Exactly... to raise the % of CV players in the game we should have 12 vs 12 CV battles... only.

At least during the journeys Captain Cook did in the pacific each sailor got rations of 4.4 liters of beer and when there was bad weather also 0.5 liters each day. So.. Yeah, at least those scientific expedition ships probably as much pubs as ships... I guess the rations were a bit smaller in the Royal Navy probably...

Finally a post by You that I can agree to. Atleast only to the quoted statement, of course

And I can't wait for the time, when people get fed up with playing other classes, so there's only CVs and Subs in random battles, because everyone else plays modes in which these two classes either aren't present or harmless (CoOp)... Would great to take a DD into those battles and just.. well... watch the chaos...

WR is the only important stat. As Yourself stated: "I am scoring above 60k damage consistently and mostly remain in top 3 scorers on my team, but my WR for that entire line is below 35%" which proves that doing damage is not enough to win battles. Usually players that concentrate on doing damage neglect playing for the important thing, like defending their cap, supporting their allies, trying to win the battle... and suchlike. So no, damage and PR - which is based on damage nearly inclusively - don't mean sh*t. Except that getting a Unicorn PR in a won battle feels f*cking nice...

...or like that was the message I got yesterday when I logged into the game. So... what have I missed? Would I've had got a super-duper-trooper OP ship as a gift? Or a container, giving me one flag? Anyone able to tell me more?

I'm also not too sure about the ability of carrier operated torpedo bombers to carry and launch two torpedoes... but hey, this is an action game and not a serious simulation... so it would probably also okay when they would drop dolphins filled with explosives to attack ships, right?!?

Easy to answer: Yes Okay, bragging time again... was lucky enough to win 5 of 6 today. And my best battle came again in my Krispy Kreme... I was especially glad to manage to get these two fellows: Still it got a bit tight in the end. About 8 minutes before the battle was supposed to end the enemy team was ahead in points and held 3 caps to our one. They had the Fujin (~25% HP), the Montecuccoli (~10% HP), the Fuso (~25% HP) and their Furious (~30% hp). My team consisted of my KK (~70% HP) and our Ryujo (~70% HP). The Fuso and Montecuckoo were on the far side of the map, the Fujin had just capped the D cap right in front of me, sitting in smoke outside of Hydro range, while moved to D while trying to stay of the Fuso's sight and dodging several plane attacks. And the Furious decided to move towards D, too, to be able to attack me faster. When I shoved the Fujin out of the D cap and started to re-cap it the Ryujo gave me AA support with fighters and managed to spot the Fujin, which I sank with some salvos. The Furious seemed have had expected to have me sunk by that time, as it got way too forward, in fact he tried to keep me from re-capping D by moving into the cap behind an island. Not the only mistake he made, as he also misjudged the KKs ability to wiggle through torp attacks... shortly later I was able to stuff a lot of HE shells into his already badly damaged ship and sank him, too. After finishing the capping we were slightly ahead (~30 pts or so) so I found me a nice spot behind an island, from which I could the fiery rainbows of love towards the last two surviving enemies, while the Ryujo sent wave after wave (reduced in numbers..) of planes towards them. Took some more salvos to finally take down the Montecuckoo - didn't wiggle enough, that poor sod. And the Fuso decided to go Full Hero, steaming full throttle towards D, to make the - now - impossible possible. I managed to get some shots in and destroyed some more AA on him and in the end it was some aerial torp giving him the rest and securing our win. That double-kill I scored happened early in the battle, when I managed to sink the Jianwei and the Farragut when the tried to take the D cap. Nice battle, interesting right unto the end.

I rather think it's strange the french ships are included on the Allies' side. Afaik they were also mostly rotting in harbour, until they got bombed by the British... weren't they?

And all You had to give up the privacy for Your phone... and to WG send you "interesting" SMS with "interesting informations"...

Y'know, religion is only opium for the masses, right? So asking us to pray for You is an utterly un-communistic thing... so... maybe... choose a side - can't be both. Without going into the mathematics or -gods beware - statistics quagmire, that is flawed... because You don't account for all those days when You managed to win 14 in a row. Like if when I would say: Oooh... I won 5 of 6 today.. and 3 of 4 two days ago... and 4 of two days before that... and ignoring the fact that the three days I didn't mention with 42%, 40% and 50% winrate...

Sooo... CV gain an invulnability and speed buff... and only lose the ability to spot enemy ships themselves. Yeah, balanced... and... ...so CVs get no really de-buff, because it's more or less as it's now, except for DDs, who get royally f*cked, as the spotting range was increased from "AA range" to "gun range" which is a teeny-weeny difference... only a couple km or so... nothing serious... Yeah, this looks like the kind of "nerf" WG might even implement. Looks like a doable and feasible "nerf" for CVs. So there's no chance that WG will implement anything like that.

Hadn't that happen to me yet.. but I would be glad for the chance to tell that kid he'd have to stick his wiener into an urn, as my mother is dead and cremated for a couple years already. Well, bots on either CoOp team aren't able to complain or get toxic, I guess... And CoOp isn't really something to enranged about anyway. Most battles can be played when half asleep and/or drunk...

Many of the people posting in this thread would like to see something like that. Some of them even do play CVs themselves. But it will not happen and the reason for that has been mentioned quite a few times in this thread already: WG wants a certain % of CVs in the game, alas it doesn't seem to matter what tier those CVs are.. the total number or % is important to report to their superiors that "CV reeework was a success" WG knows that changing the CVs into something more complicated or less powerful - like by making them unable to attack any ships whenever they want to or reduce their power to inflict damage without having to bother with consequences - will reduce the amount and/or % of players being ready to play CVs as many of them are only ready to play this class when they can boost their stats with them.. and a lower number or % of CV players... see above even though the CV reeework was f*cked up utterly, players aren't leaving the game in significant numbers or get replaced by new players with not yet plundered purses. So WG isn't losing a signifant amount of money by ignoring the complains of those few players (compared to the total number of players) posting here on the forum. So until that changes and player numbers shrink by a lot, WG won't change anything

Random battles... 20% of teammates don't speak english... 20% don't look at the chat anyway 20% would not agree with anything proposed in chat and rather do their own thing, thank you very much 20% propose tactically utterly useless actions/targets/opinions 20% just do what the ship in front of them does, so they never do what is proposed in chat 20% don't know what spotting/radar/crossfires mean. Or BB/DD/CV.. or what the WASD keys are for.. 20% just want to see their guns go BOOM and giggle happily whenever they manage to even hit something Disclaimer: players can belong to several of the above groups, so the total can be higher than 100% I mean, really? Teamwork in Randoms???

I'm only a mediocre DD player... well... a mediocre player at most in all classes... and I don't use SE globally... if these few HP gained by it would make a difference between life and death of my ship, I have f*cked up anyway and they would not really matter. So rather try to not f*ck up... and sometimes manage it.

Jeeez... alone for that I had to choose the "Don't really give a **** what you do." and to utterly confuse You, I will - if I meet You in the future - not only give You the courtesy +1 Karma for being a Forumite, but also a negreb -1 for... whatever... probably the "plays bad" reason or so, as it doesn't mean anything anyway...

Have to do a bit of bragging once again... Sooo... nice damage. And two solo caps... not really worth bragging, though. Well, two minutes before this there still were three enemy BBs around. Then I managed my only kill in the battle - the New Mexico... And yes, I burned that poor fellow down. About 29k fire damage done against him. Weird battle, with only 9 ships per team - due to "faildivisions" of T4/5 ships on either team - and a great reluctancy to cap, which in a Domination Mode battle on Strait doesn't really help... Luckily I managed to find a nice little island to hide from all those nasty BBs and happily went dakka-dakka-dakka sending pink rainbows of fire at any enemy ship that I got in my range... Fifteen minutes into the battle my team was down to me, the badly damaged Bayern and the Fuso, which was far away from us other two, getting harassed by a Kongo, the König and the Kaiser. The enemy team held the northern cap and the middle cap, with the New Mexico getting molested by me and the Bayern. They also were ahead by points slightly. The New Mexico tried to defend the cap in the middle, but had to retreat due to me being able to send shells from behind my island at him. So he sneaked into that passage between the islands bordering the middle cap. The Bayern started capping and I also advanced into the cap. The Fuso managed to sink the enemy Kongo, but seconds later our Bayern got sunk by the New Mexico. So it was 2 vs 3 now, with our Fuso yelling for support and down to 20% HP or so. But to win I had to take the central cap. Luckily the New Mexico decided to not come for me - probably fearing torps? - but creeped around the island to the cap I had taken earlier, allowing me to really take the central cap. Right then the Fuso got sunk... so it's me against the whole world (in form of three BBs, two of which were half a map away and the third trying to reach our cap and take it from us... 3:39 minutes left... I had to sink at least one BB to get our points high enough to win the battle - the cap points would have not been enough... So I carefully went after the New Mexico. I knew it was badly damaged and I was sure to be able to take it down. So steaming ahead full throttle between the islands, then toward our cap - thanks RPF for showing me the New Mexico was going - I got my target in my view. Dakka-dakka-dakka... fire... doused... a half salvo AP coming my way, but shotgun accuracy and the armour of the Mighty Krispy Kremetm made me survive it. So again Dakka-dakka-dakka time... and another fire started... guns blazing I pulled closer to the New Mexico, survived four half-broadsides (he fired front turrets and rear turrets seperately, due to reload and angle and whatnot..) coming at me (all AP - not a good idea against the KK) and then I managed to get him down... One minute left... So I ran... put islands between and the enemy surviving two BBs and me and just let the time... run... down... and got the win by ~75 points or so. So.. worth bragging? Maybe not... but... ...this was what PotatoAlert told me about my team (left) and the enemy team (right). In my team I was the only player with an average winrate above 46%. On the enemy team were only three players with an average winrate below 46%. So... Yeah, I brag about being veteran enough (for once...) to carry a full bag of potatoes on my shoulders and over the goal line...

B.. b... but don't they always "America first!" - so of course the USofA have to be the #1 in the "Stupid People of the World" list.

Using the W key to move forward while in ship mode works. A,S and D keys, too. Use those to let your bow show to where you want to go and then start planes.. adjust before starting the next squadron.. easy..

Maybe I'm just lucky enough to avoid certain triggers in the chatban routine? Nah, thanks but no thanks. I guess if I would just raise my rage level and use some different vocabulary I'd probably could manage it on my own. It's just that I usually abstain from some of the more ban-worthy used words. And stuff like "11 players - 1 single braincell" seems to not be banworthy probably...

Just go google and look for "gorilla glue challenge" and You might rethink that... I think (!) it was a single flag... not sure though, as I didn't pay attention...

Soooo... poor helpless *cough* need some automatic sub defense system? How about... No! Just dodge...

I have to inform You, that braincells are distributed by nature. Intelligence on the other hand is a globally limited resource - think of it as an invisible sphere all around earth - that is then divided among all humans inhabiting earth. There more humans, the less intelligence is left for each one. If someone dies their intelligence returns into that pool to be distributed again... Luckily You keep the amount that you was born with (except in case of medical problems and suchlike...) which makes me, born 1960 on an Earth with only 3 billion inhabitants, the lucky one compared to someone born - for example - 1999, when Earth had already 6 billion people living on her. Well.. lucky might be too much... it still means I have to witness the results of this procedure...

Seems getting chatbanned isn't that easy, it seems.. I only managed it two, maybe three times in all the years I've played and raged in chat. I rarely get higher than zero Karma, but the chatbans don't come... Maybe I'm rage too civilised?
