[VPM] OldSchoolFrankie [VPM] Players 989 posts 20,632 battles Report post #8 Posted April 1, 2022 April Fool's Prank..? I hope not and it would be the right decision because implementing it with the skills would break the game a lot, not that there is much left to break. Imagine if they would listen to the community more often, they would recommend the game again and spend money on it, but it probably won't come to that. Anyway, a small step in the right direction. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[R7S] lovelacebeer Players 4,158 posts 25,226 battles Report post #19 Posted April 1, 2022 If it’s true WG has actually dropped this truly appalling idea I am both impressed and stunned. I really hope WG just forgot it was April fools and that’s partly why we are so skeptical if they are telling the truth (the other reason is experience). 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[TSSU] Chips_uk Players 290 posts Report post #20 Posted April 1, 2022 I mean... the entire premise was [edited]nuts to start, so I don't hold out hope it won't still be fubar. The main purpose of these new squadrons in the initial concept was to help allies damage enemy ships with fires and floods, as well as to block enemy consumable uses. Yes, because doing dmg with fires in this game was bloody difficult... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SodaBubbles Players 1,553 posts 1,028 battles Report post #21 Posted April 1, 2022 It's insane that they understand so little that they had to actually test that stuff. Whereas every player seeing the proposal knew instantly what a stupid idea it was. Still, outbreaks of sanity like this must be supported. Good job devs. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[TOXIC] ThePurpleSmurf Players 2,554 posts Report post #23 Posted April 2, 2022 Why are they so fixated on support CV in terms of helping to deal more damage? Why not something to support the team in terms of defense and survivability? Drop heal bombs on low HP allies -or- drop beacons to detect torps in a sector for a certain amount of time -or- drop beacons to reveal subs for a short amount of time -or- drop short duration smoke bombs on allied ships to save their bacon. Stuff like this. Like real support for the team. People would hate way less on CVs if they did something for the team instead to make the enemy team feel helpless - which is the main reason why people hate CV in first place. Actually, most people would probably be happy to see a CV on their team for a change, knowing that they are there to support and buff the team. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, most people would probably be happy to see a CV on their team for a change, knowing that they are there to support and buff the team. Probably, they're looking for a way to integrate the class into the existing XP system, with a damage helper that's relatively simple, with a spotter/healer I should imagine it's much harder to measure the impact of the player on the game, and thus calculate the rewards. Personally, I think the entire support CV concept is flawed and doesn't fit into the game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
