I just finished the Sprint and found it quite a lot of fun. In my battles was no fixed meta and a good mix of teams and ships. Good thing they didn't bring epicenter mode... After trying Shinonome (no fun with all the CVs), Icarus (workable), PEF (too reliant on MM imho), i ended up with the Leander. It always delivered good results for me. Smoke helps alot against CVs and in a 7 vs 7 format you actually can play it quite aggressively with a bit of map awareness.

I know it's in a very early development stage but the shown concept seems flawed imho: - only DD's as a real counter is a bad idea (they are the first to die in game already) - high speed while submerged gives subs too much influence (maybe make it necessary for surface ships to slow down for depth charges instead?) - Guided Torpedos will worsen the camping meta even more Let's hope WG will take this slow and listen to our feedback during testing...

Das kann ich bestätigen. Das Ruder lässt sich manchmal in der Nähe von Insel nicht auf neutral stellen, sondern springt weiter. Auch bei mir ist Collision Avoidence aus. Ist mir jetzt schon mit verschiedenen Schiffen passiert (natürlich im ungünstigsten Moment).

I played a lot of games in all types of ships, low and high tier since this patch and expected a lot from the new CV's. I must say my enthusiasm has declined quite a lot. Imho the game has lost a lot of tactical depth. - I find grinding a Tier IV CV to Tier VI not fun at all. It get's boring very fast - The change in spotting mechanics and concealment has robbed a lot of ships of their different playstyles and takes a lot of fun out of them (even without CV in game) - The meta changed from tactic to more action (surprises, flanking etc. don't work when everyone is spotted). This takes a lot of fun out for me. - You can't afford to lose health anymore because a CV can reach you anywhere on the map and delete you. This enforces a passive, camping playstyle I'm trying to be as constructive as possible but if WG keeps going in this direction, I will not continue playing this game for long.

I usually don’t write on the forums, but the current CV rework really got my attention. The current situation is a mess and I hope WG is finally listening to its’ players. I’m pretty sure the new CV is here to stay, so might as well make it as fun and balanced as possible under the circumstances. And the best idea I read in all the posts by far, is to give planes a limited radius of operations. Not my idea, but I like it a lot! Why? The CV would have to move to it’s destination like everybody else, resulting in a delayed spotting of enemy ships and a possibility to fight for caps It would add a tactical depth, the new CV is badly missing Enemy ships could retreat out of the CV’s range to heal up It’s harder for the CV to kill low hp targets all over the map The CV is taking a risk because it has to get close to the enemy (risk->reward, the closer, the more enemies in the radius) Probability of CV being the last ship alive drops The CV captain would actually have to move his ship in between airstrikes (Feels more like a ship game, not a planes game) CV is part of the team again because he needs others to keep him save and is part of tactical movement I believe this would solve a lot of problems (Sadly far more are remaining) that are painfully wrong with the current status of CV. If they would test it outside of random that would be even better…

You are right of course, maybe WG will finally listen . I think it might be easier to applicate on the new CV because of it's nature of gameplay.

Moin, ein Clan mit japanischem Schwerpunkt würde mir sehr gefallen. Falls ihr also noch jemand sucht, würde ich mal die Tage bei euch reinschauen. Momentan bin ich mit den BB's bei der Nagato, den CA's Myoko und DD's aktuell Tier 6 Fubuki. High Tier habe ich sonst nur die deutsche Roon anzubieten. Ansonsten bin ich regelmäßig abends anzutreffen und die 18 Jahre habe ich auch schon eine ganze Weile überschritten ;)
