Idea Crafting: Allow Captains To Adjust Reserves

[HBZK100]

What are yall's thoughts on this? Adjusting the amount of reserves between all three types of planes could be very beneficial depending on what strategy your trying to use. Now, there would be limits, so you wouldn't be able to just put all reserves into torpedo bombers say. But it would be nice to have a little bit of tweaking to the reserves.

Possibly as a step in toward a larger change. On it's own, it seems counter-intuitive to what WG has already been doing. They seem to adjust what you have with intention toward what the ship should have as focus. The most obvious example would be enterprise, which is why you're making this thread probably.

 

I have seen people suggest allowing control of your reserves as part of also allowing what you can launch in a match on the fly (with limitations)

While the loadout options have desperately needed work from the beginning what would happen with this is one really good option and many bad ones.

Time to put more fighters i reserve for the Enterprise.

US CVs are probably alone in needing this. Shift to something like 3/0/3 so they can pose a threat to a Taiho and enough DB to be dangerous.

 

IJN CVs are fine as is with loadout options.

I can see essex and Midway having a 3/0/3, then having a 2/1/3 as balanced/strike. That would be cool.

However, would two fighters be OP for those carriers?

2 fighters will not withstand 7 squadrons.

as long as i can custom swap for versatility. IJN carriers can do that very well atm which explains their above average win rates and that infuriates/annoys me.

Awesome idea, we'll look into this :) appreciate that you shared the suggestion!

Yes, please.

What about giving every cv a stock loadout then the modules could adjust reserves. Ie strike = kaga style reserves while enterprise = as style reserves.

 

That would allow load balancing to be easier while still allowing the player to customize the reserves to their play style. It would also allow more room for special loadouts for premiums as well.
