Its slow going in coop. In one battle, I swear it was only counting fire damage as spotting damage. has anyone else noticed that? Yes, I know its coop, but I didn't want to bring my carriers into random when I am just ok as a carrier driver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With less players shooting less targets, you get way less spotting damage in Co-op. If you want that sweet Spotting Moolah from a CV, you have to play randoms. It's practically mandated for spotting. Also, if you want help with Carriers, just go to @Femennenly's stream, and she'll give you all the answers you need. -Shrayes Edited September 23, 2020 by Shrayes_Bhagavatula Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm fairly sure Fem doesn't play the reworked carriers. Ahskance's stream is the place to go for reworked CVs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4,112 [TARK] Daniel_Allan_Clark Members 7,331 posts 2,837 battles Report post #7 Posted September 23, 2020 The trick to farming spotting damage. Fly towards the flank with unspotted enemy battle fleet. Deploy fighters 7.5-7 km from the nearest cruisers or battleships (you will see them before this). Your team farms the spotted ships for the duration of your fighter consumable. Profit. You should be getting about equivalent spotting damage as your average damage inflicted. Sometimes the stars align and you can get monster spotting damage. I've got over 200k spotting damage in a tier X battle in my Lexington once... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem w/spotting damage is once the ships spotted by you fire their guns they become spotted by everybody else & you stop getting spotting damage...except from the very far back snipers...& that spotting damage is split between you & whoever else is spotting them after they fire.
