Hey, for those interested in making credits, your best bet is a tier 8 premium cv. Forget about missoury (not that it matters anymore) or the t8s with Kobayashi kamo. 

Start with a Kaga or Hornet as they are they are beginner friendly, reach expert and get a saipan or aquila.  

 

EDIT: The russian submarine s-189 is a very good choice too, low maintenance, can still do well uptier.

High game impact and high damage output results in more victories and more credits. Most CVs can do this pretty good and have less maintenance cost in general, even though downed planes count as credit/armament loss now. The crucial part is flags, which most CVs dont really need. No deto, fire/flood protecc, healing or consumable flag, just slap on the flooding chance and for tryharding the more expensive firechance.

 

I use the blue boosters (T3) on most of my T8 prem CVs and paired with premium time the average game yields around 1 million plus.

I find gold tier 9s do better, but that's partly as you die faster than a CV so get back into a game quicker even if the credits per game is about the same.  I find I make about 400k per game with the enty, but about 350-700 with a JB or mushy, i suspect the kearsarge is similar.

I play on INDOMITABLE, use blue boosters, rarely red when special promotions.
 

On average, for 10 battles, you can easily forage a little over 20 million credits.

Why do i feel that this video was not the smartest idea? When people complain about carriers, even in a more direct way, it feels justified for me, because of the current state of carriers. But Trenlass, usually doesnt complain, he acts like a crybaby when it comes to carriers, it is quite easy to trigger him and cause a reaction, especially on stream. A video like this, looks like an invite for a little toxic answer. Lets hope the CVscum doesnt return the favour.

It's basically copium.

 

You hate CV ? Good, you'll be more happy if you finally kill one.

Yesterday was in game where a Königsberg got detonated by the CV one minute into the game. Cannot help but feel sorry for them. Some might say "It could just as well have been detonated by a BB". Technically yes, but a BB has to fire at 20 km or more to hit an enemy ship one minute into the game, giving them plenty of time to avoid the salvo. Against a CV it's "just dodge", giving that it can attack you from point blank range almost immediately after the start of the game. How about a preparation time at the beginning of the match before a CV can launch planes or something? I mean, everyone has to load their guns and torpedoes, CVs don't have to load anything. Even back in RTS CV times, squadrons had preparation times.

bbs can detonate other ship in first minute with ease.....on tx most bbs have over 25 km range and detonation is just random piece of unluck

Got Slava last weekend and in my second game, I detonated right at the Beginning from a Malta torpedo having 70k health left. :fish_glass:

If only there were something to put on your ship to prevent detonations...

Because everyone has the funds to get enough detonation flags to stick them on every ship all the time, like tier 5 cruisers). You might have enough of them to do that, but not everyone does, especially relatively new players.

People that don't want to get detonated while not wasting flags. The rest come crying on the forums instead.

I doubt anyone runs it, but you have to admit, detonations is a really crappy mechanic, i can understand peoples frustrations.

I use them on everything aside from DDs. So I know that they work. But yes detonations are sheet.

Please pro players, explain what I did wrong (apart from hitting "Battle"):

 

Playing Missouri, Nakhimov attacks with rocket planes from my side (can't turn fast enough to not get hit from side, nevermind doing so exposes me to all his pals). 25k damage from one strike.

Same Nakhimov attacks me again with rocket planes. I sigh from relief since this time he attacks from behind. 14k damage.

 

In between those, he attacked me with skip bombers but this time I must have played it right since he only did 8,6k.

 

Clearly he was unicum, no way an average player can do this right? And clearly I don't know how to play against CVs in BBs so please help me get better.

 

At least I made him pay heavily by shooting down 8 planes.

Sounds more like he forgot to take a double whiff of copium.

I genuinely offer help but I guess you don't need it 

No I don't, just needed to vent my frustration to this idiocy. Besides don't have a replay. But do you really think a BB can do anything against a RU CV? Or any other CV for that matter.
