bad players are more of a threat in the current system haha

but i can feel with you, seeing ur high damage cv medal im kinda aware you had fun with the old system :)

 

you are not counting what it cost to learn to take them, it is a branch with a little difficulty

[Redcap375]

Chaps...

 

Please take a look in the "Preliminary Analysis of CV skill/upgrades" thread that @El2aZeR has created.  There is some good information and tip regarding the new CV re-work. I Agree with the majority of the information (Might take the HP over the Speed, but see how it goes, either is good).

 

The Clan has already arranged a training day to implement them into CB. 

 

However, i don't think I will be the one flying them, even though I have all of them.

You could link it here at last :P

Ladies and gents,

 

today is the day.

One last day to enjoy RTS CV play. The majority of the playerbase hates us, WG neglected and outright ignored us. But despite such adversity we chose to continue on our path and learn the intricacies of this class, rising heads and shoulders above the whiny s that would rather see it removed. Yes, it is clunky, buggy and has plenty of problems, but it is not without its own charm.

And it all ends today.

 

To those who look for greener pastures elsewhere, it has been an honor. And to us who choose to once again persevere, I wish good fortunes in the damage farming that is to come.

*stands up and raises a glass, the waifu following suit*

One last toast to us! The oldschool CV captains!

Chaps...

 

Those that wanna go out with a bag tonight or play "the old skool way" then i will be on tier 7 CV's all night with a few tier 8 and 10 thrown in.

 

I hope you see some of you on and play, for the final time, against you.

Most of me wants to face you in the skies for a final honorable joust.

The rest is busy pointing at my full AA Flint while cackling madly.

Anyone have US client and is able and willing to check what are differences compared to PTS3? Based on article

https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/game-updates/cv8-which-nation-to-choose/

Midway already lost 2 rockets per HVARcat, SE gives 15hp/tier instead 20 for planes. I wonder what else

[Reckie]

Just had to share this DB drop by Fara in the GZ, last night of glorious instant deletions.

I'm thinking about doing the same, although the last days my ping went astray the moment I finished warming up in other ships and switched to CVs.

 

In any case, to be played tomorrow at 05:00 UTC:

 

Salute.

[Redcap375]

Well, the very last game was a win in my Kaga against a Saipan that really didn't abuse the broken strafe it has. 3 kills, 2 of which were there only dd's. 

 

Their ships chased me literally across the map (someone had a MM mod on then ). Opened them up to crossfire though 

 

*sigh*

 

Well that is that chaps.

 

Stiff underlip and all that, lets welcome the new dawn with open arms......

 

And wait for the incoming salt  

 

 

[Jagod]

My salut to the old school around

 

In light of the rework I want to give CV another try (never played past t5 in the rts style) and am looking at the skills + upgrades (great post by @El2aZeR btw). That being said, what do you think about Ovechkin as USN CV captain. How valuable are those +50 plane HP on (a hypothetical) Midway compared to +500 HP on Gearing in your opinion?

[Redcap375]

Well the salt is coming in thick and fast.

 

However, there is nothing we can do about it now, we already sounded the air warning long ago .  So........

 

Tips, reviews and any lessons that we can provide new CV players would be fanatic.  As we have always done and hopefully continue to do so, lets also help the other classes out too if they want some help in this forum.  People that really want to learn the game come to forums like these for help.

 

I know that many of us wont be very welcome in games at the moment, but that's not our problem.

[Redcap375]

Well interesting first day with the re-work...What a mess hey.

 

Biggest points so far:

 

1) Blobs of ships with uncertainly written all over their faces. People are worried about these CV's and are going into defensive mode.

2) Never seen so many AA ships in a day.  Because of the rework, everyone is expecting CV's so they are kitting them out.

3) Hand full of DD's so far.  People are simply afraid to use them and i don't blame them.  They are by far the worst hit with the rework.  Funny that in all the games so far, the first planes to get into the air are rockets for the DD's.

4) Torps are underwhelming compered to the other weapons.  Less flooding and less damage. So the drop that requires to most concentration and skill (bit more) yields the least damage.

5) The spread on the US Torps are awful even with a good drop. Never again.

6) Game play is already getting boring.

 

Oh, and why arnt any new CV battles going onto our stats? 

 

This will be very interesting when we compare the 2 in a few months time.  See if damage numbers go up or down. 

 

I said I will give this rework time, but already thinking of selling at least one whole line (IJN).  At least i can get the Alaska now with all the free XP i got back 

[El2aZeR]

It seems that the update made every  crawl out of their hole and play the game again.

 

Literally every loss I suffered today playing CVs was a horrendous throw.

So how you guys feel about t4 CVs ? They seem pretty weak in the dmg dealing department

4 and 6 have the Issue that your Damage Potential doesn't feel on pair with the Amount of Effort and Time put into it (a nice way to say "your damage suxxx lol :P) I already reported back in October that the Way low tier CVs play will just bore Ppl to Death and keep them away from continue playing, but duh what do I know....

 

1 of my Clanmates is trying CVs again, but Ryujo (t6). If you are in need of Salt join his TS Channel ;) He hates it (like most ppl do, with a good Reason) 

 

It gets "ok-ish" on T8 where the Premium CVs feel much stronger then their Silver Conterparts. And on T10 you are pretty much still a Force to be reckoned with, however it's no Fun for me. Only did 4 coop and 2 random battles so far, but I can't force myself to continue.  Not that the Results are bad, it feels "meh"

@El2aZeR 29 enterprise Games already,  you are crazy

 

[El2aZeR]

T4 and T6 are basically made to  over cruisers and DDs. There isn't all that much you can do against BBs aside from gambling on DoT.

 

I would say overall the potential match influence of CVs has actually been nerfed - in so far that you cannot shut down the enemy CV anymore. The match is still largely decided by the better CV first and foremost, all that changed is that it's a pure damage race now.

[Zigiran]

I played a few matches in my Omaha and I was totally not impressed by T4 (and even T6) CV's.

I just ignored them most of the time, sometimes took the effort to dodge a torp (easier then before, since it is only 2 torps now).

But the damage of the low lvl CV's is just sad. I also played some games in my T4 and T6 JP CV's and I was struggling to get any hits at all (which is probably a L2P issue), but when after 3 failed torp runs you finally hit with a torp and it does 3k damage....

I also noticed that the lower tier CV's always end up on the bottom of the score board.

 

I'm really wondering if this is a L2P issue or if the lower tier CV's are UP?

 

 

(Note: I have not played high tier games since 0.8.0, so I have no experience how T8 and T10 CV's are)

[El2aZeR]

Aircraft speed plays a part in AP bomb penetration at least when attacking sideways. Unsure if it is the same in a normal horizontal attack but I would assume so.

[Robber_Baron]

I don't like the new CV's so far. I'm mostly struggling with hitting bombs and keeping my planes alive. I try to weave a bit, but I have to align for the drop at one point. And then it's just blap, blap, blap - gone planes.

This was in co-op, but I doubt it'll be easier in Randoms.

[El2aZeR]

Enterprise fighters have a bigger patrol radius than Lexington ones along with twice as many fighters per squad.

This is a problem for me.

 

While I kinda want to sell so I can get the free XP,  many tears, blood, and sweat was shed to get the Midway. (which I had gotten WAY before the re-work)

 

This also applies to my IJN CV grind (though granted I only wanted Hiryuu and Shoukaku) so I really don't know what to do, because I could sell the lines to get the Kurfurst and Lion, but yet I want to keep something (Midway) that I grinded pretty hard to get (even though I'm STILL not good at CVs)

[El2aZeR]

Someone just called my Enterprise a "British op CV".

Should I take that as a compliment?

You can always request buffs for Enterprise, as she might be considerably powercrept if flying Conqueror is going to be a thing.

 

And when you're at it, gib 260kts bombers on Lady Lex too
