Yep didn’t bother to take DE as the torp bombers are the more fun part. Especially against all the T10s you fight anyway

I did give her a dedicated captain but I don’t see that it’s really need tbh. She has HE bombers but that’s it?

Ok fair enough. Now we have a reasonable chat on the actual thing. Agree that AA needs much more work and your suggestion sounds reasonable. I would actually prefer much more player control on AA to create a true PvP situation in strikes rather than PvAI

Agree that spotting from air could be slightly reduced. However that is easily done if needed.

Glad to see some veterans kept their sanity among all those drama queens +1

- says “CVs were the most relevant ship class in the depicted era” - says “CVs shouldn’t be in game” eeeerrr.... sure thing dude

Well... nothing compared to these days. With all the fuzz they keep crawling out of their foxholes now. DD mafia hating rockets and spotting, BBs hating torps and bombs, cruisers hating planes dodging their puff puffs. Tough times I don’t think I even have enough chill pills to supply them all

....aaaaaand another pointless whine thread. Bye

“Year of the CV haters”

Well others do reasonable damage. Not saying I do (yet) but I am sure that you will be with some practice

RE: mouse Control - it is pretty useful. WASD is for the big manoeuvring (ailerons) where as mouse (rudder) is great for aiming and dodging as it throws off the enemy AA aim.

Dudes and Dudettes, can you please stop spamming CV-whine threads...?! Of course CVs CAN be balanced in such game! In a Million differente ways even

I think he is putting into a lot of text two current problems: 1) the defender can’t really apply much skill against the attacking CV as AA guns are A.I. controlled and 2) all problems existed before but due to the extremely few CVs were no biggy. Genius. And easy to fix: give players more AA gun control and do some number tweaking. Voila

Actually I work in a big organization and I am more than familiar with plans, deadlines and pressure. It’s exactly what I do every day - almost my DNA. Just in case you work in a similar environment you know that deadlines are not pulled out of thin air but that they always serve a purpose. In this very case - There was no single reason I can see why it had to be 0.8.0 - any other release would have been equally fine.

Yes sure. But in this context it doesn’t make much sense. There was no hard go-live date to be kept it was all open

Ich nehme es einfach mit in den Poll und dann kann die Mehrheit entscheiden :-) Sehe es aber genauso - einen „Ösi“ haben wir ja schon mal Zum Anteil: klar ist 3:3 naheliegend zumal wir auch 3 ursprüngliche Panzerschiffe und 3 Schlachtkreuzer haben. Allerdings könnte ich mich auch für 4 x Walküre CVLs begeistern (dann blieben halt aber leider nur 3 x Seydlitz) Je nachdem was wir nützlicher finden

Soweit ich weiß bestand nur bei „Seydlitz“ Konsens? Für die Ösis haben wir ja nun Prinz Eugen, die weiteren Einheiten der Seydlitz-Klasse können wir eigentlich recht frei benennnen. Ich kann dazu gern später wieder einen Poll machen aber erstmal sollten wir klären, wie wir die 6 Einheiten aufteilen! Also wie viele wir als CVL „Walküre-Klasse“ bauen gegenüber wieviele nach der Panzerschiffe-Variante. Gibt es da Meinungen?

Well that’s obviously always an option. I for one like the game and will not do the same

Und wenn schon. Dass noch etwas gebalanced wird war ja abzusehen. In alle Richtungen. So einen Riesen-Change haust du nichtmal so zwischen Zwölf und Mittag raus und schon gar nicht 100% finegetuned. So genau kann das halt niemand voraussagen. Und dann isses halt auch „nur“ NA

What kind of statement is that? Do you even think for a second before you come here? Why would “some manager” decide to launch this for “financial” reasons? What financial benefit does WG get of they release it? What do they lose if they release something that isn’t ready? It’s not like they didn’t test it. You said it yourself - there were plenty of testing rounds. But a change of this magnitude can’t be just tested with some STs hence they expanded that. And guess what - even that doesn’t fully cover it. The three rounds of public testing were a very good idea. How it really works out at the end you will only see in production. And here we are. Will the next weeks be bumpy? Yes. Will everyone like to be part of this? Probably not. Is there another way? No. Not for a change of this scale. I if you like the game and want to support it - then you can right now. By playing and giving (constructive) feedback this can be done. By just just laying back and screaming “see?! I told you!” - nothing is won but a lot is lost

I used to have my König Captain on her with manual AA. After the rework I am not a big fan of that skill anymore so I took one of the Jutland brothers to raise a new one for her. So far he is pretty standard with Preventive Maintenance, Expert Marksman, Adrenaline Rush, Vigilance (for the bonus of this captain - that is actually an experiment) and AFT. Nothing fancy, could do either BoS, BFT or Fire Prevention next. Probably BFT. Btw.: yep indeed from Germany

Good to see that some guys kept their sanity +1

Well ... I gave it a try because I like planes but honestly I find the competing product much better. But that’s just my preference
