I wish it too, and it would be so simple. Forget guided torps. Just have that "PING" work on the auto-damage control of CVs. Two pings = shutdown for 1 minute (or two... whatever). Then give CVs ASW bombs, instead of the rockets. You'd "solve" two problems with one thing. Subs would hunt CV, CV more likely to hunt subs.

The problem there (as you may or may not know) is as follows: - Yes AA shoots some planes, however it is ineffective due to: 1. DPS (continuous) damage affecting the LAST plane... not the ones that are attacking... 2. FLAK, being "steered"by the CV-player (it calculates the "straight projected route, like a b0t); 3. FLAK, when a plane gets shot down, it magically gets replaced by "one from above" (unless they are all dead, but well, last plane... see 1) As such, yes you can shoot down planes but it will not stop or even negate an attack. At least not the first drop. And when the attrition (amount of plane kills) is not high enough, the CV can do such a "first attack" all the time. He might lose 2 torpedo-planes, but he carries on with the rockets, then the bombers, and after that those 2 planes have re-spawned. He will then still have a full squad. Plane loss doesn't mean a thing, as long as it is "bearable".

It is even a "surprise" how much crap they're gonne be. Too bad, if they had done them right they'd be an asset. I fear I'm gonna play CV after they come back just to make their life miserable. I'll gladly trade the rockets for ASW.

Thanks, but your stats are better than mine - your general average is around 3% better than mine, actually. I just seem to like some ships and hate others (and they hate me back as well). My average is crud. Yes, it is up to the player to make the best use of it. I dunno about the others though. I always calculate ships vs beer. Ise definitely gives me similar enjoyment as her price in beer. I doubt if Tone (twice as much cash) would do that. Maybe someday I'll get myself a Kearsarge, so far I'm not really impressed by what I have seen though... You'll notice for sure if you meet me in Ise. I'll use the guns, as should, because it is a BB. Many cruisers have been DEF-blapped... accuracy is good. Bow in it can tank BBs same as any other. The problem for them is I can also dump them from the side (and I will). It has 8 torps... which can also be a "nice anti-DD wall of skill''... as many of them found out in T6 CB. Since I do play CV as well, I know how to do it... this thing is rather OP. If you can't shoot it, torp it. You also provide spotting for your teammates. Quite apparently you'll need two as only the one can't farm hard enough...

Maybe you'd care to elaborate... I dunno what you mean, and I am thorougly potato. Solo WR: Div-2 is somehow kinda crud. I think mostly because usually T8 uptiered. Div-3 though...

I'd say most CV-players here, main or no main, have already stated they are broken AF. And they have offered several ways of fixing them. But WeeGee choses not to do it. Therefore, you will need CV players - else the other team (that will have them) will just ROFLSTOMP yours. This is the WeeGee reality. Git Gud, or get mashed.

You must be on weekend mode, that Amagi lived.

Hell no, it is much better in "pants down carry mode", you take a clan division but only 4 or 5, and no randoms... Then try to get 5 stars... and then try to do it in "idiot ships". Warspite is quite nice, I usually take Queen Elizabeth because better range. Best here though - get Ise.If you're a bit savvy with CVs then that thing just kicks @$$. It will wreck stuff like any BB and you can also get the ones that would otherwise have escaped. Narai is one where a good DD player can do a LOT. That Harbour defense, too. And the one where you actually have to wreck a port. But on all ops, get some divvies that know what they are doing.

I saw @Mr_Bad_Aimer and his 2 buddies, unfortunately I didn't bring any friends - and I was not in the besty ship. Also, I was not in the best team, look at these results. Sometimes you can be proud to make top 3... well... ehh... Fortunately it was the last game in the grind, so now on to the Baltimore...

I think that name sound more like the new Ron Jeremy.

My son is a DD main, we often (fail) div a Dd + a CV. Result is that even a very good CV player will have big trouble taking him down. IF he manages. He doesn't really care anymore about CVs being in the game. Me in Cv and him in DD = this: ...actually that is a bit distorted as I play with most others as well, usually when we're both playing, it will be Ark + Sims, or Kaga + any T9DD. We still cannot beat Masterrrr @El2aZeR tough. But it is more like this (still quite filthy WR):

Yes, this indeed. I do NOT know which ones are the best to kill, so that explains the main difference. One day though, one day.... then I'll actually GitGud. But there is a side-remark to it as well. LOTS of potater-CVs do not know how to drop bombs/torps/rockets either. In RTS that was automated upto T6 (?) so it only got to be a problem after that. But I've seen them do it in the current version. Torps going everywhere except the target.... Also, you now need to ACTIVELY dodge FLAK. Which seems to be impossible for some...

You have around the same number that you had before, just they get "spawned" not at once. If they did that, there would be lots of (potato) CVs taking them all in an all-out-attack. The taters would then lose lots of planes, making them less and less effective. The good ones would do it too, sometimes, except they'd not lose them, but keep them going all game. Good luck on that one... BTW even when the "silly rules" (AA eats last plane etc) were not yet invented, a mildly savvy player like me would never ever get deplaned. Not even with ark Royal in a T9 (faildiv) game. Guess how I'd do if I could get 30 planes at once. I'd just eat the fattest BB with the least AA first, then work my way down the ladder. Yeah some ships would not be on the menu for a while, but later they would, when HE has "downgraded" the AA guns a bit.

I'm just a bit savvy - I'll outfarm the other CV 90% of the time, but doesn't mean we'll win. Dudes that are as good as @El2aZeR they'll just farm so hard the team has not even a chance to throw the game. Also, what I will do is spot for my divvies and save their butts if needed, to help them grind. Yes I can do really good games but I need to try hard and have a bit of luck. The best CV players do those game while watching pR0n on the second monitor and having tea.

Agree. But they did it anyway. Which is why AA doesn't work. IMO it was just fine before they did this crappy thing. I think it should be more up to the player. As in, how many he sends in a squad and all that. It would equal HE-AP choice, well sort of. Also I'd ditch the rocket planes and c take ASW (for subs). Sending up that many planes with FDR is just naff. All they do is function as a damage sponge. And with those VERY large and slow planes you can't avoid FLAK that much. But you cannot even pre-ditch a few because of the 30 secs "loitering". The automated spotting is also mega-crap. You should get a special squad to do that, and get points for it. Currently it is just annoying. You do not get any points, everybody hates you, and your kill gets KS'd all the time. All the automated crap should just go out the window.

This is right. You have to compare potaters to potaters, else you get "spreadsheet says you're having fun". Here's taters - sorted by damage (mine, all randoms) Here's masterrr (El2azer, all randoms): Note, highest damage = CV.

They have that. But then this happened: - Weegee decided that a lost plane in the attacking group "gets replaced from above".... - ...and AA damage is applied the LAST plane in a squad. I'd remove that. So if you eat FLAK, then you can expect there to be a "hole" in your drop. Also, who thought of "AA shooting the last plane" should be strapped to it. They had to explain it about 3 times to me before I actually believed it. And then I was laughing so hard I ff-d up all battles that week.

Hey WeeGee, I guess you're not approved by Microsoft, or what gives? I always get that sign that says "find new app in microsoft store" when I launch the game...

I think it is Hard Pr0n, I'm getting a bit deaf & senseless at this age. I just do not notice any subtlety anymore. Note, where's the code for the Shooting Men?

I think I'll leave my T9 and T10 in port, except when I go farming supershites in my FDR or something. I promise I'll take them first. How about, every CV-player attack those at first sight? Jeezzz might even get some karma (did last time, killed two Satsumas, got +3).

Saw @Yuu5Eleven in game, he had a Russian CV - he did not get me though, the "supershits" did me a number. Died because of a DD that is apparently an invisible floating torpedo factory.

You are doing it well. However those "superships" are doing me in. I think I'll leave the T9s in port for a while.

I regind that line all the time (RP)... and I am an average potater, but they work fine. Your position doesn't really matter... if you can find a position behind an island (not NEXT TO... but say 3-4km behind a ridge) it's good. You just need to remember that indeed, they are slow - so once a flank is chosen, you are committed. I usually do not go far from middle. Pick the flank that the most enemies go, but keep your distance. I'd say no less that 15 clicks. Not more that 20. And use that AP, especially if you have a CV, at the start here will be many hapless broadside victims. Even though it is tempting, do not shoot the first one you see, make sure they are properly oblivious and going in a straight line. It pays off to wait a few seconds for that straightlining broadside cruiser or BB instead of taking a potshot at one that is zigzagging. When they start to come too close, turn behind an island and sail away at an angle, meanwhile blasting them "over the shoulder". Wait until your chasers have shot, turn a bit, give them all the guns, turn back, and keep on running... ehh... crawling.
