Yes, RIP.

I played in part 2 of the CV rework test just to 'see' the proposed changes for myself & so no one can say 'You never tried the rework so how can you have a legitimate criticsm'. Well, I just tried it. 1) CVs that cannot be controlled while the plane squadron is in the air? Farce. 2) just one plane squadron in the air at one time when you could have several before? Farce 3) altered torpedo & dive bomb attacks when the old system worked just fine? Farce 4) New visual in the air plane squadron mode? Boring. This isn't WoWP. Farce 5) Test of just two T8 CVs? T1 ships in the test. Why? Farce 6) OP AA auto -firing at 7+ miles? Farce 7) Multi-tasking of moving a CV & up to 7 plane squadrons (all at the same time) gone. Is this too hard for the imbeciles? Farce 8) 4+ years of CV play (as at present) to be thrown out? Farce I will never play CVs if this proposed CV rework is instituted. I will demand a refund of all my premium CV purchases. I will demand a refund of all the money I spent to acquire regular Tech Tree Cvs. The proposed CV rework is, imo, a TOTAL GARBAGE FARCE.

I've just tried the CV rework in part 2 of the test. I gave it a try so I could have some legitimate critique of this proposed CV rework. This whole proposed CV rework is a FARCE. 1) What happened to continual CV ship movement capability just like the other ship classes? What a total farce the new CV movement proposal is. 2) What happened to the 3 - 7 Plane Squadrons in the air at the same time? Is multi-tasking too difficult for the imbeciles? 3) What happened to fighter Vs fighter combat? 4) Why was it necessary to alter the way torpedoes and Dive bombs were done? The original way works just fine. 5) Rockets? OK, for late war CVs maybe but early pre -WW2 CVs? I don't recall a lot of rocket equipped planes then. 6) The new in the air Plane Squadron mode? Gets real boring real fast & this isn't WoWP. 7) OP AA & AA that auto-fires over 7 miles? OK, neuter CVs more as this appears to be the object of this farce. I will never play CVs if this Farce of a CV rework is instituted I will be demanding a full Refund for my premium CVs from WG if this GARBAGE FARCE of a CV rework is instituted. I will be demanding a refund of all the money I spent on grinding regular tech tree Cvs. This CV rework is, imo, a TOTAL GARBAGE FARCE.

I signed up for this new CV rework test but I read the comments on the first test period & decided I'm not participating. However, to be fair, I have played a CV in this second CV rework test. #1 - why are Tier 1 ships even in this test? #2 - a CV that once moving is uncontrollable? It just keeps going all the while your plane squadron is flying around? a CV that somehow is steering itself? What a stinking idiot farce. #3 - Plane squadrons that are being auto shot up literally miles away from the target ship? - Fighter Squadrons that cannot engage enemy plane squadrons? - Torpedo Squadrons that barely have any torpedoes once the Attack goes in due to overwhelming AA defence? - Dive Bomber Squadrons that are shot up before the attack & have Targeting Reticule issues. #4 - One plane squadron in the air at one time? Is this for imbeciles who can't multi-task? My conclusion is this CV rework is a total FARCE. There is nothing good about this rework. T8 CVs with just 1 plane squadron in the air? FARCE. A CV that cannot be continuously controlled while a plane squadron is in the air. FARCE Long range (7-8 mile) AA? FARCE The new plane Squadron Visual? So What? This isn't WoWP. No Fighter vs Fighter mode. FARCE Rockets? So What. Are T4 CVs getting them? FARCE Altered mechanics for Torpedo and Dive Bomber Attacks. So What. Why was this even necessary? FARCE I will never play CVs if any of this GARBAGE CV rework is instituted. I will demand a FULL REFUND for my premium purchased CVs and for all the money I spent grinding any regular tech Tree CV in my port. Two words describe this proposed CV rework …. TOTAL FARCE

I don't think anything about it as I refuse to buy any Lollipop for the Suckers.

I have the Yugumo (in NA) & I find it rather 'too squishy'. Torps could reload faster too, imo. As it is my top tier DD I find it challenging to play. Nothing wrong with a challenge - you learn faster that way, lol.

Well, 'bad game design' is one topic. 'Destroyers' is another topic. Combining them as OP does in his title implies that, somehow, destroyers are a bad game design. Here we go with another anti - DD whine

I have absolutely no confidence that reworking CVs will make anything better. The game will be worse. btw, I bought the GZ & have left it in it's original configuration. I never once complained and/or whined about it (unlike so many). If & when the CV rework is instituted, I will simply stop playing them & demand a refund (as if anyone will get that, lol)

I was in a win battle the other day that ended at 4:13 mark - incredibly short (I did well btw). Why is it this may happen (rarely) yet many roflstomps are allowed to continue to the bitter end? Something very strange is going on. A cynic would say some sort of 'cheat' is operating. I try not to be cynical, but when the same 'garbage' keeps occurring what is one to think?

LOL

100% agree with you nambr9. Kudos for you to bring this topic up in the first place. some players here are making very good & valid points. others, unfortunately, are in denial that WG does no wrong

I quite agree w this, Nothing. A roflstomp win is only satisfying cause you got the win &, maybe, you did well personally. However, it is still a joke. & it is obvious that roflstomp losses happen way more often than the wins. This is why the WG MM is a sick joke. Yet WG will always say the MM is 'fixed' & working as intended. It is 'fixed' allright.

So, EI2aZeR, to me your table is indicative of something seriously wrong with something, most likely a really biased MM along with biased shot targeting (both hits & misses). Three separate ways that WG may disguise what is really going on in many of the roflstomps.

that is plain bad play for those T8s. When I get uptiered to T9/10s with an 8, I play it as a challenge. Nothing finer than volley hitting a T10 just once & then watch it turn tail & run, lol.

It takes WG MM no effort at all to place so many 'special' players onto both teams where 'special' means stupid to the one side while 'special' means 'good' to the other side.

of course they would

You got it, Aotearus, the patent contains the way in which all WG products are operated & we know all of the WG products have 'issues' - the same 'issues' regardless of platform.

'tin foil & Rigged torp belt'? Where did this come from? What fantasy or drug (maybe) are you indulging in?

Waagh, waagh, waagh! me wants it now. It too hard, mommy. Waagh, waagh, waagh!

A lot of good points have been made by many on the OP topic. There are, obviously, many reasons why roflstomps happen. Probably, the most important is when some players on the one team play precipitously (foolishly, solo, wrong tactics) and thereby weaken their team far too soon in the battle. This is not an easy topic to come to complete agreement on. One point is certain(?), however, roflstomps happen too often (imho). Only WG has the statistical information to be able to alter their frequency downward so there are more close battles (if this does not, itself, create more problems by doing so).

Take a look in your mirror

Apparently, 'that's the way' he/she/it did go (slamming anyone whose comments here he/she/it took exception to).

Perceptive criticism is to be found throughout this topic. It is unfortunate that some poster(s) here appear(s) to be incapable of recognizing this.

#1) I came to EU from NA to play on a F2P account. I still play on my NA account. Anyone can have one account on all of the servers. I've never re-rolled an account on any server. #2) I could care less about battle & post #s. If I want to post, I will. #3) "trolling & flaming"? ROFL. What are you doing,' Nothing...'? #4) I agreed with the majority of your post, however, I will not let some 'last sentence dreck from you' pass by without comment. Boo Hoo Hoo, 'Nothing....' doesn't like being called out on his/her/it's 'nonsense' (to be polite) but sure wants to throw it at someone else.

Go find it for yourself. I did. It's in a years ago (now) video interview & Customer Support will admit it. Just ask CS in a ticket why you get so many wins in a row then all of sudden so many losses - you will get the answer.
