You do realise that despite how it looks right now, CVs are actually a support class right? The rework removes that support role away from CV and instead places it into an attack only role. So what you said above about CVs being responsible for support makes no sense, especially since you can only a) use 1 squadron at a time and b) there are no controllable fighters. After 3 years, it is already more or less ingrained into every player's mind one way or another that CVs are meant to scout, provide fighter support and deal damage. Players will still demand CV players to provide that support even though WG has removed those abilities from CV gameplay. The rework does not promote teamplay at all but rather, more individual play.

Kinda tired of it tbh. And this is a potential mess that WG may be creating. 20 min gameplay, you wouldn't have enough tine to be effective in battle if you have to swap between RTS and FPS mode. FPS mode as an option in addition to the current RTS attack mode would be an interesting option though. You prefer a traditional style go RTS but if you wanna see things more clearly FPS it is. More like way more complaining. No spotting no scouting no fighter support, the 3 eternal complains about CV. You think non-CV players care about the change? They're more interested in those 3 stuff. Don't give it to them and they'll still complain regardless of any changes.

Probably limited by time like BB's catapult fighters. You call them in to protect your planes/ships and they disappear after 60 sec. Strictly a protective ability rather than a utility one.

Rockets my friend, rockets. Who need torpedos now when you can have so much fun shooting rockets at a DD and have a good laugh. I dunno whether a quick death by cross drop is better or getting harrassed by 4 rocket strikes.

Yeah but the current setup base on the demo are 4 attacks of 3 planes each and more or less focus on 1 target at a time only so only 1 DD will suffer.

Yeap I know we have all that but you yourself should have seen how ignorent some players are with regards to changes in gameplay even with all these tools. Short of forcing all players who log in after the rework patch to watch a video on the changes before being able to play the game again, Im sure we'll have a flood of angry threads.

@MrConway @Sub_Octavian Can I just ask how are you guys gonna implement all this changes? Not all of the playerbase use the forums, reddit, twitch, youtube etc and given how we still have threads from people who don't even know that you now pay a flat service fee instead of calculating the remaining HP, I foresee alot of rage threads and unhappiness in the player population, be it from "new" CV players who get reported for not spotting the enemy DD or providing AA cover to some BB player complaining about the lack of "fighter" cover The CV rework may or may not be a good thing but I'm just wondering if you guys considered this area as well or are you guys just gonna steamroll the final product in and not bother about anything else.

Great rework eh

Ohhhhh it makes alot of difference. You're not looking at it in the big picture of how gameplay will be influenced but the "entertainment'" value of playing CVs. The new style is more focused on solo play whereas the old style gives you the flexibility of supporting your team. If we're going in the direction of fun rather than teamplay I don't mind giving it a try. I just hope everyone else is ready for it.

I guess we'll have to wait and see what tweaks WG will make before making a final decision.

Just so all those people who think CV players are all upset, don't complain in the near future when: a) No one spots for you; b) No one provide AA support for you; c) No one sinks and save you from that full health enemy ship coming after you. We'll just farm damage as dictated by WG's fun CV gameplay style instead of focusing on winning

Well if you consider it from an overall gameplay perspective CVs are pretty much neutered as a support class. Sure they have the ability to hurt you but almost only 1 at a time. That leaves the other ships in your team free. For example, currently a CV can say, torp a full health enemy BB on the right flank to support a lone surviving CA and dive bomb a low health enemy DD on the left flank to prevent it from capping and win. With the changes, you can almost only pick one (from what I can see. I may be wrong). So well I guess less influence and less support but more focus on "fun" and probably more selfish gameplay. More important to have fun dumping all those rockets at the enemy DD by the map border than torping that full health enemy BB capping a point.

Wow no deplaning

Never, if the economic change is any indication. "I HAVE FULL HEALTH SHIP WHY DO I STILL HAVE TO PAY REPAIR COST!!!!!"

Now that the rework has been revealed what are your thoughts guys? Yay or Nay?

Meh grammer police . What can you do

In all seriousness, please learn about the various game mechanics and how to play the game properly first. Just because people play better than you doesn't mean that they're cheating, just that you're a worse player than them.

^^^^ what BLUB_BLUB said. If I'm playing say for example my Belfast and some guy tells me at the start of the game to go play more co-op I'll be somewhat peeved. I don't really think people appreciate being told by someone else what to do. Then again we have no replay so we don't know exactly what you said and even if you said something in a polite manner it probably comes across as condescending to those players like a stuck up know it all. Just play your game and don't bother about others with this kind of unnecessary stuff. I don't think they're playing the game just to have you nag at them. Well why not? I can see why they reported you though if its how you phrase your words

I got the email as I was reading this thread.

Good Lord so there are people out there with some common sense.

A good Missouri game

Well that's the million dollar question isn't it. But it's WG's problem to find a solution for it that enough people will be happy for. That or just the current system of replays and determining if there was any rule violation involved during the match.

I did say this earlier in the thread though: And Crysantos said this: 1 person gets banned and suddenly everyone is getting banned for a similar situation? If WG handed out multiple bans at that point in time and people are upset and up in arms over it I can understand but just 1 person (ok 2) got banned and suddenly everyone is getting banned left right and center? If you're gonna overreact then that is your problem, not his.

I think like you said, it'll probably make rank even worse. Now people will really take whatever gives them an advantage.

People sure overreact eh Cut the guy some slack. You guys were the one who overreacted in the first place instead of waiting for him to give a proper clarification and now you're demanding that he apologies?
