0.8.0 in a nutshell
 

 

They have killed of the use of CV's with this stupid update.

 

I have no idea who came up with the idea of flying your own aircraft when it takes off and only being able to use 1 squad at a time.

 

Please tell me on which CV irl does the captain fly his own aircraft into battle.

 

I'm all for adding new types of aircraft but please put the controls back to what they was, Any aircraft carrier in the world can launch more that 1 type of aircraft at any one time.

 

I have now played 4 or 5 battles using a CV and only managed to hit 1 bb with 1 torp but my aircraft got destroyed after they launched, all my other attacks my aircraft was destroyed on attack runs.

 

Can I have a full refund on these useless CV's now along with the Free XP I used to purchase 1 of them ? i'm not going to use them anymore as they are now useless and you can back them up properly with fighter planes.

Solved! Delete this.

Thats the way to quit playing.

Very good job WG.

3 CVs in batle???? u kidding me???

WTF was that????

Excellent worst job!!!! :(

I agree worst ever. I was in a battle where we had 2 CV's and the enemy had 0 CV's in a game before this patch the team with 2 CV's was a sure win but with this patch we lost because the CV's could not hit 1 target, all aircraft destroyed before launching weapons.

 

they need to go back to the old system where you could launch all your squads and have a 50% chance of hitting your target with a higher chance if you used the manual aiming controls.

Now you have a 10% chance of hitting anything and if there is a group of ships together best to just sail around and save your aircraft or enable ramming mode as you have more chance of hitting a ship that way.

I have to say, the new system feels...weird and not really rewarding. AA-Fire is way too punishing, if you dont avoid one of the thousand clouds, you're basically instantly dead. 

And for that you get a more or less good drop on the enemy ship just to circle and do the same again.

 

I guess we'll have to wait and see what the next patches bring. The CV situation right now is not really what I've had hoped for.

CV's are useless now, the aircraft is AA fodder I want to refund my CV's along with the 158.000 freexp I used to purchase 1 of them.

[orzel286]

Pros: no more bot carriers in coop!

Cons: fps dropped like new cv planes in stacked AA, from 30+ it went down to 15-30, weird bugs, like whenever bb fired his guns the sound came from my akizuki.

Kindly read the refund policy of WG in respect to CVs:

https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/game-updates/cv8-which-nation-to-choose/#exchange-rules

Your required info is at the very bottom.

 

Basically you can sell your CVs through the in-game inventory.

I just say one Comment for this "Stuff", if i want to play Planes with a Joystick i play Microsoft Flightsim or if its has to be a Wargaming Game. I play World of Warplanes. But NOT and NEVER World of Warships.

[aquatenten]

you destroy the game with this update....its a cv world now...even the fighters have rockets .....you send the destroyers to sleep with 4 cvs and 6-8 radarships in every battle

[pyromaniacs]

I've just quit my first ever game using  a DD in a game. I was the only DD in my team i got spotted by enemy CV and rocketed to pieces followed by Moskva radar.

 

DDs are now pointless because they will be spotted and can now be killed by enemy CVs and with 2 CVs per game it's impossible. Its a shame because i like dd play. 

 

The worst update ever and i'll probably quit now.

up to 3. Number of CV is the only problem. 1 is more than enought. They have to limit this as done with DD.

WoWp players welcome! ( no) . my wallet closed now.

Well look at your cruisers and BB´s that have been build up around AA they have been nerft so they don´t have 100% anymore

[Beyosu]

I have tried the new CV, this is my opinion:

 

1 Very nice graphics and good visual of the planes in the battles, the planes attacking and dodging the AA very beautiful.

 

2 Controls. CV and Bombers very badly. The bombers are very difficult to hit a boat, the CV is terrible to change course, accelerate or brake. Aircraft and rockets and rockets acceptable.

 

3 Strategy zero, now it is simply arcade and skill controlling the planes and choosing the objective. On the one hand it becomes boring if the player looks for strategy depth, but if he is a casual player he is fine.

 

4 Damage to enemy ships. The players of DD, Cruises and BB, cry can be calm, it is not for so much, although skillful players with the controls can give surprises. The CVs are now cap.

 

5 The AA of the boats has increased and does a lot of damage.

 

General opinion:
The CV has been capped, the strategy has been lost and it has become arcade, now the CVs are one more boat with a different operation from the rest, but they will not be as destructive as before in my opinion. Anyway I'm not excited about the CV now. I've sold the Lex and I'm not going to play much the Ranger or the Langley. Only when I get tired of playing many games with the rest of BB, Cruises and DD

 

Recommendations:

Limit CV in teams to one per team.

 

Very little I will play the Aircraft carriers

Problem solved - drop back down to Tier 7 or 6 playing a DD. 

 

or go buy yourself an Asashio and nuke ships from 20k in high tier matches

[Surly_Defender]

That's it, essentially they killed CVs and DDs with this update. 

[Sanitaar]

I've played couple matches in Tier X with mino and I don't mind at all. I noticed fewer DDs for somehow - wonder if its cause more planes and dds get detected more ? Maybe something to think about and improve next update. 

Anyways the game seems to run smoother and I did enjoy playing.

Is a console mode for introduce the CV to Leyends… but as ever, when a PC game rework for adjust to console, PC game lost and with it, all pc players.

 

Really it is the worse crap that any idiot can do..

This is just not fun now.

Main issues as I have experienced and see them;

1. DD's without AA are screwed if a fighter squad finds them. Before you were just spotted, but now the fighters can hit you with rockets. This is annoying.
2. Playing battleships is even less fun against carriers. Before, you could expect a single strafe from a plane squadron, now you have to dodge multiple strafes from the same squad. This is not enjoyable.
3. CVs are much more useless than before. One squad out at a time means that you cannot scout for your team, nor can you protect your allies from enemy carriers in the same way as before. This is frustrating for you as a CV and as a member of the team.
4. AA builds are completely worthless, no longer do they have the range to make them viable, meaning that you can't defend allies from air attacks without literally humping the side of their ship.
5. Whoever thought that players would like to fork out 30,000,000 credits for a tier ten, was most likely playing warthunder at the time.

All in all, this is a complete step backwards. No one is going to want to play carriers more frequently, nor are new players likely to want to.

 

If you wanted people to play CVs more often, you could simply make them earn more credits at a time than most other ships.

If you wanted to balance carriers better, you could remove the strafe function and make them all autodrop, or remove the number of planes in a strafe.

 

I know that you want to give the WoWP bunch an opportunity to have some input into the development of this game, as WoWPs is a drastic failure in comparison, but this has totally gutted the current state of play.
At this point, I would rather have all my carrier stuff removed immedietly without any compensation, than play the game in its current form.

Ehm where is the option to cancel out your cv tech tree to fxp?

"These ships have already been replaced with a French Tier IX battleship Jean Bart, and we also plan to offer U.S. Tier IX cruiser Alaska in the near future."

I don't think you understand what "near future" means. You said Alaska was ready almost two months ago now. Then you went on to do the fire duration nerf, but everyone still assumed that she'll be out when Kron and Musashi are removed. And now you're still holding her back? There's a difference between creating hype and just dragging things so much people lose interest. And nobody is going to accept that "these two have been replaced by Jean Bart", since:

- the JB has been available for some time now, and

- two ships are being removed, so it stands to reason they would be replaced by two ships. Unless my math is wrong because counting to two is just too hard, you're missing one.

Can you stop dragging the Alaska release along until eternity?

Yea this Alaska Fiasco is getting annoying.

Im all for a game developer spending an extra year fixing there broken game, WG is not doing that tough since they rather make loot containers  that people can buy then fixing there slow flash UI in the port or the contact list that takes for ever to load,  or just fix the dam F3 button that never works at targeting anything correctly.

 

I suppose the only good thing is the fact that I managed to play trough Fallout 4 1.5x times and got up to level 100+ on my new Skyrim character, I also had time to be Crew on a Lan party and I had time to weld up a car for two moths making some nice money on the side to spend elsewhere and doing other fun stuff.

So I suppose I am thanking WG for making me spend less money on there game since my planed Alaska flag grind is on hold.

 

Me and a Clan member was suppose to play Alaskas today in a div but that went to crap.

 

Ever since Alaska was around the corner I have played like 1/10 of what I sue to because I have so much EXP, FXP, CR so theirs nothing to do with it for the past 6 moths.

I play a few hours say two days a week now at most.

 

 

Well I suppose its WG losing out on me spending less and me actually spending my money else where for a change.

 

[Taniyama]

I know that WarGaming is going to take no notice but this is quite possibly the worst update ever.

 

The old carriers has a lot of strategy & skill behind them notwithstanding the fact that were RTS. In fact that added a different dimension to World of Warships.

 

Now the carriers feel like a 1990’s arcade game.

 

This update as not only destroyed carrier game play but it's altered regular gameplay, because it all comes down to one thing for your ship now.

 

AA & more AA.

 

If you haven’t got it!
