Ok ok.. its fun. . now stop de-railing the topic gentlemen.. and please use english.

Thats true

hello, please do not necro old threads. They usually are not up to date with the game

And now they are nerfing her even more with this reticule change... It will be a sad day!

yeah but the skill gap haven't dropped eh :D

Skill floor dropped yes.. but the skill ceiling is getting higher because of the fundemental mechanics..

If you ask me.. It is kaga who needs a rework for her plane regeneration. Saipan is completely ok.. just requires a little attention and understanding, on the other hand kaga is like.. "here have some planes, and more planes.. hey you want planes? how about you get 12 of them.. again.. and again.. and again.." It is not like CV is the class which requires top nocth skill to play.. we shouldn't make it worst with something like kaga..

yes yes.. it is.. please buff the plane regen of saipan.. please..

eerm.. nope.. it is silver he was talking about

It is a very thin line for every CV related thread to turn into a general one. But the main idea behind this reticule changes are not for protecting DDs If you ask me.. That is a side effect... but we'll see how serious it is when it goes live. IMO this is just unification between CVs.. because appereantly "Which CV is it? what kind of rocket reticule does it have?" is a very hard question for some people to answer. it is like the radar ranges in the past...

Neah.. I really didn't like the German CVs.. in any CV I play, DDs are my main target.. thats why I love US CVs.. HE DBs.. I really didn't like the GZ at first.. but she surprised me a lot :) only 30 battles with her.. getting used to her play style now.. torps are really good.. But as for me, DDs must be the priority target for every CV.. Because they are the most important class for the team. any CV which cannot harm DDs in a consistent way, is not a CV that I would play.

Yeah, Saipan is my favorite CV. I can understand the change.. and can even except it.. TiTs are extremely effective against any other target.. and all the US CVs has being told, "You either go with HvARs to be effective against DDs and mediocre against rest.. or you pick TiTs to be effective against Others but not the DDs" saipan is being ripped from that choice. Because there is no choice.. at least give it Enterprise rockets..

Hello, Please use one of the following topics.

and If you can't see that this test is very well tweaked to show desired results.. then you need to go see an eye doctor.. PS: I don't like the change.. especially as a US CV lover.. but we should be objective.. The tester clearly tries to target frontal main batteries of Kremlin for lower hits with the new reticules. .. And I don't even know the point of this one..

I guess this change mostly effects the US CV line, and in lexy and midway may force people's hand for.. pick HvARS If you want to go after DDs, pick TiTs If you want to go after big ships.. I know It may be a little streching.. but I can live with that.. but appereantly this change will be shafting Saipan more than any other CV... Saipan only fires 6 rocket at a time.. usually a good hit means 3 or 4.. 5 is amazing.. 6 is a legend.. now with the vertical dispersion of TiTs.. you'd be quite lucky to hit 3.. even legendary..

really... after 4 years? come on.. even necromancers should have some standards :)

ok this topic has lived longer than it should have been I guess..

again, you didn't asnwer my question.. you may want new players to experiment things.. that is not the subject here.. let me ask more direct and clear again.. AA does not work, If the CV player knows what he is doing. Proven... by facts.. by data.. by game play... it is not something "unicums" claim to have advantage.. IT IS A FACT.. Why you refuse to believe it.. especially when you have no counter arguments....

easy solution play carriers all the time! :) ... Ok, I'll let myself out...

then you've read wrong.. I've written in black.. as a player.. not as a moderator.. so I'm just saying.. please answer this.. you don't have high level CB experience.. you claim CVs struggled at high level CB.. people, come here.. with extensive high level CB experience... says.. that is not true.. and you don't believe them... Just explain the logic behind this.. thats all I need to know.. Because, you refusing to accept crystal clear facts supported with enormous amounts of data, you ignoring things that you cannot answer, like they have never ever been said to you, and pick things that you believe you somehow can answer.. it feels like you are doing this on purpose.. and having fun.. I'm ok with that.. yeah but it is not ok to advocate misinformation.. almost anything you are saying about CVs and especially AA is Wrong.. it has been proven to you more than once.. proven with facts.. proven with data.. and you refuse to believe.. I just want to know WHY?

@Beastofwar I'm sorry mate, but at some point you have to start thinking, "may be some people know better than me" Almost all AA in this game is meaningless unless you blob up 3+ ships.. even though people can get a strike through that. and for skilled CV players.. no you cannot diminish the CVs effectiveness towards the end of the battle.. With saipan, in any kind of a match, in any tier... I don't remember the last time I was up in the air smaller than a -1 plane squadron.. and the last time I remember that I was ineffective.. that was because of my play.. no the enemy AA. You are getting angry when people attack your ideas, but you have to accept, We don't want new players read here and "believe" it is a good investment to give points and modules into an AA build.. It is just detrimenial for your ship and consequently for your team. watching a bad player going into a flak and losing half / all of their squadron does not mean the AA is strong but the player is bad instead.. or just made a mistake.. the point is.. even the strongest AA ship with the full AA build, does not have the power to diminish CVs power.. If the CV captain has enough knowledge and skill, he will have the same strike power for a full 20 mins.. and I'm sorry to say but how much you lose a strike capacity throughout a game is directly correlated with your ability...

Hello, usually "general CV related" "current CV situation" thingies goes to sticky topic. Some specific topics like this "AA spec" or "KM CV TBs." stays open for a while.. Until (IF) they turn into a general CV discussion.

You are right.. we should stop with de-railing.. sorry...

and piere luigi collina... don't forget that :)
