That wasn't the question. The question was whether or not it is fun, to which almost everyone will answer "no".

Income is calculated by percentage of damage done. All of your damage is on BBs and cruisers with over half of it on a single target. Naturally that doesn't yield you a lot of income.

Two Quick Questions about Midway and Essex.
El2aZeR replied to Battleship_USS_Arizona's topic in Aircraft Carriers
Even with "only" T8 fighters Essex will wipe the floor with a Taiho in a click fight or a head-on strafe. On the other hand it will make Essex more vulnerable to AA, so both CVs are capable of outplaying each other. That way a state of balance in terms of air control is achieved at least theoretically. -
I believe karma actually has influence on how many reports you need before you get chat banned. I tend to be... let's say "highly unfriendly" when I see my team screwing up, yet I have never been chat banned (my karma is currently over 800. Don't ask me how). Then we have this example where apparently a couple of reports from one player is enough. That or if you've been chat banned previously the game puts you on a long probation period in which you'll need less reports to get chat banned. Maybe it's even a combination of both. Who knows?

Though we should really update it, considering very few things have not been buffed in the favor of BBabies. -
Nah, you don't. Counterstrafing has literally no penalty. No worries, pretty sure those aren't meant to be serious. :)
-
Which is why they are currently so bad. A CV that cannot fulfill all three fundamental roles is a bad CV that shouldn't be played. There is no compromise to be made here. Even WG has realized that and is thankfully about to change it. The extra fighter along with some actual strike potential means that you can pull enemy fighters out of position if needed, granting you air control. Your game sense matters little without actual experience. You have shown painfully clear that you do not have the slightest idea what you are talking about in regards of this game, punctuated by your last statement. Consider this a monument to your own personal failure to understanding CV play. Or this game's design in general. If you don't consider fighters a critical part then no mechanic in this game is critical in your eyes. All classes are (or rather should be) reliant on each other along with being capable of fighting themselves, even insinuating that CVs should be made an exception to one of the very fundamentals this game is built upon is idiocy beyond comprehension.
-
And reduce your strike potential? Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. The addition of the extra fighter means that USN CVs can for the first time effectively pursue all three of a CVs essential roles: Contest air, scout and deal damage. Well, you technically speaking don't need 3 out of 4 classes either. WoWs would function perfectly well with only a single class with a couple of tweaks. Arguing on that basis is absolutely idiotic. Of course you can remove features from this game and still make it work until you've literally made a carbon copy of Pong. Even that you can probably further simplify. Fighters add an extra layer to CV gameplay that is sorely needed. Without them they become the only class with no interaction ability with itself, which is incredibly dumb in its own right, along with turning their gameplay into a ridiculously stupid damage race. If you think they're not fun to deal with, good! That's how it is supposed to be. If you think they're not fun to play with, suck it up. It's just your own personal opinion with not a single foundation in game design nor balance.
-
They have their place in competitive. Maybe they should actually be locked to competitive, but the need is there even if it's small compared to the vast amount of battles fought in random.
-
As I said, if all you can do is bait then boy do I have some bad news for you. And leave the enemy CV to spot all your teammates? Brilliant idea! Totally negated the impact of the enemy! Now to be fair AS setups without any strike potential are indeed idiotic and will thankfully soon be removed. Fighters themselves however have a place in this game, whether you like it or not.
-
Yeah, if that's the only thing you can come up with there is no hope for you. If you think fighters are making the game less fun for you as a CV then that means the concept has proven itself as effective, thus deserves to stay in the game. Any additional anti-surface ability would be absolutely worthless as it would distract them from their actual task, thus become a noob trap only inexperienced scrubs will use. Game mechanics are not only about having fun, especially not in a PvP game. Fighters are making CV play less fun and/or more difficult for you? Good, because they're designed to do so. And I'm sure the other guy who is shooting down your planes is having plenty of fun, unlike you.

I'm doing this from memory so there may be small discrepancies. I tried a lot of different setups since I had trouble killing her as well. -
Not for much longer.
-
Yeah, if you're incapable of recognizing or capitalizing on opportunities (or, if necessary, force them open yourself) then removing fighters will be the only thing that helps you. Just another victim of a long line of features because people like you do not know how to play the game. Absolutely brilliant.
-
Fighters are in the game to ruin your fun. It's in essence their entire design principle. As a PvP game WoWs is not made to be fun for everyone. Fun is inevitably derived from ruining the fun of someone else. Stop with this ridiculous notion that you should have fun regardless of how bad you are at the game or how hard you're getting outplayed. Also whether you have fun using your fighters is entirely subjective. I certainly think it's fun playing with them. So if someone is spending their time chasing after your planes, USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. Bait your enemy into friendly AA. Set up traps and use strafes. Drop your bombs on your DBs and have your enemy chase them around forever. There is literally so much you could be doing in such a situation but you chose to come here to whine about how you've failed at playing CVs. Incredible, really.

Option 1: Switch to IJN. Option 2: Wait for the loadout rework.

When a player is so bad he complains about bots cheating. Nothing about this playerbase surprises me anymore.

You can't see the main armor deck of high tier USN BBs anymore. They have infinitely better deck armor in both thickness and scheme than KM BBs, so they are highly resistant to AP bomb citadel hits.

Yuo see Ivan, when BB overpopulation is problem, only need to replace all cruisers with BBs so BB overpopulation is no longer problem but feature! Is perfect sense comrade xaxaxaxaxaxa! -
Even the lowest tier planes (aka some of the first carrier-based planes) have irl top speeds that far exceed the ingame speed of even T10 aircraft. So yeah, that's not exactly an option. For example, a F3F biplane fighter (Langley upgraded fighters) has a top speed of 229kn. An ingame F8F fighter (Midway upgraded fighters) flies at 181kn.

I FINALLY [EDITED] KILLED HER. (Does this make me sound like a psychopath? ) Now, onward to the end! On a different note, stumbled upon this. EDIT: For the love of RNGesus, those LBAS losses you suffer against the final boss are seriously painful (though not exactly unexpected). Is there any way to reduce them? -
Using DFAA is now cheating. This playerbase never ceases to amaze me.
