This might be well and true - if CVs would still receive normal DoT damage. With CVs being near immune to fires however the automated system itself becomes hilariously exploitable and once again gives the better player an at least equally big advantage. After all a potato will not know that to snipe a CV effectively you're gonna need to disregard fires and go for alpha strike and/or flooding. The amount of times I've seen players try and fail to kill my Midway with rockets or HE bombs while I just pop one fire to force their automatic DCP then spam them down with torps vastly outnumbers the matches in which my opponent actually tried to do the same to me. So in conclusion WG actually needs to heavily nerf flooding duration on CVs as well. Uh, nothing to see here. Move on.

Except he could have just inferred his info from the people who are currently succeeding with CVs you are labeling as useless. If e.g. no top clan is picking the GK in CBs for their lineups, do you need to have played the GK in CBs to know that she is an inferior pick compared to some of her other contemporaries?

It's very simple, there is no threshold. Again if you want to start voicing your opinions with at best 10 battles played, feel free to do so. To then however portray your opinion as the ultimate truth and attempt to shout down someone for lack of experience when your own is extremely limited is hilarious at best. But to your original point about all CVs except Midway being useless, while I cannot tell you from personal experience that you are right or wrong (after all I haven't played anything except Enterprise and Midway so far and do not really intend to change that), there are a number of players who do very well in T6+ CVs with a large sample size of matches played. This implies that whatever your issues are, they are in fact most likely a matter of "git gud". Whether you want to git gud or will find enjoyment in the process of doing so is up to you. And whether it is a good thing that your issues are a matter of "git gud" is also up for debate. But concerning the effectiveness of CVs outside of Midway it can be said with some certainty that they are far from useless. The chance ofc exists that all these players simply got lucky with MM or sth along those lines in the majority of their matches, but to say that it is small would be an understatement.

Considering I have witnessed two BBs (FdG and Musashi) not only go the 9-10 line on North but fail to kill an afk Ibuki once they finally managed to get their aft into the enemy spawn should tell you everything you need to know, really. They ofc died without accomplishing anything - just like every other BB on my team. Honestly it has gone so far at this point that I believe ed s like these deserve to get the CV rework shoved down their throats. I'm not even joking.

Yes. After all previous experience in other classes isn't being discarded here. I did not ask about how you are judging his experience compared to yours. I asked how you are capable of judging all but one CV useless when you have at most played 10 matches in one. Surely you need more experience than that? In that sense your 50 battles played is pretty equal in worth to no battles played at all. After all if e.g. someone told you that the Worcester is useless after playing only 10 battles with one, would you believe them? And do try to stay on topic here. Your superiority complex is of no concern to anyone.

Actually less than 1% of your matches are played in CVs. All but 50 of your CV games, of which your most played CV has 10, were played prior to the rework and can thus be discarded. So yeah, your experience in reworked CVs should be treated pretty much equally to @ForlornSailor's. And again I have to ask, what makes you capable of judging that? You are calling someone else out for their inexperience yet you too easily fall under that category. This is not about whether people are allowed to judge CVs with a minuscule sample of games. If you want to do that go right ahead. But calling someone else out for their lack of games when you yourself can at best produce a negligible amount is hypocrisy of the highest order. As for my personal opinion, yes, technically speaking CVs are for the most part overnerfed. However that only goes to show that the inherent concept of the rework is broken considering if it weren't for the recent nerfs surface ships would stand no chance at all. Even now the situation is rather dubious.

Amusing how you're calling others out for their supposed inexperience when the most battles you have played with one CV is 10. I have to wonder, how exactly does that make you capable of judging all but one of them useless?

Fify. I have yet to see a single match today in which there wasn't least one BB hiding behind CVs. Also hiding behind islands ironically gives CVs the advantage and is therefore idiotic.

"Removing any control from the player towards automation is just wrong." "Nope." I am unsure whether to laugh or cry.

Ofc yes, but I shelve that under WG's incompetence.

To be fair that's more due to WG's incompetence regarding CVs rather than CVs being inherently broken or something along those lines along with basic human nature. I bet WoWs without DDs and CVs would be even more popular.

Don't play DDs.

Midway had 116 planes total, of which around 85 were strike planes as far as I remember. So actually Midway now has substantially more reserves than before.

Actually untrue. Being slower also means a slower exit time, aka being able to turn around earlier to attack again. Attack frequency thus remains unchanged, only the speed of the initial attack would be affected.

That's a Kaga. Her very gimmick is that she has tons of reserves. The downside to her is that her planes are more fragile.

Alright, I actually bothered to watch the entire stream just now, so here's a full transcript. Note that I didn't transcribe word for word but I tried my best to convey the original meaning of everything: Honestly I have no idea why this stream is catching so much flak? I mean yeah, I guess Sir_Nelson seems unsure etc. if you take his words literally but English is clearly not his first language, so taking him literally is kinda stupid to say the least.

1m 47s seems a pretty standard time to last against 2 CVs in any DD tbh. In fact I believe if I could be bothered to start DBs first and have a bit of luck with my drops I could kill a DD faster than that in the Midway alone. So yeah, I don't see how one of the enemy CVs being an Audacious factors into this.

It's almost Mach 3 (3704,4km/h) in fact. 260kn would be 481,52km/h irl, which would mean plane speed is multiplied by a factor of ~7,5.

GZ bombers go approx. 1km per second at a boost speed of 260kn.

I was alone. The only "support" I had was a BB hiding several km behind me. Unneeded from a realism pov. Subs at periscope depth were easily visible from the air.

Which does nothing but ring the dinnerbell for said CV. Had a 2x Minsk div along with a Baltimore wander into gun range of my Enterprise in my last match (I got a bit too greedy in my positioning). For over 3 minutes I was under constant fire from them. Got away with half HP remaining and killed them all. Attempting to hunt down a CV in any ship class except another CV is suicidal if said CV knows what they are doing. Also if you haven't seen it yet ASW capabilities are planned for CVs if those ever become a necessity. That inevitably means CVs will become the best sub hunters as well due to their inherent flexibility and the inevitable lack of AA or team support of a sub.

It was an overall AA buff. The nerfs were extremely slight to the point where you wouldn't notice them in actual gameplay.

Man, I sure love how WG nerfed CVs.
