Aircraft Carriers: Ship Replacement Rules - Discussion Thread

[WT_Horrido]

My two most successful ships, Hiryu and Zuiho are gone. Thank you very much.   I want to command aircraft carriers,  not to fly with planes.

 

Reverse the carrier patch!

[TudodMelyikFeri]

now wows mostly like world of airplanes with some ships

I waited for the aircraft rework very anxiusly, and is great!!, good job wg, feels like a real battle in the ocean, and the effects are great, but in my first battles the sound of the planes go wrong it sound choppy, when you aproach to enemy battleships the sound is worse and my fps decrease, I hope you make performance improvements for PC of medium and low resources.

Great job indeed. You just killed CV's in this game. Nice work...

Already traded in my siapan and kaga , the change as i expected is terrible , i will no longer be playing the cv class which is a shame as it was my fav class

WG really should learn to listen to their playerbase, this isn't what the majority of the playerbase wanted and it certainly isn't a good rework.
WG - Reverse the rework, and go back to the drawingboard, the rework makes you play warplanes, it doesn't make you play a carrier - if we wanted to play warplanes, we'd go play world of warplanes, this game is about warships, not warplanes.

In regards to premium carriers, if they were purchased with real currency, you should be issuing refunds, not compensation in form of doubloons, and people actually have the right to get a refund when you change the product like this. If they were purchased with doubloons, then compensating with doubloons is the only reasonable to do.

I have a question , before the update I had 300k exp after elite status on Shokaku and Taiho fully researched with 120k something exp towords Hakuryu , now after the update I have a shokaku with 540k epx. I could research the new Hakuryu but I wonder if at a later time (under 50 d) I can exchange it using the special exchange in the inventory tab .

And another question since no one is addressing it here , is it allowed to sell a CV multiple times ?

wel i tried to sell my saipan, thinking i would get those dubloons, and i dident. got ingame money, but i wanted those dubloons... i dont see any other button to get rid of the ship than that. as a fervent carrier player, i am disliking this update, the new play style feel verry castrated and took peronaly for myself the fun away, i kind of am thinking of getting rid all of my carriers aswel. so wargaming, what i dit wrong with selling? im verry dissapointed in this update wargaming.

thanks for the repley, im not here to try to convince anyone, i honnestly was struck down not knowing how to do it, and clearly i dit it wrong, thanks for giving me the information needed and i do hope that wargaming is reading this aswel.

I was never a fan of the AC category but played it casually.

 

The only good thing with this patch is that I've managed to obtain 150.000 free XP as I have sold the AC's and converted the XP to free XP.

 

I never found it easy playing AC's anyway but I think this patch appears to have made them harder to play.  Its certainly more boring playing this class.

 

I'm not sure a brand new player would one understand how to play the class or two have the staying power to master it.  Long term (if that statement is true) will result in less players playing AC's so for me that's a good thing.

 

I'm sure there was a method to their madness in changing how you operate AC's but for me its now a class I simply wont bother with.

 

Good luck to those of you who understand how to play these ships but its way above my head!!!!

[Peregrineus]

This might all be good an well, but I'm a relatively new player (in battle count) and wanted to try the carriers as a class. Having layed through the battleship class in the Japanese tech tree, and today finally having enough XP to unlock it.... NOW YOU MOVED THE CARRIERS TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TREE!?!?!?

 

So now suddenly I have to play through the destroyers to get there...

 

Screw this.

Its not like you have much experience with playing CVs, do you really feel this comment was necessary? 

 

I'm looking forward to test the new CV gameplay on live servers and hope that WG will closely monitor their balance.

Sorry What do you want?

 

WOWS from beginning was a Tactical strategy game in which each ship category has its place. You did the Arcade Kids game, sorry ... which reaction do you expect?

 

Not only CV is not playable:

- 1 squadron manage

- neverending amount of planes

- all tactical / strategical aspect gone

 

but also it has impact to the rest ships. Maybe few people will be fun with it but finnaly ... the game will gone. 

 

I have uninstal this game becasue Arcade CV damage also the rest ships gameplay...

[cosminc]

So what is this ?  where is the Free exp that was promissed  , it shows gray exp .

You clearly have not played the reworked version at all.

The planes are far from "neverending", on higher tiers when you lose them you will quickly become unable to launch full squadrons again.

Are you suggesting that picking targets, positioning your CV, squadron and fighters has no strategical and tactical value at all? That's simply not true.

How is this rework any more damaging to any specific class than the version we had before?

Ok, you are officially just bad at it and desperately searching for an excuse.

Accuracy is something that comes with experience and effects all ships to variying degrees. If your accuracy is subpar, then USN HE bombers are your only hope. HE bombers will alyways do some damage and fires no matter where you hit the target. AP bombs can shatter and ricochet (or pen turret or similar) for flat 0 dmg a hit. Hitting nose/stern of most ships will result in overpens doing like 850dmg ( i think) for Hakuryu or 300dmg for Hosho and lastly some ships (DD'S) dont even have a citadel you could potentially hit. That is ignoring the fact that USN drops more bombers per run.

 

He showed you the potential by actually doing a bombing run and posting a picture of the outcome, that's neither useless nor good looking data. Besides that line made me laugh.

USN DD's have been reliable ships since their release.

USN light cruiser are often called overpowered for good reasons and USN heavy cruisers have (arguably)the best AP in the game while still retraining impressive HE ... and both have long lasting radar and good concealment.

USN BB have been reliable ships for most of the time, some of them like Montana or North Carolina very competetive even. Only few of them have been power creeped hard and none of them is as feared as FdG or Izumo...

USN carriers have always been ... well carriers, they just sh*t on everything that is not a carrier. Low tier suffers, mid tier and high tier can hold it's own and the introduction of AP bomber squads to the USN:

 

 

Well, no matter what you say the fact is after just 6 Days of releasing WG announced is own confession that JAPs are OP and they are on the way fixing it.
