...when you're busy honking and taunting so much that you miss out on the double strike

Wtf is that new(?) 4 kill Kraken achievement? edit: Here's the reward

TST feedback: I still blame our CVs

1st pic: Zao didn't fire. 2nd pic: Zao fired! Gee...I wonder why she's suddenly spotted! I guess a replay would ultimately solve this x-file.

Let's throw more random information -that is 100% unrelated to the OP- at you

...wait, but your OP questions have been answered

Well, if he understood the helpful information that others already provided, he should be able to laugh with us (a little bit)...it's fine, tho - I was just genuinely amazed. Sorry @hogger4169, I hope you didn't lose the will to improve...who am I kidding, actually I don't care at all - have fun and enjoy.

I always wondered what was going on in the mind of a 4k matches EDIT.

Why don't you use the proper thread?

Actually they are hilariously fast - but tbh, if striking is all there is to do, then it'll become boring quickly, yes.

I always calculate the benefit/money ratio before buying any supposed boosters and compare it to alternatives...so, getting +100% fxp on a perma camo for xx€ will have to compete with 25 or 35 fxp per db. It depends on your personal performance, how efficient you are at stacking bonuses and farming in general. But often I find that WG is trying to rip us off big time.

Do you even math...

then you'd still have to play tons of games with that ship in order to break even (i.e. you could just have converted db > fxp).

Work, work, work (at least the last two daily missions were meh, so I didn't miss something) - BUT I got selected for the CV rework test, so hyped

#blacked Or you could farm free cpt xp on ships that actually gain a reliable shitload of it.

Well yes - but they pretty much will have hydro or spotter planes ^^

Tbf, most players manage to press that button. Most don't announce it or wait for their reload to finish, but pressing the button is well within the range of capabilities of the average player. Btw, a TON of ships actually have radars these days ^^

???

QFT - the human factor cannot be ignored. WG waited long enough for the player base to effectively mitigate CV's influence. Hoping that your AA cruiser is not completely useless and out of position sadly didn't work out. Hoping that your AA cruiser is actually AA specced also didn't work out. There's so many layers of random in that counter strategy. This probably also lead to ABSURDLY high AA values IF you actually decide to spec for AA. So that non AA specced ships still have a slight chance/flavor.

Yeh, almost never happens in randoms. Also, it'S not really fun to stick to the 80% of border surfers.

You assume that DDs are really that powerful, generally. A Lone CV can still devastate half the enemy team while kiting away, will rarely be caught off guard and can cap and strike on opposite ends of the map. A DD can do some of that under perfect conditions and will do this maybe once in 1000 matches. Yes - a DD can (and should) be a force multiplier (spotter) and herder (crowd control) like a CV but the CV can do this more consistently and can move around faster without becoming useless somewhere else. Plus there are way more counters to DD than to CV (in fact the CV is a DD's hardest counter - so it's basically the top dog regarding utility and power level). OF COURSE all of this is even more true if the only true counter of the CV is gone (the enemy CV). Same with DDs/BBs/Cruisers, but on another level imo.

I never said that I don't have a problem with CLASSES being too influential. I said that I doubt that PLAYER SKILL is the problem. If a class' power level is in line, then the individual skill of their players shouldn't be as much a problem as it's now. So yeah, player skill is a problem. But only because of the underlying problem which is the power level of CV.
