DM has 27mm extremes and 30mm deck iirc?

I think they said 0.8.2 as the earlyest possible date of release so thats end march beginning of april? Indomitable (thats the name of the prem rn cv?) should get released by then if the line goes live in that patch as well but it remains to see if we get a chance at it in 0.8.1 via lootboxes or not (as we will for the silver cvs) or some early access however is it advisable to buy it? Ehh that remains to be seen...

Well economy wise i pulled some 150k profit per run in the operation of the week iirc both using ruyo and ranger with revolutionary camo and zulu flag on them, soooo i guess its ok-ish, its about the same cash i get for a run in a premium bb or cruiser i ended up doing some 100-120k damage in most of those runs i have premium accaunt ofc, more money is always welcome though

Oh dont get me wrong I would really prefer 3 or 4 torps and bombs from say a ruyo per run just not sure the target would

Oh but you see targeting system such as in the wows with a set max dispersion elipse has an effect - increasing the number of planes ie missiles launching in a strike makes you able to hit way more often then a linear addition would suggest simply becouse of more missiles saturaiting the elipse area hence having a chance to roll a hit (and critical hit) thats why say dropping 3 instead of 2 bombs in a same elipse gives you way more then 50% damage boost also if you widen the elipse (or torp drop field) a bit it gets way easyer to aim and hit something and again speeds up dealing damage way more then linear

Problem is even now while i am spotting you in your dd for the team i cant do anything else since your detection is so small i cant set up a strike while you are spotted (exept dbs) but can only fly over you back and forth in tightest possible circles so you dont drop out of detection, what you purpose would have to come with the ability to outright kill you in real time and with 1-2 flights of planes since then i am then the only counter to you if you ate not ship spotted and we wouldnt like that now would we?

Oh but you see they are not as of 8.0.3 you litteraly cant see a dd untill you re right on top of him it goes so far that it became nigh impossible to use rockets or torps on a dd since when you see him there just isnt enough time to correct aim you need to drop them from partially zeroed in sights or start the run before he is spotted, db are a bit better dince they have a tight nombong run but ijn ap bombs are not quite the chice weapon to use on a dd now are they...

I know, IIRC they said something in the lines of "they will see" when asked about it

Yeah skillgap... You can fly around to spot, and fly, and fly some more but what you cannot do is strike at least not untill the late match and tbh - its bs, becouse i can strike in a dd from 2-3 min in (time needed to sail into range) it doesnt even matter if im bottom tier since if i chose a reasonabbly strong ship you will burn and flood or die by the torp strike be you 2 down of me or up just the same, if i take out a cruiser i can strike from 2-3 min as well, ie as soon as i am in range of the enemy and again you will burn if you are 2 tier up or down just the same, ok it sucks to be hit in a cruiser and when enemy has heal and you dont but thats the life of a cruiser captain, if i take a bb out i can often strike as soon as first enemy is spotted (bar i know how to aim) its usually not wery effective, but you can do it and closer you get more you will hit and more it will hurt the enemy when you do BUT with current state of cv you cant do crap at least untill somebody yoloes like a moron (luck factor) or they are plucked clean of their aa (late game) and especially not if you are bottom tier, it goes so far that some ships (mino, wooster and similar) can even yolo freely if you are bottom tier in a cv it doesnt matter becouse they just annihilate your planes in seconds, before all these spotting nerfs were implemented you could at least do that but now you are just a joke...

When analysing increase in number of games played there are 2 things to consider though - 1. novelty factor and 2. many of us that were not cv mains but took them up at some point didnt play high tier cvs before for a very simple reason - expected rework, you couldnt really pull your weight in t9/10 cvs without polishing your skills and putting all that elbow grease and time into something you know will be replaced by something entierly different in few months and looms over the horizon was rather pointless... I was part of the first cv test wave when it went public test and stated that as a concept it is ready and we got it in prerry much unchangwd shape as predicted, its not even bad in itself for fun factor imo BUT this what they are doing now with basically making it spotting class only is sort of ridiculous, and "muh, git good" argument folks can sod off, i dont claim to be much of a player and certanly not unicum, I am sort of awerage but if i struggle to put out ANY meaningfoul damage out in randoms (especially when low tier) after 10k+ battles played - many (if not most) other players will and if i find it tiresome, unrewarding and in the end not really worth the bother - most other will give up even sooner and the (supposed) goal of increasing cv numbers in the long run will fail miserably

I dont think they ll change cb tbh its quite established as it is and quite popular as well so no need to fix?

Suggestion? Ok here it goes... 1. Remove this action system and restore RTS control and fix the UI for it 2. Remove strafing mechanic for fighters but leave manual dropping for assault planes BUT have only one sqadron of each plane type (no crossdroping) ie 1 fighter, 1 db 1 tb 1 ap (or even make only 3 awailable and swirch them around as the national flavour) 3. Increment number of plaines in the sqadron +1 per tier upgrade of the cv, ie since we have only even numbered tiers now - say base of 3 or 4 for tier 4 up to 6-8 for tier 10 cv and make those skills that give you additional plane/s influence strike planes and fighters seperatley (2 skills needed to have both bonuses) and make it 3 and 4 pt skills respectively so you pay for that advantage with captian points 4. Make AA short/long range split, short range is boosted by dfaa that panics drop and gives say 100% dps bonus on it and long range AA is boosted by MCFAA only and not influenced by dfaa 5. Make dfaa interchangable with hydro or engine on ALL ships as a rule (no dual on us cls) they can have it doubled up on few premiums to give them some real purpose (italian, atlanta) 6. Reduce speed of aerial torps but increase torp acceleration bonus and penalty while leaving arming distance intact (you need to be precise to make use of the speed) make torps do less damage then ship torps but have eqal/more flood chance 7. Make the reserves of the cv finite and you can choose various loadouts/decks before battle to change number (maybee even type of planes) of the type you carry

There are no reserves anymore anyhow

Mostly usless cvs take no risks, those that are worth their salt for their team want to be as up close and personal with the reds as its feasable since it not only reduces "empty flight time" (time you spend flying back and forth with your squadrons without doing damage or spotting) but also makes you able to bring your considerable aa power to bare in defence of your team

And what happens when the red dd smokes up i rush and murder him in my desmo and then take up position in his smoke to burn down his team?

@OP Well afair the plans were something like cv rework/rn cvs then ru bbs, french dds and italian cl/ca line - sooo no?

Naval battles are not clan battles though

And then you get in a t9 match all tfe time with your t7 bb that gets overmatched by everything there...

No smoke? Ok then question is - what replaces it? I mean what s the selling point? Why have it instead of taco you can have for free?

Well if its freexp it will cost (presumed) 1mil freexp to unlock and then 1 doubloon to buy as with all previous freexp ships?

Becouse they are not worth it, its a long established practice that prem ship is just a little weaker then the correspondung line ship and in current state of affairs the line cv is already a bad place to be in for most of the time, especially a t8 cv that pretty much all the time has t10 opponents in the mm hence waiting the silver lines to be balanced out "mechanic wise" and then some more to tweak premiums to be "just a little bit weaker but still intwresting"? No thx, have better uses for the gold, besides they are old premiums and known path is new ship powercreeps old, hence most likely candidate to buy a premium t8 cv if I should decide to do that will be the rn one

I never liked nagato but its not so bad to warrant skipping it, in fact i dont think any jap bbs are nowdas, you can skip the initial grind (go straight to upgraded modules) with that freexp though, much more enjoyable experience in any silver ship imo...

Funny thing is - as far as I can make out us emphasis is on DBs and IJN is on TBs and RN are supposed to be APs - the wery thing that was just nerfbatted and made nearly usless ^^ I really have to wonder who wg thinks will freexp or pay money for the premium camos or ships of that line in this condition? Then again I see the wichitas sailing around and get depressed

I once had an desmo sidebranch on my missouri for quite a while we both laughed are butts off in chat about it we just couldnt split apart it was hilarious

No
