Nyet. Every thread needs CVs. Just like every match needs CVs.

Even when they are no longer in the game people want them nerfed. How typical.

Is that any wonder considering we have CV players like this guy around?

Dunno about the current CV implementation (which is indeed quite mind boggling) but I heard a lot of the (initial) developers in the WoWs team were actually former NavyField devs. And in NavyField the CV implementation worked just fine. (It was a vastly different game tho.) So adding CVs to surface ship battles isn't necessarily a bad idea since you have a precedence to take inspiration from, it's just a question of implementation. Both the RTS and the rework failed quite hard in that regard. The former due to utter neglect, the latter because it is built upon incredibly stupid fundamentals. I actually believe the current CV rework is what is left of the missiles they tested. The concept is practically the same.

Screenshots pls?

Depends on how many they know I suppose?

Which inherently disqualifies you. Because "you are too skilled and knowledgeable to judge" or something along those lines was the official response once I believe. But hey, plenty of other players to share this misery with, even if most of them have left for greener pastures. :)

Funny thing about increasing AA range: You might be ing yourself over. Because the deadliest AA is usually your mid range. Long range is for the most part neglectable (aka even if you had range it wouldn't do much to cover your allies), while increasing the range of your short range AA would make aircraft capable of turning and attacking you inside it, completely neutering your mid range AA for the most part. Aka a significant range increase would actually be a pretty harsh AA nerf.

Nah, since you're now an expert at playing CVs you will be relentlessly ignored. Just like the rest of us over the past 3 years. I'm afraid you shot yourself in the foot there mate.

The issue is the gigantic dispersion and long reengage times. If you can actually catch DDs they'll do the job just fine barring intervention from RNGesus.

Enterprise RFs are the best ones in the game, being both devastatingly effective and easy to use. Others aren't nearly as consistent nor forgiving. Trying to use Midway HVARs against DDs e.g. is usually going to end in failure.

ಠ_ಠ

Enterprise has the best rockets in the game when it comes to hunting down DDs and more lightly armored ships. Nothing compares (currently).

So how is a minute or so downtime (flight time back + flight time to target again) compatible with action-based gameplay? How can you even manually steer squads back to the CV with multiple attack wings? Are you going to be vulnerable to AA? Will you be able to spot? Have you even remotely thought this through?

I'm not, I just no longer give a . And I like to think after 2 years of unheard suggestions I deserve to do that. Besides, end of tech tree CV balancing is a very real possibility. A road map from here could just mean more premiums, more events and the beginning of the alt CV lines. It is by no means a guarantee that they're going to continue with the balancing pace as before.

Or it could be the abrupt end. Like with premium CV balancing. That was hilarious.

- implying Enterprise gives a because topkek accuracy + next to no accuracy penalty when aiming + hypermaneuverability + fast RF regen To put this into perspective Enterprise RFs actually outturn you by a huge margin. And since French DDs present a gigantic target getting 8-10k salvos is as easy as breathing.

- gigantic targets - no AA - no smoke *ING LAUGHS IN ENTERPRISE*

I thought about that as well, but I found this happened very rarely. You're under air attack way more often in my experience. But on the other hand +2 flak puffs isn't exactly going to deter anyone skilled either. Use whatever works for you.

Also funny is that I never see anyone complaining about her. In fact @EgyptOverseer's post above is the first time I've ever seen someone do it on both here and reddit. I thought a premium T8 CV easily being more powerful than every other CV except Midway would kick up a storm. It's the very definition of p2w. Yet it has been quiet. Too quiet.

How dare you question glorious concept thought up by greatest minds in gulag! Clearly you are in dire need of reeducation comrade! Commissar @Boris_MNE, arrest this man!

Well, she is the most powerful CV in the game for a reason. Depending on how they implement the DB change Enterprise may actually steal her crown tho. Training room with disabled bots. On the other hand having no accuracy penalty on DBs basically nullifies flak since you can attack from almost any angle.
