No matter what feature WOW put into game, please give DD and other non- CV players a "fighter support consumable", think that would add balance in CV centric games.
Let the cv player enjoy his / her game - though when you get focused when playing a DD... it's the worse thing in the game.
You feel alone and unsupported... it's a TEAM game - so add the feature.
I play for my team - whether clan co-op or random - that's how I've played games for 20+ years...
So if you have a team game, reward the players for it, give them bonus or something like a point for teamwork - you work as devs to build a game - not disjoined or individual people coding - it's a team effort - surely that is something you can relate to?
Re a fighter support consumable - only needs to be active in CV combat, give it a limited number of reloads or boost to aa / or auto deploy a fighter from a friendly cv without micro managing their gameplay, what I'm asking is to give someone in a DD a fighting chance... so they'll enjoy the game play experience, cos at the moment it sucks plain and simply... very poor.
Let the CV have a allocation of fighers - that be auto deployed to a friendly ship in need, maybe on a calculated variable / ie. only so many at a time / not full squadron of fighters - but a Air denfense cap support team for the DD, nothing too hard to code or provide.
