[W-L] Rhineheart_Thor [W-L] Players 1,738 posts 15,515 battles Report post #1 Posted October 6, 2019 I have been in a lot of discord chat recently about T4 and being ripped off with 2 CV,s per game, and no one having any AA to talk of. I put this tactic to you all for comment:- All ships meet up and work as one " Blob Unit " ( AA Bubble ) When you are all together work one flank and go to kill a CV / CV,s 1st Once you have rid of the " nonsense " then go for the objectives. Keep moving as one blob unit, No camping, you need ever ship to all be moving together, you work to the slowest BB. This tactic is dependant on every team member working together.

[-OOF-] ollonborre Beta Tester 2,598 posts 12,758 battles Report post #2 Posted October 6, 2019 And as soon as you end up in a Domination type battle you have lost the entire map while chasing down their CV. Blob up by all means, but don't chase the CV from the start, it's a waste of resources and ships. CV hunting is only viable if it gets caught out of position or is the only one left, other than that all you should do is just brace for air attacks. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A tactic that depends on that does not work. While the Tier IV CV are slow, running after them takes a lot of time, if they are not braindead. Game could be over before you reach them. It is better to focus enemy ships in range. And since the AA bubbles are rather small, a bigh blob does not give you an advantage. Two to three smaller blobs have the same effect and you can cover objectives better and/or flank better. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[W-L] Rhineheart_Thor [W-L] Players 1,738 posts 15,515 battles Report post #5 Posted October 6, 2019 This is ridiculous from a game point of view for the players. One wonders should we all spend no more money on the game, play only T4 CV,s and do not buy any more premium ships??? Now, from a business point of view it makes perfect sense, pushing T4 players up before they are ready from frustration. There are solutions 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[-TPF-] invicta2012 Players 6,382 posts 26,855 battles Report post #6 Posted October 6, 2019 WG are desperate to get people playing CVs. Tier IV CVs were no fun, so they boosted some of them to make them more fun. And we're all enjoying the consequences. Presumably the idea is to get people to Free XP their way up to Tier VI. And if you've played Tier VI recently, you'll see what happens when you encourage that. Nagato's hiding behind islands wailing about "OP cruisers" - it's a Fiji mate, it's made of glass - BB blobs in A9 - and regular appearances from the Royal Navy D class destroyer flotilla of HMS Doomed, HMS Detonation and HMS Dumbbell. 2 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
