Got redirected to this thread via the 8.0 bulletin, so I hope it´s the right thread...

 

What is planned for the Graf Zeppelin? Just out of curiosity: Will it be re-tiered or even removed?

[CAP98100]

Why we have half day diffenrences between the article relese, and the topic creation for it? It feels almost manipulative!  @The_EURL_Guy


" After numerous stages of Closed Tests and three major Open Beta Tests, we are happy to announce that the new aircraft carrier gameplay is ready..." it is defenetly not! Why do you need to push it like this? Release 0.7.13, or even .14 if you want it to be good, and do not rush it just to have as a big release ASAP!

" Consumables are activated automatically..." Good bye tactics...

want control of both squadren and ship at the same time this doesn't sound good at all so change it

I'm sorry, but based on the third round of public testing of the new CV game-play concept, it's far from being smooth, polished, balanced or ready for the live servers in any way, shape or form. Releasing it in the current state is premature and is going to cause a massive $h**-storm.

I thought we would be testing patch 0.8.0...

 

Any achievements and progress from previous Public Tests will be wiped.

Yep, said 5.30pm CET / 4.30pm UK but client not connecting and nothing on any of the forums saying there is a delay.

 

Maybe they are still reading through responses to the recent Waterline video..

 

TB.

You drunk m8? We are already playing 0.7.12 for a full week, PTS round 2 ended like 2...3 weeks ago

lol, I'm downloading the beta test centre now, I hope it's not too salty in there.  I understand not everyone likes the cv rework but from my experience of software releases you cam only beta test so far before you run into a diminishing return on results.  They say that's where they are now, the only way to see if it's ready is to release it onto the general gaming servers and it'll either kill it or it'll be fine.  Hopefully the repair guys will take a backup before they run CV 2.0 else wows are in for a bloody nose. lol

Restart your client a couple of times, it will show up.

Thanks, I've tried restarting without success. Will retry some other times

I agree. This restriction seems really needless and detrimental — and arbitrary, to boot.

[Seinta]

From what I've seen it's pretty good:

Torp bombers are kinda hard to land but it's nothing that little practice can't fix same with Dive bombers.

 

AA wise I see the biggest problems:

Sectors are nice as long as you are not getting shot at or torped by a CV. Def AA should definitely be updated with the CVs, the cooldown and charges should go with the RTS CV.

I had Def AA active and shot zero planes shortly after that I shot 10 planes after they flew directly over me in the Wooster.

 

I had enough CVs attack me while DefAA is up to see how ineffective it is as deterrence but the panic effect is still much needed to protect friendly ships. Def AA needs a drastically shorter cooldown and infinite charges if we are going to have multiple CVs.

Battle Stations Midway here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Some body get the Sippy Cups out and the P.B.J. sandwiches.....    Kiddy time is here......           SIGH..... (FACE PALM )

The new carrier madness-update is going to get live and not scrapped ?!

 

If that goes live, i will stop playing WoWs, just as i did years earlier with both WoT and WowP!

It was not wise from me to expect the third WG's product to be better than predecessors.

[soramirez]

I need a clarification on how the compensation works for regular CVs: what happens if the highest tier you have is an odd one? For example, I have a Hiryu but I haven't unlocked the Shokaku yet. What would happen?

You are right, this is a really good evidenece how WG supports [edited] and crap players. They will make an Idiot friendly CV rework because the handling difficulty. Thank You!

If there is something harder to handle/play, doesn't mean that the level must be lowed to make it more noob friendly. If you wanna be a better player you must play better, it's so f... simple.

Are not enough useless [edited] in this game yet WG? It seems they want more!

not sure if 'up' is the correct term here, but 'it' will be running like excrement in a sewer (be sure to plug your nose so you miss the olfactory hit)

I tried out the new CVs today for the first time, against bots. And I'm speechless.

I really hope the tier 4 japanese CV is some kind of a bad joke. Ive never seen more useless ship than this until now. Bomb hit to enemy - no damage at all or 300 HP damage. Only a perfect citadel hit gives you... 3000 damage. Amazing.

 

During the first game I was figuring out how to use the planes. In the end of the second battle I was already bored to death. I had to skip that totally useless tier 4 CV. Went for the tier 6. Tried the torp planes. Attack on enemy Queen Betty worked. But it's almost impossible to hit turning cruisers. I can only imagine the "fun" of torping when Ill have to attack actively dodging real CA players.  

 

And can someone explain to me, why there is all this wobbling of your planes? Why you cant just lead them the way you want to the target?  

Originally I wanted to grind the two CV lines to tier 8 before the rework and then maybe try out the new tier 8 carriers. But now, after seeing this "amazing" CV-rework on the test server, I'm starting to change my mind. Maybe the best thing to do is to give up entirely this CV madness and just collect the free XP I'll get for both tier 8 CVs and invest it in the new, insanely overpriced 1 million XP US ship?

But you know about the weakspots of different ships and the ap bomb angle? Pretty important for dealing damage with ap bombs
