There's a flip side to that comment. I wonder if anyone can spell it out for me, because frankly I can't be bothered.

Are you honestly surprised that players are 'salty'? The matchmaking sets you up in matches you can't possibly win, carriers are a jokes and I'm proud to say, I'm permanently chat banned for telling the imbeciles they're "F!$*ing R£*%"ds", because that's what they are. I've honestly come to the opinion that there's very little point in communicating with the majority of players, because any logic is wasted on them and they'll carry on doing the same moronic things regardless. Incidently, in the six years I've been playing I've never seen anyone with a win rate below 30%, whilst in the last fortnight I've seen two! Personally speaking, I thought this would be impossible to achieve, but, once again, I've been proven wrong. I guess my Karma will remain at zero for as long as Wargaming insist on having this pointless mechanic in the game or alter it in such a way that it detrimentally effects me.

World of Warhips .. oh sorry, thought you said S***!

CV's ae F *^'ing S^%* and so are Submarines! Do I get a prize now or do I have to wait until page 500 before Putin himself declares me a filthy Capitalist Pig and sends me a little red book laced with Novichok ! Damn, it looks like I'll have to wait until page 500 to belittle carriers and whatever nonsense Wargaming have come up with between then and now.

Whilst Wargaming lack a great many things, I doubt very much if 'funds' could honestly be placed on that list and the reason for not updating the carriers could just be down to hardware limitations. However, I do find it odd that World of Warships Blitz has a pegi 12+ rating and this contradiction could be another reason why Wargaming are 'voluntarily' asking for the same certification to be applied to World of Warships main. I think with their recent push to further monetise the game, even Wargaming themselves have shied away from maintaing the 7+ pegi rating for fear of attracting bad press, not that this would help much in Wargaming's case.

What you've written mirrors my thinking entirely and I needn't say anymore. It's a real shame.

Got to be the Kawachi, all day long. Nothing can top the way it never misses, armour, manoeuvrability and it's sheer good looks .. The queen of tier 3 ;)

I'll tell you something, I'm more or less permanently chat banned and I'm genuinely passed caring. I have absolutely no patience for some some the absolute dregs that play this game and if I'm given the opportunity to tell them why they're complete 'F***ing R*****s' then I'll do so and if I get chat banned in the process then so be it. As far as I'm concerned, there's very little point in actually talking outside of a division anyway and any advice given to the majority of players will at best it will be ignored or at worst have the opposite effect of what you intended. What's more, the number of 'holier than thou sycophants' on the forum are enough to drive anyone crazy anyway and ought to get a job at the BBC. My advice to the OP, I really wouldn't worry about it. Just talk to your clan mates, the people in your divisions and as for anyone else just use the function keys.

You can have a bloke with a carrier pigeon if you like.

I was initially hoping carriers would be 'nerfed' under the distraction offered by the introduction of submarines. However, when I saw the Submarines and those ridiculous homing torpedoes, I realised they were just an extension of the thinking that lay behind the CV Rework. Wargaming introduces yet another class that ignores all of the game mechanics that surface ships have to play by. All of this just to appeal to a younger demographic who'll probably disappear as quickly as they arrived, because they're not necessarily interested in playing anything else in the game, as the play style is so far removed to what attracted them in the first place. Whilst doing this Wargaming are also throwing the entire game out of balance, so much so, that it's detering long term players from investing their time and money in it. It certainly deters me and that's for sure. It's a continual trend that prioritises short term profit, leading to diminishing returns and the eventual demise of the game.

Yes, I'll admit it, I got the wrong end of the stick and you were also correct, I hadn't had a coffee either ;) But, I had fun writing it, even though it had no relevance what so ever :) xx

Thanks for that. It's the last day for the Dutch Cruisers missions .. so I wont be able to complete them.

Good idea

With the greatest respect, they usually just bounce us back to the forums.

I've had this a lot lately, but as you say, never as long as this. This will require compensatory measures.

Same here. 3 hours not being able to log in.

I see, so we're all a delusional mob chasing a non existent conspiracy theory. Damn, I knew I shouldn't have booked that holiday to New Mexico. Oh well, I can always cancel and go to Loch Ness instead. In the meantime can you please go to the trouble of explaining why you are right and we're so wrong. I'd be be ever so pleased to read it, as I think there are genuine problems with the CV rework and I've yet to read anything that alters that belief. Maybe, you could be the first? The truth is out there .......

Yes, I couldn't agree more and for the money Wargaming charge, they should post you a hardback copy, personally signed by Putin himself.

Yes, that's so. Most in game tutorials are very basic for the exact reason you've stated; so new players are unlikely to watch 12 dozen You Tube videos are they? I know I certainly didn't! Thinking back, I recall seeing a couple, getting bored and googling stuff instead. However that doesn't change the fact, that I think Wargaming are remiss in not including one, but if you're one of these people who want's to disagree and think that Wargaming are perfect and can do no wrong, then be my guest. But the fact remains, World of Tanks has a playable tutorial covering things such as aimimg, capping and what constitutes a win in the various game modes and World of Warships doesn't. Maybe this goes a long way to explaining why most World of Warships players seem clueless about those big coloured circles and those big numbers at the top of the screen! Hey, what do I know? I just play the game. As for Elite Dangerous, they stole the idea of power management from Lucas Art's X-Wing and I think Elite was the first game I bought fo rmy C64 back in 1984, after my VIC20 died. That's a very long time ago, so do me a favour and don't tell granny how to suck eggs, she's a little tetchy at the moment.

Try an in game tutoria and not a you tube video, perhaps even offering some incentive for learning the basics.. They managed it in World of Tanks.

Where in the tutorial does it state this as a valid tactic? Whoops a Daisy, there isn't one. I suppose that's too bad and all of those new players will have to figure out what the 'P' key does all on their own. Maybe they should play Carriers instead, it's far easier, you dont have to worry about turning things on and off because the game does it for you and those pesky fires just put themselves out. Damn, I wonder why carriers are so popular? Hey ho, I dont know and Wargaming obviously know what they're doing!

This quick 'turn around' of aircraft is another reason why Carriers are so dominant and the overall experience for the rest of the team is just one of frustation. This is especially the case at tier 4, where you can multiply that frustation by a factor of two in most games.

On a historical basis, I would agree with much of what you've written. However, this is a game, whereby 85% of players on a team have work around both concealment and terrain to work effectively, whilst the remaining 15% can do what the heck they like. Carriers are far simpler to play and break the mutual support the other three lines provide one another and this supportive relationship is fundamental regardless of tier. What's more tier 4 carriers are a travesty and are just exploitative. They operate in an arena where most new players are supposed to be learning the basics of the game, have at best marginal AA and at worst, literally none. What lessons do you think they are learning as they progress into higher tiers? I'm writing this 'through gritted teeth', but I did prefer the old RTS system, despite it's flaws. I believe it appealled to a player who at the very least had a chance of thinking tactically. Thinking about it, the fact that not many people played them could reflect the mindset of the average player and I certainly believe skill levels have fallen since the introduction of the CV rework. The old RTS meta was certainly more comfortable to play against than what we have now. The AA mechanics were more effective and 'carriers' were just that and not floating factories. Can we at least agree, that at the heart of this mess, there is a game which has been thrown way out of kilter by a developer, who neither seems to listen or understand their own product.
