E has ~244mm penetration if I remember correctly. Yama/Sushi have 257mm armor minimum (57mm deck + min 200mm citadel deck). Shokaku AP bombs have just enough penetration to break that at high altitude and ofc Haku/GZ with 350mm+ pen have no issues whatsoever. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AA Damage is exactly the same as in 0.8.4 Only Difference is that it now Focusses 1 Plane. As 1 Plane is Focussed you now lose Planes Faster. But the Claims of Panicking CV Players about them being unable to Bomb Ships or having entire Squadrons Deleted is entirely down to their overactive Fantasy. Because Total AA Damage to the Squadron has not changed in the Slightest. Meaning that the Total Time your Squadron has till its Destruction is entirely the same. Only Difference is that you dont suddenly lose 10 planes after 10 Seconds but instead lose 1 plane per second steadily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WG is known to lie when it suits them. Case and point: When the GZ was first released it was the most terrible CV tier for tier. Literally everyone believed it to be unplayable including all expert CV players such as Fara and thought they must have rushed the release just to cash in on the gamescom hype. What did WG respond with? "GZ is final and totally playable. You all are just terrible CV players and should git gud." They only went back on that after severe community backlash. It was also the thing that directly led to iChase getting his CC status removed (although he got it restored apparently? Not exactly following news on him since watching him play is physically painful). 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, A shima or a musashi should be helpless against a CV. Lets say, a desmo should be helpless against a rushing BB (there is always ramming though) lets say, a BB is helpless against a shima or gearing or YY.. What are the CVs helpless against under any condition? What needs to be happen for a CV to be able to do nothing and go back to port? Define "helpless".

Literally nothing she should be able to do. And in an endgame when a lone Musashi being stripped from it's blob faces a CV, again tough luck, the Musashi should have zero chance in that encounter, not even granted a plane kill because she's abnormal, completely ignoring the fact that CV's already have an abnormal survival rate.

So they have a lone ship, kill it ofc because thats what they should do. But you cant play 1v1s all game long and expect to win everyone of them.

Because my mentality is I use only rockets in the beginning not to lose those precious ones(Torp and dive bombers) at least not that early in the match.... Everyone, I repeat, EVERYONE is bunched up, clustered together, no lone targets...as I've said, CVs are a class that to do good in a battle depend on enemy's stupidity and ignorance. If enemy involves 1% of their brain effort to track your planes on the map you will not get a single point of damage without losing at least half of your planes. Trading 4-6 planes to get what.....5-6k dmg? Let's use math, if carrier has in total 50 planes that is......around what 48k dmg total? And no planes left.... In tier 10, I've yet not encountered a tier 10 match where at least an average, let alone weak AA ship, got separated enough so I could "crap" on him. No, I never crap on anyone in CV, I rather have to bite and bleed to get any kind of damage. And I'm not opposed to that, but it's kind of annoying seeing youtube videos of people playing CVs and saying they just "crap" on everyone.....oh please, NO YOU DON'T. That is like 1 in 15 battles where you happen to find people ignorant enough to punish them. The rest people are just too smart for -2 tier CV. I got SO PISSED OFF......usually when I get to that level of "pissed off" I get up, and punch the nearest wall with my fist so hard I leave blood stains on it. I paid for that. The worst thing is, I perform better in tech tree CV than in premium. Tried playing shokaku for first time in a month or so and did almost like 100k dmg and won.
