BLUB__BLUB

Yes it is. Even in 1st game with a stupid captain and NOTHING grinded I could do 40k... However RNGesus can screw you over pretty good, so can your team... I had matches in Ark Royal (all the flags, and DE...) that I didn't get a single fire. And had matches end in ~4 minutes...wuuuuttt wuuttt wuuuttt!!! Had matches like that as well... blobkrieg... throw a bunch of torps in. Make sure to ditch all but the last run, cause you'll lose all of the planes. Eventually it WILL spread them out. Also, fly around and put spotters up ~10 km behind the blob...

Almost 76K.... and I'm not even any much good.

OOOAAARRGGHHHH ARK ROYAL SUCKING PLEASZZZZZZZE BUFF>>>> @El2aZeR master there is much talent in this young padawanCV, we will learn him... 100K+ coming up quite surely. (and we almost won except I had to drag them by the neck and that doesn't work if you're dead much).

BC I lacked a few cpt points... and I forgot.... I put ovechkin on the CV, got free re-spec, and used "half training" for the 200k credits. And then I forgot to assign the lat 4 points... and forgot to spade him... duh! Still it wouldnt have mattered too much, as my team melted faster than... whatever. Yes 10k per minute, but if the game lasts 6 minutes...

Ehh nope, I usually go get a new 10-pointer for the "old" ship. Anyway fixed now...

Depends on what ships are in the red team, and what they do. Here's a few examples: - You can't attack BLOBs really without losing the whole squad; - some ships have insane AA and need to be pre-fried before you can attack them (and will they do it...); - some ships when you think you can kill them off, you have the planes lined up and are ready to drop torps... and then they get blapped... - some CVs have AP bombs, RNG can really screw them over - some have HE bombs, then the TEAM can really screw them over, .... because just when you have fire, the red ship uses DCP, end before you can do it again it already has 3 fires (LOL). - ...and then your team just crumbles at one cap, two DDs decide to push through and blap the CV. I think though you should also mind that CVs spot a lot and some are pretty helpful dropping spotter/fighter planes. But it's not like they are still the damage monsters they were v before - because now every potato can run a CV (even me...).

Finally getting to grips with Implacable, can I do 100K with it, yes can do. Looooong match, helping clanmate to grind / knock off "snowflakes". It was kinda close and in the end I had a tough job killing the KGV, and then help killing the red CV, as the only ones left were me and a DD vs the Shokaku and almost full HP KGV. Got the KGV but the red CV survived (barely).

Yes is, I think can do more easily. But it was only my 3rd game... stock, with a 10pt untrained captain and all that. Could have done more but my team ROFLSTOMPED the reds... need faster faster faster planes! (and just did 120K in Implodable so finally getting the hang of that). I think in Midway the problem will be if you are in a ROFLSTOMP, how to stop your team from farming faster than you can keep up... That thing is a monster really. So far I am still potato, but discovering it. 120K max so far... but that really happened somewhat "easy". After spading it I'll probably see 200K regularly.

Meh at least it wasn't me then. If I remember correctly I did it to an Asashio. Seriously I'll always try to support my own DDs, but I'd rather try to nail something else than a DD. They require a lot of trouble, better spent on feasting off a fat BB. Nobody counts the battles where they get blapped having zero score... What a shame, just now when I like to farm BBs...

I saw @Rosythe in my Midway, poor Rosythe got pretty much uptiered to the max. Nevertheless did better than me in my Midway, I still haven't got it spaded though. Grats on the win!

How about same meaning but different spelling... Old fart, large hands and fat fingers....

Hmmm... well since I have free respec I'll give it a try.

Nope, and IMO the Swordfish of the Hermes are more agile. Also, DDs (and certainly cruisers) in higher tiers are not really more agile, they are a lot quicker though. Makes them have a larger turning circle, still it is more difficult to get a "cross drop" on them.

Ah, that at least makes it a bit useful. However, I do not expect those last 3 to hit anything... I expect them to die WHILE run 2 happens... It would be useful if you "spent" the previous ones (as in: they're already on their way back after drop). But IMO such is not the case... Usually I get 3 in, then get 2-3 more in, rest dies. Yes I know Last Gasp would probably mean the second set gets full boost. But i doubt, since they are already close, if it would matter. So - say you have 3+3+3. Let's call them A, B, C. You have used the first 3 (A), they are returning. The 3(B) is now up, two planes of 3(C) still alive. You launch B attack, C is now the last and gets "last gap". But while attacking both planes from C get shot, now you will not have any use of Last Gap. I can see it being of use in more tanky (or much faster) planes though.

That helped me to understand what you meant too. I'm quite sure the Swordfish on Hermes can rotate/turn quicker than those on Ark Royal.

I'm not sure I understand correctly. Yes the Barracuda RF are kinda unwieldy as well. But I mean the Swordfish, they really are more agile on Hermes. I'd ditch Last Gasp. How is the game gonna know what is your last attack? Maybe the ones that get shot down first, as AA is working now, as they shoot the last plane first...? Here's mine. Not sure to get SS or CE next (need 2 more points), probably won't bother with DE. The LAST point goes to Last Gasp. Good result. I have yet to find that luck/RNG. But I'm quite sure I will.

There's more clans you know... I have recently moved, because of voice-coms. Some people always whining, they want to tell others what to do, I don;t mind but mostly they want you to do something so they can "perform better" LOL. They nerfed the bombs, but that was sort of necessary. The main thing is the turning radius of the biplanes, they should turn better!

Yes, they usually blob up a bit,s o that's where I start. I often swarm around them with torp planes at the start. Usually it makes them separate. If not I'll throw some torps in from distance. No score usually, but will work out better later on.

Well it's still possible to do quite well... if I can do it, certainly you guys can do it too. However it is NOT easily possible to win the game "alone", unless you are VERY DAMN GOOD (at least better than me).

Yes, I found similar to @Padds01, they should turn better @MrConway Makes sense, I'll try to use the scenery a bit more... Well ships will be happy now, one Ark Royal player that doesn't like to spot... The concealment is indeed crap, but I suppose they assume you run a 19pt captain as it is a premium. That is indeed THE joke. But let us grant our victims some sense of joy, eh. They can. But that is also how I noticed they are not that manoeuvrable. I'd enjoy the Ark Royal more if they were. Also it would mitigate the meh results on DDs from DBs a bit. And it would actually require "skill"in a duel between DD and CV. So @MrConway bring our turning circles back PLZ!

I was i div on discord with some clanmates, no need to type and you can curse a lot more quickly... This is very true. You have no "control". But you can dish out, and even scare away DDs with torps. You must indeed chase DDs into oblivion, if they are any good they are hard to kill. But I can hit them. Usually though, cruisers and other DDs are made for that, I don't think CVs are, and this one certainly isn't. The thing is, CHASE THEM. Don't fire until you are sure. And you can use torps for that, too. They cannot get rid of you and when they smoke up (or ram an island), torp them. Meanwhile you chase them away from caps and teammates, while keeping them spotted. Very true. Good tip, I do it all the time.

I agree on that. The planes ARE much more static/unmaneuverable than Hermes planes. And indeed the time you spot leads to ships getting blapped before you can hit them. Funny though, they never shoot anything if I do it in other CVs, even if I spam F3 and leave fighters. Fires are a different matter. My guess is most BBs/CLS have now reverted from "anti-AA build" to "tank build". I mean swapped AFT and BFT for BoS and FP. I did that too on most ships. I find it is more consistent than Furious, I can do 35-50K no matter what game I get. With Furious it depends... can get much higher but also can get much worse.

Same way we all do... But WR isn't everything. I had 32% when I was plugging through King George V. Even though I still had 50+ on most other ships. WR doen't mean a thing these days especially not if you are still grinding, and came to "your most favorite ship"(not...). There ya go. That said though I see people with 60+% WR and they are idiots too. Or maybe they are just desperate. HOW I SEE IT Anyway if there are 4 BBs stuck behind and island in a blob, how come, there was ONE that thought it was a good idea to support his cruiser. Now if that cruiser potatoed to death and 3 BBs followed, who ya gonna call? The DD... or the CV... OK the DD is dead then, since CV (and 1 cruiser dead +4 BBs stuck). Then what you gonna do. Smartest thing IMO is leave the blob. Then you get picked off by the CV... and then YOU are the idiot.

Indeed it's not too hard. I just got midway, with a potato captain and unspaded I did >40k. Was a crappy game too for me, when I just attacked, the ship got a cita and BOOM, no score for me. That happened three times in that game... mannnn it sure teaches you to get salty. And I think I'm not really the best player ever....
