Never was a fan of old rts cv gameplay so I didnt grind any high tier ones but the rework got me interested and from what i can tell after playing both T-IV cvs is that they are horrendously bad. 1 Flak burst from a tier IV myogi takes away a third of the squadrons health. The planes are very slow and they turn like a damn kurfurst so its very difficult to dodge the flak. Another thing is the firepower itself. 1 torpedo per drop? Really? They do like 4k damage, have a pathetic flood chance and It's a miracle if you actually manage to drop the torp sucessfully. The dive bombers are a bit better {for the hosho at least) but still IF you can get through the flak without losing planes, IF enemy is bad enough to sail straight forward and doesnt turn when you start the drop and IF you get a good RNG on the drop and you get 2 citadels, you can at best 6k damage from the drop. Now 6k damage is quite a lot of damage for a t4 cv right? yeah but 80-90% of the time you''ll get 2 overpens on cruisers( thats 600 damage) maybe a lucky pen and an overpen on a BB (if you get to it alive) doing like 2k dmg. Forget about hitting any destoyers unless you use the rocket planes which die in seconds when you enter the aa range of anything else than a dd. You have to be really lucky and/or very good at new cvs to do more than 20-25k dmg per game.
