[BRBSA] Dbars_eu Beta Tester 310 posts 4,027 battles Report post #1 Posted July 25, 2015 We all know by now that the t5-t8 IJN CV will be nerfed again. So for someone looking to get in CV shouldnt waste their time lvling IJN CV just to have them nerfed to the ground again. The way wging will nerf them would be to just remove a torp or bomber squad and add a fighter to the load outs. But we all know US CV fighters destroy ijn fighters. I dont see how basically removing strike load outs help the ijn cv. WGing needs to take other steps to fix CV besides just adding fighters to their load outs...

Ishiro32 Alpha Tester 2,303 posts 1,149 battles Report post #4 Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) I would assume IJN nerf will come with the fighter rebalance which is planned I think for 0.4.1? Wait and see. If after fighter rebalance and IJN loadout nerf there will be some issues, then rise concerns. Right now it's pointless as we do not know any details.

[GARTH] CherryWood Beta Tester 137 posts 17,196 battles Report post #5 Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) Well, replacing torpedo planes with useless INJ fighters would be a rather heavy nerf indeed, thats for sure. But I can't disagree that INJ strike setups are overperforming at lower tiers, they do need a bit of nerfing, but I really hope this could be done in some less direct way or together with some rebalancing in other areas at least.

Also IJN is undeniably outperforming US Cvs, so there needs to be balance. Unfortunately its true. The problem is that not many people are playing CV's at the moment, the match maker is filled with cruisers and battleships. IJN CV's did not come up as much in the MM recently maybe people saw they are getting nerfed and ditched them, although that is a random guess as i have already done that. I have sold all my IJN carriers now after hearing about the nerf and will only grind the US ones as i was already quite medicore in the IJN carrier line .

By the time one DB makes an attack , two IJN would do that and let's not forget the rearming time. IJN can zerg a target, US cannot. IJN 8500 Per fish max damage is 170,000 on a average well aimed strike single squadron. using proposed double squardon tactics thats 340,000 max damage (roughly) USN 8000 Per fish max damage is 420,000 on a average SINGLE well aimed strike like I said, nerf the USN torps to IJN Dive bomber average or a little stronger and buff the dive omber strikes to mirror the max potential damage of a torpedo strike. IJN 8500 max damage Torpedoes (high to medium chance of flooding) countered by 4500 max damage Bombs [medium chance of causing fires and secondary damage, low chance of penetraiting and citadel hits) Usn 4000 max damage Torpedoes (medium to low chances of flooding) countered by 8000 max damage bombs (medium to high chance of pentrating and citadel hits, medium chance of fires and secondary damge) (500 less max damage per weapon imposed dure to squardon sizes) Edited July 25, 2015 by AegeanGhost 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[OCTO] Broevaharo Alpha Tester 726 posts 50,425 battles Report post #13 Posted July 25, 2015 The full strike IJN setups on tier 5 to 8 were just too powerful so it's good to nerf them, as much as I like playing CV's, nuking half the other team out of the water without them having a fighting chance becomes boring after a while. Sure it also has to do with newbies sailing in straight lines but if you see a BB and you send in 3 TB + 2 or 3 DB on him he is out, it's as simple as that.

Even with IJN DDs that rules T4-5, you are crap. Yet, you score far better score wiuth CVs. And you say that CVs do not need nerf? Lol? The general higher average EXP on CV dont relates directly to the damage of a single strike. Its because a CV usally dont risk his ship and has the opertunity to do high damage over time. The longer the games drags on the higher the chance to do damage. Take a look at my profile: http://worldofwarships.eu/de/community/accounts/508703984-Spellfire40/#tab=pvp/account-tab-ships-pvp My best CVs are: Ryujo With Strike deck at 2129 average Exp Hiruyu with Balanced Deck: 2066 average Exp My best non CV shops are Murmansk and Omaha with around 1800 average exp (not as high games played thogh and of course lower level. but exp wise its not that much worse) CV performance drops of past level 6 when AA gets better a reason why so many cry for a (undeserved in my opinion) AA nerf. I think AA woks fine but CA/BB lanced Fighter throw off the balance of too much at T6 plus. The rest of the problms are more a MM problem because not enogh high AA ships are playing avarage wise.

Hiryu could get something like 1/3/2? and same for Shokaku (I would actually like these decks at T7 and T8, it will help with the current "Word of floatplanes")...
