What GZ needs isn't a buff. She needs a complete rework including a new concept and testing. She's not salvageable in her current state.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ *Edited One time a BB insulted me for not giving him AA cover. I told him my fighters had no ammo left and needed to be rearmed because I killed all planes from the last attack directed at another teammate. His response? "If you hadn't covered him (other teammate), you could've covered me!" Wat.

To those that want to know, textures are applied via an unwrap of the model on a limited square area. You know how e.g. a box can be unfolded into six rectangles? The same happens to 3D models when unwrapped. And because the area is limited you have to cut in breaks if you want the textures to be more detailed (which in turn takes up more space). The texture of the camo is probably just something along the lines of this: which simply gets applied over every part of the ship. Lazy, but effective, which in turn makes it smart. Or to quote everyone's favorite murderbot HK-47: "Cheating seems to be a relevant term only when one is caught in the act. Otherwise it is viewed as intelligence, no?"

Once had a DM cry for AA support. Insulted me when I pointed out he has the best AA in the game.

Probably the fact that this is the only worthwhile arcade game that involves first half 20th century era naval combat.

Oh, trust me, being on the receiving end a couple of times I know. Still, with AP bombs you only need to sacrifice one goat instead of three to achieve desired results. :D

No worries, it's not a nerf if you play well.

I second that recommendation, actually. Enterprise's AP bombs work because you have 2x TBs to hunt down DDs (even with the horrible spread). Doing that with just 1 TB squad is rather tricky. Watching a full HP KM BB simply pop is still funny as hell, though. :D

Apparently the game already couldn't handle Tone, so yeah, sorry to crush your dreams, but Ise is far, far off.

I just I don't even I Wat.

Honestly I'd revamp her completely and maybe bump her down a tier. Refund everyone who bought this abomination. She's pretty much unworkable right now from what I've seen. Fighters will remain weaksauce unless you give them ridiculous squad numbers. Only having DBs is utterly worthless, too. Heck, she was sub-par when she had 3x TBs. Trashing her concept completely and starting anew is the only viable path I see.

Premium time doesn't transfer from WoT to WoWs. At least when I entered the code, I didn't get premium time from it. *inb4 you tell me this is because I'm a CV player*

I asked a simple question. You immediately extrapolated some bs out of it. What a surprise. It's not like I just wrote a few minutes ago that I think it's fine for CVs to be helpless in a competitive setting or sth.

Sounds like you haven't even watched a single competitive game, really. What does a CV sacrifice every time he takes any sort of action in a competitive game?

If you have enough of the "individual skill" part that should automatically create more teamplay. Because skilled people should realize that basic (emphasis on "basic" btw) teamplay not only cancels out any CV damage but is a pretty good way to win. And, as I said previously, competitive WoWs represents that concept to the extreme, where a CV is literally completely and utterly helpless in almost every way. You do not need that much to shut down a CV.

Which goes back to the enemy team consisting of scrubs. Just a minute ago you wanted to tell me that this isn't a problem concerning noobs or good players.

If any sentence you ever spouted proves that you have no clue what you're talking about, it's this one. Please, explain to me how I'm capable of carrying in a CV against equally skilled players that know not to go off alone and stick together? I mean, I can deny the enemy CV, that's about it. Scouting at best applies to only capital ships, DDs will know not to overextend themselves by moving too far away from their team. Cruisers are a coin toss, there are plenty around that have an air spotting range that is either equal or better than their AA range (and most of them have great AA to boot). Damage dealing becomes next to impossible unless my own team can create an opening for me. And that's the way it's supposed to be. It's only in 1v1 situations that CVs will outshine any other equal tiered ship barring AA cruisers regardless of skill. And, because they're supposed to enforce teamplay, it's fine that way. Refuse to play with your team? Shouldn't be surprising to get punished for it in a team game.

AA needs complete overhaul, I agree. But demanding CVs to be changed so you can sail around alone and completely disregard your team is laughable considering the game's inherent concept. Because the best games are balanced solely around stats. Oh wait. "Oh yeah, a player with an AWP is capable of shutting down teams of noobs completely on its own, better nerf it" - said no CS developer ever "Cheesing is OP because no scrub ever scouts, thus it must be nerfed" - said no SC developer ever I have explained where high CV average stats come from. I have even calculated numbers to prove one of the aspects. Every time you disregard them because acknowledging you're wrong doesn't fit your pitiful agenda. But hey, have fun with the new RN BBs! They embody exactly the ideal you're striving for after all. Since you do not care if you're ruining the game or not you must be embracing the path WG is taking.

GZ's concept was inherently flawed from the very beginning. Having a CV that cannot fight for air superiority is a big no go as USN CVs have demonstrated time and time again. She was going to suck even with 3x TBs. Giving her DBs only is just insult to injury.

Not really. To be exact, I understand your viewpoint. I really do. Because you're pretty much a reflection of me before I started playing CVs. "Making CVs not OP" would require them to be overpowered in the first place. They're not. They have a very specific skill set regarding damage that is countered easily. You're not supposed to be able to go toe to toe with planes in anything other than an AA cruiser because you've failed to play with your team or the enemy team played really well with theirs. They're here to enforce teamplay. Whether you like it or not is up to you, but demanding that to be changed requires a massive redesign of the game.

I was at gamescom last year. Problem was that everyone had a set time to play, so if you get cut off at the beginning of a battle you were forced by staff to go afk. It's not always the fault of the people wanting to play.

Does that change anything? At the end of the day you still want to remove the teamplay element of a team game. Which is utterly moronic but hey, whatever floats your boat. Because obviously I only play CVs. Oh, wait.

Ranger made me stop my USN CV grind. It's simply godawful when you're used to Hiryu.

Fify. And as I said, it's not really a nerf.

Welp, if they kept her the way she was during testing I guess my Enterprise will have some Clear Skies to farm during the next few weeks. No big announced on the front page about her release, tho?
