CV noob question

[anonym_kFyknZjC61Jj]

New player intrigued by CV play, but in Hosho and Zuiho I find it...unrewarding. Is it supposed to be this frustrating?

Accuracy of auto drops is so bad it's not worth bothering to launch strike planes, especially weakened squads.

Always have to operate from extreme real of map due to total lack of team protection. Means long sortie cycle times.

Only influence on battle is from killing red planes to assist others.

Great for team, but XP for me? Pfffft.

What am I missing here?

Bots are sometimes better at avoiding planes than players are.   They don't get distracted like players do.

But also just learn to watch how they start turning and where to drop to anticipate a good position.

u needed more practice in Co-Op like 50 games, then learn from it, then slowly move over to random.

Plane weaker? check capt skill yet? air supremacy - more HP to planes - more ammunition

more chances of fighting high tier planes ???

did you research into your CV ???

 

i hope 50 games in Co-Op help you out on your own

Once you get to slightly higher tiers, your CV's will have greater reserves, manual drops, ect... you'll have better tools for the job, and it will make it more enjoyable.

With only 8 pts capt skills. Took her out to prove she still have a fighting chances

Specifically holding back the dive bomb, just using the torp squads with Auto drop to see if the OP claim is valid, turn out OP is invalid.

Specifically use fighter squad in a 2v2 CV game, without the SA capt skills, still shot down 22 planes, that is 6 more planes then my partner, the Langley (you did a great job there)

Solo capture cap pt when the opportunity given

Dive bomb used for spotting dd in cap so allies can shoot at, use at end game since we got the game in our hand and got 1 fire from it too, giggle.

 

Conclusion, its not the ship, its the capt who drive the ship skills
