MrFingers BBs are meant to take punishment, DDs are not, every weapon has its purpose I'm pretty sure that fighters are well balanced as it is, with every upgrade the loadout get smaller and smaller..

I'm pretty sure a fighter can cause damage to lightly armored ships. In this case DDs and CAs. Skip to 3:48

Banned for banning people, because of a signature.

Someone is forgeting that BBs have crapton more secondaries than any other class.

Today I desided to play defensive role and went fighter heavy on my Ranger. What i noticed is that no matter how good i play 50-60-70 planes shot down, the reward is nowhere near the average setup. So why not increase the reward of downed planes by about 30-40% to incentevise better teamplay: - Making CAs work with BBs and keep them more actively covered - Make CVs fighter role as good as the average fighter/torpedo role 10 torpedo hits and the extra damage that bombers and fighters do, got me better reward than 70 planes shot down and 0 kills for the enemy CVs I think defensive roles should be as profitable as attack roles. Do share your opinions.

The arm time on TBs is fine as it is(but i am biased so theres that). The damage could be lowered by a bit. I think tier 4 is where people will have to learn to dodge TBs and where CVs need to learn to play in somewhat safer game. Whatever AA exists up to tier 4 should have a substantial increase in power if not in quantity, planes should not be able to run circles around ships.

There were heavy fighters equiped with cannons and they surely damage a DD and even CAs. Any dev response would be appreciated.

There are already few tutorials on how to deal with TBs, but you must actualy read those, something that whiners can't do. The problem with MM is due to the lack of people and it will be fixed once the game goes into OBT.

Very rarely I see someone peel off to defend me and often that gets me killed. the only thing you can do is keep close to your team and hope they can react fast enough to kill your attacker.

FvF - Spitfire vs a Biplane who would win? Increase in power does need to scale better, that is true. TBs - Jingles gave a good explenation: Torpedoes had to be lighter to be mounted on planes, hence weaker than DDs DBs - pyromania?

You can use them to "secure a kill" on low health ships that just used their DC crew.

Here you should move with the ships and use them as defence or arty up and hug a corner.

What OP is saying is kinda true. I was also in my Saipan when i got matched with 2 Independence and i had the 2 Fighters 1 Dive bomber deck. To put it simply, no torpedoes were dropped in the water. Saipan's upgraded fighters are ALOT better than Independence, also take in account upgrades and if there are any friendly/enemy ships with AA.

It's not bad, because you can directly affect your survivability by talking the apropriate action depending on the situation. I've been 1 shot by CVs and DDs only because I didn't pay attention and I got no one to blame, but me. When both of my torpedo squadrons miss the target after a manual launch, I can't blame RNG. People come with the expectation that this will play out like WoT, truth is this game has very few similarities to WoT.

Alot of people think that soloing is an option, well IT's NOT. Pay attention to your surroundings. You need to control the situation and the way you want to react to the attack. If you don't want to die to CVs, team up with CAs, simple as that.

My best game was in a Saipen alone against 2 Independence CV. I had just upgraded my fighters and at tier 6 there is decent amount of AA, so I lured figthers in my territory and wrecked them, wasted the bombers with ease. Ended up with 44 planes shot down and 0 friendly ships sunk by the 2 CVs. The sky was mine and i felt like a GOD. So, my tip is: always try and set the terms of a fight, if you can't use friendly AA, don't fight if you don't have the numbers on your side.

What I noticed as a CV captain is that up to tier 5 AA in non existent, yet the Langley, a tier 4 CV get's matched with tier 3's. I would like to suggest that AA be buffed up, so it would gradualy increase with the tiers. Right now you go with tier 4-5 without noticing it, but once you get into tier 6 games half of your planes are down before you notice it. This would ease CV captains into higher tiers and it would balance out CVs at lower tiers, where at the moment AA doesn't exist to be a factor.

I have to disagree with the carrier nerf ( CV biased). CV are one of the largest ships in the game, hence large HP pool. As for the speed; CVs have the lowest "fire rate" of all classes, mobility is a CV only defence and effective offence. Figther vs Fighter is good at the moment, you just have to make the engagement favorable and upgrade everything.

Pay attention to your surroundings. Also if you can't dodge them, but you ARE paying attention, go in circles at full speed before they come close to droping the torpedoes. CV captain will have to correct his course and your AA will do the rest. Tried it on my T5 CV, 1 out 2 squadrons dead and only 1 tropedo hit me.

@Cobra6 Camping in the corner of the map is worse for the carrier captain than anyone else. The closer you are the less your planes will need to fly to reload and attack. And an awesome quote -Q: "Carriers are the arty of WoW's!" Developer reaction: "Keep your anti-arty jihad for WoT forums!"

You manualy aim with Alt. When in game just ask, that how i learned how to manualy aim. @Some101 In tier 6 1 BB had enough firepower to halve 1 of my squadrons, bacause i hesitated and tried to reposition my fighters. A solo BB did that. I had games where BBs and CAs dodge like ninjas and i fail hard, but I also had games where i wreck people 2-3 kills a game. Carriers are OP if you don't pay attention, if you tunnel vision and die, it's your fault.

The only thing you need to do is pay attention, nothing more.

So far it's been great here with the ocasional noob team comment.

@Some101 sticking close to the fron is already risky enough: BBs will target you, DDs will rush and torp. Also note: you can shoot down planes. I still see people thinking they are playing WoT, thinking that 1 ship can carry a game(doesn't end well for them). Pro tip: 1 fire makes a carrier useless.

People tend to forget that this is a team based game. This is not World of tanks where 1 tank can wreck a team.
