Faster max skills, way more choice in regard on how you build your commander, therefor more viable builds avalaible. I don't see how this is a bad thing.

Quite a pointless skill. On the other hand, the ammo reserve improvement is more than welcome on my side. I've always thought it was retarded how quickly IJN fighters ammunitions were vanishing. If you deal with ennemy fighters prior to his strike then you don't have ammo left to take care of the strike wing. Won't resolve the issue of annemic IJN strafe (1 - 2 midway bomber killed / squad for a side strafe is total craplet's face it) but at least you'll have the ammunitions to do a bit more than that and maybe catch up some of them on their way back which is always nice.

Yeah sure it's not great. But I don't understand why it receive so much hate, since it's nor better nor worse than anything else they added. The only good thing about this rework, imho, is the lower costs cap to 4. Otherwise everything they added seems 'meh'. And I don't feel that RPF is more or less meh than other stuff. Just wait and see. And anyway, there's really, really no point in flooding the whole forum with the shame stuff that has been repeated over and over again by 15k forum-dudes before you. WG knows everything about how disliked this is however they still want to implement it in game so let them do it and see what it does.

Again, you'll have something popping on your side, but you have no clue on what it is, therefore you can't react. This is not a valuable information since it doesn't allow any reaction. Sure it can be a DD but it can also be a cruiser flanking you, against both those opponents the reaction is absolutely not the same. Furthermore, you don't know if this threat is coming for you, or for something else. You don't even really know how far it is. Given that it only shows the closest undetected target, it can suddunly hint a DD going to cap something 15km away, not paying attention to you. TL;DR : as a BB, RPF doesn't give you enough information to properly take action. Therefore I'd take the mandatory CE aswell as AFTor manual sec or fire prevention prior to RPF.

Totally pointless for BBs. Unless you're pushing solo with no scout like a retard, there will be DDs between you and the nearest foe anyway, and if you get flanked anyway, RPF shows you that there's an ennemy barely in that direction, but you don't know what it is, if it has torps and if it's close enough to launch them at you. The only thing it does is allow you to panic turn and show your side to 3 Yamatos because you were afraid of torps that were never coming . You'll just know that there's something this side, with no clue of if it's dangerous in most situation. And therefore no defense against it. Anyway, it's most likely that there will be spotted ships towards where it points anyway so you'll really have no clue at all. That's only usefull for scouts & DD hunters, and BBs aren't one of those.

In Taiho today, getting sniped by Essex, he barely uses his fighters and I kill half his strike wing. His last DB squad still drops 4 bombs with 2 fighters on their back and the consumable enabled, for 15k and 2 fires. Was so mad x)

Again, we're not sure yet it removes more than it adds. When we'll be using, and used to it, maybe we'll see that it allows some tactics that we were not thinking about just by theorycrafting around it or testing it a few time on the test server. If you're familiar with moba, it's often like this when a new hero is going to be released. Everyone is shouting "OP" or "utter crap", and once they're used to it it appears that it's fairly usable and balanced. It could really induce some intresting mind game when used to it.

Yeah exactly this. As bad as it seems it's not like there's a "point of no return" where you can't remove this skill when coressed.

Yeah, like with RN cruisers. Everyone used their grey matter to extrapolate that they will be "crap", "unplayable", "stupid" and so on, and after like 3 months of blind ranting people get used to them, you see as much RN cruisers, than other cruisers, and it's on of the funniest line in the game. So once again, wait a bit to see how it behaves, and if it's as we're expecting then we will legitimatly contest this skill.

What's beyond me is that everybody (except those who'd still be ranting at CVs if they were removed), every player even those not playing CVs, are agreeing that this situation is not normal and not fair. And for once that mostly everyone agree on a topic, WG decides to crapon it, but his palms in front of his eyes and say "no problem no issue everything good everything normal huehuehuehue".

They totally missed anything good they could add to any class is this rework, and ofc CVs aren't an exception. The only good thing about it is the 4pts max cost.

Anyway if you didn't manage to do well with the stupid spread it gives to planes, then do something else. This consumable shouldn't exist anyway, or at least not that strong.

After I get trolled by overpens once more with a Kutuzov showing broadside to my Amagi 8km and tanking 4 volleys before finally eating more than 5k damages, I wonder if someone really tried HE on cruisers. I suppose you don't get those juicy deletion that you sometime have but maybe you have more regular, constant damage over cruisers ? I know that in theory it sucks but please don't tell me that it 100% sucks if you haven't tried it.

Hakuryu lends 1600 base XP and around 350k (with premium, zulu and advanced camo) for a victory with 150+k damage, multiple destroyer kills, and 30+ plane kills. Not really what I would expect. When I see videos of T10 cruisers in the same circumstances they're at like 700k credits. Anyway cruiser economy seems a bit broken to me. I don't have played cruisers a lot so it's just an impression, but when I play an ARP cruiser 1500 XP is the bare minimum for doing a bad game, and it often goes beyond 2k base XP. In CV for 2k XP you need a fantastic game.

Well I hardly feel the German BBs tankiness. Ok, on their side they take much less damage than other BBs. But I feel that when you're angled a bit, it doesn't make much a difference. On the other hand with Nagato / Amagi, as soon as I angle the damage received drops dramatically. In Bismarck I still hit 10k volleys here and there because no reason.

Also, you're probably encountering stronger opponents. Downed from 65% in Taiho to 55% in Hak atm, even if I improved. The fact that I grinded all the upgrade without free XP and played a lot on laptop during christmas probably play a role in this, but the most important factor is that I face really strong opponents more often than in any other tier (particularly I still remember a game vs a guy named AnEpicDude who inflicted me a galactic-level beating :p). Some of them are in well organized division which makes it even harder, so I suppose it's normal to not have the same WR. Live and learn as they say.

There's something I often see people doing in Domination mode, and it's when team has successfully pushed a capture point, then they keep going all right full steam in the ennemy spawn. Please don't do it ! It's plain uselss ! When you've push trough a capture point with your team, then you turn to go for an other ! It sounds so basic but I see so many people not doing this that I thought it might be a good idea to recall it here.

I wish a new CV line. Well, that wouldn't fit RN quite well but I was thinking high speed long arming distance torps could be an intresting gimmick for a CV line ... maybe a split of the IJN line. I suppose the best gimmick for UK CV would be AP bombs as always mentionned in this forum, but then a rework for the crappy DB mechanic is mandatory.

Perfectly illustrates what I was talking about. See how these morons genuinely avoid pushing B, and instead turned around that rock to chase ghosts in the ennemy spawn. Please oh please don't be one of them.

IJN fighters are scraps. They're only useful against other IJN ships. Otherwise they can't fight USN fighters, even 2 squad vs 1 at tier 9 USN fighters are still winning because ammo. They can't kill strike plane and even if you strafe you'll barely kill 2-3 plane / squad even if strafing by the side. Doesn't mean you can't have the upper hand tho.

Well I know it's RNG but it's really annoying when you do as you're supposed to but you get a middle finger in return. I'm not asking to delete every broadside cruiser I aim correctly at, in fact I think it shouldn't be possible. But I'd like to have some consistancy in my damages, hence why I'm asking if HE is viable or not. Of course the main value of BB gun is that it has good alpha strike, because afaik when it comes to DPM with HE cruisers have a higher DPM. But idk I feel that I'd better play dice than using AP on a cruiser's side. If I use HE I still have the strong tanking, hard to dislodge hull but hit maybe constant damage over cruisers. Of course vs other BBs side AP is quite reliable and doesn't buillshit that often.

Not talking under 5km, talking about pretty much any distance, but especially 8 - 12. In common wows mythology this is a deathzone for broadside cruisers but no matter how under funnel or how waterline my shots are they rarely citadel cruiser, nor pen them. Just overpen and no damages.

Grinded trough both Nagato and Gneisenau, and I loved Nagato as much as I hated Gneisenau. The Nagato has this power of inflicting minimum 10k to other battleship with every salvo for no reason. The Gneisenau has the power to have a dispersion so high that it can actually shoot behind his turrets, and to get penned like crapfrom the bow for no reason.

Doesn't seem that bad at least when I fight it with my Hak. The 2 fighter setup seems to do decent. Well maybe it's because I don't have my 5th captain perk yet idk, but it seems to get an overwhelming air superiority edge over my 2/3/3. Maybe it's just that the strike wing don't follow up. Will tell you when I4ll have unlocked it myself !

RTS are existing for like 30 years, there are games like Starcraft II allowing you to manage hundreads of units alongside production and defensive buildings, ressource gathering etc. It works on old computer, without shaking or bugging or lagging or whatnot by now. So why the [edited]CV UI looks like designed by a hamster and codded by the first and the worst trainee they found ? Why the [edited]whenever I try to micro 3 groups only a tiny bit it's shaky and that I have to select a group 3 time before it's actually selected ? That when selecting a group it sometimes give a random move command for no reason ? I suppose that it's "working as intended" heh ? "Various factor to make it a bit random and look like actual naval war" heh that's it ? Seriously. And before you say it's because I have a crapcomputer and whatnot, no it isn't. Tried at my brothers place with a 2k gaming computer and an other internet, it's exactly the same crap. I'm just so mad that there are thing I could mechanicaly do but since the UI somehow overload with crap150 APM I can't do it !
