Well WG is full of...ehh... balance. BTW I managed 45K, can't farm any harder.

Eh, can somebody tell these SCRUBS to quit the ROFLSTOMPS? Must be a new record.... @ClappingLollies @Romsa_

Well I think they're rather better than the Germans... Can't do over 100K in either the T6 nor the T8, I wonder WTF to do with them.

We found some SCRUBS in CB... I rolled over and died (thx @Carry_me_Daddy But.... my amazing clanteam carried hard and won. @lup3s escaped, we almost got his pelt but time ran out. You dirtyyyy CV scum... LOL! @T0byJug & @Leo_Apollo11 I recognized as well. WP & sink ya next time (I hope).

Ever tried Flint, I think it is pretty close at T7.

Nope, a DD can still fire torps even if he has 100HP left. What you are supposing is like a DD on 50%HP can only fire half the torps. Or a BB only being able to fire half the guns. Well, you can't make CVs behave that way. Even subs will be easier to balance. BTW Reeeework has been two years - not five... You're just being childish now. Removing the plane-platform AKA ship will not solve anything. What you want is nerfing CVs to just one, slowly diminishing squadron. It will not solve anything, just make them shut down quicker. Why not just have a countdown, after which all planes will explode as well?

The air-base is actually the ship. I don't see the argument, really. At least if there is a base floating around, players have the chance to shoot it. Zombie-regeneration is a problem indeed. But I do not hear comp[laints about invisible DDs reloading sh...oloads of torps. Oh wait... there were complaints about that... However having just a few planes and having them shot down would be like ships receiving damage and at 25%HP they have 1 turret left. Not gonna work mate. If you'd let planes get in, and consider that balanced, there is no need for a limit. 7X "air team" for CB, here we come. Well, you seem to think flying the planes is the actual enjoyment? It is not, really. The tactical placement of the nuke-base is also important. There is nothing evolutionary about what you think. I think it is lack of listening. And they tried very very little. Like you want to jump over a ditch, WG provides a pair of lead shoes. If that doesn't work they'll provide watertight boots, with lead... Duh.

I bet they'd start about PLANES in CB, but of course, that is the whole idea. You're a bit too easy to figure out mate. No ship = no CB. Duh. And though I agree that putting CVs in CB is kinda dumb, well... that idea of yours doesn't fly with me. WG just needs to fix CVs, not replace them by the next crap-o-matic invention. Current iteration is just balanced by "average damage in 12 vs 12". That's BS, too. Same as giving DDs 1.5km air-detection - LOL why not just give them a dive-mechanic. Oh wait...

Wutwutwut, and deny the DD players their PELTS? No way! That can be done whether there is a CV "body" floating around or not. The only thing that would change is the CV doesn't get to choose a "launch platform". But you'd remove the chance for players to take out the CV if he screws up position. Here's another idea: invite players form World Of Warplanes... Get a Premium Live Subscription and dakka real live adversaries... @MrConway how about it? Meh. I assume if you have a certain CV, after the removal of teh CCV you'd still have the planes. So, if you owned Ark Royal then there would be Swordfish planes flying in. If you'd own a German CV they'd be something else. IMO there are TWO real problems: - CV spotting everything. Everybody gets a free shot. --> remove that, just Minimap except for ships in a certain (8km?) radius (I think they experimented in CB, with cyclone). - AA sux. It is automated and as such there is no real challenge or satisfaction. --> involve some player action. Choice of FLAK pattern, click-aim, or whatever.

Well @MrConway some money to make here... I got most of what I wished for though. Hood, Queen Elizabeth, Ark Royal... now get me a Dido class and make it NOT SUCK. ...and yes someday I'll get that Warspite.

Don't worry masterrrrr I have 2nd place in EU with Ark Royal, someday I will manage to fai;ldiv into T10 with it and then I'll kill him.

There's another thing you can do. DIV UP with a CV. And yes you will learn to do the things @Sunleader has said. Remember them: Does it work? Yes it does. If you are too much trouble the CV will go look for something else. Unless he is @El2aZeR but then nobody is safe not even the red CV.

Crap like that always happened with me too. I think some of the players forget how buggy the interface could be. Might have been a large part of why they decided to change it. The autopilot in current version is probably a transplant of the RTS one.

I'd say that "feature" is working on ALL CVs but only available to those that paid lots of sheep to RNGesus. Or it is made sufferable to those that haven't... The disadvantage (for the spreaders), it leaves a gap to the next torpedo large enough for a BB to get through. That is, if he cared enough to send sheep to RNGesus but that should be self-explanatory. Can be an advantage in Shokaku, but not so much in Kaga. Or Ark Royal.

Yeah not enough targets to make bleed... It is doing good to compensate the evil deed of playing CV... Indeed. The only thing they are "balanced" is average damage in 12 vs 12 players. But well, I like Smolensk and Thunderer too. That is why I'll never be a moderator. I'll be enjoying it too much... Well I think they're fun, too (in a sadistic way...). Current bow-tanking meta being as much fun as watching paint dry. Objectively though, I think WG is nuts to have CV in CB. But that is also why I grinded them, I knew they'd do it anyway. SO, either you shall learn them, or your clan doesn't have a CV player and you're all screwed.

Well, maybe I should have put "set them on fire 10x during the 90 secs after they used DCP and the 60 secs ran out". Usually when a CV gets spotted he's screwed anyway as it is only a cruiser and, except T10 with the armoured deck, they take pens everywhere.

Yeah I usually do that to the enemy CV when I'm (usually) in Ark Royal. If I can get them, I will as I know CV has large influence on the game. However they still have armour (Lexington sure does, so do RN Cvs). ROFL didn't know about that DCP mod that it was usable for CV as wel hahahahah! Hmm. It is even worse than I thought. So I'd have to set fire every 5 seconds. ARGHH.

Didn't even know that, also I thought yes CV uses DCP (after 5 seconds? I thought immediately) - but if you set fire after that, it will burn longer. I am aware it has endless DCP. But it does have a 90 seconds cooldown. I usually score quite a lot of damage on CVs because of that. More than on other ships as they usually have a brain (well... most...). Farming fire damage from CV is easy... - usually they are standing still; - they don't shoot back unless you are in secondary range....; - and on other ships, I (finally) set a fire, he uses DCP, then my teammates set fires before I do... no use. Same as I do not use fire flags etc on Smolly. You set two fires at once - ship uses DCP... It is far better to set ONE fire which most leave to burn. As such, the "stupid b0t DCP" on CVs is easy to FF-over, like in co-op. Because none of them is? Also, be amazed at the steering, would not make a GK jealous. Then get a drunk autopilot... he'll manage to ram the biggest island even if there is only 1 on the whole map.

Could be, I don't know. Usually when a DD comes up close, CV is dead because he eats a full salvo anyway. And when he gets spotted he gets finished off by the BBs. It's not like CVs are (exposed) cruiser food. I'll still drop 'em when given the chance, usually when i did a torpedo run on a BB. Though I admit I'm not beyond shooting the enemy CV with rockets on the first "spotting flight". Usually causes a fire. Some CVs actually take pens, too.

Actually it does, and it also eats citadels like a cruiser when broadside. The thing is WG has given AUTOMATED damage control. CV-player himself is not allowed to do it, and cannot do anything about it. So, a CV uses the DCP immediately. If you set him on fire again, he WILL burn for a while. Same with floodings and all that. HOWEVER since WG automated it, CV have unlimited DCP parties. And other CV can still attack the CV. Needs to beware that CV has the best AA of all. And fighters. Then again... with crap like Hallands floating around, the other CV starts becoming a more attractive target...

Well if Arizona is 5 points, I want to see a battle between 20 Arizonas and 4 Klebbies. Or bring 10 Acasta vs 2 Yamato. Also, we keep forgetting: GIB YORKIE, WG!!

They did, at T6 what they got was CV + 6 Graf Spee What they should do is, give 100 points for CB, make it T6-T10. Give points to every ship, max = 100 points total. Then, if a ship becomes "meta", raise those points by 10 next season. That way you'll end up with some sort of "balance". But still, @Excavatus I bet some ships will be better than others. If for 10 points you can pick Arizona or Ark Royal, well...

I killed a Gearing, a Mino, 2 Somers, and a Z52 in my Conqkek this evening... slapped many cruisers too (including a Venezia). My teammates killed 2 Cvs, 3rd one we couldn't get before timer ran out. What do I win? '

We used a Conqkek, a Kremlin, a Daring and a Harugumo...

I have it from another trusty source, the pope plays CV... https://wows-numbers.com/player/503416009,Heavenfinger/
