makes sense... they were way too profitable before, as evidenced by sooo many screenshots of our esteemed fellow forumites! oh wait...

[basharran]

Wow, just wow...

 

[Unintentional_submarine]

LOL WG why you so troll?

 

Poor CVs. Their economic plight has become a joke.

 

And some of these changes aren't even 'minor', they are pretty hefty.

 AD1: cost increased (600 > 1200)

 

100% increase just randomly picked from the list.

My hope, and half expectation is that this is just the first step, in a rapid line, to make the CV bill more dynamic, and so far we have only seen the negatives. The question is, for me at least, when will we see the positives? Like say removing the income throttle on CVs? Or providing them with increased income from the things they do? Hopefully it won't be too long.

[Tyrendian89]

true - for all we know, this might come hand in hand with a 50% buff to all CV credit earnings or something, that wouldnt necessarily have been datamined along with this... well, we shall see...

[Unintentional_submarine]

But until then I can only laugh at the absolutely ironic situation... Mind you it is an awkward laugh, since I don't know how else to respond to it.

It's WG, don't count on it

[Loran_Battle]

So... I barely played CV since the economy changes (or actually since the AA changes to be honest).

 

Everything is fine right? Wasn't the best game, but I have premium and at least did something. And look at the spotting damage. It did not matter at all. Am I really supposed to only shoot down planes? How about giving me a decent AS loadout then?

 

Sorry for the big screenshots, but I haven't figured out a better way. And I don't  have time because I need to go to work now.

can´t be serious. i refuse to believe

[Fatty_TheCaughtCarrier]

Thats what happens when you do unlimited nerf on CVs. Thanks WG

Someone had a really nice binge out there. Party rushian style with Dasha dancing on the desk. Wish I was invited...

[Mister_Greek]

Jeez, i hate CV's with a passion but this is just...Wow...

[Z_OnkelE]

Seriously, this is a good one!

 

Even though playing against CV(s) sometimes posed a frustrating experience in an AA poor ship it is even a worse experience if CVs are completely non existent. We need to make sure they will remain in the game!

Well even if you do a semi decent saipan game your missing 100 to 200k credits.

[Smeggo]

Wanted to check this on the PTS, but could not get an opponent in 7 minutes...

[viceadmiral123]

On the bright side, this shows that WG is thinking about the CV economy.

That's cute.

[xXx_Blogis_xXx]

oh dam thats bad another nerf zzz

[periscope_up]

Wargaming clearly goes full [edited] with the (recent) design choices and decisions. With the "economy rebalance", the XP and credits gains have been effectively cut in half, on every IJN CV (dunno about USN ones, I'm not playing them.. yet)

[Ishiro32]

[Kais_S012]

would the load time issue not be rectified somewhat by buffing the Lv.3 dog-fighter perk for higher tier carriers so fully upgraded tier 8, 9 and 10s or not hugely different on the scale of capabilities and give them a 1+/- on match making?

 

[MrConway]

Gentlemen, these are data mined figures from the public test server!

 

One of the biggest points of feedback we received after the economy change was about the profitability of carriers, as such we are of course still doing some tweaking.

 

There is no need to sharpen the pitchforks just yet! 

 

 We should have some in-depth information about the economy and the effect of the recent changes coming tomorrow.

To be honest, i don't see many CV's now, but im not complaining, i'm enjoying the game a lot more without them
