Can you really expect a random collection of potatoes to know what a CV can do and what it cannot do? CVs have high impact on the game - look at them like a BB having the magic ability to pop up at different places on the battlefield. But IMO even a CV cannot carry a game, in general (OK unless you are @El2aZeR in Enterprise). Even then, if team decides to throw it... they will. CVs are, however, by far the most influential factor. THE BOSS. So, if the whole lot fails, who gets the blame? That's right. THE BOSS. So, you have to TAKE IT LIKE A BOSS or do not play CV. Also, the only judge of your performance is YOU. Ask yourself: - Did you end up higher than the enemy CV? (if not, why..)? - Do you end up somewhere top three often enough? - Have a look at stats, how is your average? https://wows-numbers.com/player/503720384,DrMechano/ BTW: Seems to me you're doing fine. I'll check that later, but I haven't got Shokaku yet, only IJN up to T6. I have the whole US line and the RN up to T8 (plus Ark Royal). As such, I'll know what ships to attack and where - but I'll not be able to tell if you could have "made that turn", or "better have used"... BTW I might learn a thing or two from that replay... as I have just about grinded out the T6 IJN CV.

Give it a different loadout, for example give it depth-charges instead of rockets. Give it sonar-planes or whatever they can think of.

Well, look at it this way - if you already have an STD, why would you use a rubber?

He's prrobably not even aware what he is asking... BTW if he does keep up to the bargain, get Ark Royal, I'm waiting to know what you'll do with that one. MASTER WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR.

Well ehh... others helped as well. Then again, I also took a bite out of some other asses. BTW I suppose those are not my stats (it would be surprising) In theory though, I could sink at least one Currywurst with Ark Royal - in damage-numbers. But what I meant was, it was pretty close and all that was left was me (the Implodable), a low health cruiser and that Currywurst. We had to kill the Currywurst to win, which I did. (I had somewhere 85k damage though). I'd say any other CV would have killed him easier.

Yes I can imagine that, can you also imagine Russian T10 CV with Mig 15 and nukes... after all... Well, never mind, I'll show myself to Gulag thanks.

Meh. I'm not that interested in paper ships. Graf Zep is OK-ish, but the rest... I'd rather see them fill in the uneven tiers. And bring some more premiums. They'd be easy to do since they have lots of models, just mix/match what they have. @MrConway hey there's your New Year bonus, get cracking!

I'd most likely go for Kaga, maybe Saipan (I already have Ark Royal). Premiums are usefull to me for grinding and captain training, already ground out the US line. Working on RN (and have Ark Royal), next up IJN - so Kaga it would be. Graf Zeppelin, well it is kinda mega-meh. And it is not usefull for a line as there isn't any... Also, there is such a thing as Pay To Win, now WG invented Pay To Suck. Well.

Well, yesterday had a T10 game, first time ever I was missing some planes in Implacable. Never mind, saved me the squad shortening. Also, despite having only 2 torps per attack (ridiculous! Even the T4 have as much!) still killed Currywurst.

I suppose it will be a great vehicle to carry....

It's the new Derpitz...

If you can do Edinburgh, you can do Neptune. It is Edinburgh but more extremely so. The DAKKA is insane. But so is the citadel, it is quite a bit larger. And it has no brakes whatsoever. Ram islands, preferably. And, contrary to the Edinburgh, it actually has torps. A load of them. Minotaur is better in every way - I'd even call it "tanky", compared to Neptune. Not that it is anything but paper, but at least not WET paper. You will actually be able to deflect SOMETHING. In both of them, you'll appreciate a CV that spots.... if it is your own CV. But while I can play radar-Edinburgh... I can't play radar-Mino (yet). The dakka is insane though. Has to be experienced to be believed. Wreck-team/troll-division: Worcester, Mino and CV...

Well, the keyword here is "broadsiding". If WG had made the CVs such that they needed broadsiding to do any good, at least some counterplay would be possible. But against some/most it doesn't matter much. It only helps against torps. Besides - most planes are sooooo damn fast they'll hit/ drop before you can react.

I'd say I did...

WADAAFUUUKKKKK???? I did play Hermes... saw Hosho having 2 torps... I had one...???? I assumed they just buffed Hosho?????? So, Langly too! Not Hermes though!

WADAAFUUUKKKKK???? I did play Hermes... saw Hosho having 2 torps... I had one...????

Yes they do. And good luck getting 10K hits from those, on something like a Conqkek. OK they try HE then... Conqkek can heal 3x (or 4, or 5) the whole ship. Makes sense they'd get 10k damage per salvo... well... IF EVER.

....indeed, and they will not even see it coming (12.9 concealment).

Also, you missed glorious Russian Bias... ehh... introduction of Smolensk. But you'll find out really soon.

The problem is they broke it themselves. Also, it is not "fixed". It is more like, you crash your bike through the door, and then you fix it by inserting bricks.

Yeah better play Russian Bias (OK I go to Gulag now). Nah yesterday I took 40K off a Soyuz and after that almoste deleted a Massa B. AP Conqkek...

Aww.... except there's only 1 that has 2 torpedoes. I checked - Hermes didn't get one, neither did the US. Still did better than both Hoshos in my Hermes though. Maybe Hosho needs 3 torps?

Yeah, and in that BB you never get 10K unless RNGesus decides to take a huge crap on some poor potato.

Most CV-players quit at T6, because they bleed credits. I have seen them... tried how the Hermes would go after buff. Found 5 IJN CVs... and then me. 3 per side. I think that gets annoying fast. Yes some just hate them.

Well that's the thing. If normally you have 2%, and it rises to 2.5% that means you see a quarter more CVs. Which can be quite annoying (three CVs per side.... aaarggghH!! I cannot even find enough fodder!)
