I love this game, but the skillway is ruining this game SO hard. Any word on nerfs?

[fenrirspup]

Anyone from WG can tell theyre looking into the skillway problem? If theres a skillway in both teams you could just afk or leave and start another game. Any other ship is irrelevant vs a skillway. AA doesnt matter, it instakills BBs, how can WG not have nerfed this crapalready? oh my god seriously I spend a lot of money on this game but if nothing gets done about that ONE broken piece of skillship Im out.

[Linushg]

Skillway? Skillship? I might be able to answer this of you tell me what ship it is.

skillway,  midway? 

[Whatever08152]

As far as I can tell you have very solid stats in your Yamato ..so I guess you dont went AA with her and focused on improving dmg rather than survivability?

 

Most of the time a midway has to attack me twice in an full AA Iowa so I think a Yamato should at least be able to "perform" similar.

 

And what would you expect ...he is also a T10 and you can survive if you (and your team ofc) focus on defending against the midway rather than get sunk one by one ...T10 does require a bit of teamplay I guess.

 

But still ...you are right ...dont like midways that much either :p

So far i know he is talking about aircraft carriers. the midway O_o.

Join a match with aircraft carrier, launch planes to target and leave game.

Even joining a game and do nothing pays out.

At least thats what i see a lot of time.

I dont get mad if I get killed by a BB, I should have angled better, I dont get mad when a cruiser kills me, shudnt have been in that spot. I dont get mad when a DD kills me, I should have seen it comming or positioned better, i get FURIOUS when a CV kills me, im SO [edited]sick of it, theres litrally NOTHING you can do vs that :S its so retarded. (not just in my yama in any other ship I play)

Well i know that feeling to.

CV`s should actually be added from Tier 6 not 4. Tier4 and 5 matches have also Tier 3 ships in most of the time it so its redicilous to fight against Tier 4 and 5 CV`s.

Not talking about low tiers though. At low tiers theyre okay.

[ColonelPete]

You can see Ariroon invests a lot of effort to present his issue through easy to understand language and objective reasoning.

I foresee a lot success in his endeavor.

 

[lankylad11_lankylad]

of course CV's should be in the game at tier 4, there are ways to defend yourself against CV's battleships who seperate themselves off from their team they get offed.  simple as that.  if you are the senior battleship, ask a cruiser to stay with you, that will break up attack runs, job done

[viceadmiral123]

Feel so nice to make newbies rage hard.

You havent played at high tiers vs a midway have you? Dont matter if your with a cruiser rofl.

unfortunately you are experiencing the historical accurateness of this game, you need a battle-group to deal with a carrier, you need CA that give up going around suicide and instead stay back and give you AA cover; obviously asking that level of teamwork is naive at best that is constant in all wg games and imho come from their inability to scrap historical accuracy in favor of game balance.

Best way to deal with it is playing division only 1 BS + 2 CA all tree specced AA .

 

PS be glad they restricted cv to only one on each division.

PS2 also be glad there aren't subs otherwise the level of teamplay required to survive could only be achieved by really good clans

So nice historical accuracy where 1 class outclasses every other and there's meant to be balance then Bbs should rule the waves till carries appeared which they don't nice to see Wg doing such a good job with historical accuracy for only 1 class

isn't that exactly what is happening, if no carrier are in battle BS are king if carrier are in everyone else is just ruined, obviously that considering every player involved is competent

Give AA gives NO experience or credits, giving AA doesnt matter because you MAYBE shoot down 1-2 planes of a midway squad. also once you used your AA ability the midway can just waltz over and do its thing. this game isnt about historical accuratnes, this is about balance.

Well granted im not top tier and never will be but if in low to mid with no carriers and u cant kill  a BB in a destroyer you definitely doing it wrong DDs devour low to mid Bbs for breakfast and Bbs cant do a damn thing about it as theyre secondarys are useless so def no historical accuracy there.

 

[lankylad11_lankylad]

Yeah.  BB's rule the waves when for most of WW2 the aircraft carrier was the backbone of the fleet with the BB as escort sure.  The fact is, there are steps that can easily be taken to halt a midway.
1) STICK TOGETHER

2) STICK TOGETHER

3) STICK TOGETHER

 

Whether there is a carrier in battle or not, you should still try and stick together as a group cos you can achieve better results that way.  BB's who insist on driving alone provide easy meat for high tier carriers.  simple as that

 

If three or four proper high tier battleships (Tirpitz excluded) stay together its harder for hte midway to hit, because you will be able to put up multiple catapult fighters to break up the run.  If you are in a Tirpitz being offed by carriers i have no sympathy.  I own an Essex, and i know that if people stick together and/or near their cruisers they can quite easily blunt my attack run. Midway was the best carrier in the world in 1945 which is at the end of the target period, so its no surprise it performs best.  The fact is, after you have ground all the way down the USN carrier line being dominated by IJN carriers at your tier consistently, you deserve the Essex and Midway

[oosel]

im getting so much grief from games when i cover our carrier in my pensa as it always end with just me and him left and then the rage starts at me for being a dumb noob and not pressing forward

wait until you are out of tier 5-6

maybe you and the carrier end up sliding on the map border behind the base? Form a battle group, stick together Bs and CA and the carrier slight behind the group (not all the way back on the map border) but in range to AA cover, dd should scout for enemies but not outside firing range of the CA just slight ahead the main fleet. 

I know it's boring for CA and DD to hold the gas and follow the slow fleet but unfortunately WG is determined to use them as support ships

TL;DR: Camp at a corner with everyone, shoot at 20km+ range and pray to RNG

[lankylad11_lankylad]

if the carrier is a midway, you shouldn't really need to cover him, if its an Essex i would cover him for five minutes, and then catch up with the battleship group.  My experience suggests Essex can be carrier sniped, the Midway cannot.  As for Japanese carriers, I am not sure

[JocMeister]

I suggest you "anti CV" guys should try playing CVs. It will be a good eye opener. I just did that and it was a real eye opener... some tidbits.

 

In my NC I never have much problems with CVs (even T10 ones). Look at the map, use your floatfighter, focus AA and turn. Worst case I take a couple of TTs. Most of the time none. Last game me and another NC wiped out a full Hiruyu strike (2 TBs and 2 DBs) before they could even drop. Can´t even remember when I was sunk or even badly hit by a CV last time. 80% of the games are without CVs at all.

 

In my Independence I had all my TBs and DBs wiped out by a lone Colorado before any of them could even drop. That was a fun round.... I have a new found respect for CV players. Its fricking hard and not so easy. Not unless you get really lucky and some really bad BB players are on the other team....players that don´t pay attention and just sail on in a straight line.
