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...

 

 

Yep, very rarely see anyone other than the same 2 or 3 posters defending the class, all passing traffic seems to be anti-cv.

 

Possibly selection bias, those who like CV don't bother to post, but still informative.

Does sight stabilization cause your aim spread to narrow down faster or only shorten the pre-aiming time?

Does torp speed boost increase the minimum range torps need to aim?

Confirmed info please.

narrow down faster

yes because torps does not have an aiming distance, they have an aiming time. faster the torpedo, covers more distance at the same time.

You forgot to mention playing CV gives you 3% additional corruptionpoints to your soul! While playing against CV gives you 5% insanitypoints.

I exchanged my soul with WG for rights to have test ships :)

And clearly the other side has no sanity left so I guess it fits!.

 

Anyways doing the Epoch thingy now, first final mission up to tier 4 ships.

How on earth is this supposed to be fun for the newbies?

They can learn how to dodge like a pro?

Well, sometimes they meet a potato like me in a T4 CV... I don't have any screenshots, but believe me, it's an horrible sight - even for potato scale I'm probably the lowest of the low potatoes...

The thing is, I don't play those T4 CVs because I would enjoy playing them (unlike RTS CVs, which I enjoyed...) but just to make other players pull out their hairs out when they see the amount fail I manage to produce... and still sometimes still manage to sink ships or even win battles...

 

And yes, even a potato as me can still f*ck up the game for some poor helpless non-CV players. Like that poor T3 BB player who wrote in chat "Come on, stop it.. I don't even have any AA on this ship" to get my answer "Guess why I'm going after your ship..." shortly I managed to it really sink it

Try Hermes, 

Much more easy to complete 210 banners mission with 12 bombs per plane and 12 rockets per plane... 

and It takes longer to kill them :)

CV free random battles when?

[Ashardalon_Dragnipur]

just make CV damage 150% repairable

its silly that a battleship can lose 50% of its hp in a single attack and none of it is repairable 

just dodge 

and thats with the fighter consumable used, not that they ever do anything

No

News about CVs; there is no suggestion they will be rereworked, or removed.

https://worldofwarships.com/en/news/general-news/waterline-what-will-happen-next/

but there is news about hybrid bb/cvs that will rely on the CV rework mechanics to give players control over their planes while their bb plows on autopilot like a zombie (life as usual)

Still waiting for my ballistic missile sub. Gonna be the best game. Its gonna be huge!

[El2aZeR]

Simple theorycrafting:

- assume that Ise has the same TB alpha as Ryujo

- 1x Ryujo 2x Ise div

- 1st Ise attacks enemy CV, gets one drop off and baits fighter

- 2nd Ise and Ryujo follow up with multiple attacks since CV AA as with all AA is too weak to prevent multiple attacks

- guaranteed kill

 

Sounds perfectly fine to me.

I'm ready and waiting for my network of satellites armed with orbital strike lasers aimed with the help of a anti sub superconducting quantum interference device.

Its effectively already here! Called "Aircraft Carrier". Doesnt look and sound as fancy but mostly works the same..

I find divving up a CV and Thunderer + Smolenks is also really fine... 

Yes I know I will never have any karma...

Just took 51,793k from a CV sending full squad after squad on me. Having to fight multiple BB's and cap.... And my "counter play" against the CV.... 12 Downed planes....12.... much [edited] wow. 

 

 

And as for the BB master race.... yeah.... they did "great" also.... 7 days away from the game and I lasted 3 game and went.... ahhhhh, [edited]this.

 

 

Focused 3 games in a row by CV even when winning isn't fun.

 

I mean....... having to relay on a CV player being bad to be just tolerable?? That's not healthy for this game at all.

 

 

 

[Capra76]

Just dodge.

At least you got consolation prise in 44 planes shot down and probably fighter cover. 

My TRB yugumo is just a helpless fodder. Lucky me for T9 only games or potato CVs farming that camping BB when I kill theirs.

Well, that's not what I would say. I think when a CV player is bad, you (when playing a DD) will suffer more.

From T6 up,  they attack the DDs only, because they are not good enough to survive flak from other ships. 

That works OK for them as long as you are in a Shima or something like that. But Halland...

However that is not really what seems to be happening here. 

 

The first game (lost), looks like the CV farmed the Currywurst, he ended 4th - not that bad. And he killed you yes.

You couldn't carry your team hard enough, probably the CV went for you because you were "the last one alive"? 

Doesn't seem to me he was very good - less that 1000XP without the win bonus, your own CV was better.

Was it the red CVs fault or was it your team being cow manure?

 

In the victory game seems to me you went for their CV and had the much better team. Reversed to game 1.

However looks to me like you went for the CV, so why would he not attack you?

It is not guaranteed that this player was so bad he could only attack a DD. He just had to. 

Did you think that game was more enjoyable, because you had a mega-AA-DD and killed the CV? 

 

Meanwhile, you divved up with a CV. And as you DID div up with a CV so are guaranteed to get a CV on the reds. 

Both cases your CV did better than the enemy CV. Because he farmed harder. And why complain, then?
