The problem isn't hitting but overall damage output.

In a normal random match yes. You may ask @Saiyko about the glorious fun DDs have against me.

Audacious is objectively garbage and easily the weakest T10 CV at this point. The rockets are too slow to be of any real use, the TBs are her only viable weapon but she gets too few of them to really make an impact and the LBs are ironically even more restricted in their target selection than AP bombs. She has nothing in her arsenal to combat cruisers and DDs effectively while BBs will inevitably shred her meager reserves by virtue of being the best AA ships around thanks to glorious catapult fighter. Enterprise meanwhile fields twice the effective plane reserves (regeneration on rocket planes alone is almost as high as Audacious TOTAL plane regen) with best-in-class options against all classes including CVs. Does that really matter? Following this logic we could've just retained RTS CVs, no? I fail to see how average stats factor into this.

You're challenging it on a basis that literally cannot occur in a normal match, as such it's rather pointless. A CV may not be able to take on 5 DDs alone in all but the most extreme circumstances but in a normal ranked/random battle it's entirely possible to kill them all in a small time frame.

On that note @Crysantos is the dev team aware that the Enterprise is grossly overpowered to the point where she can be considered better than any T10 CV? And if yes, are there plans to pull her from sale? I mean, I love the history behind the ship as much as the next WW2 naval enthusiast and I honestly can't begin to imagine the storm on NA if you decide to pull her from sale but I see no other choice unless you want to revoke your statement that premium CV balancing is finished.

Stats of top players are somewhat meaningless as most of the old Midway top stats are still from OBT/launch where CVs were far too strong. Stats of bottom players meanwhile just mean that potatoes were actually less worthless in the RTS iteration than now, aka they present an increase in the skill gap. If you want something more accurate, look below.

Except that's a situation that literally cannot happen within MM constraints. No, although it is certainly far from rare to have only potatoes vs potatoes what I'm talking about is simple MM constraints. 1 CV vs 5 DDs is not a scenario that can ever happen (anymore), as such it is worthless to discuss it.

Chatban system is largely automated. I can guarantee whatever software is behind this will be thoroughly unimpressed by your screenshots and videos.

Nah, DDs could just sustain smoke for 20 mins I'm rather sure. Which ofc doesn't remotely resemble combat conditions either. As such your experiments are rather meaningless. I've had plenty of battles in which I killed (directly or indirectly) all 4/5 DDs before the 10 min mark. It may depend on how dumb they and how lucky you are, but I can assure you it's entirely possible.

That would hardly resemble the conditions above, no? Let's examine it a bit: Gearing - 46%, 22k avg dmg, 200 battles Daring - (65%), 39k avg dmg, 32 battles Shimakaze - 37%, 37k avg dmg, 291 battles Shimakaze - (38%), 43k avg dmg, 73 battles Grozovoi - 45%, 56k avg dmg, 189 battles If you then consider that Gearing, Daring and Grozo are all pretty susceptible to high damage salvoes and Shima is, well, Shima I don't believe killing them all off in a short amount of time would be much trouble at all. Against 5 DDs who actually know what they're doing killing them all is still possible, but perhaps not within a small timeframe unless RNGesus bestows some spectacular rocket salvoes. So I'm afraid I'll have to decline, unless ofc you and whoever you choose to go with are willing to act like s? Task force composition. No one said anything about ship classes.

Not only that, they can be finished off in less than 10 minutes with minimal plane losses. Your inability to engage DDs with aircraft doesn't translate to everyone else.

Nah, he's worse than that. Just read some of the passages in which he praises the use of CV secondaries against DDs and you'll understand.

Praised be best waifu. May she continue to grind my enemies into dust.

I mean, it is technically speaking a T10 CV. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Enterprise. I'm not even joking.

And yet you still failed to have any impact on the match. Much less being able to reproduce results anywhere close to good.

Nah dude, apparently Yamato can go 80+kn. https://streamable.com/8019v This is not a joke. Kinda. Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfWarships/comments/bwxy6h/how_to_just_dodge_in_yamato/

Again funny how you fail to reproduce such results in literally the same ships you're calling broken and op. Or how you were significantly worse than 50% before the rework. I suppose WG's MM has failed with a "real bad player" such as yourself.

Which means the actual number is going to be even more pitiful. Again, you're just full of comedy gold, aren't you? Also funnily enough you can't reproduce my results in the same "op broken ships". I suppose that just makes you bad, doesn't it?

- RTS planes had large downtimes during which you could operate freely - RTS plane spotting could be easily denied by quite a few ships that had both effective AA and an equal/lower air detection than their AA range - RTS planes were slower Do I need to go on?

Lets see, during your entire career you destroyed 2225 ships over 3699 battles. Of which 58 were destroyed with secondaries and 311 with DoT. So even assuming ALL of your DoT kills were with secondaries your investment would pay off as 0,1 kills per battle played. And we all know not all of that DoT is from secondaries so the real number will be far less than that. Totally worth it lol.

It's only one minute or so which is about the same cd as the far less effective DFAA consumable. Ofc you're still gonna die but at least you can make the CV suffer for it. So take solace in the fact that Musashi is actually among the better AA ships out there now, especially in comparison with most dedicated AA ships. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

- sinks a ton of points into worthless 2ndary/AA skills - complains about his planes getting killed all the time by mediocre/bad AA in other threads Boy you are just full of comedy gold, aren't you?
