Quite a lot... but you might as well say, depends on how much you change captains. I try to have one premium for every line I grind. But if I have not, no problem. BTW seems like I now have 6 premiums for Russian cruisers, somehow. The only one I once bought was Krispy Kreme...

Muhaaaaaa well Enterprise is not just broken but also OP AF. That is why they (WG) removed it. And yes if it was you-know-who then certainly he'd be able to pull 3 flights out of it. You were lucky really, usually I see a T8DD attacked by Enterprise, well it needs 2 attacks and that is it. And yes I don't think it is much fun either, and I know there is nothing you could do about it really.

Usually you can't do that. But it is POSSIBLE to have 3 fly-outs with rockets. If you ditch one squad of the first flight, then they will re-supply. You use the other two. Returning, there is a "fresh" squad, then you use that (but send a few home first). If you don;t do it too fast, you may have another one ready for third flight (but not a full one). That said, how "limping" was it when 3 rocket quads were needed?

Once you have a few 19 pointers floating around, this is no problem. At least I never have to spend gold or whatever.

The PS4 version would also be an option.

Shows. We weren't able to save our team. Almost, but not quite. But have a look how to deal with CV in a DD, he almost killed the Lexi, too.

Yeah I do that too, but I also do a lot of "hey he just smoked up, so..." tricks. Mostly I try out what works and what doesn't. Ark Royal I know, now start on the Ryujo... man that thing is a beast.

Watch out if it's me because I will hit DDs with torpedoes... Sometimes I just throw them because I want that DD (or other ship) to got the other way... And I'll do "fake attacks" too. Seriously, the Reeework would have been much better (maybe even good... well.. naahhh) if WG had listened.

What is a lot? The camo came free, sometimes they have a grind where you can get ships or camo or something. 6.000 battles is quite a lot indeed... what is worse... check my stats... currently #3 most played Ark Royal in EU... and still no GitGud LOL I know about the dazzle camo indeed. I like the "original" stuff. I'd pat y a bit more for good camo. Say, I'd want perma-camo for ship A and it is 5,-- i'd gladly pay 7.50 if it is any good/nice looking. Quiet sure though that others have different taste and would rather have My Little Ponies. But I'm OK with that (I can turn it off...)

We have the replay... from both ships... (oh and he almost killed the Lexi, too) 20200412_233433_PJSA108-Shokaku_53_Shoreside.wowsreplayLe Fantasque perspective with Shokaku Replay.wowsreplay

You sure about that mate.... (you are not the only one trying GitGud method).

That's why I said "seems legit". I have met players like you. One I had he was hiding behind an island and I never expected him there, he shot down 5 before I knew where he was. Then I went back get some more planes and he had moved off... to somewhere illogical... could not find him. Later on he almost managed to torp my lazy CV butt. Almost.... not quite though. Gave him a +1, great player that one.

Three planes per battle seems legit. I bet he turns off his AA, then engages it once he knows they are coming for him. Better yet, engage it with the "O" sector key and do not use P-key. If you can make them overshoot (because they spotted you too late) and aim at their butts, sure possible. Then again... 3 planes per battle isn't that great and will not make much difference to damage taken.

AFAIK you can use the "very well done" Frosty Fir Tree camo... I have to buy camos if I'm out, also for low tier ships. Even if they do not give the advantage of higher tier perma-camo.

Well, you'll find that aiming torpedoes and bombs on CLs and BBs is too hard for some. Also they have a difficult time understanding FLAK and fly straight into it. So that is why at T6 all they do is kill DDs. At T4 there is no AA< so now that is all they do. At T8 it gets worse. They farm the low tier DD... all game needed to kill him. And at T8 playing CV costs credits. They never make it to T10... Seriously I do not even go for the DDs anymore except if needed. They are too easy to kill I find it no sport at all. Sure will do if needed, but chase them? Nope. Mostly I play Ark Royal because that is some sort of challenge/LOL.

1/3rd for me, but it is because I don't play DDs. If I would it would be 1/4th. So I am suffering a bit with you... but only a little bit

Well, we don't agree on that then. That's fine. But I see that you have been AWOL for a while, maybe you'll reconsider. Thing is, there is no more auto drop. You have to aim by yourself... I think too, CVs are broken. Maybe the introduction of subs will soften it a bit though. Since we will no doubt get those too, maybe it is an option to ditch rockets and replace with ASW. It will make DD life a bit less miserable.

Dude... you are quite good ina DD, but let me assure you in a T8 Cv if you need whole game to kill a T6 DD... ask @El2aZeR if that is any good. So far I had only ONE of those DDs being too much of a hassle, and it was because THE MASTERRR himself was in the CV on the other side. I'm quite sure he had a hard on for your DD because he was kinda limp getting anything else, really. But well. As you wish. Well the autopilot is one of the things that prevent me from taking the CV forward. And that I agree with, WG could have done the Reeeeeeework a LOT better.

That's the thing... it is irrelevant to me, and most others that have >50 WR in a CV. However... I'd not take a whole game to kill a T6 DD when in a T8 CV... The ones that do, usually DO HAVE problems with flak - which is why they CANNOT take on other ships than the poor DD. That is not the point. The point is T8CVs are stronger than they need to be because of the "gap". And he still took all game... which means he wasn't any good. Yeah I already thought that. I see the point too. If they park that doesn't make the autopilot any better eh. Maybe some of them would not park if the autopilot was better. Also, if you use autopilot on other ships, you actually watch the ship. In CV, more compared to having to follow the shells. True. Sometimes I even manage to mash the last ones and win. Does, maybe the cynical remark got a bit lost there. CV sucks for DDs. There is some stuff that you can do to try avoid, but there is NOTHING you can do in return. Yeah I think you and me agree on how we would LIKE it to be. Well if you don;t ask any questions you just might get crap.

I'm quite happy to have this (from a grind somewhere). Would not mind paying a bit more for permaflage if it looked like this. Hate those monstrosities though... good job you can turn them off.

It does... he chased Dds because he can't farm ships that have more FLAK. If he needs all game to kill a T6Dd when he has a T8Cv... granted he can't do it. the even tier is because WG expect that if they have uneven tiers they will have longer waiting times. And since that T8 CV now also has to function at T10, LOL how he had to chase you for all match.... True, but he also hasn't got the possibility. Or is arty in WoT also visible even more than the fattest BB that has just fired? True. However if you have a CV with slow planes, the closer you are the better. You have no idea how bad is is. Try it for LULzzz. It plots a route across the map. Now watch what happens. Suddenly, a fluentturn gets mangled into a FWD-RWD fest. It will do that if you do not keep an eye on it. Or it will ram you into an island. I have been killed by autopilot -crap more than by my own stupidity and laziness. Chances are you can run and farm some more before you lose, yes. Now how good do you think he was... in a T8CV vs a T6DD... man... "eventually"... LOL. I think your experience was mega-crap, there is not much you can do if CV wants you dead. However if it took him all match you took him out of the game, sort of, so you did well for your team. Poor comfort though... So, if you have many old players that spend nothing, you find something new. Then they go spend money on that or they hate it, but oif they go no matter because they weren't spending anymore anyway. See, this is the mistake. They play short, so they use less server resources. If they spend just as much they are THE BEST players WG can have. A matter of money gained over time. If i they draw enough new ones it doesn't matter. Which they do. That is where you are wrong. You had a service, paid for it (or not) and that's it. WG needs nothing, just your money. It is like frequenting a streetwalker and then expecting her to love you after a while. I'll go find it.

...waiting for coal Russsian totally-not-OP-broken-ship (but I have Moskva)

This should make you think. A T8 Dd that needs all game going after a T6 DD... heheheh he can't be very good... So that actually proves my point: "some CV players that is all they can do, they lack ability to take the larger ships" Hard to imagine maybe but some cannot take on larger ships... "the flak is too heavy"... LOL. What you must do is cut off AA at first, then smack it on when they are near enough. And a GOOD player will get your DD no matter what. But it works against most (average) Cvs. Yes the higher tier EU DDs get real fat AA, true. But it is also because there are only uneven tier Cvs. Meaning a T6 CV must be able to face T8. the "jump"from T8 to T10 is not that big for a CV. It is because a T10 CV never faces T12. Well now what is the point, the spotting or the being at back of map? And I'd say try to use that autopilot if you think he's OK... They never tried, really. Then explain why a T8 Cv chased your T6DD for the whole game. I'm not that good yet I will whack a T6 DD with a T6CV in 5 minutes, tops. In a T8 CV... he'll not survive even one flight out. When a company starts to be succesfull that is where the big whigs take over. That is why so many promising games kick off niocely and then get ruined. Not a new one. But you must understand that players are only interesting when they buy stuff. True. But it also means that old players, who already bought everything, are no longer interesting.

Well I can "hold my own" but I'm not THAT good. Aside from some ships that are kinda broken/OP. But with a ship that I normally do 50%, one divvy = 60% and two divvies = 70% WR. Usually... because we know how it works, and we can usually make it work. But there's days that even divving up will not save a cart of....

I don't think I am much better... I have a divvy who is a DD-main and he also plays the subs. That helps. Most of the subs that made it to the end of the game to attack me were divisions. The "solo" ones do not get that far (they die first or maybe they do not dare). Most solo ones are also too much "mine mine mine" so they attack one BB with 3 subs, BB gets hit with 16 torps, wasting all heir torps, while 2 other BBs get away. And then they curse at the one sub that gets the kill. But that is nothing new I see that in randoms too.
