Same about the bombs. It drops 6, in two rows - and that's a potential 20K on a cruiser. IF you hit... 

I found I can even miss a parked Stalingrad... perfectly zoomed-in, lengthwise, perfect drop... 2 hits... LOLLLLL. 

Welcome to the club, here take off your coat and pass it to Hermes while Implacable get's the door for you and Furious hands you a beverage of your choosing.

 

For tonight's entertainment, Audacious at 10 will be reciting her latest poem "Ode to a dead fish" which sums up her anguish over the ecological damage her level bombers do to random sea creatures thanks to the hilarious bombing area ensuring more bombs impact the ocean than the targeted vessel.

 

British CV's feel your pain :(

 

WarGambling - "British bombers carry a lot of medium-caliber HE bombs and attack their enemies using a level-bombing tactic. In a well-performed approach to a target, these aircraft can deal more damage than bombers of other nations." 

"VI Furious carries bombers armed with bombs of a larger caliber, the armor-penetrating capability of which is just enough to deal significant damage to battleships." (I mean, if those are tier 4 BB's then maybe once in a blue moon when the planets align)

"VIII Implacable's bombers, similarly to those of VI Furious, are armed with 250 lb bombs, but have the difference of carrying a greater number of them in their payload. The striking power of these aircraft is comparable with the firepower of VIII Lexington’s bombers, "

 

Reality:

 

and when you do hit a BB

 

 

Edit: Only 199 pages to go before we re hit 500 \o/

But can we do it before Submarines infest the servers?

You forgot Ark Royal, but really - you can always try again. 

The advantage (but broken AF) of a CV is that you do not get shot at. 

Well, usually. Until your tater team lets a DD through, then you are usually screwed.

I tend to find Ark Royal's LB's kinda works when compared to her silver tech tree counterparts, mostly due to the sheer number of bombs she drops over a rather small area which allows you to land 5 - 8 on a DD who isn't paying attention or even smash the fragile super structure of BB's with lots and lots of bombs.

 

Don't get me wrong, she too causes sooo much ecological damage per bombing run (poor fish ) but al least she mostly hits the target.

Yeah that's the trick, sort of - you take twice the time to get there, so you must do twice the damage. 

Or at least do damage, unlike the others. I don't think they are bad though. 

But it always amazes me how many a straightlining taters they find in those YouTube vids.

dunno how those guys do it on Youtube

 

"How to get a Best Of YouTube Video 101 - only use replays of battles which show what You want them to show"

 

And from a CV potato - me - standpoint: RN Bombs > US HE Bombs > IJN AP Bombs >>>>> KM AP Bombs as with the "Area Bombs" I can achieve at least some hits. I'm THAT bad with bombs, that I prefer torpedoes in about every situation, except maybe for when going after DDs.

Of course my expectations for "Damage done" for a battle are probably atlast 50% lower than of other CV players posting here.

Nope. You only use replays of battles that show them what they want to see

In the next update i saw that Loewenhardt bombers has changed similar like the bombers of GZ, this means that finally Stukas got Jericho or only change something in the attack animation?

Reading it I believe it's Stukas get Jericho horn (finally)

 

Credit where credit is due, well done WarGaming, you finally got there!

FDR is the weakest CV you know, just going to drop that in here, it has zero real game impact and can only farm, DDs and cruisers can even dodge it.

...I've even been dodged by a BB. French BBs... I'm not even gonna try to kill them anymore.

Unfortunately the Fighter Improvements  wasn’t picked up all too enthusiastically  by WG but who knows - maybe it does something in their brains.

 

Anyway - there is another topic I am curious about. Currently spotting is very simplistic and binary in the game - leading to the known situation that a fast unit such as a plane can easily spot a large area in a short time. And I know lots has been discussed on that matter. 
 

But regardless - I would like to discuss whether the addition of “clouds” would improve the game or not. 
 

What I have in my mind would be a varying degree of clouds obstructing the line of sight from the air. Clouds could work similar to smaller smokescreens which only impact the line of sight between air and sea.
 

What I would picture is make spotting from the air less binary. You would lose sight due to clouds and likewise the AA loses contact. Depending on the amount of clouds ships could potentially even hide behind these for a short while and such. I wouldn’t go as far as overcast 8/8 clouds but have some scattered and moving around on the map. 
 

What do the other think about this in general as a potential gameplay element?

I believe that hope to be in vain given the relationship between WG and community feedback especially in regards to CVs.

Sounds fairly interesting actually.

Could be visually weird though given the fairly low altitude most planes fly at.

Seen a few around that had it but alas, as I can also see where they went, they are not very useful.

Sure he can protect one teammate, but if it is (one of) my last squads he'll get whacked anyway. 

And if not, I'll just farm some of his other buddies.

They would have to adjust the height planes fly at for it too work properly and allow for the w and s keys to move up and down.

Although that would add a further skill barrier to CV's and make them harder for smeggies to play with them.

True - although if the clouds are displayed rather light and more in a shade of translucent/transparent it may look quite good. 
 

I could add an element of randomness and would not interfere with surface spotting

Sorry what I meant was not the skill rework - these air superiority skills are pretty useless - what I meant was this:

I don’t necessarily agree on that. Have you been on a small plane before? Clouds can be really low and if would look amazing likely. Adding height control is probably far beyond what WG is willing to do. 
 

The clouds though could - and that is what I would like to discuss - be something which helps

The thing is with weegee planus, most of them are like 200 feet from the surface if that, so too low for consistent cloud cover.

I think spoofing and generating false signals would be better.

 

Plus jamming planus so they can't relay the positions of enemy ships back to the carrier to the team.

Would be actually funny to implement clouds, which act like islands but for/against planes
