CV have a limited number of fighter squadrons. They can't cover every ship. Plus they have to protect their own bomber squadrons.

20 [CVLUL] Cloak_The_Ship Members 84 posts 7,665 battles Report post #7 Posted January 13, 2018 I had a match yesterday where a DD had gotten behind us and was headed toward our CV. I notified our CV of the issue and told him that if he could send over a plane to spot the DD I would do my best to kill it. Our CV replied "No I need my fighters to escort my bombers". Two minutes later the DD sinks our CV and our CV goes into a rant about how much we all suck yadda yadda...for the next 5 minutes. /facepalm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24 Joe_Barbarian Members 151 posts 922 battles Report post #8 Posted January 13, 2018 As a CV player we get a lot of toxic comments all the time. Sometimes a single innocent comment will push them over the edge. Honestly, the abuse CV players get being good or not / trying their best, players just crapon them so yeah, i'm not surprised i'm seeing someone slinging crapback. 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While this is a laudable sentiment, the fact is that if a BB is putting himself in harm's way fighting enemy ships, you're asking the AA cruiser to do the same. And often since the BB is moving at least somewhat closer to the enemy, you are asking that AA cruiser to make himself a lot easier target, which is usually a VERY unwise thing for a cruiser to do. Actually, one of the better things you can do is to blob up a number of BBs, particularly some that have good AA, because even without defensive fire, if you get a group of decent to really good AA BB's in close proximity, they can create one heck of a nasty AA bubble. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oooooh, yeah. This is good. I was playing my Bogue, a Texas and a Orion stayed close together, and I knew that Orion (Which is normally an easy target) was untouchable without devastating losses.

Everyone hates cvs until they need help; then they blame the cv player for not doing everything for them and who cares about the rest of the map. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was playing my Bogue, a Texas and a Orion stayed close together, and I knew that Orion (Which is normally an easy target) was untouchable without devastating losses. The thing is that it's a lot easier to get 2-3 BBs to stick together (as long as they have reasonably comparable speeds) than it is to get and keep an AA cruiser in close proximity. And you probably don't have to worry as much about another BB bailing on you. At least not as much as a cruiser bailing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And rather than just saying "no smoke", say "I don't have smoke on this DD". "no smoke" could mean that it's on cooldown, for example.

Whenever I see "Well you are stupid CV b/c you wouldn't do this for me" (Either in chat or in forums) I always think of this. "You should have stopped those bombers!" -> all squads are currently engaged trying to not allow the enemy fighters slaughter my planes "Why didn't you bomb [Insert ship here]" -> bombers trying to avoid being trashed by fighters and monsterous AA "Why don't you have fighters up, stupid CV" -> They have been for the past ten minutes, they just had to resupply! I really wish the hate against CVs would stop. You wouldn't yell at a battleship for not turning 180 degrees and taking a torpedo spread for you, why would you ask a CV to do something of equally dangerous things. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was pretty busy in the cap, and was not able to take the time to post a reply like this one. I also started the battle with my usual 'hi team' but nobody responded to that either. but I won't stop efforts to be friendly.

1,153 [ARGSY] centarina Members 10,326 posts 16,228 battles Report post #22 Posted January 13, 2018 sounds like abused spouse syndrome . main issue is that many don't want to play in CV included match for various reasons, and the fact that you are forcing them causes lot of salt no matter the outcome. beyond that, for other player, existence of CV means 2/3 chance that it will make their experience worse. 1) both potato cv. no one complains, best outcome for rest of team. no more salt than usual from the team. 2) one potato CV, one unicum CV: one team is totally trolled and winning team gets less xp/dmg . 75% unhappy 3) both unicum CV . both CV will farm the other team as a race to finish to see which is better farmer. most of both team ends up being unhappy being farmed. So, until they balance the CV to be equal to any other ships, expect continued disgust at CV play. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest though I think any ship Class can get blamed if they appear to have "not done enough" and you have done mouthy kids that speak first and don't bother checking status of the battle at all when they are either far out of the fight, yoloing, or at the bottom of the ocean. You can be a BB that has tanked for the team and supported your team on front lines, gotten high caliber award, and are pulling back to regenerate your HP and some how some on your team think you are a coward and have done nothing and they have very likely not noticed your HP level or your kills... CAs can be blamed even if they have done well because they decided not to engage 4 BBs alone on a flank, but instead stay undetected while back up arrives or until you get out of open water into better position to continue fighting the enemy. And of Course DDs are expected to be everywhere at once lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
