1. Yes. Because that is usually wat Wins Battles. A Shimakaze for example can easily protect itself from CVs by staying behind their BBs/Cruisers. But it will be utterly useless there. Because a Shima to be useful either has to Flank the Enemy with Torps or Take Caps. Both of which are positions where BBs/Cruisers cant follow.   Thats why staying together close enough to provide AA Cover is often not an Option if you want to Win the Match.   Moreover. You need 3-4 people to actually make a CV have trouble attacking you.     2. People dont like ZigZagging because it exposes their Citadel. CVs can freely attack from any Direction. So any CV worth his Salt will Attack in a Cross to his Team. Because that means if the Target tries evade your strike he will end exposed to the Enemy Ships.   Example. Yamato bow in to your Team. As CV you will easily use Divebombers and Attack from the Bow. For the Yamato to evade. He needs to show broadside to your Divebombers. But that means he would need to also Show Broadside to your Teams BBs. Thats why its not an real Option.     3. Camping and Parking is common because some Ships work like that. HE Spam Cruisers for example dont have the Armor and Fast Damage output to engage in an Ooen Water Artillery Duel. Moreover they Fire constantly and thus need to adjust Aim constantly. Unlike a BB which Aims and Fires and then has 20-30 Seconds to Maneuver. A Worcester has 3 Seconds.   Yamato is a good Example too. You often see them Parking. The Reason is that their rear and side Armor is very weak. They easily get Citadeled or struck with high Damage if you show even parts of your Side or rear. So for them the only way to use their Big Guns is to Bow in at long Range. And since they cant Brawl either they have no choice but to park or reverse.     4. It is. Because a DD is designed to Fight below 10km range. If he sits behind his BBs at 15-20km range. He could just as well be AFK. But other Ships cant follow him forward cause they would get massacred.   So the DD has no choice. If DDs stay back the Game will generally be a Roflstomp cause Enemy gets all Caps and your team is Forced to Yolo or lose by Points.     5. German CVs Rockets to be precise. Cause Torps and AP Bombs can only be partially mitigated by Angling. Currently the only CV Weapon that cares for Angling of Armor is German AP Rockets. Everything else will still work.     6. Captain Skills are Importand for everything. Always try to train Captains.             If you want to Annoy CVs.   A. Use Smoke. Yes its a waste. But its the only thing the CV cant easily breach. B. Do NOT abandon your Duties. If you retreat the CV has already Won cause your out of the Game. If you sit behind Teammates because your scared of the CV then you could just as well be Dead. C. Use Sector. It wont stop the CV. But it at least slows his Impact by losses if enough people do it. D. If the CV is Spotted. Shoot him. You might not kill him. But all HP he loses forces him to be further away. E. ONLY evade if you can do so without exposing yourself. Especially as BB. Taking the Strike is often better than Showing Broadside. F. Damage Con after being safe. Or the CV will prioritize you for perma Gires/Floods.
