Stupid console mode done for people that never seen a WWII documentary.

 

Dont control our carriers or more squadrons is as if the rest of the players, can't turn with their ships if they are on guns and the salvo reach to their target. Please, dont kill this game with this stupid "rework" (the worse thing done for people with zero naval knowledge.

 

Isn't for console say it (but perfect if this work for console, say then)... it is for console we see.

 

 

Please, never put this """"""rework""""" and please, fire out all people on that garbage desing. This will no done with my future money. I sorry for the RN carriers, I thing that no time spend will be necesary with this new crap mode.

 

If I want play with planes, I will go to WoWp, this is a game of ships.

 

Really, WG don't know how do better a game, This only is for ocassional brainless console players (good console players will find this anohter garbage).

Lovely when someone says: I will remove this from you, because you are not need that... So GG!

New AA bubles: Yeah when you leave the area, and the smoke spawns at you... COOl 3 planes gone... no time to 'wasd'

Plan early with drops = wait moving in straight line...

Bombers diving: nice plans, but the aimming system is still bad for that!
also: planning to put fire on parts to the enemy: not a new thing at all!!!

Yaay aircraft controll: direct sight for detection , but no elevation adjustment for good measure...
Skill vs skill: with RNG AA... Good call...

Reintroducing old carriers in new role-set: Should be released simultaneiosly!!!

Those stats about the surveys are jokes...

Japanese Carriers. American Carriers. How about GZ? Dead? Gone? Stolen? On Vacation?

[knaveofengland]

updates allways welcome but with the way wg are i do think the cv gameplay is good for pc players ,with the new controls for the ps4/xbox has to be redone , you all have to remember the ps4 and xbox market is huge and wg wants a piece of it.i dont think the new update with the cvs be that good for the pc players .

 

it should be way easier for the ps4,xbox kiddies reason for the new gameplay , do think it should be kept as it is for the pc players

[ColonelPete]

Looks like you need more time to polish the gameplay.

Why not take two-three month more time to make the gameplay ready? Why the need to rush it?

 

Players do do not want unpolished gameplay and game balance on the fritz for two months.

[Generalisator]

Well, same procedure as every Update/Announcement, never disappoint to screw players a bit more. The Wargaiming Way.

 

Well, Gaijin does the same. A Russian only phenomenon?

No look at EA. Ruined whole brands an their companies.

 

Successful "settings" on a unique market.

Look at Blizzard and WoW.

 

Always the same scheme.

All these companies had the chance to learn from their own failures and that of others.

But also the successful things.

Somehow they always grab the wrong end of the crocodile.

 

Sad thing watching parts of our hobby dying.

 

But hey, it is at least an economical Darwin effect. The market cleanse itself.

 

At least these "east" companies doesn't go woke. Most times.

Amazing to see Tuccy liking an own WG-Bot

 

On this rework: Aren't you afaind of the negative backlash from the playerbase, if you put out this unbalanced mess?

I mean, if it is too broken, players might leave because of this. I doubt you'll balance this fast enough for majority of players.

What gonna happen to the carriers we have if we don't like the new gameplay, refund for captains, perma-camos, upgrades etc? Any news about that, maybe I have missed it?

As long as I get a full CREDIT CARD refund for my present GZ, I won't miss the reworked CV FARCE version at all.

Quite a few current CV players will be obtaining a lot of credits and free experience. I know I will.

Guess I will be saving that for the new regular tech tree line DDs, Cs & BBs that show up.

Reworked FARCE CVs? Not a Snowballs chance in Hell here.

If I had the choice the reworked CV FARCES would be thrown into a blast furnace.

Burn, baby, burn

[antean]

Did I say I was going to buy more DDs?

I plan on hunting & sinking the reworked CV FARCES.

Did the Titanic crew notice the Iceberg soon enough?

Not being able to control my own carrier directly and automatic consumables is a dealbreaker for me. Other classes are able to control both their ship and their guns at the same time - why oh why does this have to be so hard? Just make the automatic functions be optional and not mandatory. It seems like WG has got this rework mantra of no control of more than one thing for the player to a point where they cant see how limiting it is for the player. I certainly will not play carriers I cant control.

[GuderianDK]

If you dont want players to be able to control carriers why have them on the map at all? Jest let the players launch off map.

[GuderianDK]

Oh yeah and please dont make a 1 hour long video with such a lazy and time consuming banter time without any real information ½ the time - that is waisting our time.

[Timberjac]

What a CV should be able to do:

 

Maneuver in favor of the wind to launch airplanes faster and that these arrive faster to form at a height of combat.

 

Maneuver against the wind to recover your aircraft, in less time and more security (perhaps, introducing a random factor of accidents that may ignite the deck if not recovered in the right conditions).

 

Select the armament of your planes, leaving selections for ground attack or attack on ships and to change from one mode to another, it originates a reset (if not total if partial) of the preparation time of the squadron (should be higher and that would reduce the potential damage) , thus enabling the Nagumo dilemma at Midway.

 

That the recovery of aircraft, in conditions of adverse wind, would increase the possibility of catastrophic accidents that start a fire the flight deck or even do damage to the ship.

 

 

 

What would need aCV:

 

The introduction of wind mechanics, whether variable or static throughout the battle.

 

Have ground targets that are easier to reach from the air than from a surface bombardment. Or even, that the two sides were fighting (and moving, no static) and needed that precision. Or maybe land bases that if destroyed, stop repairing ships. And more when only a sad map is entirely sea or has open sea.

 

 

 

That do not need CV's:

 

The crap "rework" designed a team of incompetents at WG.

Lol.

 

They won't give you crap. They are covered by their TOS.   They can throw away some in-game gold/credits back (which to them don't really value anything) but you will never see money from WG refunded back to you. The laws are really stupid in this regard. So WG thanks you for your contribution and NEEEXT sucker please :) I am pretty sure they wait in line to buy the next OP ship.

Of course they will hide behind their TOS. My post was to give vent to my complete opposition to the CV FARCE rework.

I'll take back the doubloons, credits & free exp values and spend that on 'something else' - the 'something else' to mostly be ships to hunt the reworked FARCE CVs with (lol).

As to playing the reworked FARCE CVs - NO. (A Snowball would have a better chance in Hell inside a blast furnace on max burn)

[Master_Arne]

Have been watching Fara doing CV play, and that is a beautiful ballet.

The New CV rework is at best like jerking off With a cheese iron. Slightly amusing, but mostly painful.

 

RIP CV..

well from what i saw on flamu video CVs now have unlimited planes and also the now have rocket launchers that can fire multiple times on ship without having to return to rearm how are we supposed to combat a ship that has unlimited planes and with rocket launchers no less i mean cmon guys are you trying to lose players or what!!

WG doesn't seem to care. It's like they built Frankenstein one way then decided they needed the wife of Frankenstein (built another way).

So my Graf zeppelin secondary build is going to be pointless now?

Almost certainly.
