Yes I can see if you want those, well you'd profit from having it. I do not want them at all, I can understand what l you like though. I bought Hood after thinking about what I'd like, also because I think WG 'deserves some development funding'. Before that, I got Arizona form a crate, which was really lucky for me. Picked up a few "freebies" meanwhile. Not that I do not have a wishlist - I do, but it is different from yours. And as stuff goes, I might not be playing the game for a lot longer anymore, so no 1 year premium...

I know I'd best get Enterprise, if I want the best (or most OP) ship. But I won't play it very much, so not worth it for me. T5/6/7 is what I like best, as such I'll get a T6 CV - yes plenty credits there... I have Hood, Texas (cheap) and Arizona (last one from supercontainer, yay!). I also have a bunch of coal-stuff "sealclubber freemiums" and grinded Exeter (oh lol... I'm liking that one... 70% WR... hahahaha). Nah and not at all interested in T9, wil get Salem for CB though and maybe some more. T7 Flint looks much better to me But T9? Why would I, as I am not interested in higher-tier gameplay and it is unusable for anything else. I'll grab Salem, or Conqueror if I want high-tier fun. Usually I'll have a premium account - from some container or event. As it is, I'm not buying one, only playing weekends - maybe if WG steps up the works, but not now. What would I need premium for? To grind faster?

I don't have any T8 because I do not like the high-tier gameplay (you usually get TX-MM in a T8). Campy and lotsa ROFLSTOMPS. I also doubt if I'll go further than T8 with the CVs, and am in no hurry to get the T8 RN CV at all. Furious is LOL!! Also, I don't need credits (I'm sitting on 50 million silver...), I just do not want any ships that EAT credits. Most I do, is team up with my favourite div-mate (...he's my son and likes DDs). And then we derp around in T5-7, which is most fun. That is why I'll get it.

Since I don't have it, I won't notice... ---> so no problem. I have RN CV upto T6, and US CV upto T8, no credit problem and lots of troll-fun. I do not expect it to grind credits or something, it is just "The Hilarious" to me (plus the historical thing, I also have Hood). Trust me, I'll get good. I have plenty fun trolling around with Hermes (yes faildiv with T5DD) in T7 harharhar !!

Nah. But better than Furious, probably. That attacking of the Frenchy went wayyyy better than expected though. I expected NOTHING to hit. I expect I actually have to "git gud". I dop not expect it to be Enterprise or whatever. I expect it to be fun and not lose credits, that's about it. And of course I'll troll Bismarcks with it. I think you still don't accept how it works, the only thing that determines if they get to drop on target is the size of the sponge. After that, well we'll see how the damage is - they raised pen on bombs to 19mm, so there is some "working on that".

LAlalalalaaallaaaallaaa gonna grind myself some coal to get Salem... lalalalalaaa

I like shiteboats. What, that not a class? Hood then. Probably also no good. OK. Medium-tier slow fat BBs, or RN cruisers. Anything requiring "speziul" playstyle. And if I'm bored I go kill DDs in Cvs. Because I like salty potato tears (can't kill good players, that is).

MIKASA Because that's all she has....

Good fun. We won 4 and lost 4. I took Edinburgh and sure has plenty dakka. Also it can tank a surprising amount. Weird thing: NO CITADELS even if they were broadsiding like hell. And I sure know how to hit them... MORE SHEEP!

Radar, you mean X-ray vision through islands and all that. Well one good thing, it doesn't detect torps...

Heavy enough, and he almost killed him from full health. I think he did better than I could have done in T8 Lexington. And he didn't use any tricks... didn't know how. Ark Royal is plenty strong enough.

LONG LIVE THE HOLIDAY POTATO TEAM!

You think so... just had a T8 game where there was a tester with Ark Royal... he ended 2nd in team... I think he didn't have a credit problem there, and he launched plenty torps and bombs on the Richelieu... which has THE BEST AA...

I do not have Kaga... Will show you though when I have Ark Royal, the sponge takes the damage. With the faster plane spawn it will probably be sort of like Kaga indeed. Watch your plane-health though, you'll see them go dead, but nothing will happen to the attacking squad. And yes, I went --> and they had to explain to me as well that's how it works. FLAK is the only thing that gets them... but... easily avoided as they turn on a dime.

Yeah and granted they'll manage to stuff it up. Do you think they'll give Russian subs a ramming bow?

I like hearing the screams of potatoes...

LOL in return, they will not change it EVEN IF the whole thing if its DESPERATELY needed/broken AF and there's OUTRAGE from the community. But that's beside the point. I think it would be a good change - making CVs less powerful in lower tiers and more powerful when uptiered. Granted they'll just stick it somewhere, indeed.

As sais, the AA shoots the LAST PLANE FIRST. It doesn't matter if they are fast or not. Granted, they may spend more time in the DPS AA bubble. But there are three - instead of two. So "final"after AA killed off the sponges, 3x990 instead of 2x1800, I expect though I'll get 3 torps in instead of two. Ask @El2aZeR. The "other flights" are now just damage-sponges. You'll get that first load in unless you are pretty dumb. ...but they manoeuvre better than the faster planes. FLAK avoiding will not be a problem. And yes in T4 I use TB and DB to hunt DDs, much better than the RF. Will do too with Ark Royal. RF, well, they're kinda meh - good for cruisers and especially BBs, where they set fire.

This doesn;t matter, since the planes doing the attack do not take damage first. The AA shoots the last plane... which isn't boosting or whatever, it is just "waiting above". Only when that "sponge"is all dead (all of them) then your attacking planes get AA damage. They DO NOT have poor manoeuvrability... they turn on a dime. I can keep a DD spotted in a 2.5km zone with rockets, do not need to call s fighters to keep him in sight. It will be much much easier to avoid flak, you can make 90 degrees turn with them in < 1 second.

Yes, without premium in T10 you probably have to sink them all to NOT lose credits. But that is the same in other ships. Yes I know it can change balance. IT IS WHAT THEY NEED TO DO. And they can call it "falling RNG crates" for whatever I care. And it would be easy as whatever to do it. Only a few numbers.

No man. It is an example of showing how WG can adapt ammo to have certain properties. Same as they changed all secondaries to HE. It's not that much work.

I got thrown out of a game as well. Guess it is a server hamster that kicked the bucket.

Oh WG can call them surprise RNG crates for all I care. But they can take away IFHE, so they can also make them overpen if they want. I think they should, would make it much better for the smaller ships or when CVs get downtiered. But it's the same thing again like with fire chance.

Not what it seems like to me. As is, they gave Ark Royal a bigger damage sponge (9 planes instead of 6). Since the brilliant AA shoots the last plane first... doesn't matter how much the attackplanes can take, the sponge will take it first. Bismarck and Tirpitz are the ships which are easiest T8 BBs to hit - worst AA. Maybe the Vladivostok is a bit worse off. I'm not sure what you mean by "they manouver harder". Yes they are slow but they turn on a dime. Since Bismarck has bad short-range AA, might be even easier than with Furious. And I have NO PROBLEM with Furious. In T9 I'll just wait a bit until ships are somewhat pre-cooked by cruiser HE. NO CREDIT PROBLEM. Ark Royal will be a moneymaker I think. How then? The Barracudas (bombers/torps) on Furious have 1780/1820HP, and the Swordfish on Hermes have 990 (bombers). With Furious you get bombers 2x2, and torpedoes you get 3x2. The "sponge" is 2x1780 (3560) on bombers, and 4x1820 (7280) on torps. But looks like Ark Royal you get 3x3. Means you get sponge 6x990... (5940 total sponge). Not THAT much worse on torps, and you get one torp more (3 attackers instead of one). Take that one too, similar and still drops two torps. Much better sponge though on the divebombers. And much better regeneration than on Furious... I'd not consider that a really good game from Notser either. Really good = well over 100k. But also it's not bad, but didn't see him pull any stunts (which you can do). I think an average game will be 70k. But we'll see. That Tirpitz is dead anyway, same as Bismarck, will be no problem.
