You can say the same for any ship, if you find CV players speschul enough. Hatsuharumasterrace?

I don't see how thats an issue, as DM still reigns superb for surface combat AND have nothing to sneeze at AA. Without practice how to Freedom Kruzer it might be tad rough experience. But then Monty is tad... powercrept in terms of AA. And then you have Justin Beiber... err Jean Bart.
-
Thing is, if I want to play "torpedo focused CVs" I have IJN already, which are superior at that both plane, torpedo and reserves wise AND have target specific AP bombs, which, when applied correctly actually do something compared to throwing firecrackers left right and center. And then T8 and T10 themselves are meh side, forced into FCM1 use due to tiny reserves+lengthy replenishment. Speed also leaves something to be desired, which happens to be important when angry cruisers are in pursuit

Pray to RNGesus hard enough and you might get mission from "air supply" container from currently going directives.

This is the problem with UK carriers. You don't use bombers unless you have suitable target like UK/FR battleship, maybe carrier without reinforced deck. And yet effective hp pool for squadron often is comparable to IJN planes, while being slower, thus spending more time within AA range. Not to mention catapult fighters/CAP being extra lethal to UK smaller squadrons.

Who remember playing against the old CV

Queen Elizabeth - any point having as well as Warspite?

Monarch loses one gun compared to KGV class, so "HE DPM" is actually lower. Not that it matter much, as accuracy on that ship was atrocious compared to "passable" KGV and DoY, which with HE you usually need to connect them compared to landing AP in rather specific area. Though DoY can at least attempt using AP due to American Piercing ricochet angles, bonus points for reminding smoking citizens of randomness she has Hydro But then I find Richelieu one of the most consistent T8 "BB" despite many claiming otherwise, so RNGesus giveth and RNGesus taketh? -
Just like tank build on BB, doesn't make you immune, just buys you time to make the most out of heals.

Leander lacks range and 8 CL guns at times leaves something to be desired, but she is top pick for T6 Ops. Aoba IS Furutaka, except with +faster reload +better range -slower turret traverse -rear facing metal fish dispensers -worse rear turret firing arc ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And I'd bring 356mm KGV flamethrowers into tier 10 than 381mm spud guns of Monarch -

Rather she feels like prebuff Wankspite, as she for quite a few years lacked WD40 on turret bearings Dunkek captains will come in handy later in Lion/Conqueror due to boosted JoaT to help with eternal heal reload, improved EM doesn't hurt either -
I'm not saying its not possible, but (hightier) RTS CV was to me like radiation, better applied in small doses. On other hand, the most fun I've ever had with RTS carriers was 0/1/3 Lexi and shortly before rework, Hiryu (when I got no confuse spells on me)
-
Free respec ends... tommorow morning? For AA purposes, yes and beats Minotaur only by use of DFAA. For more... passive approach (and much less skill demanding ship), Mino is better. For shooting anything on earth, DM. Wooster and Mino can be stalked by Stealth IJN TBs, DM can't.
-
I've got more often than I'm comfortable with managing 6 squads of Midway and Hiryu and you want me to handle eight squads?
-
Funny, because mine is still in port though somehow I had more blast in Shokek, I guess every cruiser shipping itself with DFAA on mere hint of [T10 CV] have something to do with that.
-
Umm, Hakuryu would have a word with you. Also durability is countered by plane amount (base values) TB: Autistic: 9x2400=21600hp, 199kts top speed Hakuku: 12*1810=21720hp, 203kts top speed DB: 9x2440=21960hp, 199kts top speed 12*1800=21600hp, 212kts top speed 12 sized squad usually can soak up single Catapult (4 fighters, 5 with DCfF) without too much impact on strike potential, 9x not so much while CAP goes from "lethal" to "very lethal" Come to think of it, Direction Center for Fighters might be quite meta due to fighters effectiveness

"carriers OP, nerf, they touch my boat in inappropriate places"

You mean something reported back in 0.8.0 PTS and still not accounted for, despite being easy fix with existing stock of aircraft? Then you have "wisdoms" like "WG "calculated" and deemed Stukas to be unsuitable for reworked T8 Graf Zepp, despite them working just fine before
-
inb4 rework undone because CVs got too popular
-
I run AA, because neither Rockets and TBs are worth buffing their attack time. And aircraft with the most hp benefits the most from +%hp buff. And then you want to improve aircrafts which usually spend the most time within AA due to slow-ish attack animation. Which coincidentally happens to be DB

I still have default given sub and haven't bothered with extra missions, yet. But I have conundrum about Anshan trio. They serve well in low cost, low map farming, but they hit 70lvl already and can't go any further without LB. Finding up to 12 bulins aside, LBing them massively bumps their fuel cost (from 3 to 9 at max LB), which slightly defeat the point, if I can just shove Phoenix/Brooklyn/Leanders at the same price per boat for so much more dakka. -
Yep, 1min active, 90s reload

Late game capping isn't that impossible. But planting CV near or onto cap in first half of the battle either means you ded or someone, somewhere fluffed up spectacularly. And CV play, evading flak and target selection can be immersive at times I'll give WG that.

QE better AA will come in handy in Ops when bots finally learn how to fly, her secondaries are also bit more consistent. -
Fires last 5s, flooding 30s "to prevent CV sniping", combined with CV own CAP
