Duuude if I were any good I'd do that in Furious.

The maps, there should be LOTS more. If you want a newby-friendly game, then make sure at least not every 'oldtimer' knows the maps. Also, why is there still only cap circles. R There could be harbours, airfields (usable for CVs? or containing bot-fighters?), forts (once captured they shoot the reds, too)... and you'd have to protect them to get more points. So, if the enemy isn't chased out quickly then they'll wreck that base - might not even want to take it anymore.... And bring on those convoys. one side controls it and has to protect, the other side has to kill all protectors... or shoot the convoy. But then there will be nothing to take and it will be a meagre win. Man there's so much stuff WG could do. Including improving the MM. If some stupid 3rd party mod can show up red/orange/green, how hard can it be. I quite enjoy the CVs... but must be said, yes there could be a lot of things more 'active and fair play'.

Cruisers are a thing... but remember aerial torps don't do that much damage, certainly not when compared to DD torps... so better keep the rudder shift. In Conqueror (which has decent AA enough) I just have a sort of 19pt captain "tank build". It negates most of the effects from torps and fires. INCLUDING aircraft damage. You'll receive some plane bombs/torps anyway, no matter what you do - and fire reduction ALWAYS works - where AA does not. Specced the secondaries though - and with that, the AA. But wouldn't have done it JUST for the AA.

Yes they will. I agree WG needs to make certain changes though. I hope they do, it will make the game more enjoyable for all.

Might have crossed the mind of some (either hate or love) but sooner or later we'll get them. So... what would you like (or hate) in a premium aircraft carrier? I'm thinking of this one: .... as it doesn't get any more famous than the Ark Royal. Also, I think it should be T6 - else it will never face the Bismarck, which we can't allow to happen. Also, it should have Swordfish TORPEDO BOMBERS instead of them being HE-divebombers. Maybe it should have more than the usual TWO torps at T6 though, let's say three or four planes per attack (to compensate for the slow planes). It will be quite good against island campers... especially if you can drop those torps from far away AND from short range. Note that she had a big hangar and a lot of Swordfish could be housed (as they'll be dropping like flies no doubt). Away with the Skuas and Albacores though - even though she never had anything else in real life, get her some lend/lease unique planes. Else T6 might be a bit too hard... I suggest the P40 Kittyhawk which was a carrier-fighter, and a good bombing plane. Another option might be Sea Hurricanes (they carried rockets) - maybe even Seafires is also an option, though they were ~ 1943 onward. But hey, it's an arcade game, and when having a premium legendary CV might as well have legendary planes too. As a 'special consumable' (after all, it is a premium) a reconnaissance plane might be an option - Ark Royal had Supermarine Walrus. What do you guys think?

I expect them to shoot me even harder, and then roast me in clan chat about how potato I am. That is, unless I get them first.

I'd be happy, finally my T6 CV gets to harvest some tasty T8 ships before the likes of YOU murder them all.

EDIT: double posts, forum playing up.

Actually the Cv could have followed them easily, it is usually faster than a BB. The only times they kill me in a CV is when: - I am (almost) the last one alive; - stupid team have let more than 2 Dds thorough to our spawn; - ...sometimes they even let whole CL through and BBs so this is not rare... Usually happens on the maps that have two bases/caps only.

I'll take this one instead and cause more airplane spam.

Personally I'm not interested in T8/9/X at all unless it is something usable for Clan Battle. I'd rather have T5/6/7 if it is anything good fun, preferably T6/7 as usable in Operations. Might go as far as T8 if they make some interesting Ops for that. Well at least, no paper ship. But they could have done much better IMO.

1933 crisis (Wall Street Crash) hit hard + the thinking that Nonkel Dolf would be as nice as Uncle Kaiser Wilhelm... Kaiser Willy was family, after Germany kicked him out, niece Emma gave him a Dutch little palace. Willy never attacked his niece. Only when it was too late did they realise, Nonkel Dolf was NOT family... and he WOULD attack... Holland started modernising the army in 1939, they got some modern planes (about 20... some of them not even finished). But they never got ready for war, believing that it would pass them by another time, like WW1. Navy? What navy? Most of it was to scare off pirates and stop native uprisings in the West Indies Colonies, really.

I'm still trying, someday I will get one...

I hated it with a vengeance. The AP, after Queen E, is just....horrible. Olus that you cannot 'bowtank'anything. T7-8-9 is wheer lots of players hide behind islands, and then they turn the nose to the reds (bowtanking). This makes most shells ricochet... UNLESS of course those shells overmatch - that is, are fat enough to go right through. ALL T7 BBs can overmatch KGV... and KGV cannot overmatch ANY... So... they gave you PYROMANIAC HE. it will be what you use most. Ehh... I even put IFHE on it, pissing off many people. If you calculate, it SHOULD NOT HELP. But... I found dthat it did, might be conformation bias though (=thinking that it works, while it really is coincidence). Try it when we get free captain respecs, you'll find out soon enough.

Yeah I call BS as well. He's above average that's for sure. Sure those guys may be unicums, but hey.

Yeah true... even I do well in them... But here's the thing: I'm not doing THAT well, he must do something better than me, and I am usually better than the other CVs in the game. Hence - he must do something pretty damn right. Though I'd think (like you) 4 points for secondaries are better spent elsewehere. Until one of those damn DDs hunts me down, that is. Which happens at least 5x per week. Then, I'm not so sure.

Ah good, that adds some realism. In Holland most trucks are driven by Polish drivers, too.

Ah well, being uptiered in a T6 CV to T8 is kinda crud. But being uptiered in a T6Cv and having the T8 CV farm everything in front is even more crud. So you guess I must be happy when he gets deleted because he ventured out too close? Naaaahhh!!! Because... then having your team potato so quickly to a sudden end is the most crud of all! Zero points.... he left all the hard targets for me!

maybe you get a Neutered Rabbit Medal, for making lotsa holes but failing to produce anything.

How about beer then, we had our mate come over and we have him addicted to WoWS now. Since he is only T2 now we div up and use our T2 premium Tachibanana/Smith to go sealclubbing, show him how it's done. If he is paying the beer, would that be wrong? Look dude we'll show you how to potato

That's even funnier than a T2 Tachibana/Smith division...

Sealclubbing.... although, yes we were. We also found a friend a new game. As he had to start at T1, we helped him by divving up... ehh... well we did get some krakens and all that. So accused, and guilty as charged. T2 Smith/Tachibana + something division. LOL.

I'd say he is quite unorthodox, but not unsavvy at all when it comes to CVs. His methods may not be yours and likely yours are better, but still. No potato.

I make it a habit of pointing to my DD and pressing F3. I'll make sure I am signalling to them they get a c screeny. It then says 'protect that target', and s usually I;ll also make a 'low pass' (do a torpedo run without dropping) while waving wings. Sometimes they'll still not go under the screen, so that one gets ignored then. But I kept many DDs alive into late-game. I also help them hunt the other DDs. I'll drop torps in red smoke... do a rocket-run and all that. I still have plenty time to farm damage. Yes I might do better (if I do not get thrown too much T8 in my T6 CV...). But this way we win more. Get a DD+CV division. Red DD salty tears taste sooooo nice...
