To reminisce of better times. A time when this game was full of promise and potential.

Basically planes follow whereever you're looking at via yawing if you're doing it at certain degrees forward. So if you're looking directly to the side or behind, planes won't change direction. But if you're looking forward and slightly to the side, planes will turn. Takes some getting used to but once you do it is fairly useful to make adjustments when attacking without completely widening your reticle via turning with A/D. If you don't want your planes to turn, just make sure you're looking directly in the middle of your reticle when attacking. Most reticles have a convenient middle line to make that easier.

I would actually disagree with that. They've become a bit more difficult to use but they are nevertheless useful for finishing off low HP targets quickly, scouting and general harassment. And ofc if you play the one true CV line TiTs are decent firestarters with okay alpha if you want a quick DoT follow up. Giving RFs an air superiority role would heavily depend on how effective it is supposed to be. Make it too weak and it will ironically only be used against catapult fighters at most (which is a fair enough use I suppose if you really want to give CVs more advantages) to the detriment of surface ships. Make it too strong and it heavily disrupts the rework concept as it prevents the "one squad damage dealing" playstyle that WG wants. As such if you were to give out such a gimmick it would inevitably have to be too weak, at which point the existence of such a mechanic can be put into question. The inherent design of the CV rework dictates that CVs should not have effective tools to fight each other, as such if you want to give them such a tool you'd have to scrap the rework. There is simply no way to implement it to a point where both the rework concept doesn't fall apart and CVs can effectively fight each other to relieve pressure off of their teammates.

Heck, it's even worse than before, really. Previously CV players on the forums were at least willing to see the numerous flaws of RTS CV play. Now it's just "OMG I CAN'T ATTACK ANYTHING AT WILL! HOTFIX RUINED EVERYTHING! AA IS TOO STRONG!" etc. etc. etc. And more often than not that is ironically coming from someone who used to despise CVs prior to the rework. ing hilarious in retrospect when the same people were previously complaining about how AA is too weak and other bull when in reality AA was much stronger pre rework than post. Or how RTS CVs dealt too much damage, but now suddenly CVs deal too little damage and "are practically useless" when CVs now actually have higher damage potential. And so forth and so on. The nerves of these people. ing amazing. Oh, and before I forget, a lot of them also accused me of wanting to keep my "OP toy" at every turn when I told them just how much of a show the rework is going to be. Guess who got the last laugh?

...it does? Hold on, let me check in the training room. Because only maneuvering should widen the reticle, not changing speed. Yeah, changing speed doesn't do anything. My guess would be that you're doing micro adjustments with the mouse. Even the slightest turn will cause your reticle to stop closing or even widen. Also JESUS CHRIST MY EYES! @MrConway PLEASE! DO SOMETHING!

Meh, to each their own. I would still recommend trying AL since, you know, it doesn't cost you a dime, but don't force yourself if you don't want to. :)

Except the issues ironically haven't changed either. People who were constantly complaining about RTS CVs now are defending reworked CVs for the same reasons we were defending RTS CVs. There is literally not a single new issue, yet suddenly we have CV haters doing a full 180° and complain about stuff that were deemed just fine by them in the RTS iteration. If anything the rework has exposed the hilarious hypocrisy people showed when it came to CVs. Nothing more.

Again, serious air opposition would break the rework. It doesn't matter how many gimmicks you attach to that.

Except again, it doesn't work like that. If you only have one squad, that one squad has to be able to do damage. Otherwise it'd be completely useless. The premise that you can wipe a squad before it can do any harm no longer exists. This naturally extends to fighters. Meanwhile manual fighters would HAVE to be able to wipe entire squads in short order or otherwise no one would bother with them. It's the same issue that fighters faced in the RTS iteration as they only became truly useful after strafing was introduced. Aka introducing manually controlled fighters would break the rework entirely. It simply doesn't work due to the way the rework is designed.

One of them perhaps. But then again having serious opposition from the enemy CV with only one squad available per player would break the rework. The entire rework is simply built upon nothing but flaws.

Ironically one of the reasons why the did the rework. They don't want CVs to stop CVs.

Wouldn't do anything. DBs need to be practically on top of a target before they can attack anyway so USN CV power against DDs would be undiminished. Meanwhile IJN CVs would fall further into obscurity.

Ignore. Every single second spent not damage farming is a second wasted and eventually starts putting your team behind. Only drop fighters to protect teammates if they are on your path to your target anyway.

Not that it is much consolation considering the s I get. Just this evening: - 4 vs 4, but behind in caps and points - literally kill everyone but the enemy CV because my s are worthless, 2 mins on the clock - all my teammates have to do is cap to win What do they do? - one camps all the way on the map border behind us because he's a wallet warrior with a brand new T8 premium. Full HP 18 mins into the match ofc. - the closest one to the cap is a that immediately turns away from it because reasons, then unsurprisingly dies to the enemy CV because he's suddenly alone - the other instead of accelerating to cap stays behind me the entire time End up taking the cap myself with NO ONE ELSE entering to assist. The guy following me? Parks at the edge of the cap ofc. Lost by less than 10 points. ing glorious.

Honestly if I had to choose between the two I'd probably pick AL as well. It just solves a lot of issues KC has which is likely intentional. Fortunately I have time to play both, so there is no need for me to choose. :) Also my waifu would owari da me otherwise.

Now you've made me curious. Please gib.

Not enough to carry all these s playing this game. I should've quit my last match when I saw that literally everyone on my team except me was below 30%. Instead I chose to play it out. Default lost after 3 mins.

No seriously. I don't believe Flamu even plays CVs and Notser is the definition of mediocre in general.

Considering neither are particularly good CV players, be that pre or post rework, that's hardly difficult tbh.

Well, she's here. "This remodel requires 2 blueprints, a prototype catapult, an action report, a new model aerial armament material and devmats." JESUS ING CHRIST TANAKA!

Except this is a video game. Games naturally aren't bound by the constraints of real life. CVs CAN be balanced, but certainly not like this. I actually believe potatoes did a lot better with the RTS iteration as it had an inbuilt aimbot in the form of auto drop. Wasn't a good aimbot, but an aimbot nonetheless. Helped ofc that the vast majority of the players weren't and probably still aren't intelligent enough to dodge said auto drop. I disagree. Multitasking and fighter mechanics have been replaced with more AA interaction which is about the only thing that lowered the skill floor. Even that can be argued as more of a trade off rather than a direct improvement when considering every other new mechanic piled on top and the removal of automatic attacks. Everything else has largely remained the same. Target selection, minimap awareness, AA knowledge, likely target behaviors, etc. are still just as crucial as they were previously. Knowledge was and still is power when it comes to CV play and you still go through pretty much the same channels to acquire them, be those sheer experience or guides made by others.

I meant the playing standard in general across all classes. Though concerning CVs specifically, nothing can be fixed because the fundamental concept is flawed to the extreme. And I'm sorry, but objectively speaking you aren't anywhere close to decent. The skill floor has largely remained the same as with RTS CVs. This rework hasn't solved anything, in fact it has done nothing but pile more problems on top.

Generally yes, however since the topic is about 2vs2 CV matches I mean getting a ed CV teammate as a CV specifically. Why you feel the need to contest that is beyond me.

- I play CV - 30% WR also plays CV and is on my team - if both enemy CVs are at least halfway decent it is an almost guaranteed loss unless the majority of the enemy team is horrendously stupid as well or my team is exceptionally amazing Do you get it now?
