Hahaha if you die in 10 minutes you'll not make that 100K ever eh. Also not if your team ROFLSTOMPS (or gets) in 10 minutes. Better GitGud with DDs if you want mega-action-packed gameplay.

It would be sitting in a rowing boat for hours, trying to catch tofu-burgers.

You have average 28.5K... you whiney... well OK you only have 3 games in it. Practise practise.... it is a very weird CV indeed though. But how tha FcK did you get all three T10 CVs while you only have ~500 games more than me... I must be doing something wrong!!

I'd even call it reverse-sealclubbing of a sort. Bismarck doesn't have the best AA... Id rather attack a Bismarck (t8) than a Hood (T7), or a Colorado (T7). I even think some T6 ships (cruisers) have better AA than Bismarck.

I do... use torps on DDs. Have done so since Hermes. You can also sort-of-cross-drop them if you try hard. But that is not the most effective. The most effective is LOL-attack. Which is when you dive at them, then they go WTF, and then... but you do not release. You'll discover some of them put smoke, so they slow down... THEN you drop torps. SOME of them turn... chase them away from caps... sometimes they also run into an island... I think 100k is pretty much do-able. But I always have too much LOL... or try to help teammates (who die 1 minute after anyway).

Could have been in Randoms where a PTW potato just wanted to get his DD somehow. I've seen it happen... in randoms. Lots of times. Facts, in this case, are creating their own legend.

Yes indeed I think they did a good job, if they did all CVs this way I'd be happy.

Position your CV as close as you dare (remember auto-steering will bite your butt though). It pays off to loiter around, if you can get a better hit. Don't take potshots at DDs, for example. Hit them when broadside with RF, get 3.5k - hit them badly and get <1K. Try to get ALL THREE torps into a BB, not just two...

Look at your destruction ratio... WR doesn't have anything to do with it - you cannot save 11 potatoes. If they wanna roll down, they will. You still wouldn't be able to make sure your team wins.

Don't forget, FLAK is easier avoidable as well... And those first 10 secs AA-sector burst... well... planes will not be "all in" because they are slow as hell. Then take the (very short) aiming distance for torps... and whack them over an island (of which there will be no lack, campers galore). I'll post the results when I do more than 100K in a T9 match...

USUALLY a DD that gets detected sneaking up on a CV is a dead DD. And he'll have spend useless time...

In a CV you cannot even DCP it...

True. That being true, chances are that one Izumo is "involved elsewehere" while in smaller maps BBs are closer, too. It is a matter of finding a good island... much easier really on larger maps. But that's my opinion (and yes have Salem, too). Very true. Just I can do a helluva lot more damage than a Nürnberg. And they won't be able to do much about it. Higher tier = more campers. Yes that's true as well. He has to fly around a lot and avoid the worst of it. While I need to worry about flying as little as possible, and not caring about plane loss.

Well, there is truth in that. Indeed if it is a large map, you can't even hope to cover it all. But the thing is, do you have to? Usually finding one, two, three targets and milking them is plenty. After all as masterrr @El2aZeR teaches us, we CVs are damage whores, so let us be what we must be. I usually do try to influence game, help the team, and what do I get? Teams potato to death anyway, you are not uinfluential enough as a CV to carry (at least: if you are not the MAsterrrr). So, does it matter if maps are larger? The larger maps are as much a disadvantage to surface ships s to a CV. I think maybe even more so. Twice the map, but not twice the speed. So, would a map where I can snuggle up near an island, having the perfect base to terrorize ~4-5 ships, be a disadvantage? Ark Royal is the fastest T6 CV... the base is movable... and my radius of deathbringing is rather larger than surface ships. Also, note that T8MM is common and they also have the larger maps. Imean: as in this: Why would a large map be a disadvantage... I'll just move my "base" when I am done "harvesting" that area...

Div up, make sure the CV you get is a good one not a random chalkchewer. And then you can spec AA (still a free respec going... at least yesterday was...) and harvest planes. Anyone know when free respec ends?

I have them bought and researched, should I mount them or doesn't matter? BTW coming late to party hahahahaa!

I have a 19pt captain for Hood... in divison I'd suggest CV, Hood and Sims. Maybe Belfast if you have it, or Fiji. As a BB Hood has been powercrept, but most of them have. STilll it is a battlecruiser-type-BB, use it as such. It's not a Russian BB.

It's still damn good, if you know how to use it. But not invulnerable. FWIW never use the "sector" on RF... save them for DB/TB. And yes the Def AA works. I save it for when I really get targeted. After that the CV chooses a different target. Or I use it when I am close to CV... (hunting them). It is though. Very accurate and hard-hitting, still my best T7 BB. Hahaha I wonder what you play then instead.

Thanks, but really it is the CV making it possible. Plus T9 has plenty potatoes as well. Maybe you went through them too fast. First games, I watch the replay for those "ooh you cr..."- moments. I do that after a while again, to see where I can still improve. And then again. For AR I found, important is to BAIT the AA-sector, and then get ALL 3 TORPS in on the BBs. You'll better be loitering a bit and awaiting your chance than to dive in too quick.

Well since I do fail-division with Sims... I can say even T9 you still do 40-50K no problem. Do you think when I get used to it they'll cry when they get spanked by a T6 CV for 100K? I had a few T9, same 40-50K I got at T6-7. I'm still getting used to it. 75K so far, we'll see. But it is more consistent than Furious, just more peculiar too.

Well, if any consolance same happens when my and my divvy take out CV, Hood and Sims. Depends on which way the planes come who gets the kills. No way you get 30+ in Hood, but if they get pre-roasted by Sims, no problem.

But he couldn't have, unless THAT SAME PLANE was over him for 1 minute or something). "22 total DPS with BFT skilled. A Hosho TB with SE skilled has 1480 HP while AA reduces damage taken from DPS by 10%", this is true. so... 1480/20... 74 seconds? It means the planes took damage elswhere, he just happened to be the "lucky SOB" that put in the final shot.

Well then you are in the sh!t. But i have spent lots of times searching for a DD that went AWOL. And then in the endgame he bit me in the @$$ and killed my CV. Well played, he got +1. I also get some that just avoid, avoid, avoid and they refuse to die. +1 for those, too. Indeed don't take the fastest route to caps. Maybe some CV-players are stupid but not all of them...

Damn, another one where I cannot take Ark Royal or Hood... I guess Lexi will have to go to work again...
