Hello! With introduction of pan-europe tech tree comes an issue that I anticipated. Just like with pan-Asia and pan-America national voiceover+ doesn't work at all and language enabled in settings is choosen instead. Gameplay wise it's not end of the world. But for any national+ lover it's a quite anoying experience. Before pan-asian tech tree was properly introduced Anshan and Loyang used Chinese (Traditional) and with introduction of full tree it broke. There was a quick workaround: set voiceover language to Chinese (Traditional). While I'm an EU player I cant rly relate to asian players who are more familiar with asian languages. And there are lots of nations across the techtree. However currently we have polish and dutch ship already. Those are 2 languages to work-around. Stack it with asian or even pan-american ship and you have 4 different languages to keep in mind. And we should except full EU tech tree at some point, which is only going to add more issues. What I suggest is that we should make national+ setting work as intended for all pan ships. Mostly because polish and dutch are already avaible in client anyway. What are your thoughts? Be sure to take part in discussion below!

I hope they scrapped Indomitable, because they dont have other options for that ship now x3

Hello everyone I will try to spare words as mych as possible. So first introduction: I'm confident I'm a experienced CV player. I played in both RTS and current system, scored rank 1 in current ranked season almost exclulively with CV so I believe I'm qualified enought to give that feedback. First of all. CVs needed some nerf or balancing as they were definetly overpowered. Only ships I deemed a threat were Minotaur and Worcester (same for WIP Smoleńsk and Coulbert). Ships such as Des Moines were largely powerless against CV's power. However this changes doesnt resolve any problem. It just shifts it. Now that queue almost doesnt include CVs at all. With current small but very significant AA change I see CVs going back into RTS era in that field with some excetions that I will cover further down. 1. AA regained it's old strength more or less, but there is flak on top of that and it has devastating effect. 2. Now all ships have significant AA. Bad, decent AA - count losses, good to great AA - squadron wiped. (For example I have seen Izmaił which that scored 40+ planes down facing tier VIII carrier) 3. This requires CV players to know their target, choose it wise and wait for right moment. But RTS carrier if done that well scored significant damage or straight up devastating strike. Current CVs gameplay is all about multiple strikes that do less damage and are less significant. This completly destroy entire concept of CV rework. You have to strike and recall squadron back or get planes wiped. This makes multiple attack runs useless and without purpose other that providing bigger health pool, but it's still a waste 4. RTS carried had multiple teamplay aspects to fulfill when looking for strike opportunity: Countering enemy carrier, spotting, spotting torpedoes. Currently you can only do spotting duty and it means dropping DPS role when committed. I would also like to mention that getting uptiered when playing CV is an absolute abstraction. And this comes from pov of USN CVs that are known for most durable planes. Ships such as IJN CVs and Graf Zeppelin suffer greatly, , while Saipan and Indomitable (not released RN tier VIII premium CV) simply doesnt work at all. And when uptiered you can just leave match. Purpose of healing party for torpedo squadron also got nulified with current update. It simply doesnt work if you dont catch flaks (and you shouldnt). Only ships I found doing somewhat well are Enterprise and Kaga. When top tier they do well enough thanks to large aircraft numbers and fast recovery. My recommendation is following: Two updates from now if issuse is not even addressed I would reccomend to issue refund ticket for following premium ships: Saipan and Graf Zeppelin - as they simply doesnt work. Discussion is welcomed :)

Whops :D Those torps are not going out of my mind! Haha! Thanks men and fixed now!

Suggestion: Do something with Tier 7 premium DD Błyskawica! If any of you heard panasian line is comming soon. On tier 7 new tree offers us destroyer Ganjah Mada, one of british class N destoryers. Błyskawica is N class destroyer as well. So both ships are almost the same. Just like Pensacola and Indianapolis for example. The whole problem is the fact that Błyskawica as premium ship have way worse camo, torpedoes, DPS on guns. Błyskawica is only couple knots faster than Ganjah mada and it looks like premium Błyskawica that cost real money is just going to be bad clone of free Ganjah Mada. Some stats to look at: Błyskawica | Ganjah Mada Max camo: 6,8 km | Max Camo: 6,1 km Torps: 2x3 8km 57 knots | Deep torps: 2x5 8km 61 knots and better dmg per torp Guns: 7 6,5 s reload | Guns: 6 5 s reload with better angles Błyska guns have 900m/s shell velocity Ganjah have 800m/s, but Ganjah's DPS is still better I would suggest to do something with her. My idea is to give Błyskawica repair crew just like on Kidd or Russian destroyers. Błyskawica playstyle is similar to CCCP DDs. She is gunboat with a little hybrid tweaks. High speed and rely mostly on guns instand of torpedoes. Błyskawicas main task is to fight enemy destroyers and she is doing it well. So repair crew will only improve this role while giving some cons compared to Ganjah Mada. Also Anshan is in simmilar place. But Anshan's tree variant have deep torps and better camo. Anshan in return have torpedoes that hit DDs and it's camo with +100% free exp bonus gives it something unique. Not to mention whole line of asian DDs that can use some captain training from premium ship. And now when I'm about to end this post. Why do I think WG wont touch Błyskawica? Because almost 2 weeks before any CC had acces to new line (so they could make a video about new line) they gave us discount on Błyskawica to propably sell it one last time, before any smart player wont pay for worse version of free Ganjah Mada. But now when we know about Ganjah's stats it's clear that it is just a better DD. I still hope that War Gamimg will do something about Błyska's situation and buff her some way.

Would I recomend buying błyskawica? No i wouldn't! And why? Because in like 1 week Pan asian destroyers are in game. And on tier 7 i placed some magical ship named Ganjah Mada A.K.A british class N destroyer A.K.A BŁYSKAWICA! And what does that mean? That mean some things: Błyskawica | Ganjah Mada Max camo: 6,8 km | Max Camo: 6,1 km Torps: 2x3 8km 57 knots | Deep torps: 2x5 8km 61 knots and better dmg per torp Guns: 7 6,5 s reload | Guns: 6 5 s reload with better angles Błyska guns have 900m/s shell velocity Ganjah have 800m/s, but Ganjah's DPS still better And last one! Błyskawica is couple knots faster. But it still dont compensate that it is a premium ship just worse than it's free version. I dont have AA values, but TBH Błyska AA is bad like most of DDs and even if Ganjah have worse AA it is still not enought to pay for this premium! I hope WG will give her some buff or anything, but based on fact that they made a discount on it almost 2 weeks before any CC got acces to make a video about upcomming line means one thing! WG just try to sell it one last time before any normal player wont spend money on actually worse clone of free tree ship!

I do not actually own Graf Zeppelin, but I have some experience fighting is as an Enterprise. It really is true that GZ is underpowered and is worst of T8 cv right now. I have my own idea of how to make GZ work, but today I saw that GZ test 1 have 3 TB squadrons back. And I'm really unhappy about it. I want to bring back that Midway used to have 2 tb squadrons, but it was nerfed to only 1. Reason was that 12 torpedoes at water are to OP. And now what do we have there? WG is trying to break another stupid record by giving CV 15 fcking torps at 1 moment? This is insane! Kaga already have 12, Enterprise 10, Taiho and Hakuryu up to 12. This is kinda overwhelming right now. So bringing 15 torps is not good at all. Also I'm not to mourn here about Midway having only 6. This is bad, but DB are good in USN tree. So why wont we do same thing on GZ. Graf was suposed to have bombers only anyway (in historical therms). It have amazing drop pattern for HE DB. My idea how to make GZ work is to give him: -2 fighters squadrons with tier 8 aircraft 5 planes each -2 dive bombers squadrons with tier 8 aircraft 6 planes each - Loaded with HE -1 dive bomber squadron with tier 8 aircraft 6 planes - Loaded with (good) AP After AS commander skill you have 12 fighters and 21 bombers in air, which makes you really good universal CV. You can fight all classes, nuke, play with fire, and also have good dmg source agaist BB. To compare it with Enterprise, which is really BB oriented bacause of its wide TB pattern and AP DBs (Lets be honest. Everyone bought it for AP not HE) you can do much! You have okay planes. Maybe too poor to win AS Lexinton, but you can play against Shokaku or Enterprise with no problems. Thats my opinion based on games I played agaist Graf and my own CV experience. I'm open on feedback about my idea! Have a good day everyone! Edit: Played couple games on tier 8 cv to see GZ in action. Really decent player in terms of fighters battles (which is one of best skill indicators) managed to 1 shoot North Carolina with no problem at all. BB was full hp. Graf can do it to any BB it wish! This is not how it should look like. Not at all!
