Double CV games are pretty rare nowadays deal and move on? Double CV games are anything BUT rare these days; there are more CV's in game now than I can remember seeing for ... ever.

6,772 [RLGN] Estimated_Prophet Members 19,163 posts 35,195 battles Report post #10 Posted November 28, 2016 Seen a lot of 2 CV games lately, likely because of Shipsgiving, (which will end tomorrow morning at the server reset.) Depending on the experiences of new players who took up CVs, and older players who dusted their's off for the events, it may be that the frequency of them appearing will drop off again.

85 Jimmybobcornflake Members 157 posts Report post #11 Posted November 28, 2016 Too many CV's out there. Not a fun time. Especially if you captain ships with next to null AA defense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The new UK CAs have 8 torps per side, the IJN have between 8 and 10 torps per side, and the USSR has 5 torps per side. All range from 8 to 10 KM. Then add CV torp bombers and you have as much torpedo soup as ever. It just isn't only from IJN DD's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2,349 [NG-NL] Reymu Members 7,141 posts 12,577 battles Report post #19 Posted November 29, 2016 CVs are the brutally hard counter to DD torp soup (T6+ IJN, T8+ US, and T9-10 VMF usually are the culprits). When there's 5-6 DDs per team, it degenerates into a contest to see who roasts the most marshmallows before having to WASD hax against the torp soup. I think LWM holds the record for 50 marshmallows for 5 minutes of camping lol. Much as some players might dislike it, CVs are needed to counter torp soup. Few push a cap the DD's hiding in. I guess the usual thinking is "I don't want to advance until I know the red DD"s location and incoming torps." Rarely see someone brave enough to say eff it, pop hydro, and charge in because he'll get half the reds opening on him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
