The issue with CV's is there is no real skill based counter, if you are are being attacked by someone who knows how to play them, there really is nothing much you can do. For what it's worth (and this is from someone that basically doesn't play them) I think they are as balanced as you will get them and frankly the numbers are still unhealthily low, especially at higher tiers.

That would be no, although I love the idea and hope they will look at this again

I have my crew throw rocks at incoming planes, it works pretty well.....

My two bits of advice for a new player would be always keep in mind you are never as good as your last win, or as bad as your last loss and secondly if you die early in the game watch it for a bit, to the end pick up tips that way In terms of a premium ship its worth waiting a while see how you get on. When the time comes to buy something, I would strongly advise going for either a tier 5 or 6 below 5 is something of a zoo and you won't pick up a great deal playing there and tier 6 is a good balance you will get up tiered alot but nowhere near as much as tier 8 and facing top tier ships without much experience is extremely hard

trap is also having that issue

happened to me earlier on trap so I think its a server issue not connected to that specific map

Yes just had a game everyone kept running into invisible walls blocking firing, torps really sucked basically unplayable

long overdue and the first time I have been excited about a line this year!!!!!

I'm not going to jump on the CV rework bandwagon as it shifts from one extreme to the other or indeed perhaps it doesn't I would just respectfully suggest that sinking time and money into CV's right now is pretty ill-advised, my guess is that we are far from done that's not saying that I know what way it will go other than this rework won't be the last and I wouldn't put it past WG to totally change the play-style again. Its almost like Brexit.... the AA ships need aircraft in the game and IF (and perhaps AI aircraft is the answer) that's via the playerbase there has to be something in it for the people that play the carriers without making them impact the game way out of proportion, you nerf them into the ground and no one plays...... whole lines of ships lose their role in the game and the work done in putting the carriers in the game is wasted, honestly I don't know a way out

The assumption is always they would spend the whole game submerged if.... there time submerged is set as a consumable it would add an interesting layer of play(20knots on the surface is more than workable as a starting point).... when do you dive? when do you try to slip away? it would also give the DDs a burst of life which is badly needed

If you believe that you can balance a game based on 1% of any playerbase............ I have a bridge to sell you If you don't understand that 1% of any level of a group is still 1% then there is simply no hope for you

Personally I have no issue with filling out lines, building whole lines with paper ships is kind of silly(I'm sure Russian Carriers have only been delayed because of the CV rework) AND I believe that before we dip into the nations that are basically paper only we should complete the nations with at least some ships

Sorry, you are saying balance the game around 1% of the playerbase..............In what world is that "balancing"

I was going to say (and its a few years since I last played), if he isn't cussed out more in WOT he isn't playing it properly!

Personally its worth kind of ignoring chat, unless there is something useful and not just because of those players who are toxic but because we are a multilingual server and there is no way to know how many people on your team understand you. For myself I have over 8000 games played and have never been in a clan, just set yourself short term goals in a game to help your team and try to succeed if you do and have fun the abuse is irrelevant. As you allude to some tiers are harder than others and right now tier 8 isn't a great place to be especially while stock fighting against tier 10s and tier 8 premiums, keep plugging away, keep enjoying what you are doing, keep learning from your mistakes and always remember that you are not as good as your last victory or as bad as your last defeat
