    CV players - need advise

    The pen thing is wrong, Conway said it on stream that pen is constant. you can devstike a cruiser with HE?

    Ditto, it makes the reticule smaller. But with enterprise AP bombs, I hear you are meant to stop with 2 sec left on the drop, but I find waiting late with those gives good results, am I an idiot?

    Lunar New Year Containers

    So if you do buy these crates, you could just get the camoflages for a premium ship you don't own?

    Ah ok, but is keeping the centre of the ship half way between the centre and the edge of the inner circle a good approximation?
  5. Sorry, I had to set a cut off date, and I can't add to it without introducing bias into the numbers. Details can be found here:

    Thank you, btw how far do you aim off centre in the USN HEs? I was always aiming dead centre when I was in my midway....

    @El2aZeR quick question, should I be aiming for slightly off centre with DBs? I heard on Reddit you should...

    weren't the FSW ones pretty good?

    MUSASHI, bring her back

    IMHO the Smolensk is not a good ship all she has is guns, the rest is “meh”. please be careful how you phrase that the mushy’s armor is pretty good, not exceptional.
  11. This poll wasn't that informative, you should have specified directly if included 'paid' crates or not, some people have said they didnt include them, and others said they got more than 10, which MUST have been from paid for crates.

    Ark Royal or Kaga for a CV noob?

    I don't quite support that, CVs can also spot, so a flat out damage nerf might sometimes encourage some CVs to hold back a bit. which might boost their utility. And true, you could design the planes around it. My current hope is that Enty's DBs AP arming distance is sufficient to drop CVs at periscope depth and score penetrating hits. IMO the CV rework was possibly a bad idea in that CVs are still strategic, but they don't really engage with your friendly team at all. You're just constantly 'solving the puzzle' of which plane can do the most damage where. I find this fun. However it is not fun for the surface ships who cannot do their solo big plays. It is a skill leveller for surface ships in a game, as they are yoked to their team mates. This criticism is slightly different from yours as I understand it. My mitigating fact is that I usually find that players who know how to dodge me, cause me huge problems, I suspect I could fix it by getting someone to explain it to me properly, but I struggle to get the perfect drops off especially in the early game. I am always stunned at both how hard it is to get damage on good players and how most players do not know how to react. In fairness, without playing CVs, there is no real 'feedback loop' to explain to surface ship mains how to avoid either DBs or rocket planes, so most players seem to view them almost as acts of god, and do nothing to avoid them. ps I consider myself an Enterprise main and most of this comes from playing her.

    Ark Royal or Kaga for a CV noob?

    I’d make two points: 1: any nerf to CVs would reduce their ability to hit surface ships 2: potentially not if it forces CVs to make choices... thinking about it I don’t think they would do that if they couldn’t guarantee subs in a game, they’d have to rebalance for 2 types of planes being usable while not being OP when 3 are..

    Ark Royal or Kaga for a CV noob?

    Could you explain why?
  15. You're not even the most 'lucky' person here... I thought i was bad spending £110 on this game over 3 years....
  16. Damn, either some people here have the luck of the gods, or the credit card of Croesus. I've won no premium ships from WG (excluding direct marathons) with the exception of the silver French t6 DD from the early release event. This is despite completing multiple sets of directives for free containers and buying 6 premium Black Friday boxes. I did buy the Murmansk using in game currency but that doesn't count...

    Another bug, you don't see your pings during the countdown, i don't know if anyone else can see them, but you get the 'too many pings' message if you do it too much. edit: this is map pings, ie ctrl clicking the mini map

    No the question was if we want the autumn season reward, ie the decal and t6 container do we have to complete it again.
