Never happened to me. You must do something different.

 

And taking a more indirect route as a DD is a good protection vs early rocket attacks.

you write as if the maps were big. 2 CV sweep the relevant part of the map in the first 2 minutes. Nothing can hide there.

Then why do I do it regularly?

Start to change course as soon planes are spotted near your cap. When you are not going straight for the cap, there is a good chance to evade detection.

regularly, you mean once in every 3 or 4 battles with 2 CV?

"good chance" is that around 25% ?

Hard to say since I rarely encounter two CV.

Could be close to 50%.

ah then of course I understand your statement.

I would like to have preferential matchmaking too.

Play Tier VIII+, you rarely see two CV. And when you are Tier VIII and see two Tier VI CV, it is ok.

I still have many battles to play at tiers 4 - 7.

 

And for what I have seen so far, I'm not particularly thrilled with most tier 8+ battles, as soon as tier 10 ships are present, it turns into a campfest.

That is true.

You guys must be having severe bad luck. I play CV, and I end up in a double-CV game maybe 1 out of 50. 

And when I do, usually it is me in T6 CV ending up in a T8 game with a T8 CV. 

Which is crud, but the even more crud is that I'll often do better than the T8... 

But well, that's WG MM for ya, and it is bad for everyone it seems. 

 

BTW I often team up with a DD, and he has no problem surviving to the last... some tips:

- Turn off the AA when not spotted by CV, then he has to come ~2.5km from you to spot;

- Yeah sure he will attack... but he can not do it RIGHT AWAY. 

- He must turn to engage rockets. He turns? NOW you turn on the AA, and smoke up (if you can).

- Of course you change direction... and then he has to find you again. 

 

Lately I have met lots of good DD players. They can be a nuisance, and sometimes they even manage to kill my CV.

Or it takes me at least 5 (or more...) attacks to finally get them. Takes me more time to kill them than when I play BB or CL. 

And yes CV requires different defence/measures.

 

I often see DDs whining though when they have their AA on (so It spot them from 5-7km or whatever their AA reaches).

And then they smoke up, but they go too fast (and run out of their smoke) or stuff like that.

And then I torpedo them... because they think they can't be hit by CV-torps, somehow.

 

Not saying you're one of those. And absolutely, the Reeeework is crud in many many ways. 

However, most DD-players just refuse to adapt, same as other-ship-players. And that is not the CVs fault.

One example, BBs/CLs crying "CV spot-kill that DD", yeah right. Like the CV always can or wants to. 

I've even caught them they cry the above, when they play BB/CL and next game they play DD and the CV is sky-c@ncer.

I know i not best player but ffs this what is going now in your game is beyond any [edited].

I get the annoyance with CVs, but you are seriously complaining about four DDs when there are five BBs nearly every game? Such hypocrisy.
