Apparently I was playing it all wrong. Lightning is the way to go :) Seriously OP ... you just had 1 bad game. If I got an EURO for every time someone outplayed me, I'd be a rich man.

Meh ... the person who dies to ship controlled by Jingles gets to listen 1 minute of his laugh.

Hmmmm ... interesting. But not between CV squad and CV fighters consumable right? @black_falcon120 Mate sorry for hijacking your thread ;)

Saipan (the only CV I have) is deceptive to strikes (at least that was the info I once heard). Sure it is an overkill .... but in case both CVs try to strike me, I can do that and shut them down (and most important get undetected asap).

Yeah, things get chaotic. Would work in division. Another little trick im using with fighters. When enemy CV tries to strike me I immediately return my squad. I then launch lets say attack planes, immediately release fighters and call the squad back. Then I do the same with lets say dive bombers. You can get 3 fighters above your CV in couple of seconds... add CV fighters... yeah a nasty surprise for the enemy CV squad.

Thanks for the info. Didn't know that. Makes sense tho. If it wouldn't work that way coordinated attack from 2 CVs would be broken af.

So AA fires at both (or more) with same intensity?

Is it possible to use fighters ad AA bait? Afaik, ship AA always priorities cv squad over fighters when both are in range. Asking just to be sure...

Slingshot™ drop even got buffed recently if I understand currectly...

I have some thoughts (and questions). Now those who know me ... I am no CV player not I ever was. But that does not mean I am strictly "for or against" ... I just want to see the game balanced for ALL players. 1. Fighter consumable - Apparently "Survivabillty Expert / Aircraft Armour" skills do not effect its HP. Am I wrong? I felt that when my fighter engages any other fighter they cancel each other out (if there is no AA involved). It would make sense that the skills also transfer to the fighter consumable. - The radius circle of fighter consumable on the mini map I mean ... I do get it, but please get rid of it. I don't like the game constantly trying to hold my hand and make things easier for me. I do like the challenge ... and having no operating area would make sense. 2. CV planes - The storm (cyclone) effect on the aircraft. Is it even present? Does it effect detection? I was trying to make use of the storm ... was flying in it, approaching an enemy just outside the storm who was being spotted by a friendly DD. The weather made no effect at all .. I was spotted instantly when the enemy hit my detection radius and he opened AA fire immediately. Why not make use of the storm? Opens so many tactical options. - The smoke (and planes flying trough it). I noticed it does not work as it should be. Lets say there is a smoke and on the other side of the smoke is enemy. You would think if you dive into the smoke, and launch fighter that you would remain unspotted while your fighter spots the enemy. Well ... not in my instance. - The Islands (and using them as cover) This bugs me a lot. Almost every time the AA goes trough the islands... with clearly no LOS taking place. Sure it only happens on tops of the hill, but still ... it bugs me. 3. Surface ships and DEFAA consumable I think the implementation should be changed. When triggered it should "panic" the attack planes, making its aim off. Just like it used to be ... for all planes. Having that would give surface ships at least some control when they are attacked ... currently its all just RNG magic. 4. Detection WG experimented with CV start delay in order to allow surface ships take the control points without them being detected within first half of minute. Yes it is a problem, but wouldn't it be better to limit detected ships by a CV planes (or its consumables) only to CV them self? Like ... when CV detects a ship the mechanics is the same as it already is implemented ( I think in storms?). You see the detected ships grayed out on the mini map, but not on the battle map (unless the detected ship is close enough). Same already works in storm, where a friendly is engaged with an enemy, you cant see (except on the mini map). The initial proposed delay could stay ... lets say 10-20 seconds, depending on the tier... allowing teams to commit without being exposed immediately. - Detecting planes from the CV planes just looks dumb. Within 10 seconds I can see at least 5 enemy planes on the mini map with their ship names. I mean how stupid is that. The whole detection should change, because it is looking silly now.

Captain seems a valid choice, but I wonder who will level him up for me...

"Ranked... sucking life outa wows players since 2015." If people still up to this day can not play a very predictable operations... how on earth should they manage ranked? Suffer is basically WGs currency that gets you steel.

It wont happen. Its not something WG would want. They spend 2 years working on this CVs. Let it go or find something else to entertain.

Unfortunately there is nothing you can do except pray, that WG DEVs make everyone happy......................................................................................................................................Yeah ... that will never happen.

You know what .... as long as players come to forums to complain about this ... it only indicates there is something wrong with it. But WG ... like USSR in the latest Chernobyl HBO flick ... pretends nothing is wrong and all is fine.

One of many reasons I stopped playing. Along with poorly executed CV rework, AA mechanics (magic), over-penetrations when there should not be any, 0 dmg penetrations, MM, brainless playerbase that cant even play OPS .... I could go on and on ... but why... in the end its my call. The game makes no sense for me anymore ... things I learned over years feel like they were chucked outa window.

Embedding went crazy... Heres the link: https://www.facebook.com/wowsdevblog/posts/2367636333562700

(2) - Theres a mod for that. It gives additional info (base) on players panel, such as (blank if none): - gun range - torp range - radar range - hydro range ...

I am happy for you. :) I still can not find the motivation to play. Not because of the CVs, but mostly because I am unsure about my ship builds. If skill distribution would be free (always) I would probably be trying out new builds .... but now I'm trapped in this .... twilight zone :)

Essentially many streamers already do the coaching. Mostly the smaller ones, where your question doesn't get lost in all the fanboy chatflood.

I have not try the ship in the current meta. Used to be very good with TANK build ... but I do not want to play her ATM ... the AA is nothing to brag about and you are target for any CV.

Magic. Same as overpenetrating broadside Colorado torpbelt at 4km with KGV ap for example. This game sometimes just goes nuts. Ive had entire salvos just disappear in ships hull without registering a single hit.
