Camperdown Players 2,501 posts 17,258 battles Report post #1 Posted January 5, 2021 There's been a lot of talk about the CV problem., including the elitist "plebs need not contribute" thread going on right now. So, as I am a mere 52% WR mortal, I have to make this is seperate thread. Is it still possible to play DDs today? I say yes. Attached, exhibit A: a 4 CV T8 game where I sank the radar DD Orkan as well as one of the opposing CVs, shooting down 20 planes in the process. Yes, I died in the end (last to survive) because my team melted. No, the red CVs were not unicums. Yes, this is a good game, and sometimes things don't go quite as well. But a well played DD (driven by a non-Unicum player ) can do well in the face of CVs and radar. 20210105_122300_PBSD108-Lightning_42_Neighbors.wowsreplay 7 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[THIR] Stormhawk_V Players 1,034 posts 4,895 battles Report post #3 Posted January 5, 2021 Do you really want to showcase a match where you got sunk by a CV that has no HE armaments and lost to prove that DDs are still viable? The only reason why DDs are not completely dead (yet) is that CV players are awful on average. The class is called airborne wheelchair for a reason. 7 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[NMA] Prophecy82 Players 3,362 posts 26,028 battles Report post #10 Posted January 5, 2021 Im a mere mortal scrublord in a heal-Kiew (stats attatched). Yet a Midway whacked me pretty much in spawn, while I had no chance to do any dmg at all (replay attached). The point is: Skillgap between CVs hasnt much changed between pre- and rework. The bad are a nuisance while the good might be even a bit stronger then before due to plane regeneration. Also, its not about (un-)playability of a class, its about CVs breaking the spotting mechanic and not risking their hull (which is borderline OP at T10 too) at all while doing dmg. 20210102_223909_PRSD308-Pr-48_37_Ridge.wowsreplay So, where dear OP, is your point?

[SOTE] DinkyDi Beta Tester 220 posts 2,722 battles Report post #11 Posted January 5, 2021 I dont have problem if CV bombing me, when I am only ship alone somewhere. Thats the point of CV. I have problem, if CV can drop accurate bombs while 3 other BBs with good AA are shooting at planes. Or I have problem, when I have selected reinforced AA side, poped up AA defense and yet, I still getting blasted twice by CV. And CV dont even care about my AA defense. ______________ my WR is 48% it went up from 39% in past month, but I hope, that I am qualified to comment here :D 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In all honesty though nice one in that match, shame it wasn't a win.

[RODS] Ronchabale Players 3,002 posts 10,002 battles Report post #14 Posted January 5, 2021 7k battles 52% so I am legit I don´t play CV:s To me, CV damage is ok, could even be higher if someone misplayed badly and needed punishing, to me that is not the problem Big issue is the map size CV:s can reach any corner of the map in a matter of seconds and provide spotting, focus fire and direct damage (with no consequence to their own health pool) Would be nice if good AA meant some sort of denial but no, that would mean CV players would need to have real skill WG have tried to fit in CV:S in pint size maps, bit like formula 1 racing on an indoors go-cart track (It just doesn´t work) That is my tuppence and so I don´t play CV:s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
batch1 Players 140 posts 14,442 battles Report post #15 Posted January 5, 2021 There needs to be a limit on distance from CV planes can fly. Shells have a max distance so should planes....want to fly your planes further then you need to risk your hulls paint job. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[I-J-N] Karasu_Browarszky [I-J-N] Players 13,025 posts Report post #16 Posted January 5, 2021 Finally an inclusive thread! As a pleb, here's my general two cents on the subjects. I don't mind the CV's per se (useful expression please learn it), they have a place in the high tier battles if we remember how WW2 used to have 'carrier battles'. Conversely, they should be severely limited in the lower tier battles. I understand it's difficult to balance something potentially so powerful, because the game needs to stay playable and worthwhile not only for the non-CV ships and the CV's themselves. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[-OOF-] Miscommunication Players 550 posts 6,680 battles Report post #17 Posted January 5, 2021 The conclusion I drew from this is that Lightning needs nerfed, then.

[YEET] COPlUM Players 3,009 posts 12,083 battles Report post #18 Posted January 5, 2021 How about at least start with corrections so that truly unplayable games no longer exist. You ever play a T6 DD as the only DD in a match with a T6 and a T8 CV on both teams? You basically spawn dead, your ship might as well self-detonate in spawn. I don't care who you are or who your opinions are. The best Fubuki player ever will die when he's the only DD facing an above average ryujo and kaga. Or how about my 5 o clock in the morning game last week, matchmaker gave me a 6v6 : 2 CVs and 4 DDs on both teams. I was one of the DDs, I killed all four enemy DDs in five minutes. My mission then was beating two carriers in a DD, that's not even theoretically possible. I tried sailing into my own torpedoes but quickly found the math isn't quite there to do this. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
