Sure. But then again that's not considering at all that the amount of active skilled players is extremely laughable. According to maplesyrup that number is around 50, probably less. Meanwhile if you take a look at top player stats damage, WR and frags per match haven't changed at all, which means CVs are at least just as powerful as their predecessors. So perhaps its just time for CV players to take their own advice and git gud?

Rework is now officially less popular than the RTS iteration. Can we just get a rollback already?

Knowing the capabilities of that ship and just looking at the plane losses I can tell you that the Enterprise player was definitely not decent. 3rd place when almost everyone made below 1k base exp is not exactly an accomplishment, especially when considering that Enterprise's economy modifier seems to rival Missouri's.

There are several. And all of those are fanmade, nothing is official. The one you refer to (Fantasy Kaleidoscope) doesn't have an official voice cast. They get by with subtitles only. Any voiceover is thus also fanmade hence why there's only a single VA.

So Crosswave will basically be just AL mobile gameplay in 3D? At least that's what it looks like. Have to be honest, it looks really awkward.

Midway unplayable lol. Seriously, Midway and Haku are still extremely strong options even after 0.8.5. Both have big reserves and, with the exception of Midway TBs (which are extremely situational anyway), decent plane regen. Unless you go completely you'll practically never find yourself out of a effective striking force during the entire match. Also contrary to popular belief alpha strike is still a thing on both. I suppose it is just time for the average CV player to follow their own advice and git gud? Audacious meanwhile is dead (comparatively speaking). Played one match and did decent I suppose (which you can watch halfway here https://www.twitch.tv/videos/448558971?t=06h46m42s ) but MM was extremely favorable and I would've been much more effective in a Midway/Haku. Bit off topic, but wanna know why that DM didn't radar on @Izoz' request? Because it was a fighter plane DM.

Yo @Saiyko, someone finally noticed.

KC news: New event already starts late August. Holy Tanaka why would you do this? You just obliterated all my resources only to tell me I have less than 2 months left to recuperate? T_T

Nah, if anything the rework is proof that they have no idea what the they're doing.

What I meant is that top player performance hasn't changed. This is not personal belief, it is indisputable fact as derived from simple stat comparison. What is also immediately apparent when doing so is the amount of elite players has dropped sharply. @Sunleader e.g. has made it into the top 100 CV players on maplesyrup and he describes himself as mediocre. If that's a top 100 player, how trash is the rest of the CV playerbase? I can also pull my own solo stats as an example if you so wish. Aside from average frags (which isn't surprising considering reworked Midway focuses more on assisting a frag than getting it) Midway stats are practically the same. My waifu Enterprise gets slightly more frags and average damage while being within 5% (still rising btw) of her RTS iteration. She also managed to break both kill and damage records along with yielding me an incredible number of 8 kill matches which in the RTS iteration I could count on one hand. Thus CVs are held back by players in their stats, not by their inherent potential. The relevant ones anyway. You honestly believe half a year is enough to explore everything in CVs if you're not a hardcore player? And that's assuming you didn't start late. Heck, I bet 90% don't even know about accel bailout or flak misdirection, let alone exploits that aren't even in circulation yet. The majority doesn't even seem to know how to dodge flak. Wanna know what is actually a bold statement? Assuming that casuals get better after only half a year especially with repeated nerfs to the class to make garbage players even more garbage. Again, target audience of the rework plays a role here. Something that applies to one CV does not necessarily apply to another. Just ask around, any CV player worth their salt will tell you that RN CVs are meh at best.

WG is known to interpret surveys in their favor no matter how unfavorable the results are. Thus ingame surveys will have no effect.

Feels like a diversion strategy, doesn't it?

Check here instead: https://stats.wotapi.ru/stats/wows/eu/total Counts players online only. CV rework seems to have attracted as many players as have left. It does not seem to have had impact on population at all. The current decline we're seeing is one that happens every single year. This is on all servers. 40+ players on a population counting 20-30k is nothing.

Ever checked population stats? Playerbase is stable. No new players, no veterans leaving. WoWs has saturated its target audience.

This is the player that you have managed to kill. Somehow I don't feel like it is much of an achievement.

You mean base capture, right? Base defense is kind of a big deal. Funnily enough no they don't as I have another data set backing me up. What they do prove is precisely what I stated before. Because we know for a fact that the maximum potential of the class hasn't changed. Any reason for a drop in performance thus has to be something other than "the ship has gotten weaker". Another fact we know is that a lot of people that have never played CVs before have started to play the class, so a drop in average stats was more than predictable. Perhaps reworked CV play has objectively gotten more difficult compared to the previous iteration as well after all the adjustments. The only T10 reworked CV with perhaps relevant stats is thus the Audacious due to being relatively new and the playerbase having gotten some experience before touching her. That is the only thing holding her stats above the other two T10 CVs as we all know the Audacious is trash and actually inferior to both her contemporaries. Both Haku and Midway are still extremely powerful if played well even after 0.8.5, sharing 2nd place in maximum potential behind a glorious p2w ship that has repeatedly gotten buffed both directly and relatively for some reason. While I admit that my previous comparison had flaws, taking numbers at face value here doesn't exactly lead to a conclusive result either.

To make the experience as miserable as possible for other players. I'm not even joking.

Then apparently the game has been dead for years.
