But most of all: MAKE. AA. PLAYER. CONTROLLED

when i play that game this evening/tomorrow i'll post the screenshot

battlestations pacific and battlestations midway (are very very old game but historical ones, with pacific having even the japanese campaign) have the aa controlled by player,

if you are cv: planes have to take off ONE by ONE, lift ONE by ONE, they have to get prepared (wings) and, "get the speed" and take off, you have to know every ship's historical aa, does south dakota have good aa? heck yeah, destroyers? fubuki, shimakaze and fletcher/allen m. sumner, many dds. cruisers? same. you have direct control of planes, can change your units (you can choose to play a cv, or a dd, or a bb/cl/ca in the moment), can have a view inside your planes,, to be honest i love those two games

a question about WR (without divisions) how can you unicum cv players get 60%+ WR? i hunt dds too, (usually) i usually place air cover on my teammates... how can you all get such high WR in random mm?

also, i don't blame other cv players ^_^

I'd not call 60% unicum, I have it too in some CVs. And I'm not unicum by far, just a bit savvy. 
If you're > 70% then that starts to be unicum, 60% is just what chance you have to get team that are salvageable or not.

I am beginning to see what people are talking about now in my recent game with Kaga i destroyed a DD division two were low health but the third i spotted and got him destroyed all with one squadron of attack aircraft , It does seem the spotting mechanic is very flawed and needs to be taken away from CVs its to powerful.

 

On a sidenote this was in the first few mins of the game , Our team went on to steamroll the enemy only losing 1 ship and we gained all the caps and i got a pat on the back from a few players but it ruined the game.

This 230+ page discussion is part two in the series. So far we've had several people come in and state that they've mastered the magical counterplay to carriers, yet nobody ever actually has, so you will probably excuse us for not being overly impressed by that statement. I'm still willing to listen if you're willing to reveal how you counterplay them - after all, who knows if we've finally found someone who can.

 

My bingo sheet:

- Stay away from frontlines

- Hug friendly ships

- Waste every captain skill point, upgrade and consumable on AA

- Show broadside to 11 ships to dodge planes

- Make him lose a few planes when he kills you

- Make him waste time hunting you before he kills you

You forgot, get hit by a Thunderer, HE bombs or Conqeror salvo so all skills are completely waisted on broken AA.. Other then that the tactics seems legit

We all play wows because we like a naval themed arcade combat game. Cvs belong to be in such a game.

 

If WG replaced CV with airfields, inside of or outside of the map, how many players would notice a difference?

imagine thinking that now, (like we say in italian) aircrafts grew up on trees!

Current CV state is total garbage. AA is more like placebo. Playing DD in a CV game is useless because you cannot do the DD thing: spotting, capturing.

 

Some will say dogde: no you can't do it. Come on - make the AA effective again - or maybe limit the plane HP pool by half so the CV will have to think its move over. Currently i see Midway planes flying over squad of 2 AA cruisers with no losses doing their drop and returning mostly intact.

 

You can avoid other ships shooting at you but you cannot avoid CV attack...

[Lootboxer]

LOL.

I took my crate loot Orkan for a spin, had a fun with killing Ostergotland, then engaged Chung Mu and we were merrily shooting each other, having fun etc. and then our CVs decided to come and "help" us.

They really helped.

To carry us both back to the port

Yesterday I met a DD with AA enabled straight lining for a cap. I killed him with 3 strikes with the very first squadron I took off because he literally went straightb the whole time not even trying to dodge. 

Enemy team cursed me saying I ruined the game for him. Well...

They would just die a minute later either to

- Smoking in the cap, sitting broadside in one puff getting torped

or

- same as above but getting radared instead

Ah lucky you. 

 

I got two, a Halland and a Harugumo. They were torping our camper-BBs from behind an island (which the campers were hiding behind). 

They also had a HE-spam cruiser. Don't remember what one, I think Neptune. I managed to kill the cruiser, then the Harugumo. Almost Halland. 

Meanwhile my team tatered to death. Guess what, zero karma and got called mong and such. Duh.

Euuhh... oh wait. Neptune have no HE... LOL. 

 

Anyway it was spamming something, like lotsa dakka dakka.

i wasn't the subject of the spam so what it was, main thing is it had smoke. 

I remember it wasn't a Smolly. Also didn't last long that is why I do not recall..

Most I ever got was +5. Lasted 3 games before back to zero karma.

But I also play Smolensk....

Zero karma should force players into coop until they have positive :D

Zero karma is what you get anyway if you play the game. 
Plenty numbskulls reporting you for not doing what they want you to do. 

 

As in, DD go cap! yeah right in front of 2 radar-cruisers and no assistance.

I'm not. I play 30%BB, 30% CA, 30% CV and the rest DD. 

And I'm as potato as they come, play weekends too.

People tend to rather report, than to vote up.

People tend more to notice "missplays" or they look for misplays, than they look for good plays

If you play well, you may not get upvotes from your own team. 

But you'll sure get some downvotes from the reds. Enjoy the salt...

But getting salty reports is really common.

There are ways to get more upvotes. That includes: Never use chat. As soon yo usay something, taht someone dislikes, if true or not, they start down voting ;)

If someone writes in chat, how bad you are, and you explain "I did that, because enemy was at position x etc" ,then they down vote you

 

So yes, there are ways to get high karma. My Asashio gets always a lot karma, though when playing ranked, my karma goes down :D
