Basicly ships have no AA down there and you can drop 2 torps per attack run now. Times 3 so 6 torps and you hardly will lose any plane. Its rediculous really. Even autodrop Hosho felt extremely OP to me, but what ive seen people do with the current Hosho? Its a joke really.... It is. I've reset my IJN line, and the results are emberassingly clubby. Don't dismiss this result by the low battle count, as it has been effortless. I've mentioned this in several posts, this is bad for recruitment of new players.

It was really powerful and fun to play with. I still carry it with the same captain but alas, it's not useful anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You’re lucky you haven’t met any good CV players. I’d have stomped you if I met you regrinding Hosho.
