Bogue on a 0 1 2 set up is stonk.... in 2 games yesterday i had done 230k damage and 7 kills. But you need to learn manual drop skills ( practice on bots in co op at first to give you a idea, plus you will get less flak from players that dont under stand that every body cant be a pro when they start playing a cv lol ) Also remember your ship can move and if its moving its easyer to avoid attacks from the enemy cv. BUT remeber to keep a eye on the map so you dont sail in to a sticky position on the map lol. Get skills in avoiding torps as when your running with no fighters you will need it. If being attacked by bombers make sure you set your aa on targets.

Best advice is go to youtube lots of great cv players there showing theres skills .... just watch what they do and adopt what works

WoWS is not as big as WoT and at that time of night on a sunday is going to be quite empty. (plus i find with WoT at this time of night lots of bot players so things are not all ways as rosey there.)

Too many players want to be able to set direction speed and zoom in and fire.... all the rest is to much to mutli task or worry about..... beep beep beep darn torps i try get out there way boom darn to late..... if you change torps to nerf them then you will kill a lot of classes in the game and it turns in to a Battleship game ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz at the moment if you got the skills you will avoid a lot of the torps sent at you. but it should not be easy... that be like nerfing the aim of ship guns to a point that you be missing quite a few salvos. Mini Map (mini map) yes mini map look at it as much as you can.... take note of spotted ships that can use torps and learn them ships stats for range speed of torps ect... also look for planes on the mini map... if they are heading your way start putting your self in a good position to avoid set AA if you can and keep your eyes on them more and more as they get closer and if it look like your the target get that ship turning away or in to the planes, the more he has to change the direction of his planes and this means the more your AA can work on them. also if planes fly over you but not drop and look like they are going for anouther target, dont take your eyes off them he may change his mind if he feels like your given uo avoiding due to they are after anouther target. (mini map, mini map) just thought i put that in a few more times. also if you know your spotted (if you put points in that skill and yes its worth it) but you cant see any enemy ships close chances are its a DD spotting you so change speed and direction now and again and be ready to react to torps. I know its hard keeping a lead on a target and leaving zoom mode does not help this but its worth it wile waiting on a reload just to have a look about and take things in thats happing around you.... helps avoid DD and Torp planes as well as seeing if anouther target would be better of your attention or that you can help out a friendly ship out. Well any ways thats what i try and do in my games... i am no pro but i like to think i avoid more than i take

only 2 games it was harsh but the others it was good.... But you cant have it all your way all the time no!

LOL OP LOL

Hate seeing the games that you won easy lost due to players just sailing to there deaths.

Its not = to a tier 10 and most tier 9s can handle it... player behind the ship an also make a big difference. Took on a fletcher in my benson, the fletcher player could not hit a side of a barn with a beach ball. So was easy to handle him.... and the fletcher way out shines the benson.

Funny thing is i not seen "team killers" in quite a long time! I am not counting poor judgement on torp kills though and even then only seen maybe 2 in quite a wile. Are you lot attracting all the pinkys lol Only thing that i don't like seeing is players with full cap names... rule of thumb if they got a name with all the letters in caps chances are they be the first to die or will contribute very little to the game.... waiting on the first game i see a all cap letter player team killing though lol

Why did you not get it when it was on sale?

Was in a game last night took the enemy cv soo long to snipe me that i had done tones of damage to many enemy ships. And my BB not did not have to worry about being attacked by the cv that we rolled over the enemy team no problem lol.

Been trying to avoid this topic..... but cant any longer... but will only just say: When dont they need a overhaul, as some one will all ways find fault in some way about them.

Russia and using Dogs as weapons if i remember correct did not go to well..... Note to one self when teaching dogs to run under tanks with explosives on... train them on Enemy looking tanks and not your own :p

its not kill steal they just failed to kill secure!

lost all my turrets on my Ognevoi at start of a game getting a cap.... 4km torps just dont cut it as a prime weapon LOL

For me i tend to look at 3 stats WR, Damage, kills and if i am having bad games watch a few of my replays to see whats going wrong. Or as i have done and asked on these forums. Got some great tips even for a vet like me :p

Well i sat down and had a look on the warships today web page and the WG page and for some reason tier8 is not going well.... I say that but I am loving the Benson but average game play stats shows i am falling short in it and all my other tier VIII. My tier VII stats very good but for some reason suffering a little at the next tier :/ what am i doing wrong? (btw before players complain about not caring about stats thats all well and good... but i use stats to see how well i am doing in ships and hopfuly fig out what i am doing wrong) I think in my CV its because i am playing to safe and running 3 fighters... might be best going balanced and going for some quick good kills at the start and not try and play the survive all game strat!. My Mogami not fully upgraded, only range is maybe this is the issue!! not sure on that one Dirpitz well i am not really a good BB players so ummm really need get more games in and get a grip with them. Lo Yang also having trouble getting wins out of it not played it much as its very like the benson and i am grinding the benson so put more time that way. Getting to the point getting a little frustrated with my tier 8 games as no matter how well or bad i play having problems securing the wins

its hard to keep the US fighters from dominating the map... and this forces IJN CV to go for more fighters.

Now this is where things get a little backwards playing the shokaku first 2 games my team let say was not the sharpest tools in the box. So had to try hard... did quite a bit of damage but both games a loss... 3ed game my team are a sledge hammer and the enemy are putty. I spent most of the game chasing and trying to get damage in before the said target died... so my win i did not even have to be there my team was soo on the ball. Yet the loss games i needed the team to be there :/ MM is soo wonky. Tier 8 there soo much that can go against you... stonk higher tiers... tier 8 prem but i have not got a clue players. Then rng and mm in there. Its just such a mine field

sorry lol... its just the words play for fun take me back to my WoT days and bad players saying it like playing like a idiot does not matter as long as your having fun doing it :/ But next time im on will cheak the channel out.

play4fun now what do you see playing for fun? Myself is doing the best i can for me and the team.... but i find a lot of players use the "I play for fun" as an excuse for bad play! Any ways if my team is not winning i feel i not done my best and then not having fun sorry thats just the way i am.

As i have her set up so i can harass BB and CA from a distance and not be spot i tend to be 10.4k or more away from my prey... lobbing loads of shells at them. If you look at my torp % at 3% i tend to use them more as a i know the DD is some where in said direction and blind fire them. Edit: on the cruisers side of things yesturday played my tier 6 German CA and we won and picked up a kraken badge to boot. I have poo loads of free xp 140k available to spend muhahahha might free xp my tier 8 to fully upgraded and see if that makes a big difference for me. Need to do a lot more trials with my cv running 2 2 2 as looking at my othere cv stats they use to run at least that... i only swapped to 3 1 2 when the cv nerfed the first time happened. And with the Dirpitz like i said need to get some BB games in more.

missed this bit yes pls if you dont mind... will load some up tomorrow and link the replays to you.

DD v DD unless i am vs tier 10 and some 9s i have no problems i can avoid torps and most gun fire... but i find most of my teams lacking in support... finding that most games (maybe just bad luck a lot for me) that the enemy CV will put a lot of effort start game to spot at caps for his DD giving them a big advantage. ) i try back up other DD and also help with BB battles... few fires on the enemy BB can helps tons.. also using the Benson ability to protect caps with long range fire is great. but not sure if i am doing some thing wrong as soo many players dieing or screaming for me to cap a cap that cant be capped by me ( 1 or 2 CA in there :/ ) you look at my Benson survive rate its high but in the end finding i am having to do to many things for the team bahhh maybe its just a load of bad luck on teams.... any good youtube vids for the benson? Edit BTW thanks for all the tips guys great to see the forums being helpful

you may be right as when in tier 9 10 games i find i have to hang back more... in the DDs a must as the tier 10 DDs just rip though you :/ so a lot of my dmg is from long range out of sight fire in the benson ( no is this costing games due to less dmg or less vision ummmm trouble is Benson gets seen quite easy by the RJN DDs and you find your self as a DD pinata lol CV well its a given by tier 9 and 10 they norm have the exstra plane skill funny anouth before this post played my Shokaku as a 2 2 2 (cost me a mil creds to think i had this load up before WGing played about with load outs so in a way paid for it twice lol ) got a 6 7 8 game in it was a easy win with lots of damage cross torp drops yum yum.
