(They Do Exist) ...has been "under construction" in the "Naval Base" Port since that port option was introduced...a few years ago :-0 SPOILER: I hear they are about finished w/it finally :-) BTW...that is the same dock yard that the PR is being built in...the sub has been removed though in the PR iteration...but any type of ship can have a dock yard type of event in the future in that same dock yard. The PR is in the BB bay...but has a much worse view of the sub bay which is why i screen shotted it from the DD bay.

They won’t, thanks to the fact a sub has to put their actually ship / HP on the line in order to attack. Meanwhile a CV can sit at the farthest possible point from the enemy ships, and can hit any ship they wish all while often suffering no damage in return. 9 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes and no, if CV squadrons are destroyed they can regenerate. But if my weapons on my BBs, CAs, or DDs are destroyed then they are gone until my next battle. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The respawing planes are planes that were on board the CV, brought up from reserve or repaired. If you do the math on respawning a CV will get to use in the time a battle lasts about as many planes as they carried. All respawning does is help ensure that a CV isn't deplaned early in the match. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rarity of losing weapons dies depend on modules captain skills, the ship, and the weapons type. Like even with PM and main armaments mod I frequently end up with torpedo tubes destroyed on some of my ships which can greatly eat into my combat effectiveness and damage / ships sunk scores. And I understand about the deplaning and respawning thinking being just the planes they would have carried onboard anyway, just as our not runnng out of shells in at least many cases is just using the ammo we might have carried. Although some ships I doubt carried as many shells as get us d in battles, and know for a fact ships did not carry so many reloads of torpedoes lol. But in the game it rough equates to that. But the thing is if you count the planes as basically being your CV’s “ordnance”, that would make the launch deck the primary armament, and it’s unable to be put out of commission. Not trying to complain or anything, as I understand that CVs are the way they are etc. I am just pointing out how CVs could remain the greater “OP Menace” in the eyes of many players even after subs arrive. Personally I just carry good AA, dodge CVs attacks, and if it’s convent I can sink CVs, but if they are out of my way I leave them alone until later as I typically have better things to do than go off CV hunting.

Like some rocket patterns can be really tough to avoid every single rocket and can really hurt your DD HP and even destroy armaments. And unlike Subs, a CV can send aircraft to scout the entire enemy battle line, keep certain choice targets perma spotted, and even aid in attacking / sinking targets. Now yes a DD can be a really good scout / spotter for their team, but their abilities to do so are limited to having to wait several minutes before lighting up entire enemy battle line if possible, plus depending on map topography, smoke screens, radar, and if enemy COs or gunboats intercepts your DD early then you don’t get the play spotter / scout.

That's a French 2 turret BB...w/really big 4 barrel turrets that are easy to hit & easy to damage/destroy...especially if any BB knows to aim right between the 2 (works best w/the bigger calinbur 1s of course)...it's the price they pay for faster reloads & speed boost & a terrible option for ranked play if you aren't extremely experienced playing it & you happen into a bunch of other BB players that are. But he can take solace in the fact that the 2 shells that took out his turrets didn't do any damage to his ship even though they counted as penetrations :-) See...he showed you...he caused you to have zero damage totals on 2 different penetrations...who's laughing now?
