I sometimes can't activate the boost from the start of the game, with full boost ready and no boostcom used - or any other time in the game. Just pressing "w" again solves it. Compared to other nuisances, this one isn't even that irritating tbh.

Sure. Cause CV players don't want to lose planes because of their credit cost. It is known.

Please don't attack false information with even more false information, which is a disease of our time. The sample size was 12, which, if the "researcher" hadn't been fundamentally compromised, would have been sufficient to make his point. from http://briandeer.com/mmr/lancet-paper.htm: "Methods 12 children (mean age 6 years [range 3-10], 11 boys) were referred to a paediatric gastroenterology unit [...] "

You mean, sometimes you press "w" and the boost just doesn't activate? Yea I have that too, but I wasn't sure if it was a bug since my system isn't exactly typical and I hadn't anyone else point it out. I have it with every CV once in a while. There's still plenty of bugs to go around...

Unless they are a professional... I mean, look at this comment: It is frigging genius.

@Beastofwar, I'm genuinely not being cynical here, but you have my admiration for being the most succesful troll of 2019, and it's only spring...

You should be happy. I don't know what kind of joker thought it was funny to spread a braineating virus for april fools, but it is very noticeable. O my lord, what is going on yesterday & today??

More static play, as these "cruisers" make the playing field for real cruisers ever more lethal. Also, as I said before, people should be more worried that this focus on tier nine premiums, can be understood as WG implicitly giving up on the playability of tier 8.

Serious doubts. I see to many BBs getting unpunished by immediate damagecon. In general, if they get "punished" by any follow up to begin with, it's just a single fire afterwards. If damageconning single fires would really, reliably lead to fundamental hurt for said BB, then even our glorious playerbase would have stopped doing it. Quod non.

in aslains mod, it's called realm tool or smt like that (www.aslain.com) Alternatively, you can just change the fourth line in your preferences.xml file, where it says smt like <currentrealm> ... </currentrealm> where it is "eu" now (I guess), change it to "na", or whatever I'm guessing this is the only thing the realm tool does anyway (can't give exact names atm, not on main computer)

No it's not a bug. WG explained at the beginning that bombs would be subject to specific physics, so people started experimenting with it, and what you see in the vid is the result. The feature (which is what it is) has been known for a while, but only now is getting more & more publicly known, so the outrage has WG suddenly declare it as a bug.

Err this is the thing I talked to you about a few days ago? Been happening since the beginning and I am truly amazed you never had it before. It doesn't occur that often luckily (I think I had it like 5 times in total) but if you have it right before dropping f.e. a montana you'll planes will die and all you can do is watch it happen :|

Err no. Given that the discussion was about 2x2 cv, I'm mainly asking as why those CVs don't get split over 2 games, as there are apparantly enough carrier-free games to fill them with. So. There's 4 carriers in queue, among which me. Why the hell would I have to have bigger chance to go into double CV game instead of splitting those up? I know WGs ultimate answer to all those kind of question is always "mm problems/queueing problems" (backed up with sekrit statistics we are not allowed to see) but I have, no offense, never believed any of that.

Well that was my original question. Are CVs hardcoded or something to be left out of about half of all games? Or why would I be excluded as you said it?

Err, that piece I quoted? " You will of course more often meet two CVs when playing a CV yourself, "

he was talking about "double-carrier-free"

I have difficulties understanding this? Are you implying that at the moment the matchmaker is manuallly set to have X amount of games carrier-free?

See t8 carrier game on yt. Click 30 seconds in to see matchmaking. Top tier. Close window. Every goddamn time.

Yes I know. And in the rework I can drop a lone des moines and don't lose too much bombs, but he'll live and be able to repair a lot. In the olden days midway had the magical power of leftclick and that DM would have gone poof. Both systems had/have deep, deep flaws. (not saying that makes everything ok, just that at a certain point I don't really care anymore about WGs design philosophies) And as @Capra76 suggested, you could make it available for anyone here. T8 cv in T10 game is something people would be willing to see imho.

ignore That's exactly how WG designed them too - the reworked CVs are damage farmers. If you waste time sending off your squad to whatever location to drop a fighter there, you already wasted time in the damage race. It's not that strictly incompatible of course - you can drop a fighter while being on your way to your intended target. (Even without doing damage: Recently I went torps first with midway (more for lolz) - when I crossed paths with the red squad in the middle of the map, he started chasing me the entire time, obviously to try to co*klblock me with a fighter, so I just dropped everything but one drop in the water, suicided the last one on whatever ship was suitable. In the end I had their entire team spotted, did some measly damage, got some ships damaged cause spotting and wasted his time, not to mention 3/4 of their team turning away towards border cause panique of being spotted and irrational fear of midway torps; most importantly my team hadn't been spotted the entire time, and I had now a very good idea of red CV. Rest was stomp.) In general I only drop fighters over DDs that are contesting and that I suspect might be a viable target, and that's only if I notice enemy CV has a clue of what he's doing. Mostly I try to keep my fighters for when dropping DDs.

Oh my. Fell to place 8, did we?... Goddamn pleb, always playing for the win instead of farming damage But congrats on finally getting number one on WR though. Told you that former number one guy just needed to play some more to drop.

yea, send it to me too

Yea cause there is a multitude of pleb cv players that seem do nothing all game but spam their stupid fighters. More of an annoyance than a real problem, but with 4 cv it gets tedious fast. And I voted no. Absolutely not fun, and I dare to think that's the same for the surface fleet players :D

I tend to keep a healthy distance from the drama around cv rework these days, but please... While a lex might be able to get a strike off in that circumstance, it will lose all his planes, immediately. Worthwile trade for a few K damage... But sure, you keep phrasing it as "without any problem".

+1 WG - stop touching the miniscule parts of your UI that are decent and functional - there's more pressing needs in that regard Cheers
