Look again. The T10 match does have T10 CVs in it. Good job man!

So you say you've played CV a few times after the rework, but you still don't know how they play? From looking at your stats it doesn't look like you've ever played a CV. So, FYI, CV's now have a set amount of planes they start with, BUT, they replenish those at a set rate throughout the match. So If you can shoot down lots of planes, you will effectively deplane a CV towards the end of the match, but you will never fully deplane a CV (unless they are really bad). Also, if a CV launches planes before they are sunk, those planes have a few minutes to still fly around and either spot and/or strike targets one last time. So going off of your description of the battle above, I would say you were also still being attacked by the CV you sunk, and since you were really close to the other CV, the surviving one was quickly cycling through strike packages. You don't have to wait for your planes to land to launch another strike, and in this case it sounds like the red CV made one pass with a set of planes and then immediately launched another strike package. Before the rework, a good CV player would have just dev struck you in one pass.

Planes don't have a range, they have flight time. It's roughly 20 minutes max.

Ditto. I took the Hermes out for 1 battle, and the bombs would not pen a BB most of the time. I think out of 16 bomb hits, only 2 penned for any damage. A clanmate tried them on a cruiser with pretty much the same effect. The bombers for the Hermes are pretty much useless. I was able to get damage with the Furious bombers though.

I disagree to an extent. I sucked at the RTS version of CV's, mainly because I couldn't micro-manage multiple units effectively. So a good CV player would strafe my planes out of existence while my focus was elsewhere. With the current system I can concentrate on the one flight group and my CV. I feel pretty comfortable with CV's now, and I feel that I do pretty well in them most of the time.

I haven't played today, but my rocket attacks yesterday did not seem to be any different.

I knew I saw this someplace. So it looks like they will at least be moving some of the tech tree premiums to the "Armory" to be purchased with doubloons. I knew I wasn't crazy!

Oh come on, everyone knows Colorado is the best state! The battleship bearing it name.... ehh.

Since the flooding damage decreased, they should really re-think the nerf to flood chance they made to aerial torps a couple of patches ago. Possibly put it back to where it was?

I thought for sure they had mentioned adding these to the Arsenal, and removing them from the tech tree, to try and consolidate things a bit. Maybe it was just a suggestion I remembered.

Didn't they state that at some point they were going to have all premium ships in the Arsenal? Not sure if they ever gave a time-frame for that.

Spotter planes will still spot that sneaky DD coming up on you... they'll just be 20% closer and you won't see the torps coming.

I might try that just to see. When we had the snowflake event I played many DD's in Co-op, but I always just sailed straight at the enemy, smoked up, and killed everything that got near me.
