So I have been capping a bit lately and I noticed that it is very costly to take caps in the current meta. Carriers can easily reset the cap when you don't have a smoke screen available, and if you have one available it is pretty costly to use just a smoke screen for a silly cap, besides it is also kinda boring to sit in a cap for 60 seconds... My idea is to bring it down to 30 seconds, so that it becomes less likely that the carrier player can keep resetting the cap when you don't have a smoke screen available. I think this is a good thing, since the capping rewards are already pretty poor and will make the gameplay less stale. Let me know what you guys think about it by voting or replying :) Greetings Lemon

Share the replays?

She has smoke, dfaa and hydro. She looks really capable.

It's Polish, it has a Polish flag The Friesland looks really awesome and a DD without torpedoes looks really interesting :3

I don't really mind the stats. I do mind good games, where I have the feeling I am useful. I used to have this feeling in the late games, but now I just feel completely useless. I feel like I am just a toy for CVs.

There's always room for improvement and I am struggling against carriers, hence I am asking for help.

I don't get killed by HE spam. It is super easy to avoid, just stay dark or use an island to block the HE spam. ^^

Sorry that you couldnt help me out than :)

That I am losing from CVs, but ofcourse I could play easy mode by playing CVs as well.

So you mean I am screwed when I have to fight carriers xD My average hitrate is 40%, but thanks :) I can't sustain my winrate in the current meta, because the games I used to carry I now get bombed to crap in the late game. Yes, so this basically means I will have to play meta ships again, which I don't like, but perhaps is the thing I should do. Easy on the judgement, Sayko. WarGaming doesn't allow account transfers, so I had to continue the grind on my beta account if I wanted to play Clan Battles on a more suitable time. I simply started on NA, because I started playing this game when my clan from NavyFIELD NA started playing World of Warships as well, long before we had clans. I even offered WG to pay for the account transfer... The point of this thread that I am having trouble winning late games against carriers, so I am looking for tips and tricks. I don't have much fun when I am trying really hard to win, but get deleted by something I can't defend myself against... At least that is how the late games feel. What used to work doesn't work anymore and I am looking for a solution for this. I guess I could play super passive and try to avoid taking objectives at all, so that I can preserve my hp for the late game.

Well that used to be a pretty fun part of this game; positioning. That is basically how better players win games. However carriers reduce the effect of good positioning. You can position yourself in such a way that you always only have to fight 1 opponent, but with carriers this is extremely difficult. You have to keep moving, otherwise you are toast, but because you have to keep on moving it becomes really difficult to keep the battle at 1 vs 1. This is still perfectly possible, but eventually you run out of bait and than you have to suck it up. Mid - late game it is your turn to suck up CV damage, but this also means you get spotted continuously. So regaining HP which you lost from taking objectives is impossible. You basically just need these to make sure you will find the CV before your HP reaches 0, which is really difficult, especially because the closer you get to a carrier the more strikes he can launch at you. Getting the objectives isn't much of a big deal, but outliving the CV is pretty darn difficult with the tools given. @CptBarneyI have no clue. Jean Bart has some pretty decent AA though, but her armour is weak, combined with low hit points. It kinda comes down on using her speed, combined with the reload booster, to surprise and flank enemies to ease the control of objectives for your team I guess. Haven't really played her in the current meta.

I am at 63%, but it is a second account (I have one on NA and EU :) ), but I am struggling with maintaining this win rate in the current meta due striking power of carriers late game. Guess I ll just be playing Montana for awhile then :P

Unless it takes longer than 10 seconds. The material itself is kinda sensitive, so it is best to not share this if I want to prevent myself from getting chat banned... Good luck at work! :)

Still waiting for WG to admit that they screwed up.

It is pretty sad that WG leaves us with their rework mess, just because they don't want to admit how hard they failed...

They were in the air in time.

So if you launch 3 fighters and they kill zero planes it sounds like a bug. They just keep circling around clueless, just like the average wows player.

That is why I am reporting this bug.

Bug report: Fighter consumable is useless. Launched in time, still got bombed to crap. Please fix.

Mmm... Yea, I also don't know what happens when a ship receives Elite status. Unless I missed it, I would guess it is a feature they took from WoT but never fully introduced it to WoWS, because they wanted to keep this game more simple.

Why would you think that? The cap times in Ranked and Clan Battles are shorter, with even less players. Why would we need 60 seconds with bigger teams in a game mode with the current state of carriers. Sniping will be less ideal I guess..

30 seconds is still sufficient time for a well positioned team to delay a cap, see Clan Battles. Carriers will still be able to delay the cap once, but it will be a tough one to have the second squadron there in time, making carriers less effective at delaying capture zones. Is this bad? I don't think so, if surface ships can't protect their cap than you should lose the cap imo.

I am using on some occasions the hp pool and timer mod. Mostly when I have the time to play Clan Battles I download the Aslain mod, because I need the timer, in addition I equip the HP pool one. When CB season is over I usually play vanilla.
