BLUB__BLUB

True. I do not play CVs that much these days, but yesterday I felt like being a troll... yes shame on me... I have an excuse though, we had some other T8 divs in the clan and went click-in-countdown... So as that usually gives opposite sides I intended a "surprise"... What happened was I took Kaga, and we got a T7/8/9 battle with that Epicenter thing. The reds had a Graf Zeppelin. Each team had 1 DD (and a sub, but who cares about those). My mate had taken a cruiser and he went right, so I spotted that side first. Most of the team went that way... Well so did the enemy team, thus I moved my CVB to the left. Also I went closer to the center. Then I started to wreck the 3 ships on that left flank, and also FF-ed their DD who kept a bit to the middle. Must say he was pretty good he ate only one bomb and one torp. However enemy CV didn't manage to do anything about out DD. I killed the Bismarck and near-killed a North-Carolina. The cruiser on the left got blapped because I spotted him. Not only that, my torps gave him the choice between eating them all or broadsiding my team.. yeah, BLAP happened. Then I moved my CV into the outer circle, capping it... then the next circle, behind a fat island. Meanwhile I was still unspotted (my team calling me nuts for moving CV in the cap but hey). By coming in closer I could wreck the reds even harder. Our team just flattened them, we lost 3 ships and killed them all. In the end, I also killed off the Graf Zeppelin.. who had not moved from his spawn. Spotted + 8 torps gave me the kill. So, 2 kills, 150K damage and 3rd place in the team, red CV ended almost bottom. And I'm not even that good. I'm guessing but maybe I could have deleted him at the start, too. You might say "balanced" as that is 2 kills and 150K, but I will not usually do 150K + 2 kills in whatever other class. And it is also a fat lie if they say " well at least damage is balanced", because I could have just farmed BBs, or something. Then that game might have delivered 200, 300k (depending on flooding/fire...)? What if I get more "GitGud"? I'm just a bit savvy but the skill gap is already present. Even if I do not (have to) bother with the other CV.

Seems to me that it is then just not suitable for the average player. Not as in "average abilities" (because that would be me...) but average playstyle. We even use it in Clan Battles, nobody else seems to do so - and to good effect. What you say is true though, you must go close to get the best out of it. Also you can go FAR out, to use the "plunging fire" and smack the deck. Camping at some distance sure as hell isn't gonna work indeed. But I never do that so maybe that is why it works well for me.

I just turn that off, and then it becomes a normal one. However I pity the players that see it... Same v but I see that more than Silliwangi and Hiei. I see them as seldom as a Hiei, they are rare. Plenty of Fujins and KamikazeRs around though. When I regrind another line I see them all the time. Fat 21pt captain.... you clubbers. A week ago I saw 3 in a division. And yeah they "cleaned up" pretty good.

That is probably because even if it is kinda crud, you manage to compensate that. I doubt if I could be something-like-useful in the most OP DD ever, so...

True. However, I am a total potater with most. I find the ship exceptionally good. In fact what you are stating there is that spreadsheet is always right. With the same statement you could say CVs are balanced...

But you are actually good... Look what a pleb like me has to do to win nowadays...

Eh? 66+WR is crud now?

Guess.... (I kinda like the fat whales). Max kills was 8 in it. Yeah all skill no luck. I also have a Silliwangi. And it is no good for me at all, LMAO. Got it from a container... You wonder why it is rare? Well... it is kinda crud, and I am even moire crud with it. This one, indeed all skill no luck... Oh and Hiei.... a pink Kongo, it came with a [edited] captain.

They already did consider/take some of them. Hey @MrConway where is our X-mas Convoy shoot? Santa-transports anyone? (that convoy mode was brilliant BTW, BUT now we have subs --> MUHAAAAAA I WANT IT BACKKKK!!!)

Actually his game averages were (in those days before he hid them) above average. His methods of finding some fun, though probably not the best way to play/spec, at least serve a purpose. Instead of "GitGud" he chose "GitFun". I can appreciate that.

At that time, my RTS CV skills were more or less cursing at the PC when something I clicked failed to compute... Sometimes the whole thing gave a system hang-up for half a minute. Right-clicking was kinda hard...

..but I got my snowflake

Kickedykick, we still need more members! Because we want to have DOUBLE TEAM Clan Battles, every possible day!

HURRDURRR come on guys we are recruiting!! We have BEER (OK it is digital, but still).

Soon...

Probably not, but it doesn't stop me trying... (and yes that last one was a double kill)

Nah. it is no fun if there is no real suffering... Something like, the blow-up doll situation. Yes they'll leak but they do not really scream. This indeed

There you go, you have explained the whole rework...

Colombo.... I never thought a combo of kinda low caliber guns, shite dispersion, and a rather mehbote could work. But I tried it on the submarine-test-server... and found it damn good... so I grinded the line. Which was, I must admit, a true and utter CHORE. But worth it.

OK another one for the "ignored and never seen again" list.... I'll also add him in the game and will remember to prioritise him when he's on the reds...

Some people with thousands of games told you exactly how it is. You, with less than a thousand, keep telling it is not. You pull the snowflake move. I think you should go into politics.

Try moving it into the channel on Two Brothers. Works fine, unless there is a friendly ship around...

OK then, just read what this guy says. There is no need for me to spell it out again.

You can, sort of. You can at least decide WHEN to exit... drop early and go in full speed.

Solo WR here on the fat piggies... quite skewed if you look at 2-div and 3-div. Vermont still has to "grow" a bit... Must say I quite like the Lolorado and the Minnesota (Kansas, not so much)... and I am always regrinding the (faster line) US BBs. Note that I even have the abysmal creature that is Oklahoma
