I was thinking about seal clubbing a bit with the langley with AS Perk..

 

As im not going further in the US cv line anyway... might aswell use my independence captain on langley

 

Think this will be viable?

Do whatever you want. Do you really need permission from the forum to play on your own account?

I saw a picture on this forum recently of a guy with a Bogue with, what, 3k games played or something. Don't be like that guy.

 

Edit: 3k games IN A BOGUE. The mind bog(g)(ue)les.

Yup.

 

One of WGs best ideas ever to give it a 1/1/1 loadout.

Even without the perk its disgustingly mean to basicly everything it meets.

And gl meeting  someone at T4 who knows how to strafe or how to manage fires. :trollface:

He's trying to start an argument.  A form of trolling.

I'm not old man. I'm just stating that he's perfectly able to do it himself and gauge his own results from this.

Hiryu is awesome in current mm meta with AS captain skill, except weak torp bombers. But it can be managed

You spend a lot of time on the map screen. Either you like maps or you don't. Then you meet US CVs with air superiority builds which make you sad and as you go up the tiers, ships you come across have AA which kills loads of your aircraft. 

You really have to love maps..

I would need to test devastating strike capability on Hosho, considering it's soo fun to delete cruisers with US tb

Tier 5 carriers are superior for seal clubbing. I am of course talking about the Zuiho specifically. Whilst you have to run the gauntlet of AS Bogues, you have bigger plane reserves and about the highest relative power of any carrier.

because cv play is so boring you will fall asleep once game starts

 

I hope I will one day have the skill and experience to say "playing CV is boring". That might be the point at which I could beat papedipupi, strangers, Reyte, Poi Empire, and more designated CV players (too many to list them here, great players nonetheless) at their own game and just dominate the airspace...

To me CV is the most challenging and most exhausting class to play. Which is why sealclubbing is so dirty with them. But sometimes I like it dirty. And damn, those things are so flat :3

At tier 4 when you have mastered strafing, manual drops of both bombers, cross drops, map awareness and target prioritisation then you too can feel like they do at tier 9 :)

I think that they included CVs in to low tiers. The battleships at tier 4 and 5 were mostly constructed when CVs where still not effective and most of them fought during the first world war when aircraft was not a factor in naval warfare. Propably, a lot of the hate against CV stems from the bad experience of playing against them at low tiers.

you shoulda tried em in closed beta

bbs had naff aa and dds couldn't hide from em

but cruisers used to wipe them planes out the sky fast so bbs used to stick closer to the cruisers for aa cover

sometimes you where to only cv or it was 2v1 cv

I miss those crazy cbt days

I was thinking about seal clubbing a bit with the langley with AS Perk..

 

I have been playing T4 CV exclusively until now which started out as a method to fulfil missions in the past. The small number of games I did with my T5 CV (at least I unlocked all modules on the IJN one) taught me only one thing: proper cruiser AA is really, really painful. But staying only at T4 and finally learning the basics of CV gameplay made me technically a seal clubber.

 

Regarding the said seal clubbing: it is quite disgusting to have the AS perk on any of the T4 CVs (it only needs a 10+ point captain now and it is equally bad for the enemy seal, if you pick USN or IJN). You will run into less skilled CV player a lot and they do not have that skill. Thus it makes the experience even more demotivating for players who simply want to try out this new part of the game.

 

Honestly I thikn it is such an advantage, AS should only be active for T5 and above (maybe even T6+) to give new players more chance to catch up. It is hard for them to put up a fight already, if they run into a seal clubber without the perk. In the two or three games I did since 0.6.0 I have had one match in which I erased 27 enemy planes in less than 5 minutes. The enemy CV couldn't do anything at all! I do not consider myself a proper CV player but after any player learned the basics this perk makes it even more punishing to run into such a (slightly more) skilled player with a trained captain on top.

Bogue with the 1/1/0 loadout is the strongest low tier CV. No CV at low tier can really beat you if you know what you're doing and with dog fighting expert unless its a 2/0/1 Inde or 3/1/2 Ryujo they can't beat you at tier 6 either.
