OVanBruce Alpha Tester 2,543 posts 16,031 battles Report post #6526 Posted September 1, 2017 Do you really want all future CVs to be slightly modified Shokaku clones? That's basically what Fara proposed and I don't want that, I'd actually like for WG to bring out something new and interesting for CVs in the future instead. The fact that they are actually trying something different shows they actually care about CVs in this game more than people credit then for, otherwise they'd just do Shokaku variations and be done with it. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(difrend here means as diffrent as balancing alows which would probably be not much diffrent when compared to "gimicky" CV's like saipan or kaga) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What about you playing a cruiser instead of spending 94% of your 6k matches with sealclubbing in the Gremyashchy, actively trying to drive newbies off?

I don't play CV's so I don't particularly care either way. You'll note in my quoted post i said 'If' - (the 'when' was part of the hyperbole i mentioned) - though Brit BB's (particularly Orion) atm.... My objection isn't to them trying something new or even the sometimes 'questionable', lets say, consequences of that. It's to their (imho) awful business practises and the (again imo) lies *or half-truths* if you prefer used to cover it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess the problem is that CV are all about the planes so there's really not that many things you can do with them, they're either good at strike or good at air superiority, but that's already in the game so anything new is always going to be a clone of something.

[GRNPA] avenger121 Beta Tester 1,296 posts 10,330 battles Report post #6534 Posted September 1, 2017 You mean the joys of being a whale and throwing money at WG every time you see a prem ship! :P The old Gnewny at T5 was already pretty strong, there is a reason why I managed to do over 60% and 56k DPG despite the horrible turret traverse and a 2 point captain. The Gremyashchy is OP, starting with the doubled torpedo range in comparison to the old Gnevny, the better HE shell and the better maneuverability, add a high tier captain on that for more range, fire chance, better concealment, better RoF, bettet turret traverse .............. et voila, the perfect ship to club some seals.

Sure, but I also absolutely do not trust WG to get (CV) premium balancing right (looking at you Saipan and Kaga) and I'd rather have a 'boring' but balanced Graf Zep than a brokenly OP Graf Zeppelin that will never get nerfed because it is premium and will forever ruin T8.

But I do want US and IJN carriers to be balanced and to perform roughly equally. unfortunately at the moment regular IJN CV's all out perform the USN regular CV's by a distance. What the US CV's need is flexibility and lower servicing times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtm78 Alpha Tester 19,378 posts 6,105 battles Report post #6544 Posted September 2, 2017 Fara wants a competitive game where he can choose which carrier suits him the best for a given match up / map. Instead WG wants to give him another gimmicky CV which will work in randoms because plebs, but has no spot in competitive as the 'gimmicky' things are always something which can be countered. Wouldn't it be nice if you could see competitive games and see more as one nation's carriers being actually considered? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should know already than any semblance of true competition in this game was dispelled long time ago and for it to be again you'd need to change how halve the game works, CVs being the last part to be changed. Honestly, I don't want new and interesting ideas to be shelved just because it doesn't fit """"competitive"""" gameplay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
