Honestly they should just give people the ability to buy premium ships back for the regular silver price.

Remember when @MrConway said there are people using IFHE on Mino? That is pretty much why this feature has to exist and cannot be disabled. (Then again WG has also shown in the official Armada video that you apparently need Expert Rear Gunner on KGV ) As for IFHE on BBs to go full secondary, the text doesn't actually lie. It is in fact inefficient because secondary usage is situational at best, especially in the current meta.

Obligatory

So basically "LOL I DONT WANNA PLAY FOR THE WIN! I WANNA PLAY FOR PHUN!!!1111" Sure, you can do that, but then you deserve to lose. Simple as that. Also two BBs camping bow on to each other and trading shots for 10 minutes until one finally gets enough pens/overpens to kill the other is the most boring thing ever. CVs being able to punish such a ridiculously stupid playstyle and camping in general is likely one of the biggest reasons why they're hated so much in the current camping meta as you're demonstrating quite nicely.

Pretty hilarious actually. She's pretty much the best frontline CL out there now especially in W12 where you meet tons of aircraft. Now I can only hope best waifu Enterprise will get a refit. Then again she's already so broken that she may as well be considered UR.

No I'm not. Striking becomes next to impossible against any kind of competence while air cover only affects one ship, namely the enemy CV. Scouting is thus the only thing left and while powerful isn't enough to single-handedly win games. If that were not the case then how come AA divs work so well? Just two AA ships played competently are more than enough to shut down a CV.

Even more reason to take waifu out to dinner play Enterprise? Yes please.

NUMBAH WAN! Also rip coins.

How is your avatar even allowed?

It doesn't. Potato BBs will still go there no matter what you do.

I mean, most random players are worse than bots tho? That's one of the primary reasons why CVs dominate in the first place. Just sayin'.

Which will also mean teams will have to cuddle their CVs again to prevent them from being sniped. Ah, the incredibly dynamic games of old when you had to hug your Bogue that can go 16.5kn tops, only to get sniped anyway because low tier AA was (and still is for the most part) worthless. Good times. On a more serious note, the solutions that WG is most likely to go with are: - just giving CVs murderous AA. - giving them permanent murderous fighter cover. - just placing the CV off the map and have planes fly in. Also means you won't have to deal with all the problems created by not being able to control the hull directly.

- has his team obliterated by a RANGER of all things - comes to the forum to complain Let me guess, you all tried to rush somewhere one by one that allowed a Ranger, THE worst CV tier for tier which needs 3 to 4 minutes to cycle a strike with a single TB and 2 pitiful DBs, take you down one by one. Instead of just sticking together for AA cover and win by points. Thank you for demonstrating how incompetent your team was. To say that you didn't deserve to win is an understatement. Pretty sure that's final gameplay considering it's already in testing. Stuff might be tweaked, but I highly doubt the actual core gameplay is going to change much as that literally wouldn't make sense. IF core gameplay changes then that actually means the current iteration of the rework has failed. Ironically this is a community induced problem. "OMG FIGHTERS ARE COMPLETELY USELESS CVS ARE SO TOXIC ONLY STRIKING AND NO AIR COVER WG DO SOMETHING!" - WG introduces strafing to make fighters useful "OMG PEOPLE CAN DODGE STRAFES AND JUST LOCK MY FIGHTERS AND I CANT WIN EZ PZ WG DO SOMETHING!" - WG introduces strafing out "OMG NOW POTATO CV IS COMPLETELY USELESS GJ WG YOU SUCK!" And now we're reverting to striking only again. Big surprise there.

It's not even a sidegrade. Literally your only advantage is heal and the T9 upgrade slot. Everything else is either the same or worse. Seattle is a straight up downgrade I can wholeheartedly recommend people to skip.

My finger. It hurts.

Ah, that actually explains a lot. Just when you think average player skill can't get any worse...

We had all three caps. Had.

Me neither, but in the minds of these people the 1 dev strike they get once in a blue moon is proof of concept that it works. The complete CV potatoes also find success from time to time thanks to the abysmal standard of play. In fact I reckon a potato CV is gonna be much more successful than a potato Shima due to that. Getting a successful auto drop on a straight lining potato is hardly rare. The Graf Zeppelin debacle showed a pretty clear picture of what the average player wants out of a CV. So yeah, that's probably the direction WG is going to move towards.

Thing is AA literally denies everything you do. With a Shima you can have success eventually even if you are spamming 20km torps. That's not the case with aircraft - AA interaction. And if you can't be successful with minimal effort, the average player won't play.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood If you have time to watch a movie, Kimi No Na Wa is stellar.

I read somewhere that AA stat also reduces the amount of damage you take from air strikes. No idea if that's true tho. EDIT: Ah, nvm, it's actually on the wiki page. Silly me.

That's quite simple. If AA is too strong, CVs are going to be useless, thus no one but the truly dedicated or the beyond abysmal will play CVs, creating the same situation as we have now. Remember, the premier goal of the rework is to make CVs as popular as the other classes. You're not going to do that by making their counters too strong.

Oh wait, forgot Clemson.
