yeah, basically, 

a great majority of the playerbase does not give a flying skybuck about things going on in the game as long as they go boom boom in big nasty ships.

So you can't make them unhappy :) 

 

oh for the love of god, can you too please get a room already!!!!

 

PS: what? no! .. I'm not jealous!! 

Good morning sunshine

I guess we all se this costly ship behaving like a penguin on drugs occasionally so you are of course not wrong... (could even have been me... :cap_fainting:  )

 

I apologize for the intellectually interested minority who sees this as an historic opportunity to somehow experience battles of the wars and try out the boats, both those that were never built along with the famous heroic ones... Did anyone consider setting up scenarios from real battles, like Leyte? Jutland? Midway ? Maybe not from a realistic standpoint, but setting up the amount of ships and geography...

WG... NERF THIS PIECE OF EXCREMENT.

 

So I was sailing in my Des Moines, and enemy Manfred decided, probably after one look on the MM monitor, to literally focus only me for the entire match.

 

I sailed with two Yamas and Hindi for overlapping AA. He came casually and striked me. I sailed alone, he came in and strike me. 0 counter-play available. 0 fun had.


WHICH OTHER CLASS OR SHIP CAN CONSTANTLY TARGET WHOEVER THEY CHOOSE??????!!!!!! NERF! THIS! IDIOTIC! SHIP!

 

These are the stats of the unicum who ruined my match:

Don't ask me why, but I think this was intended by some obscure force within this weird company.

I would happily change my CV's for something else. But I would have to get something 

really good for the Enterprise ( witch I god from Container)

I would even stop playing them if WG introduces a friendly tutorial/learning experience for new players.

 

Like yeah, I am totally going to suffer through thousands of lowtier games in the state they are right now, just to git gud.

when i joined the game we didn't have any fancy-schmanzy sky defense. we had AA guns! two aa guns, and a fighter for the whole team - and we had to share the fighter!

Buck-up, boy. You are one very lucky player!

Without bothering to track you down over the entire map and exposing it self to incoming fire?

 

CARRIERS!

 

MAY THE GOOD LORD IN HIS MERCY SEE FIT TO EXTERMINATE THEM FROM OUR BELOVED SURFACE BATTLE GAME!!

LET THE FIRES OF KHORNE RAIN UPON THEM!

THE ALMIGHTY WISE EMPEROR OF MAN WILL SURELY NOT LET THIS ABOMINATION CONTAMINATE OUR BATTLES FOR FREEDOM AND JUSTICE

How was this better?

Those damage numbers are crazy.

Is this supposed to have been more fun for other ship classes than CV?

Miss the RTS CV =  Miss those crazy damage numbers?

5:15 - 146k damage 3 kills

Where is the difference exactly?

 

RTS CVs traded higher alpha damage for less frequent attacks. Reworked CVs attack more often with lower alpha, so its still the same. Alltho there is no no-fly-zone any longer, thus it can be argued, that reworked CVs can push out more damage constantly.

Back in the RTS days, it made sense to run AA-builds. None of those people in your video did, they didnt even use defAA (or not properly atleast) because that would have saved the Buffalo, Gearing, Hindenburg and Moskva from being blasted, and the Roon could have helped/saved the Massa with it. 

Saying that this is how RTS CVs were for everyone, is absolutely not true. I could choose to make myself a target the CV wouldnt want to go for, or atleast waste his planes. Cant do that nowadays. He kills me, or kills me even faster depending what i do.

Its like if someone would say, DDs are so OP when they devstrike 5 straightlining BBs consecutively.

Like this:

 

Also hint: If you haven't realized it yet CV damage potential in high tiers has remained the same.

Not like they had a choice.

Since, you know, stealth AA.

 

Alternatively they could ofc hold back their planes the whole match but then the CV is useless. Aka they could be counterplayed.

Unlike now.

That you're even asking shows how little you know about the subject at hand.

So they could be counter played by few ships. The rest was fucked like GK in that video.

Compared to now where every ship or even groups get dumpstered by CVs.

What was that again about RTS being worse?

Insane Alpha Strikes Damage of the RTS CV

And most ships can do nothing about it as shown in the video.

Reworked CVs retain the same damage potential. Whether it is delivered in a single attack or multiple within the same time period is irrelevant, the target still dies. Nothing has changed in that regard.

Most > none. Also almost every ship could turn into a no fly zone with a full AA build. Now a full AA build is beyond worthless.

To put some narrative into your logic:

RTS CVs = BBs like Yamato

Reworked CVs = spam light cruisers like Smolensk

 

So Smolensk is awesome, hardly a threat to anyone. Only little needle stings, mostly ineffective.

while Yamato is the blatent OP ship, which deals huuge damage numbers per salvo.

 

Yea. community will disagree on that. As it does on your CV judgement.

It's a conspiracy....

 

Third time in the last few weeks the game crashes on me when I have a CV in my sights. Which is not that often...
