture with the rockets reticle as well?

Everything you mentioned is irrelevant to what makes the ship so powerful in the current meta compared to others.

Venezia out-classes all the other cruisers in the game in every aspect.

Are you certain the AP bombers are the same as GZ? that is, with that round reticle? I really hope not, because if they are, i see little point playing that line at all... I'm fine with them being an inferior version of IJN bombers, but they should at least have the "classic" reticle.

AKA as adapting, something most players are incapable of.

I always wondered, where did this meme originate from?

What do you think about the secondaries and the ship armor scheme?

I agree, its one of the things that worried me the most about them. I think they should keep the speed, but reduce the arming time. Because at this point, if you get TA on them you get the kaga torp aim time only with 25 knots speed instead of 50...

Don't bother, he marks every CV discussion that isn't another "CV OP" as boring. He is a good representation of this community in general, they already accepted that DD is always food for any CV player, there is no counter play at all and dear god if you try to give any useful tips and strategy to improve your odds against CVs you are sent to gulag on the spot. Personally, I play a lot of eu DD and I have no issues against the majority of CV players, since 95% of the CV players are average to potato anyway. Matter of fact, I'm having so much fun playing those DDs that i play them a lot more than CVs lately. There are also many good CV players here, like Yoshanai, that are also very good at playing DDs and know how to play around the majority of CV players without much issue and adapted their playstyle. Sure, a unicum CV player will probably nail you either way, but the chance to encounter one is like wining the lottery, the rest of the CV playerbase is easy to work with. But you won't see them bothering sharing those tips because its a waste of time with this community and player base, because all we get for doing it is hate.

Ok so I just watched Flamus videos that showcases the new KM CVs. Seems that WG tweaked some numbers around and overall the line looks interesting: DB: Don't know how the reticle and drop behavior look like, but number-wise, they seem to be a worse version of IJN DBs. TB: Highest alpha in the game, T6 drops 2x8000 damage, will be pretty fine vs T5-6 BBs since they are sluggish, TB are also fairly fast. However they will probably be useless against anything else. T-X drop 3x102000. Rockets: Hard to judge at this point since a lot of info is missing, we don't know how the reticle looks like and the rocket dispersion. T-X rockets seem to be AP TiTs. Armor wise: Turtle back armor, Parasval is pretty much immune to citadel hits and Richtofen has BB armor and 50mm ice breaker. Secondaries: Starting from tier 8, 7km secondaries, 7.4km at tier X, GZ 105mm stat wise. I think WG is encouraging more aggressive plays with those CVs, we will see if it ends up a meme or something that is actually viable.... Overall, the line looks fresh and different from the rest, which is very nice. Also the plane art looks fantastic, 10/10, especially on Parasval, the planes look AMAZING. big kudos to the art team.

Takes a lot of courage to ask for CV buffs on this forums, Il give you that.

People get free stuff and still complain... The directives are so pathetically easy that I completed them without even paying attention. I have so far 110 tokens, and Il be very happy if il get the Mikoyan for free, which should be no problem, the rest is just a bonus. I say thanks to WG for every premium ship they give me for free.

A CV that has useless torps, meh dive bombers and rockets which are only good against cruisers, then yeah they need to be effective at what they do.

RN CVs are also crap, yet people play them. People also buy trash like Indomitable. Unicum CV players, obviously know what CV to play, but they are 0.1% of the CV population, the rest will play whatever.

in other news..... From what it looks like, WG is trying to handle the current CV problem by releasing new CVs which are more or less "toned down" (i.e trash), and by doing this hoping to spread the CV population around those. FDR was the first example so far, today I played 2 games with Parsavals in my team that pretty much contributed nothing to the game at all, and by looking at it throughout the game, had next to no impact, seems that even implacable is more effective than Parsaval. From the looks of it, comparing Parasavel to Shokaku and Lexi is like comparing Gearing to Smite.... Will be interesting to see how this will unfold. I think either more CV players will play those "Sterilized, balanced" CVs , or the player base will get tired of it and just abandon the entire German line and FDR, making them more or less dead content. @Excavatus Did you also get access to Parsavel and can share some...."no NDA" stuff on that?

Skane for me.

What? that's not even close. I don't know what game have you been playing but arty is pretty much counter to everything in WoT. Compared to CV, arty is pretty much "finger of god" that can strike you from everywhere, at anytime, and WITH NO WARNING. With CV, you can see the planes coming, you have AA you can play around the team, you can do SOMETHING against that, against arty you got nothing, even if the player is a total idiot, he can still kill you. Doesn't matter if you drive a medium tank or heavy, it can kill you either way, either by direct fire or by de-tracking in the worst positions. From what I understand, now arty also has "stun" shells as well.... Also having 2-3 arty players in a team back then was a common thing compared to 1 CV per team in this game. Its gets even worse when the arty player is really good as well, I had arty players on the enemy team in ESL tournaments that could nail my T-54/Patton at full speed/dodging no problem. The only real counter to arty was counter-battery, and even that was unreliable against a good arty player. Arty is way, WAY worse than CVs in all regards. This is coming from someone who played from the 1st day of CBT in WoT and played on ESL.
