babytard Weekend Tester 7 posts 915 battles Report post #2 Posted May 14, 2015 I'm not a carrier player but I love the amount of planes in the air with the new Japanese carriers. Feels more realistic and "epic" seeing the sky flooded with planes rather than 5-10. My FPS is taking a hit however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[-GOD-] McLeod [-GOD-] Weekend Tester 399 posts 7,184 battles Report post #3 Posted May 14, 2015 No tier 9 and 10 carriers yet though, must need further balancing. How does the 4 per squadron affect the Japanese carriers ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HabDichErwischt Beta Tester 51 posts 233 battles Report post #4 Posted May 14, 2015 How does the 4 per squadron affect the Japanese carriers ? Since it's the same amount of planes per Carrier (T8 4x6=24, T8 6x4=24), I think it's just that US fighters are stronger in 1 squad vs. 1 squad, but japanese carriers can spread their squads to attack multiple targets at a time.

[RNAF] HMS_Worcester Beta Tester 1,609 posts Report post #5 Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) I cannot believe they have buffed the Warspite's secondaries, I love WG sometimes. 7km range + now more accurate....bring on more US DDs! Edit: Not had a chance to have any battles yet, but have used free xp to get up to and fully upgrade the New Mexico....can't wait to try the US BBs when I get home from work.

[TUD1] Captain_Edwards Beta Tester 1,182 posts Report post #7 Posted May 14, 2015 Very nice feel now. Before it was a bit too arcadey, now it feels "just right". Still think we need more tweaks and improvements, but its getting there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How does the 4 per squadron affect the Japanese carriers ? Japs have a complete lack of fighter-focused loadouts. You're practically stuck with 1 fighter-squad until late in the tree and even then, you only get 2 fighter squads. This is a critical design-error, imo.

[GG_HF] MassTahh Beta Tester 100 posts 10,441 battles Report post #13 Posted May 14, 2015 Game indeed feels nice, ships seem to respect laws of physics now. Another nice touch is the new map! no more [edited] BBs play so to all of those that claimed its a fault of player - your argument was invalid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're practically stuck with 1 fighter-squad until late in the tree and even then, you only get 2 fighter squads. This is a critical design-error, imo. I seem to recall there being talk about a second IJN carrier line which I guess will include support/escort carriers. So in that case essentially you get two sub-classes of carriers in two different research lines. Holding out for Mogami 1943 refit and Ise 1943 refit.

[TSUN] Aerroon Community Contributor 2,268 posts 12,129 battles Report post #15 Posted May 14, 2015 Honestly, the new patch feels absolutely horrendous. The DD and CV nerfs seem pretty ridiculous coupled with BB buffs. Yes, it feels nice to dodge torpedos that are shot almost at point blank range in a battleship, but how the hell am I going to do anything in DDs now?

BTW I just now had a battle in my Independence against a Lexington He killed my 2 fighters and 1 DBs with one of his fighter squadron Yeah I just set 5 way-point across the map border and quit the game So far really enjoying the patch Edited May 14, 2015 by Bl4ckh0g 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
genai Beta Tester 675 posts 1,928 battles Report post #19 Posted May 14, 2015 Welcome to World of Battleships! It was obvious where this is going with all the 3.1 patch info that could be found before. DDs, CVs, CAs... no longer needed in games(CA being even worse now... if thats even possible as they were horrible before), or useful at all! DDs might have some use, but better be safe and go with BB! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SPURD] woppy101 Beta Tester 613 posts 10,606 battles Report post #21 Posted May 14, 2015 It's about time the BB's got buffed, tell me again when in history a Cruiser or 2 could go toe to toe with a Battleship at 8-10km and out damage it with its 8" guns and then reduce it to a pile of wreckage in a few minutes?

Tulkie Beta Tester 2 posts 6,196 battles Report post #24 Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) No idea what's happened to my install, but updating to 0.3.1 kinda nuked it and the game refuses to load either from the launcher or starting it directly from the WorldOfWarships.exe.

Bl4ckh0g Weekend Tester 1,668 posts 33 battles Report post #25 Posted May 14, 2015 Naah, I bet more wankers are on the way Yeah It was kind of an douche thing to quit the battle Well, yeah except I lost 18 planes in the first 3 minutes in the match against essentially 1 fighter squadron of the Lexington, I either kill my other 12 planes achieveing absolutley nothing and lose some credits then proceed to watch the match doing nothing for 15 minutes or I just simply quit and play something else I also find the HE shells over-performing, halving DDs with one salvo and doing 7k damage in one salvo against a battleship and then burn him for 16k damage, while literally doing 0 damage against him with AP Doing 1-2k damage salvos against Aobas and Omahas with AP seems rather underwhelming to me, overall HE seems better against everything now Making the CAs turn like a destroyers, and battleships like CAs kind of kills the point of the torpedoes since they can be avoided with ease Nerfing the USN DD line, thus making the Sims a Type 59 kind of ship, while also removing essentially any sense of progress in guns for 5 tier in that line also seems like a rather bad idea Making the USN BBs both short ranged AND more inaccurate than the Japanese seems rather interesting While also completely missing the needed nerf of the Myoko to fit her in tier 7- having 25% more DPM and 5k more health than the Pensacola While giving minimum buff to Mogami despite moving her up one tier Making the Ranger's fighters receive a 150% damage boost compared to the Independence's seems like an odd decision This is coming from around 7-8 battles Seems like the patch isn't as good as advertised Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
