Poll about CB season 9

[Verblonde]

For the most part, I'm actually quite enjoying this season, with a couple of enormous caveats:

• I don't think anyone in 'my' clan would disagree when I say we aren't very good overall (we have a few good players, but most of us are average at best); this means we basically never face good CV players, so we rarely see our games entirely ruined by CVs.
• Another corollary of being in lower leagues is that often our opposition don't have a CV available to them, so we don't get hit by planes every battle.
• I've been playing Halland (BFT captain), so I'm as CV-resistant as a DD main can be; shredding entire wings of less-than-competent CV's planes is hilarious. I'm a bad person.
• All the radar that's been around matters a lot less if you're driving something that's (allegedly) balanced around not having smoke.
• As a DD main, I essentially have two viable DD choices - Halland and Groz; this isn't great for variety.

For completeness, we've been playing the BB option, as we haven't had anyone with a T10 CV available.

I would also like to try T9 cbs but there are no CVs at T9 and seems like this is what WG is desperately want to introduce to cbs. They can't release new T10 premium CV if players can't use it in competitive mode.  

But they can and it would be so WG to push 2 new premium TX CVs and then after those that want them would part with money exclude CVs from competetive

This is probably the reason WG will use when the seasons ends to say "See? Everything is fine! Lots of different ships were used during the season."

The playerbase consists out of 90% casual players who play 50/50 CV/BB comps and whatever they can scramble for a clanbattle session. The competetive scene (10%? 5%? of the active playerbase) being dominated by stalingrad/venezia/hakuryu is just a slight shift of the total numbers.

The truly scary thing about this season of CB is that WG will look at this and say hmm no one took midway or audacious vs haku clearly we need to buff those 2 and that will [edited]random even more than it is now

Would you say its fun playing a BB setup against CV setup? I personaly cant see it, since its constant harassment/spotting and almost a guaranteed loss.

Well imagine the shock;. We also did a 6 DM, too. And we even won one. 

Depends on the CV player really if you win, and the amount of push. 

If you manage to push quickly then you can make it. Hey we're not in Storm...
