From what I hear and see (have not tested myself) - the T4 CVs are pretty much useless. The best you can do is spot and harrass a DD I guess. And at the same moment, they create Hakuryu. I really dont know how those concepts even passed the initial stage of testing, let alone that we have both of them on the live servers. Whatever you think about the rework, I think one thing is clear: it wasnt ready to be rolled out on the live server.

Its a really good idea and would make balancing easier. But WG wont go for that either. Because Ideas like these are almost as old as the game itself. I once came up with (most likely someone else had the idea even before me, im pretty sure) to give all T8 cruisers a heal, when they are in a T9 or T10 match, to balance them better against the cruisers with heal and the stronger BBs. Since that never happened, I have little hope for this :( I can tell you what the problem with this mechanic is: the difference in skill of the CV player. Some players cant dodge anything. Thus they hardly get any drops off right now. On the other hand, the good CV players almost completly avoid the flak-explosions. So they dont lose any planes at all or very few, which is 100% ignorable. And if the Devs make it somehow harder to dodge them or increase the continous damage, it will make it only worse in on or the other direction. So how do you balance that? You cant, hence the current mechanic is a problem. The thing is: some players will lose all their planes, other will hardly lose any. This results in the following: bad CV players are shut down pretty quick, while they already have achieved nothing. Good CV players dont care and continue towards their next dmg record. Reason see above. I always loved to play against CVs when im in a DD. Even in cases, where i divisioned with a CV, I usualy played a DD. So your analysis is missing the mark.

Alabama? Or Asashio? Oh no, wait, you mean Anterprise, right?

One of the problems, that was always there and has never been addressed. CVs always needed a +/- 1 mm, now more then ever before. But why type our fingers bloody, nothing will ever change, smug_octavian knows everything better.

Many games seem to end this way right now...

completly delusional. Which is my other account then? Are you refering to El2aZer? But its funny that you mention double accounts... Unlike you I dont have to talk with my additional accounts to bump up my self-esteem. And in your case its even three.

Im absolutly with you there. Infacts - before it came into the game, it was a cheat, there is no denying that. Its retarded and gives huge advantages against ships, that need to be stealthy and/or use smoke - like RN CLs. Well, just another one of WGs superb ideas. The longer I play this game, the more I see, how rotten to the core this company is. Shame on them what they did to the game.

Well, not sure if I agree with the 99%, because IMO its more people, that are capable of this. Anyway. In general, im on your page, when it comes to the spotting, since I see this as a problem myself. However - im pretty sure WG will not pay any attention to your suggestion - even if it would be an improvement.Ive spend so many hours discussing CVs in particular over the last years and never did they even concider even one thing, that came from the community. Im 100% positive, the community, when the ideas would have been filtered and tested, would have created RTS CVs, both better then we have now and had before. Im disillusioned, sorry. WG will do, what is best for their wallet. And these CVs will make BBs with russian style DCP much stronger. Oh, russian BBs soon - what a coincidence, isnt it? So, nothing huge is going to change in the near future, im sure of it.

Its not luck for some. You still havent payed enough attention to the example posted. Its 2 consecutive salvos and he deleted 2 ships. Trust me - he does this all the time. But im fine with that, w/e, will makes things easier for me... Not as good as him in doing that, but I could show you the same match, a little bit earlier, where I do the same as he does and matter of fact hit the very same Jean Bart, that he kills, while that JB is undetected.

Does not. You can cleary tell from the pictures.

Dont worry. Soon there will be a new T5 premium BB at the horizon: glorious Novorossiysk ! With improved DCP (and maybe some radar on top? ) Then we all can happily spend money again to get our GC back. For all that dont know: They are the same ship. Now everyone need to think again and think hard if WG really "wants the best for the balance". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_battleship_Giulio_Cesare

The problem is really - once again - the timing. GC is out for years. It was known to be OP. Did WG care? nope. Why? Because it made a $$$itton of money. They grabbed every channel possible. Dubloons, premium shop and even made it available through "you can get it if you gamble enough with our secret RNG-system" during last Xmas. Obviously, GC has forfiled its duty aka. filling the pants of WG with cash. And people claiming, GC owners only want to protect their toy, while beeing angry at the same time for not having it, should be careful, what they ask for. Or did you already forget, what happened the last time, aka the CW-rework? My position is clear. Did GC need a nerf? Yes, no doubt. It needed one before it got released. Should it be nerfed now? Nope. When you didnt see a reason to touch the ship for that long, you shall keep your dirty paws of it WG! Their greed is so obvious these days that im discusted from the entire game....

How much bs do you want to write today? - He didnt dislike RTSs CVs. - There is no "CV as a whole". There is CV A und CV B. They have nothing in common. One got removed from the game, the other introduced. We have a new class of ships, that only used the name of the old one. Newsflash: The new CVs are here, the old ones are gone. And you want to tell people to... stop talking about the current situation? shall we gather around the campfire and tell stories from the old days, when CVs were still real CVs?

What a surprise! Now the only question, that remains: How many hundred times did he sink you in those 3 battles? @Yaskaraxx can you ask your Magic-8-Ball erm... scientific database?

To me its round the other way, beause I like RTS in general. But yea, personal preferences dont tell much about a good game. I think,that was always one of the problems with CVs. Because it felt like that particular player can roam in on you and gets away unharmed. It is actually the reason, why some of those guys, that exclusivly play CVs have chosen to do so - because they cant stand to be sunk themself. This problem was... completly untouched. In a way, it seems actually worse now.

So much, that you deleted your own account with a cringe-worty rage thread in this very forum a couple of weeks ago.

bs.

Shorter games = you play more games in the same time = you use more signals / camos etc = more money for WG. at the same time: Shorter games = less XP / credits across the board = economy tightend = more people will convert real money into credits (!) to keep playing. (Ive seen this on idiots streaming on twitch, yep, its real)

And how fast they reacted, right? Its almost as if... they reached a point, where GC doesnt contribute to their income, since almost everyone has one. And then there was something called "Santas Gift" which was advertised with GC in one of the first lines...

Glorious strategy. First, make people exchange real money for some ingame currency. Then make it useless. After that, offer refunds in that useless ingame currency.

WG seems to be tired of their own game. It starts to feel like very late at night at a bar. First, they stop serving you hard liqueur. then - no more beer. Next thing you know, the bartender shuts off all lights. By then you slowly start to realize "maybe its time to go home".

Lul. you are right. thats weird. The normal reaction when cornered up and faced with facts.

You check wows-numbers.com, pick a player and then click on details for a specific ship. or you check the all-time records.

Good point. Id like to freeze my ~45 days aswell until this mess is sorted (if, that is).

A) keep your eyes closed B) your mother might tell you otherwise, but trust me: You aint the center of the universe. Yes. One of the best RTS CV-Players of the server is incompetent. buahahahahaha. You are awesome dude, entertain us more please.
