When there is an FDR... It's worth it to follow him around because not only will he get super salty but it's just fun to bully them. 

Had one of those... found his CV... dropped spotters on him...

5 minutes later he was dead, I farmed on as usual. :Smile_trollface:

So WG when are you actually going to fix CVs or at least fix AA so that it is effective, time after time i shoot down planes in a formation to still get 4 torps fired at me due to a. size of the attacking wing or b. due to the fact that AA is ineffective since you nerfed and destroyed it ages ago.

 

Dont worry about improving what the islands look like, just concentrate on fixing the actual gameplay issues, fix the bugs, balance the ships (including premiums) because after tha Captain rework that has provided us with a real nightmare of a game now with OPed skills and useless skills its about time the Cvs were sorted.

The real pain is that there are enough people who would really appreciated getting utterly idiotic OP CVs - russian or not - because reasons.

And most of them would still ending up with potatoish stats in them..

Never going to happen sadly. Only CV's are allowed to have fun, the 22 other ships in a match are just there to be farmed and preferably they should shut up and like it.

 

Or they can do what I do, go play Hitman... that's a fun game. :Smile_veryhappy:

Yea true or just go play WarThunder with better graphics, realistic gameplay and something that WG have lost over past few years which is FUN.

 

The gunboats and battles in them with aircraft buzzing about is bloody hilarious.

I remember that video, knew it was fake the second he started listing the fleet specifications over radio... Like why would he be doing that lol makes no sense. Imagine if it were real tho that'd be pretty funny.

I also got told, that a nautic rule is, that the bigger ship has to turn ^^

I heared that in a radio, and the story was slightly changed, and I just don't like it, that they "sell" it as true.

I just read the wiki page for Sanzang, and it seems like it's the exact copy of Saipan, down to the most minute details, can anyone confirm? 

 

I pride myself in owning all the CVs I can, but I am not willing to pay for Painpan with a bad reskin...

Yes, the color is different. WG had become quite lazy lately, before it would make some minor tweak. 

I pride myself in playing my CVs (including the famous Enterprise) ramming mode only in coop to get the yearly snowflakes. Because of Santa crates I ended up owning amost all premium CVs. 

Even with the latest added crap, CV rework is still the crap champion.

Oh sure it is, give me my RTS back. I loved that playstyle... Strafing the enemy Haku fresh out of all her planes... Ahh the glory...

The universal nautical rule indicates that If two ships route are on collision, the one on the starboard side has the way... 

Spoken as a sailor and a son of an oil tanker captain :)

I don't appreciate this. I got killed in a ranked game because someone blocked my CV in spawn. You can hate CVs all you want but to think that throwing a game like that is ok.

Spreadsheet.

 

Because Audacious just like Manfred. Is Great at useless Damage Farming.

But useles Damage Farming according to WGs Spreadsheet is unfortunately the Top Ability determining how Strong a Ship is.

As such Auda and Manfred are Clearly Super Strong Ships in WGs Eyes.

I have a much better idea. You see a while ago on the official discord sehales promised to wear a maid outfit if someone bought an expensive enough one for him. We can threaten to go through with it!

This again just so WG can claim that CV complaints are down, huh?

Or at least that's what WG CMs tried to tell me on the NA forums some time ago. Weirdly enough they had no answer to me pointing out that threads about CVs were being actively locked and removed due to the existence of a unified CV thread.

 

Anyway, CVs are broken due to their fundamental concept being purely centered around damage dealing to other classes, something that is utterly toxic in what is supposed to be a teambased game. Counterplay against them must not exist as it would deny their sole purpose and make them useless. They must also not interact with each other for the very same reason.

 

Likewise the rework has achieved none of its original set goals while leaving existing issues as is or making them worse while adding new ones on top.

 

Even in terms of technical execution the rework is a complete disaster on par with, if not worse than its predecessor being riddled with countless, sometimes even gamebreaking bugs.

 

Thus there is no real solution but to scrap the rework and start anew.

Something that ofc WG will never do as they're mired deep in sunk cost fallacy as the development history of the rework more than proves. And with subs on the horizon, once again limiting the amount of the already pathetic AA on the field, things can only get worse from here.

 

The Funny part before WG made CV a adition to game they could have looked at Real Life Navy's all over the World. You will there find a really interesting thing, They stopped Developing Battleships after they Build Cv becourse they got obsulete. All development since has been into massive AA control Heavy Cruisers with high speed and AA that could flatten a small country pr. ship, and further up the road they went to missile cruiser becourse off Distance issues.

Audacious isn't even good at dealing useless damage, the bombs lots of times don't trigger fires and have low penetration, the torps on average give a flooding every 6 hits and the rockets are terribly inaccurate, barely have enough fire chance and no penetration. MvR at least did the damage farmer thing well, Audacious is simply aa liability for your team unless it is facing itself.
