@MrConway good sir. Can we PLEASE get spawn locations and auto pilot looked at, it was horrendous in the last 4 v 4 clan brawl and sometimes not much better in randoms. Spawn side on to the side of an island... can't use auto pilot to even start to move.... have to dump my squad, go back to manual and spend time moving it myself.... who even thought that would be a good idea to spawn a CV there??

He tried to dodge. He tried to angle. He tried using smoke. He tried everything. Yet I still passed with 3 rocket strikes and even took his engine 3 times leaving him a sitting duck for the nearby cruisers to finish with ease. I used Furious btw, not great rockets by any means.

I grimaced watching that... Any other CV would have been streaks ahead and have had more influence. 75k dmg done by 13 mins in? Shokoku can do 77k in 6 mins flat... and have that damage stick better. Enterprise would have laughed in that MM. He was also on a team that just steam rolled the enemy. Different outcome if his team was being pushed and he was slingshotting to set fires....

As far as my understand if you slingshot into a group you will still lose the planes on the way out due to overlapping flank but I may be wrong. I rarely slingshot in any CV however. @El2aZeR can explain it better or correct me if I'm wrong.

It can slingshot. From about 7.5km. But you only slingshot solo ship really anyway so as most are in groups it's very rarely used.

Finally dragged my main EU account to 60% WR overall. Now, just to work on individual ships!

Yup. I had similar. Utterly RNG reliant.

Again, it’s only bad because it compares SO badly to the other T8 CV’s. If WG has made all CV’s from the start of the rework as powerful as Indomitable. This would be a completely different game. Where CV’s have some influence, do well with spotting and over a long game rack up damage. But WG set the bar too high with CV’s like Enterprise and well... we all know how well the overall rework has been revived.

2 forumnites in a row 😂

You did good work yourself buddy. Nailing that DD was needed

You can’t. Sadly is as simple as that. A good CV will hit you, no matter what. It’s just a case of pray to RNG it isn’t damaging... too much... on the 1st of many many runs.

We used a Russian wall on NA bar a Hak for CV. Glorious balance. 3 Kremlins, 4 Stalins, 3 Moskva (1 worcester swapped later on as no russian ships for them) and a Smolensk. We just broke teams apart. Destroyed Notsers team totally.

@MrConway the above idea actually sounds good. Can you please feedback how hard it is to get clans active. Especially when stuff like CB’s and Clan Brawls are in holiday times.

It’s the worst of the prem T8 CV’s. Need to really rely on RNG and hope you are not up against fire resistant ships.

NA is more active @ForlornSailor but only due to large clans due to smaller server. So most competitive players are all bunched in clans that can field teams. Not so good for EU as we have more clans but less members in them. Maybe we in EU need to adopt the same strategy. Mid size clans find like minded clans and buddy up.

40 games done. It's over. She will now remain a port queen. Yes I pulled some good numbers and results. (In division mostly coz A: it's more fun and B: only way it's effective) Not adaptable. Not versatile. RNG dependent. Damage is sometimes inconsequential. Still a bad CV when stacked up against her T8 counter parts. Average to bad players will struggle in this ship. Good to great players will do ok/well, but will always feel they could have done better in other T8 CV's.

Those stats take into account all the super testers and pre-nerfed Indomitable. Have a look at the top few indomitable player, how many indomitable games have been played on release and what the overall stats of that player are.

Kaga and lex were the 1st CV's I had when learning the rework. Take into account my skill progression. Implacable perform better overall. Better damage and better ways of causing more damage. Same for Lexington also, it can rotate different reliable strike option. Saipan is also better bar WR. WR isn't the only factor if a ship is good or not. Indomitable cannot compete in versatility or adaptability compared to all the other T8's CV's. I don't know how much clearer I can make that point.

My learning curve was a few games... before hitting unicum WR. My CV stats Improved.... awkward... Errrrmmmm. I'm not the one who hid my account from scrutiny... awkward.

Read what I put in full. It's bad, because it's SO much weaker than it's counter parts. And take into account I'm playing this CV as a super Unicum CV player.

I asked you to present evidence if you were going to come in and derail this thread. Go get some or do one.

I got it for the De Havilland Hornets if I'm honest.

No. Measly damage compared to the big hitters of it's tier.

It’s rockets aren’t that good.

That includes all the test games when it was stronger.
