Just to note, according to WG this is apparently a bug and will be fixed.

Midway can't carpet bomb tho? Seriously, I've never seen a hit deal more than 22k damage since DB alpha was nerfed during testing. Yes, it used to be a lot higher. This can NOT happen anymore.

Good thing CVs are going to get buffed pretty hard next patch.

I mean, can't exactly overcome things hardcoded to the game you know? Midway HE bombs will never citadel (though on the bright side they can't overpen either), meaning their damage potential is always cut by 1/3rd of their maximum alpha. A single attack with 6 bomb hits will thus top out at 22,4k damage. Any subsequent attacks will be subject to damage saturation and a lot of bombs tend to never deal damage by hitting AA mounts/turrets/etc.

Yes, you do. A combination of minimap awareness and the detected icon will give you all the info you'll ever need. I've gotten snuck up on once in the rework so far. The DD promptly died to planes. Defending yourself against DDs rushing you is laughably easy.

None does. Even if you consider fail divs.

Or you could just maintain enough situational awareness to never let a DD sneak up on you in the first place. Or just kill him before he comes into secondary range. It's not that hard. Besides, enemy DD has to up incredibly hard to miss his chance to kill you once he is in secondary range.

Ah, yeah. Path is what I meant.

Just spoof it. AA always spawns directly in front of you, so just don't go directly to your target until you're ready to attack.

This is possibly the fastest match I've ever played. Should've probably left a DD alive to prolong their suffering. ¬_¬ Also I've been accused of cheating again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

DD AA clearly too strong pls nerf. (Seriously though, how do you even?)

Meanwhile I killed a full AA Kitakaze. With my Enterprise. DD AA is only good if the enemy CV is dumb enough to fly through flak. And a lot of them are.

If a T4 CV can just kill 6 ships without stealing them all then your team has done something very, very wrong.

You can give up guys. S_O has already stated that 2 CVs per team is here to stay. No amount of feedback convinced them to remove AP bombs, remember? I would seriously doubt this time is going to be any different.

This is contradictory to S_Os recent statement that tutorials will not happen. Care to clarify please? Unless you mean the creation of content such as written guides on the official homepage, videos, posts on the dev blog etc. which we all know will never reach the majority of players, especially not those who actually need such. Or ofc you mean that the devs know but do not care.

And how many of those did you supposedly get, pray tell? Official site lists 63 kills, wows-numbers displays 51 of which 50 were by aircraft. So even if all the remaining kills were by secondaries that means you'd be spending a lot of points and upgrade slots which you could invest better otherwise to get a frag every 5-6 matches. And that's the best case scenario. Let's assume only half of those were by secondaries (which would still be a rather high number). That'd mean you got one kill every 10-13 matches. Really, this is supposed to show that CV secondaries are a worthwhile investment?

You have a single secondary kill in CVs total. Lying is not very smart when your stats are publicly available. But please, show us those screenshots.

Wasn't that the entire point of this rework? To make CVs popular enough so that they appear in the majority of, if not all matches?

Well, , I guess you love shooting and bombing people then because your avatar depicts such. /s Do you really not see how utterly laughable your rhetoric is? Or is it just that you have no further arguments to defend your heavily flawed views with? And I guess you will give us a detailed explanation as to how you've unmasked all of us as frauds.

I can more than understand people getting tired of you as you keep insisting on your objectively wrong views after 9 pages of posts detailing precisely why you're wrong. So yeah, that's your fault too. And as already explained, stats do not lie if given a sufficient sample size. That is scientifically proven fact.

And ofc you have never considered the possibility that you're in the wrong when many more experienced, knowledgeable and skilled players speak out against the misinformation you're trying to perpetuate. Nah, must be bullying.

Yup.

Except there is no balance to be found. The entire idea of giving an AS role to reworked CVs is fundamentally flawed because it doesn't fit with the inherent design of the rework. Lets say at T10 an RF squad could shoot down 3 enemy planes with their ability. That is one attack wing out of 3 or 4. Why would you ever bother following around enemy squads just to annoy him slightly? This ability would be useful though to grief surface ships by killing their cataput planes. Increase that to 4 however and suddenly you're denying two entire strikes as partial wings rarely make it to their targets. This is already way too powerful and defeats the purpose of reworked CVs to focus on their interaction with surface ships. Again, there is no way to implement such a thing without breaking the rework one way or another.
