If you haven't noticed, there are aircraft in WT. And lone aircraft can kill ships pretty easily from what I've seen. An aircraft carrier doesn't make sense as a playable class in WT because aircraft are all controlled individually.

This was mentioned in one of WG's videos previously but I never got around to testing this until just now due to my distaste of reworked IJN CVs. Basically what you do is make the AP bombs behave like normal AP shells by attacking from the side and holding your drop as long as possible. Demonstration: So if you see someone make a sideways approach with AP bombs, angle away immediately or suffer the consequences.

I suggest increasing the penetration of AP bombs on the Enterprise but also make their fuses less sensitive. As it stands she can citadel pretty much all cruisers in her MM spread yet only very few BBs.

Tfw people tell you that Atlanta still has strong AA Here, take a look at this: Oh, look at those red flak bursts. That Atlanta had DFAA active. None of my RFs even fell below yellow. And I don't run the RF plane health upgrade. AND Enterprise has T7 planes. Everything has strong AA against CVs who can't dodge. Against CVs who can very few ships can deny air strikes effectively and they need a full AA build for it.

Literally every match I've played so far in 0.8.0 has been like this one way or another.

T4 and T6 are basically made to over cruisers and DDs. There isn't all that much you can do against BBs aside from gambling on DoT. I would say overall the potential match influence of CVs has actually been nerfed - in so far that you cannot shut down the enemy CV anymore. The match is still largely decided by the better CV first and foremost, all that changed is that it's a pure damage race now.

Basically yes. Flak walls always appear in front of your plane and do so in a manner that always gives you the same time to react regardless of how fast you are going. I just uploaded a video that demonstrates this quite handily I believe: You also need to be able to differentiate between what flak is purely visual noise and what can actually hit you. Can get quite difficult at times but it is something you should be able to gain with experience. Also your planes always "explode" when transitioning from one health state to another (green to yellow and yellow to red), don't take this as an indication that you need to maneuver.

That's actually a pretty good question. I have no idea. @MrConway?

Well, you clearly haven't met me in randoms yet. Jokes aside, it appears to me that the vast majority of people simply have no idea how to play when they are practically permanently spotted and constantly attacked by aircraft, leading to mass attempts at kiting away from targets 20km distant all the way to the border. Also I had plenty of times when BBs tried to hide from aircraft behind my CV. Then again BBs hiding behind my CV is something I'm more than used to by now. ¬_¬

Quite frankly I have yet to play a match in which this didn't happen one way or another. Tends to result in my team going full and rush into the enemy team one by one, too. And god forbid they catch a glimpse of the enemy CV, that's a guaranteed loss for sure.

Irian gets nuked by Enterprise AP bombs like almost every cruiser. Just saying.

Answer is in the other thread you literally created 10 minutes ago. What compelled you to open another thread is beyond me. It is still a BTD Destroyer. The name still pops up next to your plane health bar as it does for every aircraft and it is also still displayed in port. And quite frankly I don't see what is supposed to be wrong with the textures.

It seems that the update made every crawl out of their hole and play the game again. Literally every loss I suffered today playing CVs was a horrendous throw.

That's a BTD Destroyer. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_BTD_Destroyer As should have been obvious considering the name of the aircraft is right next to the health bar. Or you could have just checked it in port.

The question now is how they will change it. Will they listen to all the complaints about CVs being too weak or will they listen to all the complaints about CVs ruining the game? Place your bets now!

Honestly the CV rework is reminding me once again why I hate this playerbase. Literally every time I kill DDs early the ed s on my team instantly believe they have won and either rush into the enemy team one by one or camp in the back, giving up every cap in the process. Or go off chasing the enemy CV. Literally every match I've lost so far has been a horrendous throw in one of these ways. I should stop giving my team the initial advantage every game I play.

Your move.

A few of my suggestions: - Increase Midway HVAR loadout by 1 rocket Purely aesthetic choice so the rocket loadout on each wing is symmetrical. Just a pet peeve of mine. - Reduce continuous AA just a little bit Continuous AA power seems just a little too strong right now. If I dodge all flak bursts of one lone same tier target I should be rewarded with being able to use all my strikes. As it is right now the last wing will get shot down before it can drop against pretty much anything except DDs. Alternatively you can increase general plane speed a little. - Increase accuracy of AP bombs Nothing is more jarring than to get a perfect attack run in but fail to hit anything due to RNG. - DB bomb reticle still doesn't represent actual spread I've had plenty of times when bombs would just land outside of the reticle. - Buff Midway TBs Even using the rudder, which btw can happen whether you want it or not due to the way you designed your control scheme, will increase the spread massively. The damage is fine, but either buff aiming speed, spread sensitivity or distance until ready to drop back to PTS levels. DO NOT BUFF ALL THREE! - Enterprise F6F Hellcats are mislabeled as F4U Corsairs Self-explanatory. Please fix.

Is it just me or does the sight of a CV make everyone go full ? Just lost another game in which my team threw because they went off chasing the enemy CVs literally around the map. EDIT: And another one. And again. Can we like remove CVs from the map and make planes fly in from the border to prevent this please? After all CVs are almost unkillable nowadays anyway. Clearly the average player cannot comprehend that chasing a CV is a stupid thing to do.

The days of Kidds molesting my waifu are over. Now my waifu molests Kidds. On a more serious note, expecting your previously no fly zone DD to do anything against a skilled CV player now is at best wishful thinking.

HVAR = master race TiTs are for harassing BBs but you have DBs for that.

Generally speaking though you want to misdirect AA into shooting where you don't want to go. Kinda like this: This includes when you are exiting your attack, turn immediately after you drop as otherwise your squad will continue on their path, making them susceptible flak bursts. Also do not slow down immediately as that can make flak spawn almost directly on top of you. Midway torps are practically useless against everything but BBs and CVs. Their reticle is now ridiculously sensitive and their distance to drop has been increased so cross dropping is more difficult (but still possible). Personally I only use them against CVs as your bombs and rockets shatter on the armored flight deck (if you have to use those aim for the island). Spam rockets and bombs against everything else. If you get a bit of practice in it HE DBs are devastatingly effective against DDs too, being easily able to shave off half their health in one attack. I found that fires are still pretty easy to get with HE DBs. Somewhat more unreliable with rockets now but it still happens often enough.

Use mouse movement to adjust your viewing angle. Please be aware that sideways movement also controls your rudder.
