Now you are getting desperate....

WG should make it they cap when at periscope level, but the cap goes 4x slower. Risk of detection is also smaller. If they dumb it down too much indeed it's no fun. Homing torpedoes is also crazy, better the have torps like the brits. Shoot them in singles, but have more "at one time". "One torp at a time" will be much harder to balance.

Well, sometimes they let it burn until you go away. Depends on the player. I had some, I was loitering around for them to use DCP, and then they chatted "go away sky cancer". LOL. The loitering part goes fine with Ark Royal...

I got it too. It is my 2nd most played ship (after HOOD, of course).

Yes, works well in operations, because B0ts use DCP right when they get the first fire. I always try out new ships in co-op a few times, no problems there either. Fly in, make fire - they DCP, you go away for a bit, then BOOM two fires. But in randoms (unbelievable, I know) players are smarter.... Maybe it's just me having bad luck though, only played 15 games so far. EDIT: note WOWS_STATS says 12, but it says you only did 6... LOL.

Well, then I must go get one, else that thread will be a sticky forever.

They wanted the first potato (me) to reach T10 CV... done...

Ha yes, should be. BTW the rockets also cause fires. But here's the thing: - I can turn around and hit them again, no problem, and I do... - but I never get any more fires. I think it is because if the "20 sec duration" after using DCP? Well I'll either be back in those 20 secs, or dead...

I'd be interested but not for >35E, that's too much IMO. Did get the Ark Royal, it's really good. And funny. BTW after this weekend... Midway coming, finally grinded it.

Thinking of getting one... depending how that works out with coupons and stuff. I have seen it at work and it's meme-worthy.

TB are good for DDs as well, the torps have a very narrow spread. And they sure work when teh DD slows down to smoke up... one game I got three RF cause many fires... main problem, when you cause 2 fires they DCP right away. And you sure will not get back quickly to profit from it. RF even better against cruisers. But the carpet bombers aren't bad at all. I'm wondering now to get Kaga or Shokaku.

Hahahahaahaaaaa yesterday....

Yes indeed. It does well enough in T9 too... ( I know...should not fail-division... but hey we haven't got T7 CV) Meanwhile, the things where Ark Royal is different from Furious are becoming more clear. It is slow as F..., and can be spotted from the moon. CE definately recommended. Also, rockets vs DD are more effective - in Furious I get 2K, in AR usually more than 3.5K damage in one "shot". Bombs are however kinda meh. The aiming circle is even wider than a Currywurst. It is much shorter though. Means that with a DD you do not have to line up - doesn't matter what direction you come from. But Furious will hit a DD harder if you do. Also, planes are definately less agile than they are in Hermes. Most important: Due to the large squads you CAN hit targets that Furious would never reach. Like T9 cruisers...

WG stated if you take tier 6 constantly, at least 25% you should be top-tier. What I mean is, by getting a few T8 you can't say if it is good or not. I got T5/6/7/8, but unlucky in other things. We'll see what gives in 50 games. My "motto"is sort of like: 'can I get 100k with it and how hard is that'. With Furious and Ranger, can do, and we'll see about Ark Royal.

No that's just RNGesus hating you. I had mostly T6/7, but then again most games were full off AA-cruisers and DDs. I even had a T5/T6 game, most T5 were DD, and an Omaha - but no fat juicy T5 German BBs. I think well yaaarrrrrr but what happens, I slap one DD, rest of them gets deleted, I end up with Omaha, and Normandy/Dunkerque/Oktobr Revodakka. Pfffrtttt when you think MM finally loves you... and then the teammates you get. Had a T7/T8 though where I had a few BBs to feast on, turned out better than the T5/T6. I think we need to play it a bit more to really appreciate it.

I found her a bit weaker than Furious, but depending what red ships you get. Hmm... the one more torp usually misses unless BB (but might be me being cross-eyed), but the rockets are a bit stronger IMO = I get 3-3.5K on a hit and Furious usually 2.2k. I think that's because there re more of them. Besides that, more fires as a result. The bombs are rather more pleasing, shorter droptime and narrower "spread". It's mostly the visual aspect indeed. BUT... easier to aim, because slow. Also, easier to avoid the FLAK. Yes, that too. BC you hit the shipo good but didn't get fire? yes that's true. I think still is, a T6CV with pleasing visuals, no T8MM and usable in Operations.

I do not have it, do no want it, but I STILL THINK YOU ARE RIGHT. There. Graf Zeppelin without STUKA is like having Nonkel Dolf without moustache and hair and amputated right arm: I know we can still expect the same performance, however there is no difference with any other bullyboys on the block. So yes, bring on those STUKAS and also the YERICHO HORNS. Because JUST!!

Exeter is good... if you can live with the paper/cardboard sides. Wichita is more "userfriendly", or so I am told.

Well, I'm not disappointed... there are a few "visuals"that could be good though. --> formation flying could be "less tight". IMO they are too precise. Should be more "erratic". --> also, I could use STILL MORE Swordfish planes. How bout more planes, more dispersion under fire? --> more "damage" before they go down. I mean, parts/bits wings falling off, smoke etcetera.

That video kinda showed it, although he did hit a lot of T6 ships - but that is what you are supposed to do. I'll go check out see if I can do it too.

Santa?

About same, but very different. Mind Furious is pretty strong, I did 90k with her in ranked T6. Ark Royal is not too strong IMO, but kinda meme-worthy. YAaaaaa-maaaa-tooo style. I think I really will like this one.

Not a bad idea really.

I'm tempted to get Dreadnought, but I already have some RN premiums - and I really want Warspite. So, hmm. Wish they'd have some lower-tier offers that are interesting. Like Seidlitz or something, hell might get Mikasa if it wasn't THAT bad. Might give it a miss, sorry WG.

Yes Ranger can... https://forum.worldofwarships.eu/topic/9009-what-were-your-greatest-gaming-achievements-today/?do=findComment&comment=3158930 He is really good IMO. If you can carry a team no matter what potatoes you get, you're GOOD. IMO though the ARk Royal is not a Noobtube. Several DDs escaped my wrath. Ranger is better, and Furious certainly is better. Yes he does... this was a few weeks ago. Met him on the EU server. Twice. It's a bit too much dumbing down IMO, also some of the "balance"is crap.
