I'm planning to buy premium CV and I'm thinking which one to buy. My options are Kaga or Graf Zeppelin but I can't decide which one would better/most fun. I mainly play JP ships but I have unlocked German Weser which I absolutely love playing. I have played more than 100 battles with it. It so fun with secondary build in random games. Is Graf Zeppelin anything like playing with Weser? Currently my highest tiers is CV Shokaku VIII (Other ships are BB Nagato VII, rest JP lines are VI). I'm planning to grind open tier X CV Haruryu in time. I got many anime commanders for JP and I was thinking Kaga could be just perfect premium ship to rotate commanders and grind money/xp while leveling other tiers. So, Kaga or Graf Zeppelin? I know I mostly like to play tiers VI, VII and VIII ships so I don't plan getting any tier X premium ships.

I always go with fleet with German CVs. I provide AA support for fleet and stay behind islands. My Awesome Secondaries also sink ships if some DD try to sneak around island or ambush me. I have sink even BBs and other CVs with my secondaries. At late game when everyone has low health (expect CVs) those secondaries are game changing. I can go for flag and sink even BB if BB is low in health as long as I approach strategically. Enemies never expect CV attacking. They always expect CVs running away. I have also noticed that when CVs is lurking edge of map it is very vulnerability sneak attack and long range attacks. Often I see CVs run away and in the end that is always pointless. Much better is just turn your CVs around and steam toward that threat. At least you die fighting and there are really good change you even can sink whatever is after you. At end of game CV in edge of map is useless if both teams are in bad shape. It is much useful to commit to battle fully at late game. If CV is closer to center then CV can use terrain as shield and sneak around islands and play whack and mole. The thing is at end if you team is losing you are losing whatever you do so in the end you can go down fighting and get as much score as you can. If in the end both teams are evenly matched then CVs taking action is game changing and that can tip scales for favor of your team. I have been in many situation where my action has turned game around for us in the end. But I agree. That skill is very dubious. There is clear advantage to be in front. You can get your planes faster to battle but if one takes this skill you don't gain that advantage. It is very expensive skill for skill which gives plus minus advantage. If there were no penalty in this or penalty were lower this would be more useful. Hell, it should give detection range -10% or something for planes too.

I have never used Enchanted Aircraft Armor nor Enchanted Armor-Piercing Ammunition so I'm not sure what would I miss. I'm debating a lot with myself is Enchanted Aircraft Armor even worth it. Not sure if it is important on higher tier. There are awful few info about Enchanted Aircraft Armor skill when I try to Google it. Maybe it is worth take with IJN CVs especially for Kaga, dunno.

Next patch will fix hidden menace. Hidden Menace Added a bonus: -50% to the height which planes have to reach to become invulnerable either after an attack or after recalling them to the carrier by pressing F. https://blog.worldofwarships.com/blog/175 I play Weser a lot and I have been using secondary build with her. I just love it. I only got lvl 13 commander in her but I'm thinking taking Hidden Menace as last skill for her. Maybe... Or I just do that in A. Parseval if I'll unlock her.

Kaga it is. Thank you for answers!

Okey. Let's start banning premium ships first. What next? CVs of course. What then? What about those pesky cruisers because they have radars and it is soooo hard to play DDs because them. You know those BBs are also little too overpowered now that we have banned half of the ships. They too should also be banned! And of course we don't want future submarines neither! Now we can all enjoy happy happy sneak & hide with only DDs. Have fun game!

And when is this anniversary? I hope I could get something like discount coupon...

This is from my account: I only got Japanese ships, German Weser and Graf Spee. Nice trying to do those missions. My friend has:

Weser is killer and very fun to play with in random battles. It is my favorite carrier right now. I have played 99 battles with her. Her secondaries are awesome. I have sunk countless ships with secondaries in my games. They shine at end of game when everyone starts to have low hp. You can just go to grab objectives and if there is low health BB there you can sink it with your secondaries and torpedo planes. DDs doesn't have change against you! I know torpedo planes are not as awesome as JP ones but I use them a lot. They don't make so much damage but those planes are more sturdy than bombers. Bombers melt fast. Rocked planes are really good for harassing DDs and cruisers which BTW is CV players' main objectives also they are good to make finishing blow to ships. If you are lucky with them you might score lots of citadel hit ribbons with them. I got 16 citadel ribbons with them in one game. At least this was before the patch. These skills are essential for Weser: Survivability Expert, Armored Aircraft and Advanced Firing Training for her commander. Without Survivability Expert your planes are just paper and your ship doesn't stand with toe to toe against other ships. With Advanced Firing Training you can also go with the fleet and provide awesome AA support for fleet.

I think everyone got those missions. That is just there so everyone would rush to buy those premium ships so they can get those loot boxes.

I'm not whining. I noticed this and informed all the community. I was just wondering.

They are selling AL Littorio right now...

Well. There is more competition with games which has historic ships like Sea of Thieves: :D

This is really poor design. In many games like Heroes of Storm you could in theory get everything only playing game but that would probably take like 100 years. Anyway I would be good for everyone if we could get everything from game by playing that way we also would drop some money to game while playing it. Now there are just these paywalls and it discourages me to play game. It shatters my goals in game and goals are important so I keep playing game.

Heroes of Storm has chests which you can reroll up to three times. You pay small gold fee for first roll (equivalent about 100 doubloon). Second roll is double expensive and third roll even more expensive but this would solve whole issue and it would be win : win solution for both parties.

How can someone get banned? I have never been banned in any game...

Is there some pattern when 30% discount voucher drops? I would like to buy AL Littorio, but not on current price. Is it realistic wait those vouchers?

Fat change. I have seen some 80's clothes already in stores. Adidas at least has some woman's 80's themed sport wear. But I agree, I don't this trend either.

Haven't you people noticed yet that there is 80's boom going on right now. Netflix's Strange Things, Wonder Woman 1984 and many others are just nostalgic trip for all who are from 80s. Youtube is full of modern music with 80's remixes or themes like this and this. Games like Retrowave and Blood Dragon are hot commodity. Transformers is just one of these things. Those movies are made for new generation and also for old generation nostalgic reasons. Both bring money and lot.

Yes, please! It would be so cool if we had ships with Rainbow Dash camouflage and voices. CV attack planes could be flying ponies which could shoot rainbows!

Wow.. multitasking is that hard? How on earth do Starcraft players do it? I mean driving CVs you don't need to drive it like car. You only change speed or course which only takes about tenth of second of your time from keyboard. Just toggle it to steer and while same time continue your task of fly planes. Check later from map if it has turned enough and toggle it to go forward or toggle autopilot back on.

I got plenty of unused keys on my keyboard when playing this game. I would love to be able to maneuver my CV while flying. It doesn't need to be much. Just change course or speed so I could avoid torpedoes or get away from island where CV is stuck because autopilot. Even backward and forward ability would be enough. That way if it get stuck I just could command it to go backward and later toggle autopilot back on again when clear from island.

Yeah. I'm starting to hate this discussion also. It is even on our clan's Discord. There are two/three people who all the time diss everything someone says about CVs. I only want to play this game and not to care about those too serious people's whines about CVs. I like all ships including CVs and subs. I don't have any problem with them. Game is fun. Those who whine here has invested like thousands and thousands battles and whine from every little change in game because it will change how they play. They are like Dust2 players in CS. Nothing can't change. Maybe it would be good for them to go play other games time to time. This game shouldn't be taken too seriously. This isn't even e-sport game.

Har har har. How many times I have heard this in other games? You only need to open forums of other games and there are similar topics and similar threads. Fact is. They won't ever take them out of game. There is too much invested to them by company and players alike. There would be major riot if they were removed from game. There are lots of players who like them. Fact two. Those who whine in forums are almost always minority but very apparent people. Majority never even visit forums. We can't know how many really are unhappy based forum whine. Fact three. When company makes major design decisions and invests artist, coders and developers time to product something they damn well see it that it will end to game too. That is why submarines WILL come to game and why CVs aren't going anywhere. Making these things cost money and manpower and company is committed to see it through. Very very rarely you see something major changed like Blizzard's Diablo 3 which got major overhaul because overwhelming critics. Critic didn't save WC3: Refunded though... It took years for Blizzard even acknowledged that people liked classic wow. That is Blizzad we are talking about. 98% game companies don't care crap what players whine on forums. If game is too broken they just abandon it and make second version of it. BTW. have you seen whine on Paradox forums from their games? Even that whine they still release mediocre or bad DLC after DLC. Still people seems to buy them or they wouldn't make them.

I always like new things in game. It is like new expansion packs for World of Warcraft which brings new zones, quests, talents, maybe classes and raids. More different things to play the more fun game will be. Of course game, which is based on naval warfare, just have to have submarines or it would be totally incomplete game. Of course I can't say much about how they were in test because I haven't seen single sub in this game yet. But people shouldn't diss them because they didn't work perfectly first time. Of course they didn't. They were there for testing and devs surely will fix them now that they know what is wrong with them. I'm pretty bored how static this game is sometimes. So few new things. This game's old guards are like those CS Dust2 players who never want anything else. They whine if there is even tiniest change in the map. They just play dust dust dust until The World ends. I get bored fast if there are no new mechanics in game. I really want to play with subs. Back in 2015 I was like 'man this game really need subs'. I just have to wonder why it did took them 5 years to make them. I have been waiting them long long time. What I like about submarines? What is not to like? It can go underwater and ambush enemies! Haven't you seen Das Boot??
