I said good thing I'm in a DD so you CV [edited] can't do crap And then 2 CV players started talking smack about my DD and then eventually, they sent 5 squadrons at me with rockets, dive bombers and torps . The last torp was done when I was facing a Gneiseinau and vulnerable so I got sunk. To add insult to injury, one of the enemy CV players said "How do you like the crapI've done ???" That's when I completely lost it. Instead of getting mad, I decided to get even and get back with my T7 CA with high alert AA. For 2 games I cou;dn't find a single CV. And in both games, my CA got sunk by enemy BBs. This is just impossible. 4 6 2 6 17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2,839 [SIDE] thebigblue Members 4,939 posts Report post #5 Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) You ever met Great Blasto? You guys would be famous together!! In a good way. Interesting note. Had a game tonight with a Hak on each team. I got chain radared in Oster and deleted midway. I lurked and watched various team mates do what they do. The carriers both seemed to be quite decent. Seems to spread out strikes and, ours at least, responded to calls for spotting pretty readily. At least one bomb or torp hit on every run against the cruisers and BB. Top score went to a Gearing on our team and a Daring on theirs. I think both carriers were 4th or 5th on respective teams.

1,627 CommodoreKang Beta Testers 3,497 posts 7,402 battles Report post #6 Posted July 1, 2020 The bad news is that your experience is exactly what WG wants you to do. Some percentage of new players buy a premium during all that fun and engagement. Before they quit. And then you got the lifers and the collectors who will put up with pretty much anything. The good news is that WG has stated they will never do a filter or a no cv option just like they said they'd never ever introduce subs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
616 [NOKAP] Bortt Members 746 posts 24,841 battles Report post #7 Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) There’s never going to be a CV filter because there won’t be a BB filter and a DD filter, etc. WG needs to fix the CV-DD interaction. There’s a lot of things that are implemented for game play purposes. While CV’s to an extent are good for the game and add some aspects that can’t be had otherwise, the way they completely neuter DD’s needs fixing. In the same way there’s little chance a Fletcher can sink a Yamato in real life with 5” guns alone but can in this game, something needs to be done for gameplay purposes.

They each fill a necessary role in the capture flag dynamic at the core of the game. CVs aren't really necessary and detract severely from the core game play. Probably not gonna be a filter per se. Call it a premium game mode... 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then, got tag-teamed by two CV's and tied-up their squadrons for at least 5 attack runs. Sparing your team-mates the attentions of the CV's. The CV's didn't sink you. A surface ship sunk you, a BB with with a torpedo sunk your DD? Or was it a gun salvo? Then, after the match you decided that your karma should be in a position to serve-up some damage to other CV's who had no idea what had happened to you. And Karma basically said, "Nope, you need to reflect upon this and reach a state of harmony before proceeding along the path to enlightenment", eh? The impossible apparently was possible. :-) Whether we are allies or opponents, I hope we meet in a match. Why? Well, to make great drinking stories like this one, together.

In other words, If you're going to put your money where your mouth is make certain you're not talking out of your BTW getting pwned isn't the same as being bullied and you sir were PWNED!! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You completely lost it because you said something completely untrue to somebody, (why would you think being in a DD would save you from a CV, when DDs are their priority target?) and they showed you how wrong you were, and then threw a variation of your own words back at you?

2,139 [JEDI-] xalmgrey Members 2,770 posts 8,551 battles Report post #25 Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) I did have one ranked battle where a DD called me out in my CV by saying "CV players are the type of people who wear masks in their car while driving" before match start. I didn't honestly know whether or not to be offended, but guess who died first? Smack talk backfires so often, its rather funny.
