If Shokaku is any indication, you get citadels quite often on same tier targets. Didn't pay attention whether you get pens in addition tho but I would assume such. Can't bring myself to waste cash on Haku when I can just be playing Midway.

You can't. With current CVs USN AP bombs don't have the penetration power necessary to citadel T9+ BBs with FdG being the sole exception. And Bismarck/Tirpitz surviving on a sliver of health happens more often than you think.

Does happen from time to time, yes.

Oh whoops, totally misread that. Thought you're talking about reworked CVs. xD Yeah, with current CVs even something like a Tirpitz will usually murder a squad when I decide to attack him with my Midway.

You can choose to enhance your AA on one side. That doesn't mean the AA on the other side will be gone entirely, just weaker. How much and how long it takes to enhance your AA is dependent on what class you play. Kinda. Though tbh even against enhanced AA and DFAA I've had no trouble getting my strike through. Likewise enhancing AA at the right time and using DFAA hasn't been the most reliable method of scoring plane kills in a Worcester. AA in itself is practically worthless against a skilled CV unless you stack it with several ships, although even that does not guarantee your safety. If he manages to get into an attack position you're ed regardless.

Mid and long range AA don't fire when you're too close to the ship. So yeah, DBs are pretty much the safest plane type to use.

Huh, that's actually pretty interesting. Makes me wonder if current AP bombs can do that as well. Also PSA: If you're under attack by fighters you can cheese them by squeezing in one attack (if you've already arrived at your desired target area) then abandoning your squad. Fighters will be gone by the time you return. Aka it's a complete waste of time to even remotely attempt protecting your teammates. You're much better off attacking and trading damage/kills.

When you see an AA cruiser before the CV rework: When you see an AA cruiser after the CV rework:

Which is impossible UNLESS Haku scored 3 penetrations in addition to citadels. Haku AP bomb individual alpha strike is 9600. Her wing attacks 3 planes at a time, each equipped with one bomb. That leaves her maximum alpha at 28,8k. But if she scores penetrations in addition to citadels with all 3 bombs we're looking at 38,4k.

Kek. (One of these bombs didn't even deal damage due to destroying a torp mount.)

Yup. So that either means they're going to give 32mm belts/decks to all cruisers or they're intending to buff low-mid tier cruisers while high tier ones remain the same. And depending on the armor threshold they choose this is either going to be a dramatic buff or a hilarious nerf.

That may very well be a nerf in disguise. Unless they cross the 32mm threshold any armor increase will only lead to more penetration damage taken.

Considering the general consensus in the feedback thread is that reworked CVs are useless, yeah, they probably will. Whether that's in the way you're hoping for on the other hand.....

Oh, you have no idea. Skilled reworked CVs absolutely dominate the battlefield in ways you can only dream of in RTS CVs. The ability to strike and kill anything wherever you want, whenever you want is hilarious. Meanwhile potato CVs are actually more useless in the rework than in RTS. I'm not even joking.

Here's what my chart looks like so far:

If you and/or your team cannot handle AA divs then you deserve to lose. And I'm saying that as a solo player. The human factor is irrelevant to balance, because it is precisely what is supposed to decide games. Also 3 CVs coordinating together in the rework is hilarious.

You are expecting people to not only understand but actively pursue teamplay in this team game. Therein lies the problem.

I mean, considering BBs are the primary victims of the CV rework maybe they're actually going to need these buffs. The NC I almost deleted with a single Midway DB strike will surely think so.

So.... does exp progress get reset as well? Because if it doesn't I could technically speaking get rid of e.g. Shokaku, Taiho and Haku then research them again using the millions of exp I got stored up on them.

CV rework necessitates this. Currently you can just instagib BBs left and right if RNGesus loves you.

Lexington F4U Corsairs have two Tiny Tims overlapping on one wing while the other wing is empty.

EDIT: whoops wrong thread This is what I get for having so many tabs open. Though to add my opinion to this: How about no?

CV test server also seems to suffer from severe sync issues. E.g. I saw a Cleve standing still so I lined up a drop, just when I released my ordinance said Cleve suddenly teleported several kilometers forward.

The reticle for Dive Bombers doesn't adjust to speed changes. Your bombs will fall far forward if you use boost.

[WARNING] The CV rework client seems to have severe issues with memory leaks just like what we've already experienced at the beginning of this year. To avoid this make sure to restart your client after every second battle or so.
