I am hoping, I haven't lost hope....

It's just....God frustrating to play in the current state, which sucks because she's my favorite CV, she's so unique.

Her very best feature are those awesome secondaries which always catch the CV hunting DD out, killed several DD's that way But boy oh boy hunting DD's in her is something else,I have always long over shot any DD's I happen to come across.

 

Being a Black Friday ship,will she be cheaper than the regular one?

Graf zep is a challenge alright,if there is any CV that needs a buff it is the GZ DB's.

The problem isn't that you cannot hit anything (except the AP bombs).

The problem with that thing is the flimsy planes.

Ark Royal needs to be as good as the Furious,it isn't certain ships can out run the planes which is just plain ridiculous.

It is, depending on circumstances it can be even much better. 

No ships outruns the planes... though sometimes feels like it. 

The challenge is to keep up the average, even if you get crappy games. 

So far I'm not doing too well on that, really. I can do 100K+, and on a mediocre game I get 50-80k.

It is the crappy ones that keep me down, slow planes and not enough time. But I'll learn...

Have no idea what they have done to the Midway,sold it because of the torp spread,icould not see one thing it did better than the Lexington or the Enterprise

Much more speed. Though it will probably not be better than Enterprise. 

And yes I also think the torps suck - but you do get a lot more of them.

and I am mad as hell that the Enterprise is denied to us, wanted her for my alt, got theKaga but she is useless against tier 9's and 10's.

Enterprise is just too OP. Since they cannot nerf premiums... they took it away.

Kaga should be plenty good though, once you learn to avoid FLAK.

Amen to that.

[Mercy_Main]

What CVs are getting buffed? Could anyone link me to the details/changelog whatever?

100 k is good, I'm lucky if I get 30, I don't see the big E as OP, but then I suck,simple as, lol

Self-knowledge is the start of true wisdom, young padawan. 

I suck as well but I have been paying attention to what master @El2aZeR is teaching.

I still cannot carry the whole bag of potatoes in Ark Royal but not too far off. 

 

In division with some clanmates I get "perfect winrate" even on weekends... but they're actually pretty decent. 

On my own I'm sort of depending on what the team does - if it is a ROFLSTOMP (win or lose) = low damage.

I'll do that 50k in 10 minutes though no problem. Problem is: will you get 10 minutes before it's all over? 

 

I do not have OP E, too bad. So that's with The Mighty Ark. 

Lexi is less dependent, but I need to practise a bit more in that one.

In version 0.8.11 the following balance changes will be made:

 

 

Japanese aircraft carrier Hosho, Tier IV:

• Changed torpedo aiming parameters.

 

Previously, Hosho torpedo bombers maintained narrow aiming cones whilst performing manoeuvres, making accurate aiming much easier. Now the possible angle of torpedo drop is increased during manoeuvres. This change will reduce the efficiency of the Hosho as well as restore the Japanese flavor of the Hosho's torpedo bombers.

 

 

American aircraft carrier Midway, Tier X:

• Torpedoes changed:
  • Maximum damage increased from 4,233 to 5,067;
  • Flooding chance increased from 33% to 42%.

 

After recent changes, Midway was slightly weaker compared to other ships. The increased damage will increase the efficiency of torpedo bombers , and Midway itself will become more competitive.

 

 

American cruiser Salem, Tier X:

• Action time of the "Surveillance Radar" consumable increased from 25 to 40 s.

 

This change will increase the efficiency of Salem in combat and help her to better deal with destroyers and control key positions on the map.

 

 

German battleships:

• Ellipse of main caliber gun shells dispersion is adjusted to the settings of the American and British battleships.

 

This change will increase the accuracy of all German battleships and make the playing experience more comfortable.

 

 

Change to upgrades:

• "Hydroacoustic Search Modification 1" can now be mounted on any ship starting from Tier VI, equipped with "Hydroacoustic Search" consumable.

 

Now this modification can be mounted on German battleships.

 

 

British cruiser Hawkins, Tier V:

• Detectability range by air increased from 6.36 to 6.44 km

 

In some cases, Hawkins' detectability range by air was less than its AA defense action zone, so it was increased.

 

 

Please note that the information in the Development Blog is preliminary and subject to change.

they aren't afraid of buffing cvs anymore.

high tier cvs i mean

@Inappropriate_noob see this is what I mean... 

On that map, you can either sit behind the island or flee to corner.

What I sometimes do is go into the channel... seems to be the safest way LOL.

 

Everybody and his dog knows you are behind that island. Well OK... not always hide in the channel...

And then you have a team that just melts... and the rest goes on a lemming train. 

THIS happens:

Lol that pathetic score is myususal one,in fact just had a game and yea 17k damage, although i did sail towards a cap and not notice the red Cruiser, but NVM.

 

Just unlocked the Langley on my alt, I'm guessing she is now as good as the Hosho which has been nerfed to death now, I would like the Furious but cannot go through with the grind,far to painful, lol.

Just get the Atk Royal, it will teach you to "Git Gud". 

After that slowcoach the Furious feels like an invincible rocketship. 

 

BTW, this is more "the usual":

Or this (dammit no Kraken...)

Also, no KARMA

Might be possible to do ranked with rental Enterprise... 

[rnat]

Had a brief stint on PTS earlier and.. well, it's as suspected.
Maybe Massa or 'Bama can cross the 20km to get to the carrier. Everyone else has.. an interesting time.

Richelieu works also (was my only loss yesterday, couldn't sink the Richelieu fast enough before he closed the distance to my Enterprise). Massa and Bama are tough nuts to crack but doable (I suspect the Riche was also doable and I'm just too bad in a CV).

 

Anything else? Goes down. Sometime swinging, but it goes down. No matter if it's a fast French DD or a AA specced Cleveland ...

 

Result was 13 battles with the Enterprise and only one loss.

One word - Gascogne 

 

32kt and a speed boost on top of that

28s reload on 15" ers

Short cooldown on the heal

Can float the fighter plane

Richy have speed and AP bomb immunity, but lacks torpedo belt of SoDak class. Also secondaries need IFHE to do anything

Noone cares about torps if you only get off 3 runs at max with heal doing maybe 20k dmg. While Richie in that time already covered 10km before your next wave arrives
