game numbers there are too low to worry over win rate instead look at your average damage and pr (personal rating) and work out from that if your performing well in a ship or not

Well wg listened so that's my self imposed ban on purchasing premiums lifted Well done wg and thx for listening to the players

want to see if it would work then take wg to small claims court because wg will probably not send anyone to contest it you will most likely win (talking uk) if you can present a strong enough case (and that's debatable as well) but lets say you won (woopiee) and you have a writ saying wg owe you whatever you paid cash for the saipan then you go and submit that to wg what do you think would happen? my guess would be probably return of your cash you paid and then banned for life from wg products all above is hypothetical on the presumption I have any idea what I am talking about and hey with a name like Beercrazy what could go wrong

gotta agree with that thing is implement something like that and its another "support" role removed from cvs and lets be honest here the spotting is all they have left I agree totally something like that should be implemented but cvs are going to need a bit of love back if they do because people are giving up cvs and selling them because its getting boring and sodding harder to play em

I would say its a crap bismark/kurfurst hybrid it has to be played and completed though if you want a gk or get a shed load of free xp spent

nope it don't if you still have any other cv of same nation researched if you sell any higher tier cv xp will go to the lower tier cv before the one you sell ie sell midway and it goes to lexi and sell lexi it then goes to ranger all the way down till it gets dumped back on the tier 1 cruiser you start the game with

am I the only one who seems to get about 1 in about 6 games having cvs in them unless I play cv all I see is people whine about aa is too strong or aiming is retarded and lets not forget the torps do nothing now whine then you see the I cant hurt planes I cant even sail a dd anymore its not fair cvs cant be hurt blah blah blah you can counter cvs the same as you can counter radar or stealth torping ect dds turn your sodding aa off and leave it off unless you can actually shoot planes down with it because its gonna make cvs spot you from the moon and when a cv does focus you then drop smoke ffs (obviously not for torp planes but if you get hit by them then stop playing dds ) cruisers are the best aa boats in the game and all cv players hate having to attack em till late game when their aa is either damaged or they are low health so stick together and try and focus aa and your aa sector needs always to be set ready for the side your going to get attacked from bbs I know you wont like this but ffs move up and stay in the aa bubble from the team and yea I know you got 20+k range for your guns but you need to stick to the cruisers and not hide at the back and if any of the classes see a mino on your team stick to the sucker like hes your best buddy because that aa can shread a cv squad before it even gets near actually dropping its load do we really need cvs in the game and I would say no but they are and wg wont change them back or make them a pure support class so either adapt or suffer the pain from it

can you imagine the size of the wet paint sign to warn incoming returning aircraft someone has done a bit of paint touching up

ranger to the lexi is a nice step up in planes and ability to do damage hope its going to be the same in british cv line but not the impressed with how the implacable seems to be doing with the few yt vids i have seen of it

not got it yet but I have faced them and seen a lot in battles and tbh they do rubbish and are nearly always in the bottom 1/3 of the team at the end the tier 6 planes are so slow in my lexi I can drop the fighters on them and they don't even get the chance to get out of the range before the fighters engage which is awful for them I did try the Hermes but the play was so slow it was painful not sure what wg is trying to aim for with the british cvs but it sure aint working at the moment

completely agree with you there pal in my view its like this: tier 8 and 10 jap cvs have ok double launch torps and virtually useless 4 torp launch, the ap bombs are as you say hit and miss (pun intended) on if you get a citadel or not even when aimed perfectly and the rocket fighters are near useless the 8 and 10 American cvs are loads better the torps for the lexi are very usuable and you can get 8k on a triple hit most times but the torps are complete crap at tier 10 and all 6 hit you will be lucky against a bb to get 12k, the rocket fighters throw up the tiny tims which give a good variance against the hvar and the dive bombers can do reliable damage against all classes due to it being HE so even the not so great hits you may get a fire or 2 playing the cvs at the moment it hard if your mm has put you up tiered but its fine at normal tier but when your in the jap cv it feels like impossible at high tier and very hard work at normal tier @RedAnark I would hold on for the moment in selling the ship unless you are desperate for the credits because all your going to do is stick some xp on shokaku and the hasidate which isn't going to do a great deal for you wg are changing cvs weekly at the moment with the "hotpatchers" and the normal updates and though nearly every change has usually been to make cvs worse the player base for cvs has now dropped quite a lot to what was just after the rework and wg will have to at some point rebalance the tier 8 and 10 jap cvs so they are more in line with American or nerf the American cvs which is probably what will happen

Who the hell would play em? I do agree some more support ie smoke screen and certainly a better system for the fighters because the 1 min won't engage fighters are crap Look at what people complain about and its moan moan moan from all the classes including the cv and you know wg have a nightmare on there hands sorting this Wg won't return to the old system as too much time and money has been invested as well as wg won't remove the cv either because they want to make money from it so we are left with over nerf over buff crap probably for the next 6 months Think this is bad wait till the submarines get added and we get to do this all over again

and!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! another cv thread starts there is 4002749 threads started this week by people crying over cvs and probably just as many for people who want to make love to wg all night long just for changing cvs everyone crying or loving and nobody hardly seems to remember we are still testing the damn things seeing as wg didn't want to test them properly in pts

saipan is great when team is mostly tier6/8 but god awful if its heavy tier 10 the reserve is so low you can end up with nothing left after 10 mins so you have to be extremely careful what your doing the torps need a epic long run up to close the aim but once done you should get a good few 2/3 hits per drop the dive bombers are as expected very good but your gonna lose em all fast due to low numbers and high aa damage done to get close and after leaving your drop its a ship that needs very good cv skills to make it work really well on a constant level and is probably overall the worst tier 8 cv in the game the plane reserve numbers is the thing that kills this ship and wg say yea but its got tier 10 stock planes but I personally would prefer tier 8 planes and tier 8 reserve numbers at least that way you could feel more comfortable when you lose full squads which you do nearly every time in tier 10 games

glad I haven't bought anything since the nerf premium announcement now lets see what they give in compensation and if its not good enough wows has lost a paying customer who will become a ftp player

yes by at least 1 full square of map don't get me wrong pal I aint trying to say I never stuff up but the first time it happened I blamed myself and increased the distance for first waypoint but it has happened about 6 times now and has led to me being killed twice as I didn't realise quick enough and found myself left alone and by the time I sorted it the enemy have either got some lucky shots in because I am spotted by enemy cv or its a simple case of a dd getting close enough on one of the smaller maps personally I feel this is a bug and never had it before till the rework and ive had over 6k games and played for a damn long time (closed beta) but thanks anyway for trying to make sure I wasn't a complete numpty this time as ive been known to do some daft stuff especially when drunk even bought the Mikasa package when it came out

before this goes nuclear between you two think I better explain this better what I do at start of the game is first off planes up and aim them where I want then I go into map mode and set usually 4 waypoints first one being in front of my cv by about a full square then I tend to choose which side to actually sail to following what I see as the most useful ships to hang around ie aa ships but this is where it goes weird because after my first set of planes have been done with it give it the f key and find my ship is going backwards and turning to follow the waypoints in reverse even though I set the first waypoint in front of my ship and yes I know waypoint setting but I know everyone can stuff up and make mistakes or not even know the basics of the game also personally I would prefer the control of ship coming back to us I don't think the autopilot is unusable its just bugged at times

I agree it can be done but a couple times now I set auto pilot and the damn ship just starts reversing and turning round to follow the auto pilot route has this happen to anyone else or is it me being a complete turnip and not doing something right?

Had loads of 10k plus hits with the dB on midway against dds You get the good hits then get a - 1 rep report lol

Thought the +2 planes on deck means at start of match you have 2 extra planes available and the capacity is always 2 extra ie 18 fighters or take the mod and its 20 I personally take this

Played quite a few games with the hvar and the tiny Tim's and come to conclusion the hvar are better The tiny Tims are more forgiving as the aim reticule gets smaller but the rockets are so hit and miss its painful The hvar do take some getting used to but once worked out can do massive damage especially to cruisers As for the lex and spending free xp go for the dbs first as they are your primary damage dealers The strike aircraft are good for scouting at the start and when your at end game and shooting across map to hit that low health ship The lex is a very good ship and is probably better than the midway for its tier but it don't +2mm very well

lets be honest the cvs aint gonna be rolled back to pre cv rework so cvs need to be balanced and if that's the case nerfing plane classes till they are either unusable or down right rubbish isn't the way to go and neither is making one plane class so op it ruins the game I personally feel the strike aircraft should be the dd tool to spot and punish dds but certainly not to the ability they used to do but at the moment the strike aircraft are useless the torp bombers should be the big hitting bb damage dealers and useless against other classes but for some reason wg has decided they are crap for American ships but not too bad for japan cvs the dbs shouldn't be able to splat destroyers like they do and should be the anti cruiser hitter in my view how wg would work that into play I have no idea so all we are going to get is more db hitting everything for good damage in American cv games and torp bombers and db in Japanese cv games wg shouldn't have done the massive lets nerf to high heaven hot fixes as they did instead it should have been more testing and then releasing to the server but hey in my view the reworked cvs where released way too early

Bb tier 10 with say 90k health from a midway that gets 12k per perfect salvo (6 torps a salvo or drop) is approx 45 torp hits and that doesn't include any heals or floods Now let's not get too silly over this because American torps are near miracle to get 6 hits in a drop and you never really get more than 2 drops per squad Are they op lol god no but are the American dB op then yeah but if you take that away what has the American cvs got left and that's a big fat nothing Yes cvs are op in good players hands and complete dog crap in others gg wg

Why is the player who purchased a product to help promote and contribute to a game being punished by wg I can understand the cry of the players who don't have these ships but by god why is wg going to ruin cash paying consumers purchased products No where I can think off in the consumer market at the moment do people purchase a product and then hand it back for a inferior product and have to accept it because "balance" Game is going crazy with nerf premiums and cv frenzy

cant move the saipan kaga ect back to tier7 as the wait times would be epic because the mm would have to wait for another saipan or kaga as for the "support class" idea its down the toilet now pal because all cvs do is strike strike strike and the spotting now all depends on if you want a low damage game by allowing your planes to fly around and around waiting for your team to shoot the ships you spot
