Out of curiosity, what is your Midway build? 

here it is:
https://wowsft.com/ship?index=PASA110&modules=13221&upgrades=124414&commander=PAW102&skills=889098&consumables=11&pos=0

Halsey is the only unique US commander that I have right now. I also just prefer the TTs on the midway even after the nerf.

edit: what prompted you to ask and what is your build like on the midway?

A clanmates saying based on a statement of you about griefing players by playing CV that us two could become good buddies. I was sceptical and wanted to see if you have DE skilled. And you don't so you aren't disappointing. 

 

Your build is alright for a high dpm max. dmg focused midway. I disagree with air supremacy but it's just a 1 point skill so not dramatic.

I still prefer it as well. 

I don't like HVAR. 

 

Your Midway build is identical to mine, including modules. But since I use Ovechkin on both Midway and FDR I have flak reduction instead of bomber speed. 

 

I really liked more bomber speed, it makes Midway feel extra good. Regretful but alas, this is how I have it for now.

Close.

For a Standard Midway Build I would go with this.

 

https://wowsft.com/ship?index=PASA110&modules=13221&upgrades=122414&commander=PCW001&skills=901386&consumables=11&pos=0

 

Unlike Yosha I would still take the Improved Fire Chance instead of the Improved Sight Stabilization.

 

 

 

Then again. Given that I absolutely Love Playing Memes (as Demonstrated by the Fact that I am using a Full Secondary Build for Graf Zeppelin) I am currently more Inclined to use a Fighter Build for Midway.

it's better than torp speed as torp speed also increases arming distance getting the same outcome. 

 

torpedo bomber attack time let's you set up 90° drops even with Midway (yes they are possible) and therefore a very valuable tool. 

 

 

Also Sunleader calls midway fighter build a possible meme. I call it upcoming meta 

This fighter build retains the same Midway effectiveness as she was before cpt rework while giving a massive edge in match influence against CV players especially FDR

US Torpedo Bombers are Pretty Bad. And take very Long to get a Solid Spread.

The Longer Attack Time Allows me to Start the Attack Run earlier and thus Fly under Flak for Longer while also Improving the Spread due to the Spread having more Time to Close.

 

Compared to that. Midway has 35 Knot Torps. 5% on top of that is 1.75 Knots or something. So barely noticable Change. And that Change on top is added atop the Arming Distance.

Which means the Torps are still not good enough to Catch faster Targets and you actually Lose a Tiny bit of ability to Drop them Close.

So I just dont consider that useful.

 

On the Rockets meanwhile I generally Try to Start short before the Drop. Because the Rockets tend to Fly right in Flak Alt when Aiming. So I dont have any use for additional Aiming Time here.

 

 

Hence. Torpedo Aim Time just ends up the Choice.

Pls Note tough. I consider this Module mostly Irrelevant.

On other CVs including Haku. I actually go with the Secondary Upgrade Module instead. To get some Extra Range and Accuracy against Rushing DDs.

Thats how little Value I give to the Plane Upgrades on that Slot.

 

Thats just me tough. I am not exactly one to ask for Meta Builds.

Reason I am not sure it will be Meta. Is because as I said before. In Randoms the Average Enemy CV you Encounter. Is not a Player whose Planes will manage to Survive long enough for fighters to have much Effekt on him.

Because he is already too busy Flying into Flak by himself.

 

Pls Note. As Always. This is an Assessment on Randoms. Not Clanbattles.

I do think it could be a Meta in Clanbattles. But I havnt touched these forever. So.....

I don't like torpedo bomber attack time in Midway but in FDR it's very useful.

You have to go training room with Midway and kill him in Smaland within 2 mins first.

I just use it in randoms to get familiar with fighter plane behavior and to make good CV players cry because they neither know how to deal with it nor expect this build.

It's not about running away. It will be ocean armor testing mode.

I'm not being serious, so don't worry about it.

Occasionally we do a room if he wants to test something or such. 

 

That time, the objective was not for him to run but to survive as long as possible or until I got deplaned. I got him in 2 mins, but he didn't know that I was familiar with techniques. 

Next round he kept further away and knew that I knew how to kill him efficiently, so he played with that in mind and I was eventually(effectively) deplaned without being able to kill him.

I hate HVAR.

I used Tiny Tims in both rounds.

 

And he used a full AA build with AA mount HP. IIRC I knocked out only one near the end.

there's no way you're being serious with this build. direction control center for fighters? Nice troll.
