I feel to be the other side of the spectrum. I like it. Lets be fair the old rts view got stagnant and boring, carriers simply were not evolving like other ships were. While I would like to see the ability to have fighter squadron dogfights at some point, this patch is a step in the right direction I must say. I do like it and do have fun However to be honest at wg here some ships AA is over the top IE plane meets brick wall, and some ships just arent strong enough in the aa department now. Hell my Kutusov feels like it got neutered. that could use some adjustments, not the end of the world, but definitley needs looked at. I feel some of the rage I have seen in some posts is placed with good intentions, alot of these aa issues could have been hammered out on the test server before hitting live theres simply no reason they couldnt, I hate to call it out but as a former tester the reasoning given is a flat out joke, but I'll leave that there as thats simply not being constructive. torps could use a slight damage buff, the current damage makes sense for torpedo bulges but a midships hit on a dd for 1500hp?? come on guys. as well the tiny tims on midway could use some love, I dont see any real damage potential from them at the moment as they over pen practically everything they hit, but on Enterprise their like the hand of god reaching out and slapping a dd with neptunes fork. so over all I like the patch, but I do feel it needs some tweaks.

Actually think I liked the old style better. If they removed CV's from the game altogether, I wouldn't miss them. At the dock she will stay. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you post your reasons why you like the rework along with reasonable suggestions for improvementsand someone down votes you for your opinion. And people wonder why they aren't being taken seriously. Edited February 1 by JCC45 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2,576 [NGAGE] enderland07 Members 3,798 posts 8,906 battles Report post #6 Posted February 1 Try playing at TX with two average CVs on each team. Then play at TX with one or two above average CVs on each team. And, if you're really unlucky, play at TX with two unicums playing CVs on each team or just the enemy team. I am 100% convinced the people who are in support of the rework have not played much at TX in 2-CV games (or even 1 CV games, for that matter). The continual presence of CVs has destroyed the meta and quickly will lead to the same problem that PTS had - not enough players to make a decision. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His post was thoughtful and reasoned but instead of offering a response in a similar tone someone just hits the "hate" button. If you disagree with his points then why not state which parts you disagree with and offer a rebuttal? Edited February 1 by JCC45 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You see I have played with 4 cv's (2 per team) multiple times I will again state it has it's issues but for the love of god the world isnt falling, a few tweaks it will be fine. but if you feel you must move on, no ones stopping you and I'm not saying that to be rude I'm just trying to be constructive here, though I do occasionally like to toss a 30,000 gallon propane tank in the fire, I'd prefer this thread doesnt do that. I do support it but I will fact check you that I do play multiple tx games with my cv's and will continue to do so.

But hey some forget the part of these games is Team play who knew. AA in groups should always be a death bubble, solo ships should have the teeth to say approach me if you dare but tell me in history where one ship with out support solo'd waves and waves planes.

It seems like the complaints I see is that playing cv it seems like the complaint is that the aa is too strong but when playing specific surface ships people complain its too weak as the aa rework has them playing differently. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And this is exactly what I am getting at. tbh my blunt assessment for most of the hate is that the old RTS CV was superior when played in the right hands and unstoppable with the balance tipped to that players favor. Now the playing feild is even as it should be and their mad. TBH this is something that should have been done when wg changed out the camera views of artillery ships back in alpha, after realizing the same issues with their top down view.

I have noticed attacking a group of ships with planes, thats just like sticking your hand into a hornets nest, your gonna get stung as it should be, but some ships solo can barely manage to kill a plane, and thats where I'm saying some arent as strong as they should be, but solo ships should not be god teir aa either Edited February 1 by xThecanadianx 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the first day of the patch I took both Kaga and Saipan to co-op. First 10 matches were utterly horrible, I basically could not hit much, would end up on the bottom of the list, and struggle to make any difference. There is learning curve involved. After some practice I starting topping the list and getting multiple kills. Edited February 1 by Ramsalot 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow... AA feels inconsistent only because CV players can do something about it. I know AA ranges on T10 CLs, and I also have captain skill that tells me how many defensive AA has been activated around my squadron. If I see that number jump up, even before I see Minotaur in smoke, I just automatically boost the engines and dodge hard to one side, and miss murderous wall of flak. You can also drastically reduce plane speed to avoid flak while maneuvering. All that will allow you to zip around finding weaknesses in AA screen. Player that flies his squadron through the flak will get entire squadron murdered in one go and complain that AA is too strong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
