How many of you will play carriers?

[hawkeyem4]

I can tell y'u I am.I love WWII naval combat history,and Battle 360.Now don't get me wrong I want to play all the ship,especially the oddballs,but there's somethin' about carriers,maybe because I also love WWII aviation.Who else is with me.

[alphakaynine]

Okay yes i will destroy with my epic carrier tactics but ' is not even close to o how did you mess that up?

[sgtpepper500]

I am curious to see how carrier will be played. I think I'll try out all the classes and see what fits me the best. If they are anything like arty in WoT they will cause me so much rage when I am on the receiving end.

Carriers will be like arty, sit in the back and launch planes. Not rush head long into battle; do that and you're dead.

[x2_Weekends]

Personally, I'm thinking carrier mechanics will be a lot like artillery in World of Tanks: long range distance attacks.  I'm just guessing here but I cant see them wanting to get very close for any CQ combat.  I can see a "top down" view much like arty where you target an enemy ship and click the mouse to "send out your planes" and an animation of planes takes off.  They swoop out attacking the target causing various levels of damage then the animation is the planes returning to the home carrier.  So if you play WoT and like playing arty then I think carriers will be your thing.

 

I see Battleships mechanics like the big, slow heavies of WoT: Slow manuverability due to heavy armor but massive alpha damage and slow RoF.

 

And of course the Cruisers will be the WoT equivalent of the medium tanks: moderate armor making agile flankers with low alpha but good RoF.

 

And the Destroyers will be like the WoT equivalent of light tanks: fast, light armored, agile scouts with small guns and fast RoF.

 

i dont know if any of this has been already posted by someone else, so I apologize if it has.  And just to reiterate: all of this is pure speculation on my part about WoWs mechanics.

 

Carry on...  :Smile_honoring:

[hawkeyem4]

You may have got the game mechanics down except all ship may have an"arty"view.

[alphakaynine]

they are aircraft carriers NOT SPGs!! :Smile_izmena:

[CloakRogue]

I'll try out all the classes. I'll play all the ones that I enjoy, and if I enjoy all the classes, then I'll play them all.

[Lostwingman]

I've heard arty will be RTS-y, sounds interesting. At least you can shoot down the planes though...can't shoot down arty shells...

[redivan]

i plan on playing all the classes but for now i would say its way to hard to say what the play of carriers will be like so i have no idea if it will even fit my play style :P

[NagatoroHayase]

The space bar, you should use it after punctuations.

 

Pretty much you can consider the Carrier like an SPG in the idea that it will sit back and affect the battlefield from long distances. As well as probably get torn apart by anything with a large deck cannon that gets close.

 

Personally, I will probably go super heavy on fighters (if not all fighters). Because if there is one thing some navel games (or tactical fighters in general) have taught me, is that planes with higher damage potential will be spammed. So dedicating myself to disrupting enemy aircraft will probably be better for me and my team.

[EvolGrinZ]

I will be going to play all ships in the game eventually.

But carriers is sure one of them I am looking forward too.

[Wunderwaffen1945]

Can't wait to see it with my own eyes

I'll probably have mix of aircraft,but there one carrier aircraft that may be a good idea are Japan's auto-gyros.They've said they won't have it but why.

[madmanthan21]

Air power FTW! I will also have a mix, i like the Essex class arrangement thouhg 36 hellcats, 36 SB2Cs and 18 Devastators (or was it avengers, i cant remember)

[Super_Dreadnought]

I'm planning to mainly play carriers, aiming for the Shinano. That's as long as - since the game isn't out - I don't find out A) the playstyle doesn't work for me, and/or B) I suck with carriers.

 

I'll probably play everything though, there's no reason not to.

[Lostwingman]

Man if for any reason I'll be playing them because I love the way some of the early carriers look.

[Capcon]

I really don't think the ship types translate well to WoT equivalents anymore. As we gain more and more information I'm convinced that thinking this game will be the same as WoT but on water will get you repeatedly sunk.

 

Nothing is AI in WoT. Most things about the aircraft interactions with ships appear to be AI so that is a big difference. Carriers are NOT SPGs, Battleships and Cruisers are.

 

And yes I will play carriers

 

and battleships

 

and cruisers

 

and destroyers

 

and weird hybrid seaplane carriers

 

and oddball premium ships

 

and I hope very very soon.   :Smile_playing:

[Sampsonite]

I figure we'll all be experts at this game and will be perfectly versed in it by the time it is released...

[mr3awsome]

I will play carriers. Probably one of the two classes i will play most, the other being Battleships

[flyboy1939]

I'll play carriers any time they're the most important warship in the world due to it's ability to launch aircraft ,and i won't like a awesome machine like that be called an arty piece if you watched Battle 360 enterprise episodes you're probably gonna win every match if you didn't I sugest that you don't play carriers. I will adimit my favorites in WoWs carriers,Battleships,batllecruisers.

The most epic carrier of WWII is the Enterprise try 20 battle stars the most earned EVER!!!! oh yeah.. if you didnt watch Battle 360 Enterprise and want to be a carrier get studying on the tactics  involved. :Smile_sceptic:

[Crag_r]

Ability to put fear into the hearts of every ship on the map? Hell yeah i will play carriers  :Smile_playing:

[commanche65]

Well, Honestly, I was REALLY looking forward to playing submarines. But since that hope has been RUTHLESSLY CRUSHED by WG, yes, I will probably play aircraft carriers.
