DBs are there mostly only for fires. Use your repair and heal inteligently.

I said that before, I will say that again and you can hate on me as much as you want... In the current situation, on public, CV fighter decks are played only by noobs unable to handle bombers or by CV griefers (=butthurt BB players).

During CBT I have been shooting allied DDs capping base on encounter maps (single flag in middle) quite often. But since smoke-caping is gone, I didn't shoot at a single ally, there is no reason to... Although I convinced one capping DD to leave the cap, because there were still 3 enemy ships with full HP left to kill, we had massive number advantage, enemy ships were slow and we had map control. He got out of it at least 2 torp hits + kill.

That is happening since 4.1 patch. Your planes have to be aligned before you give them order to drop torps. You can get used to it for torpedo bombers, quite a big annoyance for dive bombers.

one of the first pictures on google when searching for soviet ships... Not sure what happened there

It can be, or it can be a "big thing" that will attract lots of new players. They are missing out huge opportunity to advertise the game.

rofl, approximately 1/3 of a team is not loaded when battle starts. That is serious issue... I tried it on 2 PCs and 2 laptops, it is nearly impossible to get into battle in time without SSD. If this is working as intended, SSD should be mentioned in minimum harware requirements.

I kind of disagree with one thing... personally, my target priority is as follows: DD > lone CA > lone BB > CA in group > BB in group From your stats it is clearly visible that you go all in on BBs (lots of dmg, lot less of exp and kill/battle)

I wonder what he was trying to prove with those screenshots. Like this - It even looks like that secondaries of that Ryujo might have killed him

My bad, I thought it was 3 / 4 seconds prior to 0.4.1 for IJN / USN damn autocorrect

Planes can't drop torps on land, they will disappear if you land them on land. You can actually see that on the picture (that is USN TB squadron - 6 planes, yet only 4 of them in the water = 2 of them were dropped on land). I am absolutely sure that the first one didn't arm before hitting your ship, the second one probably too. Only the last one, maybe second from right too. - if you disagree ,post replay for proof ... btw arming time for USN air dropped torpedoes is 4s in water

because sailing straight, then turning and dropping torps takes skill. Or sailing just outside of your spotting range and spamming torpedoes when they are reloaded takes lot of skill... oh wait.

Like Sharana said, the ability to have fighter for lowtier BBs was tested and removed, because it was too OP.

You can butcher planes from T6 and T7 CVs. Shokaku has more sturdy planes, but again only 2 TB squadrons... turn towards one, focus other one. USN CVs have only 1 TB squadron, so no problem there (and Essex won't be splitting squadrons and attacking Cleveland that has AA barrage on...).

Surprisingly not, Langley lost 4 TBs before he aligned attack (panicked pattern, no hits) and remaining 2 on the way back, Zuiho lost one squadron before it even dropped, second got panicked and missed all torps.

Unless it is Taiho/Essex that is attacking you, Cleveland with AA barrage on can shred CV planes extremely quickly. And all IJN CVs below Taiho have only 2 TBs, which means 1 TB per side.. focus fire on one TB, you will kill probably 3 or up to all 4 planes before he can even drop torps. In the meantime keep heading towards the other TB squadron. DB has approximately less than 10% chance to hit you with AA bararge on, don't even bother about them - and you are wildly turning, making it hard to aling them properly.

ffs guys... I was abusing that spotter plane in my Kongo yesterday and poor Zuiho/Langley players had absolutely no chance to score any hits on me. It's BS and well known bug since that PT before wipe and it took them this long to fix it...

Dobrá připomínka.. kouknul jsem na tu stránku a z RU serveru tam mají 864 hráčů (8k z EU a 7k z NA).

Nicely done, but just so you know what it takes to create a tree, I suggest you to read this series: http://ritastatusreport.blogspot.co.uk/2015/08/so-you-want-to-build-wot-tech-tree-cz.html And keep in mind that creating a tank model is approximately 100x easier than creating ship mode. Not to mention that you need blueprints, detailed info about armor scheme, propulsion, armament, etc. Figure out "stock" and "elite" modules, etc.

We need several Hydras in the chokepoint on Strait map guarding it.

You are in a Cleveland and you have AA barrage on and you have problem with planes? Focus and quickly kill squadron on one side... problem solved.

I was "abusing" it just yesterday in Kongo I wonder why they even do Public Tests. I mean, bugs about fighter barrage were reported over, over and over. And they did absolutely nothing about it...

But don't worry, looks like they are finally fixing spotter planes (no longer attacking bombers...), it took them only couple of months to fix bug that was present on Test Server! So in couple more months we might see fix to fighter crapbarrage.
