    How to fix CV mess - a hybrid approach

    For me I have given up trying to play CVs for now - I have Ranger, Lexington and Ryujo and it is proving a very steep leaning curve when they are almost always up-tiered. I CBA re-buying Langley or Hoosho just as a trainer so will waiting until the novelty has worn off and the RN ones come out and buy HMS Hermes to learn on. For now I am having fun leveling German and French BBs

    New CVs

    Terrible. Just terrible. Why, oh why not odd tiered carriers? T6/T8 always uptierd and get massacred.

    Call for boycott of the new CV gamplay.

    Play tier IV and never upgrade. Tier VI and VIII are just stupid. You have no chance if uptiered

    British CVs

    Audacious was laid down but not completed until after the war as HMS Eagle. My dad saw her go down the slips in 1946 and also saw her being broken up at Cairnryan in 78/79.

    Is it me ?

    They seem to have done some meddling with existing CV drop RNG ahead of the update.can5 hit a damn thing with bombs and torpedoes only ever one hit.

    Ship for around 6400 dublons?

    Molotov is so satisfying when you get it right but sooo fragile.

    Last Prinz directive

    Just completed and got the Prinz. US and UK were easy but the rest a hard grind as I have mostly T5/T6 Premium ships and those won in Santa boxes. I never, ever want to play Mutsu, Ock Rev or Krispy Kreme again. Dunkerque was also very frustrating but Molotov as a revelation once I'd stopped myself rushing in an getting paddled. Sit back and light everybody up!

    Is the Daring as bad as the Jutland?

    Daring has crazy auto bounce angles. Watch this video

    "Mighty Prinz" Campaign

    This part is just stupid.. American? Easy with carriers and I’ve also got Mammie and two DDs British? Belfast, Warspite Nelson, Hood, Vanguard Cossack, should be OK. Japanese? Hardly played but I just got Mutsu in a Santa box and have T6 carrier so maybe Russian? Just got two in boxes but they are the worst - Krispy Kreme and Oct Rev France? Got Dunquerke and Aigle plus T5 and 6 cruisers so hard work but possible Pan Asia? Just got level 3 so non starter Commonwealth ? Got Perth but don’t fancy grinding 4m in that Italy? Got Duca d’Aosta but again, a hard grind So this is just a scam to get you to buy PEF to then get another PEF? How much do you get back if you already have it?

    Lower tiers vs High tears

    I’ve levelled a few T9 and T10 and, TBH, have struggled with them so have gone back and am doing. Few low level ones: French cruisers - awful, die so easy. Jap CVS - horrible, Miss all the time and planes are so week. Pan Asian DD - an absolute hoot. US Cruiers (I’d stopped at Phoenix before) - better than French, looks like being fun.

    Sooo... buy more Santa loot boxes? Are there still ship drops?

    Soo... I bought 5 x Mega boxes when they first came out and got T61 plus a bunch of camos and coal so was pleased Bought 2 more x5 and got more camos coal and few doubloons Haven't bought any more until tonight when I was a bit drunk and thought I'd try my luck again and got 3 ships! Unfortunately they aren't very good ones Mutsu - doesn't seem to have any armour and can't shoot straight Krispy Kreme - a bit of a giggle but terribly slow Oct Rev - fun if you manage to hit but attracts carriers
  13. We may well be in the same situation in a few years. Once Putin is finished in Ukraine he’ll start on the Baltic states. And of course Europe will be too broken up to defend them an Trump will let his buddy do what he wants.

    T-61 is a god in ranked sprint

    I won her in a Santa box on Sunday and been great fun so far in randoms.
  15. 5 Mega boxes T-61 2000 doubloons 30 Wyveryn Flags 12500 coal 20 Streamers camo Not bad I guess

    Ship you love. That everyone else hates

    I hate Graf Spee. Neptune is hard work until you get it fully specced into concealment
  17. Very easy Premium for the Polish navy line to go with Błyskawica

    The Lions

    Imagine if Vanguard has been sunk in the Falklands instead of Sheffield... One of the many reasons Blake and Tiger weren't reactivated and used - imagine the blow to pride and loss of life if one of them was sunk

    Prinz Eugen - fule removal from wreck

    Some friends of mine were involved in removing oil from the wreck of SMS Blucher and are now involved in this: http://www.professionalmariner.com/Web-Bulletin-2015/Miko-Marine-develops-device-to-ease-oil-removal-from-wrecks/

    Bad CV players and their increasing frequency

    Amazing how may player seem think bombers exist to sit over enemy ships to spot them and not actually attack. Or how a carrier with one fighter group can spot at one side of the map while simultaneously shooting down a flight of torpedo bomber and two of dive bombers

    One-shotted a Neptune in my Vanguard. Getting to quite like it.
  24. Fiji. Great fun ship even when uptierd.

    Italian Cruiser line

    They need to have ‘pop-off’ turrets
