New Dreadnought class ballistic missile submarine is to be named Warspite. Meanwhile in AL CN, Shangri-La and Independence are to be obtainable during a coop event where you chip away at some global HP bar along with the rest of the server. Patch hits two days from now. More details here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AzureLane/comments/aurgr6/jpcn_patch_notes_for_28feb219/ Sounds interesting enough. Time to burn through my giant pile of resources!

Except you fundamentally lack the capability to oppose the enemy CV in the rework, something literally no other class is limited by. You're grasping at straws at this point.

Would do absolutely nothing to TBs and DBs, really. RFs would also be completely unaffected since they bleed speed so fast. Personally with Midway T/DBs I start pressing W to max speed again when I've dropped ~10kn. A bit less tedious than tapping like a madman and this actually gives boost enough time to regen a bit.

And how exactly is that any different to the previous iteration? Hint: Forcing a much more skilled CV player into a stalemate was hilariously easy if you just use your brain for a bit. Now you just become a liability to your team by default since the enemy CV will outdamage you rapidly. I fail to see how this is an improvement.

A contradiction in itself.

Yes you were.

Strafing was removed in T4 & 5. Besides, instead of losing everything to strafing now a CV simply gets annihilated even by the most minuscule of AA. And with the loss of auto drops CV players miss every attack they actually get through as well. Attempting to characterize reworked CVs as noob friendly when they are actually more hostile compared to their predecessors is hilarious at best.

CN server is stuck on 0.7.3. No US CLs, no IJN T9/10 gun DDs, no Kron, no Stalin, etc. And most importantly, no CV rework.

Usually I just take my Midway out for a match or two and leave it at that. Most of my matches played nowadays are still on the CN server.

Actually I ventured onto EU for a bit. Variety and all, you know? ^^ (And well, trying to make the Enterprise work with 0.8.0.3. Not very successful I'm afraid.)

Wanna know what the truly sad thing is? We won. Pretty hard, too. I do!

Have you ever considered that the few remaining Haku players simply switched from the now completely useless 4x torps to the slightly less useless 2x torps, thus dealing a bit more damage than before? Because quite frankly I don't see how the nonsensical changes WG made could've impacted the performance of one CV without impacting the other as well considering the grand majority were blanket nerfs. They deserve none of the credit you're trying to give them.

-20% air concealment across the board definitely. How devs came up with the idea that stealth cruiser AA in the reworked system is acceptable is beyond me.

Blatantly trying to steer away from a lie you tried to perpetuate seems rather typical from players like you, doesn't it? Also any T10 AA cruiser specialized for AA DPS and with proper sector management along with DFAA will destroy same tier squadrons before they can launch their first attack in open water even now in the rework. So yeah, wrong again.

Point was that after hotfix 1 CVs were very much playable. They only needed a bit more effort to succeed with. I'd probably not care and still play on the CN server.

Quite frankly these stats are worthless as well. To truly compare how successful the rework is compared to the RTS iteration we would need to compare stats at the beginning of the rework with CV population stats from the beginning of ~OBT or at least official release. I believe however that the latter are lost to time, as such a true comparison becomes impossible. Point is the CV rework was always going to be more popular than the RTS iteration because it is the shiny new thing. You are basically comparing the playerbase of an established old class with a brand new one. And in that context the rework is actually not doing all that well tbh, recently being only about twice as popular as something that was already 3 years old. Aka instead of only 3% of all players playing CVs we have 6%. I remember RTS CVs being far more popular than that initially. If given the same circumstances, which seems to be where WG is going considering they're making all the same mistakes, reworked CVs may actually end up less popular than their predecessors.

Quick PSA: Enterprise fighters are now once again the bloodthirsty berserkers we've seen in testing. Crossing them is not recommended especially in a same tier CV. Not that anyone really plays Enterprise tho.

How you are even able to lose that many fighters is beyond me. Do you use them directly over enemy AA or sth? Also your actual plane losses are 75 total, though I'm sure that won't comfort you much.

Clemson then. On a more serious note, Kongo ain't all that bad.

Giulio Cesare.

Always.

I asked a glorious certain Commissar. He looked it up in your file.

I bet you're mad tho that over on the CN server we get old Islands of Ice instead of the disgusting new one with epicancer and thunderstorm on it.
