I have been playing Co-Ops for the last 3 weeks. So relaxing.

 

Great if you like it. Coop, to me, is not even a game mode, it's a glorified shooting range. I'm looking for tactical thrills and the bots are not delivering. So it's random or nothing. :cap_rambo:

I agree, but the stress that comes with randoms to me right now is not worth it.

Mostly from the CVs.

T6-8 with 2 T8 cv's per side, thats a NO then.

Dude that's really bad. I never have seen that happen. Worst I have seen is T7-8 with a T6 CV and a T8 CV. 

Once, while fail-divving, I managed to get my T6 CV into a T9 battle with a T8 CV (that was fun, LOL). 

I never see much double-CV matches, you must have been extremely unlucky.

Well I am not so sorry for you as for him, he got two T8 Cvs in T6-7 ships.

At least you had all T8s (and you weren't in a "bad AA" ship... that thing is vicious).

Sorry mate, nice try but no cigar... :Smile_trollface: :Smile_veryhappy:

ROFL. TBH I'd not hesitate do T10 with Ark Royal or Furious or Ryujo (not sure about Ranger or the Germans).

Also I dunno how bad Langley was back then, nor T7. Only experienced the last bit of it.

I still regularly do fail divs with T7s in Ark Royal. It's fun! :Smile_playing:

Imagine battleships having actual counter in this game

Imagine defending the most broken class in the game that also requires the least effort, while at the same time sporting an anime avatar.

Well, actually it would be kinda fun. I sometimes go for the enemy CV.

Sometimes they are really easy to kill. But if its 5CVs, they'd have to cap and do other stuff as well. 

And go through the middle on Two Brothers map. :Smile_playing:

I did that once with Hiryu... in Coop, but still was funny as hell. The entire team had a blast and cheered for me, man that was fun.

Maybe @ForlornSailor has some pics from it, as i was kinda busy at the time and couldnt take screenshots. But he was like "wtf is that CV going past me" when he was waiting at the exit of the channel. Killed the DD with secondaries, then the Omaha with bombers, dropped the Dunkerque and rammed it for permaflood.

Battlecarrier in action :Smile_playing:

Well, there's a few factors to that:

- most subs were tunnelvisioning, and they did not notice the planes;

- it was before they found out about the 6.0m cheese;

- mostly I got them when they were trying to torp a teammate. 

 

After a while I could not get them anymore, they just stayed below 6.0m (at 6.1m...). Couldn't hurt them there. 

What they tried then was to sneak up on my CV. Of course that didn't work, as I could still spot them and my CV was faster so I could outrun them.

So we divved up a CV and a DD, I would spot them and my teammate would just depth charge them. When they surfaced I'd use the carpet bombers.

Co-operation goes a long way and is definitely more OP than whatever ship WG invents. :Smile_trollface:

Do we have a consensus concerning unique upgrades? Midway looks good, Hakuryu feels more like a sidegrade; is it?

It is (imo).

Well been here since beta even back then said this class was a bad idea but never mind do it anyway then buffs nerfs to everything that got in the way for so called balance my point is this class is in most ways OP it can out spot a DD it can out maneuver a cruiser it can cripple a BB you base this class on team play saying stay safe behind a cruisers AA however this is only a feature in clan battles or clan matches in a random match no such thing as a team spin that anyway you want the only way to make this class actually fit is to first give all BBs at least a min 30k more health remove citadels from cruisers and have it as say a critical hit or whatever reduce DD detection to 2.5 by air or below so the planes have to be directly above and last but not least make the maps at least 4 squares bigger but as a final note I hate the class last time I tried it I fell asleep not joking so congrats to those that don't but if you want to fly planes maybe a flight sim would be better but who cares WG do whatever you can't please the entire player base so please stop trying as the more you do the more you break sorry for the long post but it's a fair one I think

I don't think I have ever seen an game that hates its player base as much as wargaming does. I'm just a mediocre player and I'm fine with that. However I'm not happy with getting destroyed by carriers that are impossible to do anything against. No counterplay whatsoever and thought Des Moines supposed to be an AA ship? Well I just can't make it work against carriers, they get their drop down no matter what I do. Manage to somehow dodge the first 2-3 strikes? Well, lucky for me a 4th strike get that lucky hit 30% of hp gone, ofcourse they can do another strike with same planes, another 30% hp gone. I give up. Going to check out war thunder instead as next season cb have the carriers again.

REMOVE CVs, or make AA effective againt. Cant be a full AA cruiser and captain gets 3 attacks ! Remove CVs from Competetive gameplay as soon as possible. No CLAN want them in CW !!! You cant win with 3:1CV with all caps, because the CV runs away and kills each ship one by one. And you cant even shoot him.

 

Thats such a shame WG. Thats not balanced.

Some say there is only a handful of same formites complaining about carriers. Some say spreadsheets can determine if you are having fun :D

Seems to be a regular stream of new names to me. Once the regulars stops discussing pointless stuff, it becomes apparent others pop by too...
