ive been playing since the BETA and i was never to great at aircraft carriers and with this i was pretty decent but then they nerfed it so its more fair and i guess thats good but i decided not to hold on to my Midway but not i have 700000+ exp on my erie and i feel really annoyed about that... as far as gameplay this definitely heavily affects the DDs as they now get obliterated by rockets on a good aircraft player (lost half my hp in clemson from one rocket barrage from a langely) , it heavily encourages everyone to stick together which is a really big difference from before
