Because WG view CV players as masochist who enjoy playing a class with tons of nerfs. @MrConway are you guys gonna just continue to punish us for playing CVs or are you guys gonna introduce a patch soon to make CV gameplay more bearable. Not everyone are unicrums who get past 100k damage and you guys are putting ppl off just like pre-rework CVs. By the time you guys are done WG might as well introduce a 2nd cv rework.

I had 2 games recently in my CV where the enemy shima did not cap or do anything. They basically spent the entire game sailing ard the map border to sink me. First one did, second one failed. When i asked the 2nd one whether it was worth it, he said yes, "I did alot of damage" (note he did not sink me though). My team literally had free caps.

Gun caliber determine whether a cruiser is heavy or light, not the armour.

Some of us open 2 or 3 SC every few weeks, just no ship. I openned one on sun but its another 50 ocean soul

"After receiving feedback from players and looking at our data, we notice that there are CVs are exploiting the speed boost by tapping the W button rapidly, thereby using up less of the speed boost bar than what they would have normally used and giving them an unfair advantage in battle. We will therefore be patching the exploit in update 0.8.0.4 so that tapping W will result in the same speed boost consumption as holding W."

Nope, the difference is arti can continue doing damage to you as long as they have enough rounds and are not dead. On the other hand, a CV with no planes cannot deal any damage short of attempting to ram an enemy ship (which is near impossible unless the stars are aligned) or use their secondaries (and then die from a hail of enemy fire). So a CV is conceptually different from arti. Going by your concept, those camping BBs are the real arti in the game. They can sit out at 20+km at tier 10 and continuously throw shells at you. Your only counterplay is to use cover and/or avoid them, which makes you pretty useless when you are a CA or DD as you cannot close the range to deal any damage. The only difference between RTS and rework is the execution. Most of the principles remain unchanged in a way. After rework a CV player supposedly gets "infinite" planes, but given the respawn rate of these planes, there is actually not much difference between having planes respawn or a plane reserve. If you keep on throwing your planes away, you will end up with at most 1/2 planes in a squadron by mid-end game.

The comparison of CVs to arti is what players who dislike CVs often like to link. It has got nothing to do with whether a person who likes CV can dislike the rework at the same time.

Ive been playing since the rework, but if they continue making it harder to play CVs then il probably stop. I've been playing alot of BBs. Can't beat em join em

Its actually an assumption shallow players make to justify their dislike of CVs. CVs can only do real damage through their planes, which have to get through AA in order to deal damage to another ship. Planes are not invincible, can miss target etc. So saying CVs are similar to arty is pretty stupid, unless WG start equipping tanks with anti-arti shell guns that are able to shoot down arti shells and give arti a reload penalty whenever their shells are shot down.

@MrConway @Crysantos Does WG expect CV players to be masochist and continue being used as guinea pigs while you guys slap our faces with the various nerfs and expect us to go deal with it? I don't see how the current situation is that much different from the "RTS" style iteration of CV. Other players complain about how OP CVs are in certain areas and/or you guys look at your data, WG throws in a few nerfs to CVs, the CV players adapt to it, other players continue to complain about how OP CVs are in certain areas and/or you guys look at your data and you guys throw in even more nerfs and expect CV players to continue dealing with it. Its quite amusing when you think about it. If a CV player has premium time or premium CV(s), they are literally paying to be WG's guinea pigs. FTP CV players are essentially providing free services by spending their time play testing a class for you guys . We get nothing in return, we are expected to play with nerfs and continue to be abused by other players who either expect their CVs to provide support, which they can no longer give due to changes or nerfs or by players whom the CVs attack or sink for being too "OP". For all the claims about having plans and measures you guys seem to be just making it worse for everyone, especially us CV players who have to deal with all the shenanigans brought about by this rework and those that decide the give it a try. We're not masochist and I don't think we deserve to be constantly abused by WG or other players just because we play a class that is slightly different from the other classes.

How WG sees CV players:

TBH I try doing it but if your teammate does nothing then you're wasting time and your own damage potential.

Its not fun for the CV as well. Why would I want to keep on attacking the same target over and over to stack up the damage? You know how boring that is for the CV player. Death by a thousand paper cuts work both ways. I rather be able to do a fair amount of damage if I play well and land a hit on a target than keep on throwing planes at a target just to try to sink it.

Oh i do. If you just think abit deeper there is a difference between a player choosing to keep their empty squad over a DD vs WG introducing a mechanic that forces player to keep their squad over a DD if they want to deal damage to it. I mean sure you can keep on loop around a DD in the current iteration without making an attack run but who the heck wants to do that lol.

Actually WG's rework started it by introducing the multiple wave attack in a cv squad. This forces a cv player to stay in an area way longer than a rts cv squad would have, causing the DD to be spotted for a far longer time.

I dont think so. As the rest have said, stats for the rts cvs are frozen. Given that you have played the new cvs already getting a refund and restarting makes no difference. Just keep whatever CV you have and play I guess.

I haven tried the new Haku TBs. Are they as clunky as Midway's?

*Everyone plays Midway after the Haku nerf* WG: Our spreadsheet show that Midway is too OP

Tbh if you're really bothered engh by this then you should have made some effort to find out how the compensation system worked irregardless of WG fcking it up somehow. You can even see the update news from port now. At the end of the day there is also some personal liability on your fault for not reading carefully. Personally I don't really care about the compensation so yeah.

When you're nice engh to ss but ppl ignore it

All the blind people these days

No wonder. I was under the impression that they were bound to the circle they spawned in or at most a fair distance away. I remember a game where the fighters chased my plane all the way to the map border from near the middle of the map.

Those planes have a particular set of skills. Skills that make them a nightmare for people like you and I. Hence they'll chase u to the end of the earth. Jokes aside yeah the fighters do chase my planes even outside the circle although im not sure if it 11-12 km. If you ask me i dont think they should be able to chase you that far.
