The risk is proportional to the typical reward. Which for a BB shooting at 20km is in the majority of cases nothing. For a CV meanwhile the typical reward is hilariously disproportionate to the risk. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SHAD] Miscommunication_dept Players 5,512 posts 24,441 battles Report post #9328 Posted July 26, 2021 Quick question: You are flying around and suddenly below you a Halland appear with DefAA firing. Do you: A) Press recall straight away or B) fly straight through, dodging flak while starting an attack run to take less damage then recall out of AA range. I've been doing B for a while but I saw someone do A the other day and he only lost one plane. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I use AP bombs it's usually instant recall if target is to far away. That way flak doesn't spawn on the way up causing most planes to survive. If target is nearby I just dodge and strike anyway. If target is to far away I slingshot. If He Bombers I strike the halland. Rockets it's usually instant recall depending on original target location. Torpedo bombers just heal through.

It depends on your ability to either disengage or engage the Halland as well as the overall match situation. Generally speaking though you should not get surprised by anything suddenly appearing in the first place via map awareness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm quite cautious if there is a Halland or Austin until I know where they are. Killed a Halland yesterday, always feels good as a (part time) CV player If you choose not to engage as they have appeared as you have cleared a mountain and are too close for attack, would recalling allow you to avoid all falk as you ascend directly above the Halland? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We can only hope at some point the worst AA on any tier X ship will be equivalent Halland. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because obviously rockets are dead after the rework and DDs can't be hit anymore. Also torps are so easy to dodge for DDs how are they ever going to die right? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spanking/clubbing tier 6 ships with 10 point captains if their lucky with noob/learning players in a broken class.

The problem would be fixed if more people played like that instead of whining about rockets being ineffective and just overall having no real grasp of CV gameplay. its not as easy as people make it, if it were CVs would be more popular. They are dying out right now though and one can still clap t6 for 7 - 8 kills more regularly than it should be allowed 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
