"stupid"? That is the most descriptive adjective you could come up with? Try bullying someone else. You don't phase me and I'll continue expressing my opinion no matter how much you attack me.

World of Carriers and Target Ships. How glorious.

They probably don't "regen" too fast in that scenario. OK. On second thought, NO. Never claimed to be an "expert", but I'm not clueless either.

Careful buddy. Hate to see your forum posting privileges pulled. I do very well thank you very much. Stop trying to get this thread locked by making personal attacks.

"nothing more than a whine"??? Guess one might conclude you are nothing more than a troll that dismisses other peoples opinions by saying they are only whining. Good luck with that.

I'm 100% wrong? I and a whole bunch of other people disagree. I haven't taken CVs out in random battles, but have in co-op and in the training room to test effectiveness against non-bots. Additionally, I have watched replay videos which back up my assessment. Relying on random individuals (with various skill levels) playing against each other with unknown commander skill and module/upgrade configurations is completely USELESS with respect to figuring out whether or not CVs are balanced or not.

"Clan Battle" mode is not "Random Battle" mode, so I don't see how your point is relevant to why CVs are treated differently in Randoms.

I'm sure those that think "kicking puppies is fun" enjoy CVs. I just hope CVs are some how balanced soon (or taken out of "normal random battles") before too much damage is done to the player population. I for one will not be spending much money (if any at all) on this game until CVs are truly balanced with other ship classes or they are no longer in "normal random battles".

Very well said sir!

They are essentially unlimited. It is true that if you attack unwisely, you can get to a point where you won't have a full squadron, but you are still a threat in that you can spot and harass "more vulnerable" targets while your planes regenerate.

Sorry Zoup, we are not that close if the objective is to make CVs balanced with respect to the other ship classes. If they can't be balanced, then they should be removed from random battles. I can think of no good reason to have such a "dominating or influential" element in a game except to please those that some how find "kicking puppies" fun.

Yes, it is a shift in the wrong direction if the goal is to make the various ship classes "balanced" (which I thought was one of the re-work's objectives).

That would help, but it doesn't do anything with respect to "balance". WG should make every effort to balance CVs with other ship classes so that if you have a DC'd (disconnected for entire battle) CV on your team, your chances of winning isn't reduced too much. Look at DDs. I've seen plenty of battles where a DD gets "nuked" in the first couple of minutes of the game or the DD is DC'd, yet the team one DD down is not severely handicapped and has a very good chance of winning the battle.

I agree, but I don't see WG getting rid of them. Preferably, I would like see CV-Randoms and Non-CV-Randoms battle modes, but that probably won't happen either.

Am thinking WG should just change the name of World of Warships to World of Carriers and Target Ships. Unlimited planes needs to be removed ASAP, or perhaps increase the amount of time it takes to "ready" a squadron after it is selected as well as slow down plane regeneration time. How can carriers be considered "balanced" when WG limits their number in a battle to a number that is lower than any other ship class? If CVs were really "balanced", there would be no need to use such a lower limit.
