It's not that easy moving places in a hosho, especially when your team insult you for asking for help, and they wont come back to defend you. I was not that far from them, but due to the speed of the hosho i could not get to them in time sadly and accepted that i had made a grave mistake trying to defend the other side of the map my team had failed to protect. I accept, i probably should have followed my team, but i was the only one sending planes over to that side of the map spotting ships, our BB's did manage to land some good shots but the DD was very sneaky indeed, really liked his technique, but i am to blame for the error of not following my team that eventually lost battle.

If they nerf carriers, other classes will need nerfing also, so they represent a segment of realism, they cant nerf one and leave the others to dominate. I say if carriers do get nerfed battleships and cruisers are next in line. Sadly, as many know, once you fiddle with balance it becomes harder to get an even ground. Right now even though theirs problems, what needs to be done could prevent further problems, like removing 2v1 carrier battles, reducing fires, tweaking other small things etc.

He sunk me quite fast though, our team had failed to secure a part of the map and he used that to come around and catch me with my pants down fair game to that player. It was frustrating and i was a little peeved off with my team because none of them would help but i managed to eventually congratulate that player and i moved on to another game instead of coming to the forums .

I have actually wasted a lot of torpedoes due to trying to launch too close, a mistake that was quickly learned. I would love to be able to actually choose arming times, say close ones do much less damage, mediums do slightly more, and long ones do bigger damages. I'm all for that, i think something like that should be done personally just an opinion of course not a suggestion of sorts .

The proposal of such a mode is very interesting. It would definitely please all of those that do not like the arcade characteristics of ships in random arcade mode. I think a lot of players that whine about CV's actually would prefer such a mode, where everything is based off a sorts of realism and tiny fragments of arcade elements. What i have seen for the last 3 days in the general section of the forums is whines, mostly about the gameplay of aircraft carriers. Realism mode would eliminate those whines pretty much, because in that mode you can bet your backside other classes will just be as hard to play as the carriers.

"Soon", TM. Mate seriously, you should play pokemon on the gameboy you would love it!. Gotta catch them all, POKEMON!!. .

Same here tug . If CV's get boned im going back to pwning in my Yubari & Greg & Sims .

The whole point of evading is not to take all the hits, but try and take the least amount by using the right technique. It can be done, the problem is that it requires a high skill curve, not many people can continue to maintain this with a good skill threshold. Most players who play CV's are veterans of the game, the battleship seems to be the most popular, theirs bound to be a higher whine ratio to be fair due to the amount of people that play battleships. When i got sunk by a DD in my carrier i congratulated him, i never came to the forums whining that DD's are OP and need nerfing.

Some of it is funny but for the last few days theirs been nothing but whines about how carriers are OP. I have played many games in my carriers, i have some great games and some bad just like any other ship, but because carriers launch torpedoes from planes people do not like that, especially when they get hit. Most people who whine i can gurantee a lot of them are new to the game, or they do not know how to evade properly yet, or fail to move off the cap within 90 seconds or so etc. The problem we have is that wargaming, in all due respects have bent to whines in the past for world of tanks and if they do indeed nerf carriers and buff lower tier games with AA theirs no real point of playing carriers anymore in those games, i would just rather play my Yubari in that case!.

It's all down to balance. Carriers are very hard to balance. At the moment the only issues are 2v1 carrier battles, increased amount of fires and crits, some ships are clearly OP, some carriers on the US side have OP attack planes.

Nonsense. 2v1 carrier games need a removal, US attacker groups need to be nerfed a little, fires need to be reduced for all classes mostly. Theirs absolutely no need to nerf carriers at all, apart from the things i said above.

And when CV's get nerfs, next will be cruisers .

I'm actually surprised theirs no nerfs for CV's considering all the whines on the forums .

I agree with the OP what he said mostly. Some threads did exist about DD's, until the OBT started and the whines have been constant sadly so they are buried now.

It's clear everything is not ok, theirs lots of balance issues with carriers. 2V1 scenario's, US attackers shredding jap planes in a matter of seconds. Theirs also lots of other issues at hand likes fires, crits and what not.

Nonsense. A good BB player can take a few hits and evade the rest proven in my very first post, even at other angles you can reduce how many you take.

Did you see the 12 torpedo hits i had on the screen ?. Also that battleship evaded a lot torpedoes throughout that game that is why i congratulated him its rare to see someone actually evading properly and using solid evading techniques as he did. Also regarding improper use of torpedoes, . I know exactly how to launch torpedoes, the BB was close to us, we also had other issues during that match so we launched our torpedoes at him lined up and all and just at the last minute he turned properly and took 2 hits and evaded the other 90% incredible if you ask me, and he almost won that match for his team..., that is the exact type of BB player that i wish others would follow, one that uses actual evading techniques and knows that taking a few hits is better than taking almost all of them!.

Of course, did you not see the other 12 hits i had ? .

Someone got sunk. But no in all seriousness, the St Louis at the moment is taking advantage from the insane amount of fires in the game. It also can shred battleships down to low health quite easily due to the amount of fires it can cause in a very short space of time. Many call it the machine gun of ships. Something does need to be and the fires need to be reduced that is for certain.

The BB player on that picture survived almost the entire match, he evaded a lot of torpedoes. He has half of his HP missing because he was engaging a cruiser at the time and he got hit from our friendly carrier but he still managed to evade properly. No matter what i say the coin always has two sides captains. I feel the pain at the moment when 2 v 1 matches happen with carriers though. Battleships are very very frustrating to play when you have two enemy carriers after your guts, while your friendly carrier barely has any chance to react properly!. The match maker needs a tweak its quite clear, the 2v1 matches have to go im standing firm on that stance and wont give it up.

I once enjoyed a peaceful, respectful, down to earth community who showed content and love for balance. A community that actually reported balance issues with respect, and devotion to the cause. Now all we have is whines everywhere, most of them are about CV's sadly. What i once saw a forum especially in the alpha so peaceful and behaved has now sadly gone forever. Who ever was in the alpha test let me say, it was an honour testing with you.

Do you expect carriers to never hit ?. Also AA in those tiers buffed would cause even more balance issues. Tiers 4 & 5 will not get buffed AA, if they did what is the point of progressing up the tiers if you can just sit in lower tiers with good AA ?.

Average CV player here who sometimes bags a rare match. Lets face it, this guy on this screen evaded 90+% of my torps!. I congratulated him for this evade well played and a proper BB player!!!. Not just did he know how to evade, he had actually used his human brain and saw my torpedo bombers coming and he started manoeuvring instantly, this allowed him to take just one hit!, and evade the other 90+% of my torps. The facts are right their in that screenshot.

Exactly, 100% this. Match making is the culprit here but some CV's need balancing. The US carriers dominate the lower tiers and can shoot down japanese planes so laughably easy its ridiculous. Tier 4 & 5 will not have more AA, and their certainly wont add more AA bound ships because then carriers would be absolutely worthless!.

DD's rule the battlefield ... He has obviously not played the same game as everyone else .
