It took me a while to implement this and I'm still far from perfect, but I'll send you an "@El2azer" & THANKS when I break the 100k barrier in a T6 CV, in a T8 match. Yesterday did 50k... T6 CV in T8 match... I still make too many mistakes so the average isn't that good yet, as WR varies too much depending on ROFLSTOMP teams... After that two baaaaaddd matches both T6 and my team got wiped in a few minutes Any way to prevent them from throwing that hard?

I even disagree with you, for once. CVs CAN be instakilled. If you have NOT put your CV away somewhere safe (and mind, the safest place is not safe whole match, and sometimes there is no safe place at all), then chances are that your CV WILL BE INSTAKILLED. Either by a BB that sees somebody else spotting your CV or by a DD. Every ship in the game has the power to instakill a CV, really. Much more than the CV has any power to instakill any other ship. CV cannot even waste a DD in one strike.

Oh it's better than Monarch for sure. With moan-argh, well, this:

Man, I'll probably be unicum at submarines then...

Eh, yes could be better. Some I just do not seem to agree with, some are just bad - even though I like them. More > 50% than < 50%, so... might be one of your lesser analysis moments. Also... some cruisers seem to attract bad MM, usually they tend to go BLAP quickly.

WEll... usually I tend to find a lot of truth in what you say... but the fact is, I'm doing better in them than in cruisers. Plus I find it kinda fun, cause you have to try REALLY hard in them to do any good at all. And that's the fun thing, for me. Maybe I am one of the few that likes them though... and I think that after the 'final' update they'll make the T8/6/4 CVs a bit better, too. But we'll see. The only thing I'm miffed about is the stupid Albacore planes. SWORDFISH should be the torpedo planes, dammit.

My coal-fed boiler fired brain has realised that... after a while... https://forum.worldofwarships.eu/topic/114403-for-hms-exeter-marathon-how-exactly-are-we-supposed-to-shoot-down-30-planes-when-there-is-nothing-we-can-do-to-guarantee-a-cv-in-the-match-except-diving-up/?do=findComment&amp;comment=2920043

I know, I have even re-specced the captain (had IFHE on him since KGV and Monarch, LOL). The AP gets better too, handy against T10 cruisers. Damn buggers. Note though the Lion has the most insane dispersion ever. Generally I do not even aim in the thing. Looking at the front guns, I had one shell go left, one go right, one go up-and-left, one go right-down... Only two from the six went somewhere in the general direction of the target. Pfffrtttt. I'd say it needs 500 inch shells, maybe it will slightly scratch the side of the barn (when shooting from the inside).

Let's bring it on.... EXCEPT... you should probably expect even more of 'those players' on such an operation. I don't mind though, you could still division up and do it with a team of well trained idiots... ehhh... comrades. Wyoming for me, I guess. Or maybe Texas or New York. Something slow and snail like.

Basically you get some free xp points per hit. The main thing is the caliber. You can now roflstomp some lower tier BBs and some cruisers can be whacked with HE, regardless of angling....

IFHE is for pen, decreases fire... though they get 1/4 instead of 1/6. I still use IFHE on some though... That's right. Yes DDs are a priority target. But you'll not see me chasing them, there are ships better suited for it than a CV. I'm happy if I can defend myself from those sneaky little buggers.

Might be why we do not have it yet.... (dúh...).

Not saying we'd be any good in those though. We kill plenty Belfasts. Both alone and in div. I met a great Belfst player when he had a 3x Belfast div, which I shot up in my Queen E... only he survived. I don;t think belfast is that OP. Almost killed one yesterday with my Arizona, took 90% of his HP and made his life difficult. he only got a few HE hits on me... Both saving up coal a bit for Flint, so that's an option. In fact it is the only ship I'd consider from current offers. So far though might be Exeter/Leander divisions. See how that goes. Furutaka/Emerald went badly though.

I've slaughtered one in the Ranger, they're not that bad tasting, just have somebody warm them up with HE... Or you spend a load of rockets doing it yourself. I'd not buy T8 because of the T10 MM, but so far I like T6 fine - the T4 is sort of hilariously weak though.

I did a similar thing, used Leander though. Made a smokescreen right under the fighters... Also what we did was a Hood/Sims division, and hunt CV (capped, then went through cap, then shot them all in the back). Because I don;t have Sims after that LOL we went 2x Leander div, conserving smoke and hydro. Man that is OP AF, suppose you have a DM at tier 6 and can even split it in two. I'm almost ashamed. Almost, because then we remembered we both had Fiji...

Ah yers, I forgot - even if you insta-delete the ship with torps you still get 'flooding'. Even if it was a VERY large hole... meanwhile I grinded the XP-thing with Arizona, was ROFL. People always think RN BB shoots HE only and US BB shoots AP only. man that Arizona is a real firestarter if you use HE... LOL. I now have plenty enough for the T6 CV, but gonna get it in the weekend so I can (ab)use the 3 days premium. I guess a few more DDs will die to CV plane spam... let's see how this one does.

Ehhh.. well, ROFL. Could happen though, WG make up the most nonsense stuff. I did the XP part, now must do captured/assist/defended. I think no problem. After that, 10 fires, 10 floodings... the fires will be no problem, flooding maybe I take co-op for once. But then again, how much flooding will I get, usually it is insta-delete, sort of.

Must be a new one then? Last one was TV-T8 cruisers and destroyers. I'll check. EDIT: this one?

I'm doing that one in Furataka, lots better.

Ph i will kill them if I see fit (or given the occasion) but I do NOT regard it as the primary task for the CV. IMO those that do, are wrong. Your own cruisers ad DDs are more fit for it, and this is also why rockets got nerfed. Colonising DDs will be hunted, of course. To the death, preferably starting early on (when they leave cap at OUR side). Yes, but I need to g hit them GOOD at least 6 times, means 2 squadrons, and I'll n NOT have a full squadron ready when the first one returns. So either I take a half-squadron, or I take something else (bombs or torps) after the rockets, or I need to wait ~2 minutes for planes to return or 'grow a new pair'. Now with the half-squadron I will not kill him, and if I wait he'd be very stupid to just sit there... I usually kill them with torps. Even at T4 it can be done. Need 2-3 hits. Same thing here. And usually nobody helps me when a DD breaks through and torps my CV butt. So, as such I consider it doing my team a favour if I kill a DD, but not really my job to do it.

Ifind hunting DDs rather meh. But then again, I only have a T6 CV max. Rockets just seem to tickle them, 2k damage at most, bombs from RN CV donl;t do much damage either unless you sacrificed many goats to RNGesus. What I get them with (if they are a threat to me, or I need to help a teammate, or defend a cap...) is torps. They eat them pretty good, two or three torps and bye bye DD. Besides that, even missed torps still send them the direction they didn't want to go for a while. But I tend to leave them to our own DDs and the cruisers. DDs are hard to hit and meagre pickings. So unless needed, leave them. Beter drop some BBs or cruisers and prevent them from pushing, or force them broadside.

Well, nevertheless let's give them some ideas, before they start researching their own...

Aye I think the last one is correct. I do not play many DDs though (I suck at them). Haven't had many times to notice a turret getting destroyed - as usually the whole DD is blapped as well. In a cruiser (I last longer...) I had a turret incapacitated many times - say 10% of that the turret got destroyed.

I suppose after the 'finishing' of the rework they will re-introduce T7 CV. And we can always reverse history... even if we have to resort to ramming.

Good, as the others seem to deny it and even tell me I don't know how it works (I do... after 2000 games...LOL). Yes. It is very rare though to have a turret destroyed (unless you sail Izumo). It is not rare to lose planes o a CV... even before you have fired anything useful with it. In fact, it is the actually firing anything with it that leads to the (sort of random) destruction. Like having a BB with RNG-gun-rats that decide to plug the hole so the turret blows up when fired. I think that's fair as well, else CVs become too strong at the end of the battle. However, losing AA ca happen in one blow no matter start or end of game (cruiser getting hit by AA) and now we can see it too. Pres "O"to shift AA left/right, if it has been hit it shows there is nothing to shift left/right.... Also, AA can be repaired 50% or so if the ship has DCP (most ships do have it at higher tiers , even some DDs).
