Without aircraft carriers the game of "World Of Warships" turns into a game of a first person shooter game where everyone is hiding behind islands, very little team work, and everyone is afraid to push. With aircraft carriers in the match, you can't play hide and seek when aircraft will delete your static [edited]. We need more aircraft carriers at the higher tiers to stop the rampant camping behind islands with a play style that is equivalent of an infantryman. Give a bonus, or some other incentive to play aircraft carriers. Otherwise with all the static play, "World of Warships" turns to crap. Yeah, yeah....here comes the dumb [edited] comments from the peanut gallery like "get gud" and "play aircraft carriers". For one if "getting gud" means to play high level matches like it was "Halo", or "Rainbow Six", then I am out. That is just not fun, and gets old very quickly. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

6,776 [SIM] SkaerKrow Members 6,307 posts 10,286 battles Report post #6 Posted October 9, 2017 Currently, aircraft carriers can delete ships whether they're mobile or static; the only real counter is your ship's AA rating. Ergo, the addition of more carriers doesn't make the game more interesting, it just punishes lines with bad AA. If static play is a problem, then there are far better solutions than ramping up the participation of the game's most dysfunctional class. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
17,264 [WOLF5] HazeGrayUnderway [WOLF5] Members 38,112 posts 30,874 battles Report post #7 Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) There have been 3 traditional threats that BB worry about. Torpedoes & DDs. Carrier Air Power. Interestingly, these same 3 things have received plenty of heavy handed nerfs since Launch. Coincidentally, BBs are the most played ships in the game. There's nothing wrong with Cruisers. They get deleted just fine by Battleships. Edited October 9, 2017 by HazeGrayUnderway 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,201 [HC] SgtBeltfed [HC] Beta Testers 3,972 posts 13,731 battles Report post #8 Posted October 9, 2017 I don't think it would help. The huge clump of ship's hiding behind (pick island of your choice) is pretty much impossible to attack with aircraft. A combined AA rating of 400 or so, not including a cruiser with a cooldown hiding somewhere in that makes it impossible. All it does is tell the Shimakaze where to put the torps when it's lucky enough to be on the team that actually does something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If CVs can't attack through AA cruisers, they are ineffective in forcing ships to move. If CVs can attack through AA cruisers, they're blatantly overpowered. CVs can not solve this problem. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And on that note, who's doing the complaining is completely irreelvant if the complaints are valid. How about you give up the irrelevant nonsense and address the complaints themselves, and if they're valid? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1,680 Snoopys_Odyssey Members 1,603 posts 18,714 battles Report post #15 Posted October 9, 2017 Yeah, destroyers are affected by aircraft too, but that feeling you get when you are in destroyer and you find a lone, undefended aircraft carrier......such a feeling. That is what aircraft carrier drivers fear, right? A rogue DD coming in at you undetected and uncontested. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a shame if something were to scratch that paint. AP bombs causing multiple citadel hits, Tier 9 and 10 Japanese CV triple torp drops literally 1 kilometer from the ship ignoring 100 AA speccd battleships getting dev strikes, I hardly call that just scratching the paint. I'm not saying some planes should make it through...however an experienced cv captain can straight wreck a bb moving or not. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I care so little that I'd be willing to go through and debunk your arguments point by point, and explain exactly why, with proof, how your arguments are irrelevant nonsense.

Nope. I just don't think you're worth the time. It'd just be a waste of time and effort. Not because you'd debunk everything, but because you literally cannot be convinced of anything that was not already your idea. I've been interacting with you for 2 years. I know how stubborn you are. And I know you're just trying to manipulate me into giving you something to bite down on so you can feel good about how you "beat" me. I'll just be over here, deconstructing your psyche like the good ol' days. 5 minutes ago, ReddNekk said: Thanks for the laugh DDriver! Talk about willful ignorance.
