So the whiners were loud enough Anyway, some cheering words: I think the rework is very fun and I am looking forward to see how the tweaking goes

Moinsen, dann mache ich hier gerade mal eine schnellen Poll auf! Es haben sich mehrere geschätzte Kollegen nun für den Split 3:3 zwischen Walküre CVLs und Seydlitz ausgesprochen. Bitte voted auf diesen Post mit like/dislike zu diesem 50:50 Split. Falls dieser keine Mehrheit bekommt gibt es einen neuen Poll mit mehreren Optionen :-) Diese Abstimmung läuft bis Mittwoch 06.02.2019 / 14:00 Happy voting !

She went down a bit - let’s see where she takes us

Grundsätzlich auch sinnvoll da man den Flugweg nicht mehr kontrollieren kann und die Staffeln sonst wie Affen abgeschossen werden würden. Man kann natürlich überlegen, ob das Starten der gleichen Staffel mit einer Zeitstrafe belegt werden sollte. Aber das könnte man ja testen

I like the new carrier gameplay

Russian-bias jokes never get old (oh wait you are serious aren’t you )

The gun bloom will be reintroduced. WG said that already. Which is fair. The RTS is the exact opposite of how real CVs worked. There was literally ZERO micromanaging about CV battles. I suggest you read about the Battle of Midway as a good example of what a CV commander could do in such a battle. EDIT: and yes I am also around since 2015 dude. And I am also not happy with all design choices - I straight up HATE several. But in this case I am all for the rework. I want CVs to be part of this game and I want them to be fun

Ok then I suggest you change the thread title

Well it’s good against blind monkeys and arguably worse than before against decent players. But I have the feeling AA will change again soon so I hold my fire for a proper opinion

To be seen once the Carriers have settled So far - yes pretty much

I am not against adjustments. That is what needs to happen. My concern is simply that the panic has a negative impact on the result and would wish for a controlled and civil adjustment phase

@Aragathor you know I highly respect your opinion. But in this case the drama blows things out of proportion. Yes the thingy needs to be tweaked. But seriously - if you look at these comments here - where the hell are we? How is that a grown up discussion?

It means out of sequence and deployed asap. I get they don’t want to wait a full three week cycle even it wouldn’t really be a problem. I just hope they don’t rush now into something to make things worse just to somehow react to this pussy-drama

Because he is trying to put out a signal “we are on it - it is urgent - and we fix it the way you want”. Nothing to do with a “hotfix” though. Simply WG being pushed by an immature pack of screaming kids.

“Hotfix” is overly dramatic. They simply feel rushed because you kids keep whining like pussies in the rain. Great - hope this rush doesn’t have a negative impact on the quality.

If you indeed care about the game - and I am actually the same - then try to improve it by giving helpful advice rather than this emotional drama blabla. WG will need some constructive feedback to do the work on the rework.

Well. It’s fair to disagree and it is ok to be frustrated. However it is not ok to ask for people getting fired. And if you like the game - why would you be here if you wouldn’t - you could also take a deep breath and give constructive feedback to tweak this. I believe it doesn’t take much to make this actually pretty decent

Well if you compare programming with fixing cars I see why you are disappointed. This would be a very mechanical way to look at it and won’t help a lot unfortunately. Try to think of it being like gardening instead.

“Silent Death from the Deep - why BBs are not played anymore”

It’s the same as in the game. CVs strike ships. What you wanted to say - there were few occasions where surface ships got into range to engage CVs in return. Which is true - however it happened. Nevertheless I am sure you understand that distances are altered to make things more dynamic. Hence why ships can directly engage CVs much more than in real life

I have a better suggestion: ban these drama queens who demand ppl to lose their jobs just because something is not to their liking

Well not only that. Also you can’t really influence the return path of the plane unless you control them till home. Hence why their vulnerability is greatly reduced. F-Escape is a very useful function. I guess the question is more how quickly can you spawn the next wave?

Carriers are by no means “misplaced”! They have their prominent spot in this game as the most dangerous ships of that era. Period. Btw. if you are one of these “don’t touch my surface ships”-guys - just wait until subs arrive

Good write up and not drama queen :-) I am sure WG will look at AA and plane respawn + F-escape carefully. I am also with the game since 3 years and like this refreshment the rework brings but I appreciate that there are different opinions. I think a lot of people got used to having no CVs in the matches mostly and indeed need to get used to this now. However I do like the additional dimension CVs bring into the match and I am fairly confident that plane respawn times, use and misuse of the F-escape and AA can be brought into a nice balance. And while games seem more cautious at the moment it is also due to people figuring out a new meta (this time including rather than ignoring CVs) I feel that CVs enrich the game.

Didn’t say it should be impossible to wipe out an attacking wing. Apologies if that came across wrong. And I see you’re point on manual AA guns. I liked these in Battlestations and as long as the AI Flak works like it does already and manual control would be “just” a shift in the players focus I still think it could work. However we probably agree that AA needs some more work to do
