What were WOW smoking when they came up with the capabilities of her planes, they just have to look at flak and they disintegrate, even when you don't fly through it.

 

No, i'm not a noob, have plenty of time in British T4/6 carriers, they need a big buff to be even playable properly, don't even think of playing in a TX game, toying with the idea of asking for money back, she is another Azuma money spinner for WOW, selling a pup !

 

I don't care what Flamuu. Flambass and the rest of the experts say, she is not fit for purpose for the average player !

She is, you just have to play her correctly! ☆

CVs are like every other class to be played with care. ♡

You can't just fly around yoloinh just because she has many reserves. ☆

Pick your targets correctly and you will do well, save DBs and rockets for DDs, attack BBs mainly with torps. ♡

If uptiered, wait patiently for the enemy Blob to break up. ☆

THEN you go all in on those lone targets with overwhelming amounts of strike potential! ☆

I am thinking about buying the Kaga.

To test her planes i opened a training room and played Shokaku first with upgraded planes, then with the stock planes who are Kagas planes afaik.

Did not see that big of a difference in plane survivability in AA of Iowa and Baltimore. When i messed the attack run the planes were dead, no matter if stock or upgraded.

I know how to play CV, just this ship has been nerf'd to hell and back by WOW !

 

I disgaree with the late reserve stuff, why should a CV, just bumble about the game hoping to get a late kill, thats not playing in a team and not why I play them.

 

Just been in a TX and best I could do was lucky torp on a DES, tried to play as a spotter and got decimated.

 

Quantity of planes is not a level playing field, when they last a minute.

Yes, please buff the Kaga. Survivability's fine though, just buff the torp damage to be the usual IJN one, as well as maybe the flooding chance. It'd totally not be OP.

 

With regards,

a Kaga owner

Maybe don't target the AA cruiser?

I am a noob in CVs after playing around 220 games in them, 140 after rework.

You have 20 total!

 

Maybe SWAGR?

You know how to play CV in general or you know how to play them good?

Are you asking for advice how to make Kaga work or you are just here to rant and ask for Buffs?

 

Be careful what would you answer because this could be a big difference between what kind of the answers you'll get.

Sorry for hijacking the thread: I haven't played the Kaga yet, but it's the premium CV that I'm most interested in. I think I'll buy it if I don't get it from one of the containers.

 

Does it work well enough with the same skipper as Shokaku or Ryujo? I have a 19-point dude in both, but ideally wouldn't train yet another IJN CV skipper.

Dont have kaga but I have to comment on this... Oh boy

 

Ok here we go...

 

There is no team in randoms (well unless you manage a syncdrop with triple clan divisions on one side) "playing for the team" in randoms in a cv will usually leave you with meagere damage and no reserves left half way in the game, and no they will not use your spotting, they will not focus dds you target and usually they wont lift a finger when that dd (or another one) comes around to torp your :etc_swear:... Hence you play WITH the bunch of random ships that dont shoot you couse you happen to be same colour and try to do as much damage as you can and pick off low hp targets to take them out permanently...

In the time it took you to create this whinge thread and reply a few times you could have watched a CV/Kaga tutorial on Youtube and gained some valuable insight/tactics and tips. 

 

Instead you created this whinge thread and learned nothing except to have it pointed out that you are terrible in cv's and that the Kaga tier for tier, is one of the stronger CV's in the game currently.

 

If you genuinely want to learn and improve, look at yourself before pointing the finger :cap_like:

Yes, it works. It has HE bombs, but one doesn't need DE to play the ship. 50% fire chance already is good.

Most of the time, playing for the team coincides with playing for your own advantage. Scouting for example is something you'd want to do anyway to find a target for yourself at the start. Picking off ships that are vulnerable is also kinda helping, while suiciding planes into ships that aren't vulnerable helps neither you nor the team most of the time.

You obviously don't... 

 

Yes Kaga's planes are soft, but you have huge reserves. I'd rate Kaga as the 2nd best Prem CV currently.

I think Kaga is right up there with the Enterprise as best CV, just my humble opinion, haven't got the Midway yet but as lady lex is my most unlucky CV todate I am not so much looking forward to her.

 

Biggest problem  have in the game is the teams (term used loosely) unwillingness to cap, so many times the caps are just handed over to the other team, no matter how you spot or try to salvage a flank, and the of course it is all the CV's fault, lol

So let me answer a few replies ..

 

@ JG4_sKylon 20 games doen't make me an expert, but does give me enough idea on how to use the planes, spent time in training room to figure out attacks, as anybody should  but being a typical accountant player, you only prefer to look at stats. yes I have watched the videos, same as I watch the videos for all the ships I have !

 

@ fumtu Not asking for help, making an observation, the planes are just too weak taking a hit.

 
@ But_Can_You_Meme so I'm not allowed to make a comment, cause people like you instantly get qet flame up your backside and say its a whinge
 
@ Namuras Like I said, reserves and quantity don't make enjoyable game play.
 
Obviously, based on the comments, you can't have a civil and adult discussion, without the elitists and forum bashers crawl out frrom under their self-righteous rocks !
 
So just close the thread and I'll get on with my life, while you lot get on being the center of your little universe and blowing wind up your own backsides !

What we have here ladies and gentlemen, is a potato in it's natural state of mind.

See how it deflects all points and observances given. Observe how he simultaneously plays the victim whilst showing an egocentric attitude of always knowing best.

Now watch as he returns to his lair to congratulate himself at his successful voyage into the forums and his slaying of the toxic advise givers...

Kaga is kind of brain dead, like u spec into torps and that is what u spam, doing between 30 to 50 torp hits per game is revolting, but its not the boat for me, if u are having problems with her, just the torp health and spam them, but it's not the most enjoyable to spam the same thing over and over

Kaga best CV imho

The tier 10 game above was not a big score, was only 75K but was able to keep up attacks all game.

 

Anyways Kaga is good to learn skills and once skills are there will reward you to :)
