If you believe people were match fixing then send the replay to support.

Tirpitz was the weakest T8 BB when first introduced by far.

You and I have very different experiences in that regard. Sure wonder why.

Sole reason why low tiers are more popular is because it is artificially kept alive via seal clubbing. For the longest time low tier CVs were actually less popular than during RTS before they buffed Hosho and Langley to be seal clubbing machines. This can easily be seen by their player numbers. Nobody is playing Hermes in comparison. "New" CV players do not exist. As for population, there are quite a few reports of a pretty high number of players leaving due to the CV rework. Several clans have apparently bled pretty hard. That the overall population hasn't changed thus likely just means that the rework has pulled as many players in as it has made leave. This in itself makes it a failure on that front however as it turned out to be a 0 sum investment. A new major rework of a class should make the popularity of the game rise, not stagnate.

*laughs in Enterprise*

Or you could just kill them before they win on points. It's not that hard to kill any cruiser within the 3-4 min mark. Probably because they actually realize that having +10% DPS is a completely worthless investment for a lot of points spent.

As I said, it's called auto pilot. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Once again proving that AA specs are worthless. Bad CV players will simply defeat themselves. Good CV players will not care.

Mostly utterly terrible ideas with some good ones sprinkled in here and there. It is obvious that this guy has barely any idea what he's even talking about in terms of mechanics and monetization. Here are some hilarious things he mentioned: - SBMM (Oh god, not this again.) - There need to be anti-seal-clubbing measures (There are.) - You apparently need premium at T6+ (Because clearly the economy nowadays isn't extremely forgiving or sth.) - Hurr durr I should get more for my money, WG needs to tune down prices! - Coop is too difficult in high tiers - There should be T2-4 ranked (Wat.)

37 matches, all Enterprise. Lost one because auto pilot, the most dangerous thing to CVs in this entire game, ed me. DDs tended to die pretty much immediately. Cruisers usually died right after taking one cap. That includes those with heal. BBs were usually able to secure one or both caps before dying. CVs if they were charging me tended to make it halfway across. Think the longest it took me to kill something was ~6 mins.

Don't think an overall guide exists. I wrote some stuff about accelerated bailout and island bailout quite some time ago: Using your immunity period to reengage is quite simple. Your planes remain (somewhat) maneuverable during the drop animation, meaning that during the period of invulnerability you can already turn to mitigate the amount of time spent in AA for your next strike. This works especially well with the RN bombers as they have by far the longest immunity time, you can basically turn halfway around with those while the bombs are falling. Enterprise rockets are also highly adept at it due to their extremely high maneuverability, which can then be used in combination with their accuracy parameters to reengage a target immediately (albeit with reduced accuracy). Particularly useful against DDs as you stay inside their concealment the entire time rather than having to dart in and out of it. Alternatively you can also use it to strike a different target as you said, though that'd technically be a slingshot.

Here's a question for you: What is the difference between using aircraft and using secondaries in terms of player interaction and skill? As is evident by the overabundance of screenshots posted of GZ victories. Oh wait, most of us actually use a different ship entirely. Stop making up blatant lies. Which is why the top ranking ship this sprint is actually a CV that has among the worst secondaries of its class.

Atago doesn't even survive past the first heal assuming competent CV play. Contesting a cap is not necessary. Atago's AA is pathetic at a combined ~170 true base DPS. To put this into perspective the T6 IJN BB Fuso has (slightly) better AA. And before you say it, BFT will provide a completely negligible boost of ~17 DPS. The AA is actually so bad that it cannot shoot down a CV fighter before it aggros the catapult fighter, meaning a CV can just negate it completely. Not that it is needed ofc in a 1vs1. Atago maneuverability and handling means extremely little to aircraft as attack runs can be reliably executed regardless. Atago armor does nothing against CV ordinance. The armor is light enough that all rockets and HE bombs will penetrate almost everywhere, while heavy enough that all AP bombs will reliably arm regardless of drop altitude. The 16% TDS, if it does come down to it, likewise provides practically no protection from torps. Basically that means Atago armor is completely worthless against CVs. Please do inform yourself of the characteristics of a ship before you try to talk facts about them.

@Crysantos @MrConway Well, this seems.... interesting?

Sector cheese, abusing island cover, abusing wonky detection mechanics, abusing immunity period to slingshot, abusing immunity period to reengage, accel bailout and island bailout are all measures you can take to reduce or negate the impact of DPS.

While true, statistics back up his claim and not yours. So perhaps you should take your own words to heart? Enemy is a Shokaku. Damage Received: BOMBS Yeah, nothing more needs to be said.

That would imply any DD can even do that.

There are so many ways to cheese DPS it's not even funny.

It's not. It is a well proven fact gathered from data across multiple seasons. Unless ofc you can prove it with hard data otherwise? Do be careful tho, it would heavily contradict your statement above.

Except ranked gets easier the more time passes. Aka so called "counter tactics" actually will decline over time even if they did exist in the first place. So in reality by waiting you've made your experience completely irrelevant as per your own standards.

Except this inherently implies that he was playing not only bad, but utterly horrendous.

Nothing. I hate paid lootbox mechanics so I wouldn't have spent anything even if this year hadn't been such a disaster.

Standard build across all CVs: https://wowsft.com/ship?index=PASA518&modules=111111&upgrades=122010&commander=PCW001&skills=663560&consumables=11 For the 4th upgrade slot you want TB health for everyone but Enterprise. Enterprise wants DB health.

Actually I got a ton of insults and salt thrown my way. Not sure why, really.
