As a DD main myself nothing infuriates me more than a T8-10 DD sailing their merry way to destruction... I have a tendency to ask them at which tier did they stop and just fxp there way up. I learned a valuable lesson which was drummed into me from here..research your enemy. But it is not just DD's either as last night a double Tirpitz division who did nothing but motion at the A_B lines for almost the whole game eventually coming down when 7 of our team were dead.... The team kept asking them for help to which they received the reply "What?" Or in another game last night a Musashi who ran from 2 Cruisers even though he was supported by a Neptune and Karba....I told him he should not bring his Tier 5 brain into Tier 9 ships.... Last night I played 5 ranked and had 5 straight victories, 4 random and suffered 4 defeats because players made moves that beggar belief... I guess that now the schools are closed these futile games will become more commonplace... at least for a while anyway...

Probably not until the player numbers reduce to below 6 thousand..

BB's and Cruisers now have extra storage space for a full squad of aircraft, I know that this game isn't fully realistic but seriously.... Do you think WG has run out of ideas and is just implementing ideas from an unmonitored suggestions box without actually taking the time to see what damage these changes will do to the game? If the guys who are good in CV's are rolling their eyes at these changes, most likely buying things as they go, does it make sense to drive them away... I wonder how long it will take WG to change these reworks... because I fear that, as others have said, this may ultimately kill the game...

I have seen Carriers in ranked, admittedly not often, they were never omitted...

@El2aZeR Thank you for the breakdown..as I am not a CV player I thought the change may have been a handicap at the start.. however, after viewing several videos about the rework this change is going to be a nightmare for me as a DD player. The minute any DD begins a cap then the CV has an easy target and if the CV perma spots then the DD may well just end his game there and then because either the CV will sink him (Most Likely due to the reload work) or it's allies will because the CV need not withdraw its aircraft... If fighters are no longer effective then there is no protection and you may as well strip your ship of AA defense given the rework of that too.. This is going to drive away a lot of people.. As a DD player primary with radar and standard CV's you had a chance to escape.. I fear this rework removes any chance.... How do the Catapult Aircraft of BB's or Cruisers rate now are they now next to useless?? WG you may as well add a scuttle option to the ships now..

It says the very same to me and I am no CV player...

I am a player who had a really disastrous start, mainly because I did not take advice, but nowadays my WR is climbing on the ships I enjoy the most (My DD's)... I am hoping that as I enjoy DD play this rework doesn't become a death sentence for DD play... Guess only time will tell.. Watching the Stuntman video he touched on something I previously said in that ships will need to interlock their AA fire to have a chance of repelling incoming attacks.

@Xevious_Red I am interested and thank you.

Thanks for taking the time to reply... I had thought the way Fara was playing that he may have turned the game... I will return my Saipan because I am not a CV player... I like my DD's too much and will be watching closely once the rework is launched just to see what impact these changes will have.. Just one final question, which may have been answered already.. these CV changes cover all tiers of CV or just the higher ones?

@Stormwindt Now we shall never know..did Ed make it or did it finally succumb... and thank you for taking the time Just watching this one Video, the CV rework is going to make a massive change to my DD game play. Doesn't it totally destroy the lone Wolf sneak attack for once detected the CV can stay with the DD and it will eventually be destroyed... and the speed they fly... But, if the CV is just focusing on a single ship isn't the rework a downgrade for CV's? Currently, CV players can be anywhere on the map with different groups of aircraft, spotting, attacking, defending, but this focus on a single group, irrelevant of their near supersonic speeds, makes their input less.. doesn't it? I am not a CV player so if my comment seems funny I am just trying to give you insight into what I see... Going to digest some more Videos.. Are there any videos from other people who are playing ships other than the new CV rework line?.. it would be interesting to see how they cope against the new rework.. I also purchased the Saipan not long after starting the game..will there be a refund option for this ship because I have no interest in being a CV player?

Having watched the Video, not being a CV guy, I am curious.. If I have read this right a single squadron flies like a rocket from point to point, doesn't need to return to rearm, is no longer deterred by AA and the CV player has an unlimited aircraft capacity... the only drawback is that the CV can only control 1 group of planes or his ship.... I didn't see the guy engage enemy aircraft with his planes so how does a CV counter enemy CV activity? I don't see how the CV is going to be an asset after the rework unless he is perma spotting a DD.. Remember I am not a CV player but just giving an opinion from what I have watched... and did the Edinburgh get Sunk?

You have to log out and log in again to get it to work if your in game already...

I keep getting invalid code. Any ideas? Edited: as @FallenOrchid has said remove the brackets..

Never thought of that outcome.. I have on occasion been trapped in an area I just cannot get out of near or next to an island.. I think you're dead right there.

A shell penetrates and hits a magazine... Detonation. Happens in real life why not here? @quickr 1. Absolutely agree that an Island ram should incur a flooding penalty. Haven't seen a ship yet who hasn't torn a hull from an impact on rocks. HMS Nottingham springs to mind.... 2. Have to say that I also agree... as a DD primary.. it takes away a sneak attack possibility to be auto detected behind an Island because my opponent/target is closer than 2km. 3. Not so important for me. 4. Coastal targets/gun sites/artillery/airfields in normal games might stifle game play because there is already enough to do. 5. Totally agree.

In a recent game an allied DD suggested that DD's need RL. As it is a 4 point skill and having never equipped my DD's with RL I turn to you guys for advice.. Is it a beneficial skill to have for your Destroyer?

Okay, so I have completed 8 games in my Gearing with RL... My tally is 3 defeats and 5 victories. 1st game lost because of being unused to using RL and forgetting it is not a range finder but a positional marker... Beyond that I can now see what a valuable skill it is for my style of game play.. it fits me like a glove.. So, I like it and I am grateful for your help.

I don't think you're an [edited] of any kind but you were given plenty of help and feedback, not just from me.. Your internet connection is rubbish so if you want better games you must improve it..it is that simple.

That's it you're off to the Naughty Step...

edited* You're a Beta Tester and you don't understand the replies you have been given... Is this actually your account? Maybe you should put Daddy on....

You want to play a stable game improve your connection if you can... If you're playing using a wireless connection can you go wired? If you're piggy backing another signal try to play at a time when demand is low...

If you're on an unreliable connection, either you're wireless is poor or you're piggy backing another wifi signal, you suffer constant drop outs and of course the mechanics of the game will penalise you... But, I have never known an Orange punishment for it so this has happened to you regularly... Check your connection speed, signal strength and improve it if you can...

How could you? The outrage, the shame.... the absolute lower than low... Did it work?

I have so far played 3 games using RL on my Gearing.. using it changes my game completely and in using RL I can also mark where the enemy is with some accuracy. So far I like the skill and will definitely keep it equipped. @a_p_u_l_e_i_u_s the videos were a great help.

Just finished watching the videos and I like what I saw.....I will re skill one of my level 19 Captains and see how it plays out. (Edited) Gearing first... watch this space..
