Like pretty much everything CV survivability related it's to prevent CV sniping.

Ah, whoops. My bad. Hits like that should result in citadels in my experience. Nothing I have specifically tested though so take this with a grain of salt.

Nah, those will bounce. Unless you use maybe GZ AP bombs but who knows what is going on with those. You either go through the deck or not at all. It is possible to lob AP bombs through the belt of some cruisers but since enlightened drop got fixed that is extremely RNG and requires said cruiser to have rather light belt armor ala Leander or Atlanta. Not something I would ever recommend trying.

Man, you guys are late to the party. I've been doing that for a year now.

3x Enterprise. Oh wait. WG pls give. Will totally make the rework even more successful than it already is.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

*rubs hands in AP bombs*

The issue is that the burst damage is a system of diminishing returns. Initially you may get one kill, but on any subsequent bursts you won't as the burst damage is based on a percentage of current squad HP. And well, MAA is a rather heavy investment that can be spent better otherwise. The skill actually isn't as bad as many make it out to be (since the DPS increase of sector is actually 0 sum more often than not), it's just prohibitively expensive.

Yes ofc. What I meant was they're worthless as a measurement of AA strength.

And yet they never seem to run out of viable attack wings due to a combination of weak AA and regen being too fast. AA achievements are worthless because fighters count towards it.

Most CVs also still have a total plane capacity that matches or exceeds pre-nerf RTS Midway. So any plane you get is a consolation price with little impact.

Again, this is among the most plane kills they've had while playing in that div. And it's not like they didn't get attacked by CVs either. Thus ultimately proving that AA is worthless.

Yup, after testing a bit with my Midway I found little difference. Still gonna keep it and see. On pretty much all other CVs tho I now run 2ndary mod. Just like how a certain someone used to recommend it.

Actually the new module decreases the cd of sector, not the time it takes to reach full power. If it actually did make sector reach full power faster it would've been somewhat useful. Anyway, the torp speed upgrade for CVs may actually have some use on Midway or RN CVs if you don't run TA. Will have to test that though. On pretty much every other CV it's completely worthless as you either take TA or the torps are fast enough anyway.

Fify. The simple truth is that AA cover is a dead concept because long-range AA is far too weak. E.g. Mino long range AA is weaker than Shima AA. What you failed to mention is that the potato who this screenshot belongs to tried to snipe me for half the match. You'll also notice that my div mates only shot down 10 planes despite ample exposure. And this is among the most they've gotten while playing in this div. Ironically this taught my div mates that AA is indeed worthless, thus making our point. Thanks for that I suppose.

Lass die 80% WR mal weg, die ham ja hierfür nichts auszusagen, was? Aber die besagten stats illustriert das skilled CV Leben ziemlich gut. Gerade weil man so oft das Spiel in den ersten paar Minuten entscheidet bleibt einem nicht allzu viel Zeit, damage bzw. kills zu farmen. Man kriegt einfach oft nicht die Gelegenheit dazu, das gesamte Gegnerteam zu killen. Dazu muss dein eigenes Team ungefähr genauso schnell wegsterben. Wenn man beispielsweise die einzigen 2 gegnerischen DDs innerhalb der ersten 5 mins killt und anschließend alle caps besitzt ist das Match halt nach 10 mins rum. Da ist nichts mehr mit groß die stats pushen. Überleg mal, bevor du so einen absoluten Schwachsinn postest. Ersteres ist aufgrund des Zeitlimits nicht möglich, deshalb ja auch "reduziertes MM". Letzteres hat man schon im 12vs12 CB gesehen. Selbst koordinierte Clans können schlichtweg keinen wirklich guten CV aufhalten, weil dazu die Möglichkeiten einfach nicht gegeben sind. Das sind keine Übertreibungen, sondern ganz einfach die Realität. Deshalb sind CVs auch weiterhin aus allen kompetitiven Modi verbannt und sollten es auch bleiben.

Was lächerlicher Selbstmord ist in Anbetracht dessen wie unglaublich schwach long range AA selbst auf AA Schiffen ist. Mal zum Vergleich, Mino long range ist schwächer als Shima AA. Das beeindruckt noch net mal T6 CVs. Wenn jemand ernsthaft durch sowas all seine Flieger verliert dann ist derjenige ja wohl einfach nur grottenschlecht. CVs können immer noch locker im Alleingang das Match entscheiden. Um genau zu sein können sie bei reduziertem MM sogar locker das ganze Gegnerteam im Alleingang auslöschen ohne, dass die sich überhaupt wirklich wehren können weil es nunmal absolut keine Kontermöglichkeiten gibt. Wie gut ein CV performed entscheidet allein der skill des CV Spielers, die surface ships haben da nichts mitzureden. Und btw, sowas gab's damals auch:

They never had any use to begin with since 0.8.7. Potato CVs will die to flak. Non-potato CVs will not care whether you're AA build or not because it makes little difference.

Budy has effectively the same AA as Kirov when it comes to self-defense as she shifts her AA strength from her long/mid range to her short range. That also means in terms of fleet defense (which in itself is a dead concept I suppose) Budy actually has much worse AA than Kirov.

Hi there.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood comes to mind.

So apparently WoWs going full Russian bias is not enough, AL devs want some of that too. Coincidence? Also

Falsch. Denn ein DD kann nur deine Zeit verschwenden, wenn du es auch zulässt. Andererseits verschwendest du nur die Zeit der DDs, nicht anders herum. (Oder halt alternativ RNG die ganze Zeit nein sagt, aber das hat ja nichts mit dem Können zu tun.)
