Limit carriers

[plain_average]

Hi,

 

How about a novel idea and make sure that carriers _NEVER_ fight ships of lower tiers, since they usually are woefully inadequate to protect from them.

 

Example, when playing a tier 3 ships without any AA to speak of and getting to fight a tier 4 carrier - or even as a tier 6 cruiser without the "Defensive AA Fire" that gets to fight tier 8 carriers and just get raped because of what appears as infinite (I know they are not infinite) planes.

 

Carriers fighting lower tier ships are so horribly OP against them. Back in the day ships could move to prevent being hit by bombers etc, but today its almost impossible - or requires insane skill to navigate so a carrier pilot do not hit you two or three times in row with bombs and when you are a lower tier, that is many times enough to just take your ship out, which gives a very bad play experience.

They should get a special gamemode, where they fight other CVs exclusively.

I disagree - carriers make ships move, otherwise BB's would just park their ship somewhere nice and never move.

So moving does protect a BB from getting struck by planes? I disagree.

There should be a limit of 1 CV per team at T4.

From torps yes, if you are aware of what is happening around you.

Maybe you are playing another game than me, but in my game torps are much faster than a BB, which has the added impediment to accelerate/decelerate and turn like a brick, so all but the most imbecile CV afficionado can torp a BB with closed eyes.

Better: Let them start at T6, like subs. So we can play T1-T4 with actual joy.

True, but if you turn when the torps are in the water you are doing it wrong. You turn towards the planes or away from the planes so you make yourself the smallest possible target. So moving have an effect on torps - not so much on bombs/rockets.

[gabberworld]

does this game even have carriers? seeing them in battle is kind off rare

Another stupid CV post ....CVs are OP 1v1 ...but they are ...Only in 85% of games we play ....and only make up 8% of the team ..4% of the time they can make 16% of the team                 

SO please use your brain when posting ..

It would be  quite easy to fix it.

1 x CV x Team 

give all low tiers some AA even a small one would be better than ZERO 

increase the time necessary to rebuild planes,

 

But of course the Devs are busy with the release of the new premiums ...  more fantasy almost/porn female captains etc etc

The OP has very few battles. You should be more polite in your answer,

And you present the largest possible broadside target to everybody else, if the CV player has a bit situational awareness.

Play T4, please, and readjust that estimation.

If you mean "move away from objectives and into groups of ships at max range from each other" then: yes, youre right.

I'm not a polite person .. So you have no need to tell me how to be

And 1600 battles is plenty ..

I'm taking in to account all tier's ....looking at just one tier would give different results  ..but that was not what the OP was saying ..And to be honest T4 CVs are so Crap that i don't need AA ..

I was watching a streamer last week (NOT Flambass!!) who suggested a minimum of 2 CVs per team in each match.....

There should be a limit of 1 CV per team at all tiers.

 

Well, personally I'm at the stage where I just backed the suggestion from Captain @Tanaka_15 in post #2 above, of imposing a zero (0) CV limit, but I somehow doubt that WG will go for that option. So if Santa turns up with a 1 CV limit, hey, I'll take it!

And the beauty of this is that since CV:s can't fight other CV:s effectively (despite the misleading in-game ship description that says otherwise), they will remain stuck in that special game mode for a loooong time. I'm sure they will have lots to talk about!

I think 3 is the perfect number
