Imagine in Warthunder an isolated ship would get attacked by a squadron of 12 planes :O

I know, I play only japanese, and even those 800 kg bombs are often enough to destory or damage a BB heavily ^^

You just described the general state of this game 

Well, actually that depends. FDR would be the greatest farmer ever except when:

 

The enemy:

- sticks together in pairs/triplets, 

- actually avoids whatever you drop on them,

- or dies like flies to your teammates (gives them broadside all the time),

- or is constantly on fire et cetera, game ends in a 7 minute ROFLSTOMP.

...so you win and end up with 30K or so. No kills.

 

Your team:

- actually watches and after you set a fire/flood, when it gets DCPd they set 3 before you get any;

- does invade the caps and chases the enemy far far away where they cluster up behind an island;

- ...is soooo dumb the ROFLSTOMP happens indeed but in 7 minutes you lost and could not farm anything at all.

...so you lose and end up with 30K or so. No kills.

NOW you have the state of the game....

 

BEST game is of course when you find a Musashi that has found a nice parking beside an island. 

He is just not close enough so you can drop torps between him and the island. 

Your teammate in the cruiser has set a fire to him that he has DCP-d, and you get to set two perma on him. 

On the way out you find a DD in smoke that is shooting, so you also drop torps in smoke.... 

And then when that Musashi is about to die you find his divmate that has performed the same trick. 

Oh goodie

Fortunately I am seeing less and less CVs in randoms. 

Anybody else seeing the same?

Yes, correct and I definitely agree with you. This is a good sign of future buffs to increase their popularity.

Well I rarely play them anymore, because of above. Teams are getting so bad...

If you have a CV, it depends on long-term farming and when games end more and more in a ROFLSTOMP, it's just not worth it.

The only sin I commit is when it is especially bad I'll take FDR (or Ark Royal) and smack 'em for 80-100K before quitting to make some credits. 

 

Plus:

- re-grinded the US BBs twice (wanted Ohio);

- grinding the Italian BBs (and the French);

...doesn;t leave much time for CVs.

 

...but remember next CB is gonna be T6 with max 2x CV.

And totally balanzed glorious Motherland CV upcoming... oh goodie...

You mean WG will bring out the buff stick to keep CV popularity in desired range?

I'm good with that, pump them into above-OP-land and see how that works for player retention at low-mid levels. Give Hosho 4 torps pr drop and I'll become a CV main.

Is this sarcasm? Because we had that. Player numbers stayed healthy regardless though

Just let bring entire torpedo reserve and dump it at once

 

24TB torpedo run from Hakuryu at the same time, spread between planes probably would be so big this "buff" would be not only net nerf in terms of torpedoes on target, but also would slow down plane cycling considerably, also it would give opportunity to more... peculiar elements of the playerbase to lose entire TB wing at once due to random DFAA boosted flak wall.

They can reduce the spread anyways and have them drop all on top of eachothers. It will be grand.

And this is Wargaming you're talking about, you can't have REEEwork without shafting something or someone

Are we going to turn a blind eye to the omega fast progression WG is promoting? That's why there are bots, because players leave those tiers after very few battles

You mean for once you might bump into actually competent players?

Well, they MIGHT be competent, but it is after CB and usually they all have a beer to celebrate...

All I want to do after CBs is resist to eat my clan-mates

No harm, it is actually good fun. Since you were complaining about too many b0ts, thought I'd share.

After CB you meet the most funny people in low-tier randoms, usually. They will do idiot stuff too.

Like you'll get a game with 6 DDs each side, all in Smith or Tachibananana.

That's what they do, all hop in div in Tachibanana and click-in.

Alright, but I am more concerned about random battles. I don't play anything else lately and I can confirm games are better without CVs, you can really see who shines in each team.

Same as WoT, yet I wonder how much fun a newbie has when he skipped directly into tier 8 in his brand new amazing ship and meets some random CV player.. lets say someone called Yosha_nai, to be completely annihilated.

Of course if he spent €10+ on the game before leaving it, I suppose it's a win for WG.
