To get back on topic for a moment. CVs are not balanced. 1: They are faster than anything else in the game. (The planes are and that's what matters.) 2: They have the best range of any class in the game. (Ship can sit in one corner and strike on the other side of the map.) 3: They can "fire" from less than 3 km away from a target without taking any damage to the ship. 4: Plane-losses weakens the ship less than a lost turret/AA-mount/torpedotube does to other ships. 5: They don't have to give away their position to "fire" their weapons. These five are just from the top of my head and the first two alone should be enough. Now I'm gonna take a nap.

This was a game I had in my Kiev. T10 CV hit me with two rocket strikes. I'm now down to 50% and lost half my AA. (I was within AA-range of team the whole time.) When the DB comes I smoke up. He still hits me again and I'm now sitting still, pinned down, no use to my team. I try to get close to a friendly CA but the CV keeps me spotted so a Shima in smoke can kill me. I shot down 0 planes. This is not fun and why play a game that isn't fun? I've played since OBT and I loved that game. This game, not so much.

I'm all for a "No CV button" That way you know what you're geting into. "Wiithout CV" will be a "Battle of Jutland"-style of game with those tacticts and builds. "With CV" will be a "Battle of Midway"-style with more of a "CV vs. CV"-style and more of a "CV-task force" blob-meta. Now, there will come someone and comment "But how about a remove DD-button then?" and I'm fine with that as well. The bottom line is that it's possible to choose and I believe that is good for the game. I don't mind a bit longer time in the queue is the game is fun. And that's what it's all about: Having fun.

Had a game today with the "Vladi". Another "Vladi" chased me. I knocked out both his front turrets, then turned around and gave him the good news in the side. Tanked over 1M just from him.

Yoshino The Salem is basically a DM and you can allways grind that one out in game. Right now there are no "Supercruiser" that you can grind for.

If your guns have enough pen, go for IFHE. Firechance can be countered with modules or skills. But there are no cure for a pen. Check the stats, do the match. Pick what's right for you. Collect! Like this

Never mind....

You died because your team melted and the DD played well.

I have under the course of about three weeks continuously reported a guy for using bots. I have played with him three times on my team. I have sent in replays and videos of how "his" ship behaves in game and screenshots of his stats. (+30k games in 13 months. That's 77/day. 1 185 Co-Op games just in the last two weeks. That's 84/day and with five minutes/game then it comes to seven hours a day just Co-Op....every day…….for two weeks….then randoms on top of that.) During those three weeks he has "played" each and every day so I assume that no ban has been issued and if he has been warned it's been without effect. This is how WG responds: Should I take this as WG is OK with players using bots since it doesn't seem to be any repercussions what so ever for those currently using them?

This is about a bot and there is an option for that when you submit a ticket. Also, the respons is different every time, sometimes it's "We don't care." and sometimes it "We'll fix this." but it's allways different. So your respons is "Bot all you want!" then?

Kinda proud of this one. 150k with guns only.

The difference is that since T4 CVs only drop one torp at a time, you died the death of a thousand cuts. I lost half my health and AA in the 30 seconds it took the CV to do two attackruns. AS for my T3 BB game the point is more "How do you counter something that can hit you as soon as the game starts?" The CV stayed away from me for the rest of the game and we won the match. (I killed the CV. :-))

I'd say some dubloons for respecing captains and stuff. Other than that, I agree with the other guys. There are bundles with dubloons and premiumtime but just read the fineprint on the coupon first, it doesn't work with everything.

Tru dat! I also had a game with 8 BBs/team.

That's just how it is at 4:40 in the morning. 1/3 of the queue was CVs.

Just putting another two cents in here. Played a T3 BB with one T4 CV/team. I was spotted within the first 20 seconds and ten seconds later rockets landed. How do I counter that? I mean, I hadn't even reached full speed yet! Next game. Me and my Kiev end up in a T10 game with two CVs/team. I'll let this screenshot speak for itself. All damage from rockets and bombs was made by one CV only. It was the shells that did me in so all the CV damage was allready done by then, but the Shima that killed me was sitting in smoke, all spotting was done by the CV. I didn't shoot down any planes. (2 700 damage to planes)

I'm not gonna play ranked this time (either). I don't like the T10 meta and CVs ontop of that is just a huge "No fun"-zone. WG, please consider the factor of "Fun". The more "Fun", the more players and more money for a longer time since players that have fun will stay with the game. For me this game should me more like "Battle of Jutland" and less "Coral Sea". CVs use a totally different doctrine than surfaceships due to the speed and range of the planes. If we had an option to choose if you want to play with or without CVs then the players can pick a ship that suits that specific meta and play accordingly. Like, with CVs the meta would call for a CV-task force with AA-support and a DD-screen, staying in the back using the planes to do damage to the other team. Without CVs the meta would be more maneuvering and close range ship-on-ship action. I don't like to play CVs or with CVs or the CV-meta but if the option was available I would be more inclined to do so because I could pick a ship that works in the CV-meta. Instead of being stuck in a CV-meta game with a non-CV-meta ship. There's a reason the USN-BBs were delegated to shore bombardment in the Pacific, they didn't fit the doctrine (meta). EDIT: In short: You know what you're geting into and you have the right tools for the job. For a T1 ranked, I'm all for it! The more alike the ships are, the more impact the skill has. But remember: The key-word is "Fun".

I agree that a tutorial campain is needed. Something you have to do before you can play Randoms. Not much, just a series of short missions and a voice that explain to you how things work, try it yourself...Good Boy!.....now you can move on.

I'm more wondering how we get the old players to stick to the game?

Not if it's WG guesswork in action.

"CVs are NOT OP!" I suggest we upload more screens like this to show what really happens in the game.

They only built four classes and Exter was part of the last one in 1931. Question is: Do we want more paper-ships?

Not if you have to get it from a third party. I bet a majority of the players doesn't even know it exists. If it's not in the gameclient, it shouldn't be allowed.

Played vanilla since OBT. WR of 57.68%. I don't think mods, other than skins and such, should be allowed in any game. Shouldn't all the players have the same "Tools"?

Want to cap faster? Get more ships into the cap!
