I never really go onto the forums because its usually where people argue about something so pointless and they are either pro or against something, but I just want to leave something for WG to maybe see and they might add it to other with a similar view.
the way I see it is that CVs are terrible for both playing and playing against. Sometimes your planes melt and there is nothing you can do, or people dont take all that much damage and it seemed like a pointless strike, the those on the receiving end can either take 2k damage in a montana etc or take 18k drops in a moskva with no counterplay what so ever from bombers. Its currently way too divided between power and balance. And it says it all when it changed how DDs play now... like thats bad for the game. everyone complained (rightfully so, its OP as h*ll) when the Conq. was released is now because it brought a crappy meta and really didnt add to the game in any way, it ruined the way BBs were played, and now thats happening again but WG can make changes as its an overall system thats at fault.
I dont think it needs to go back to RTS, there just needs to be more of a skill barrier on either end - a good CV player can avoid AA,chose a target properly and work around the attack runs etc BUT then BB, CA/CL and DD players can also do something against the drops or making the CV think twice about attacking at that moment such as when DFAA is active. they just need to make it better for all players and not just the CV player who lets face it, has no punishment for losing planes and being careless, and sits at the back of the lines not worried about losing 20k to someone they cant counter.
thats all i'll say because I hate the forums, jsut want to let WG know what i think about their update
(also all the effects with AA flack and fire + planes going down looks amazing, never change that stuff!!!!!)
