1,319 [SPTR] Rolkatsuki Members 27,211 posts 17,166 battles Report post #5 Posted December 13, 2020 Bring back the Bogue uptiered to tier 6 with faster aircraft servicing time. Like a US Ark Royal but not as fast as the latter since it has t5 planes not t4. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
736 [-TKS-] Merc_R_Us [-TKS-] Members 892 posts 7,009 battles Report post #6 Posted December 13, 2020 Unfamiliar with what a light aircraft carrier can do in this game. I picture something like a hybrid ship; smaller but low detectability squadrons (like 5km), lower detectability for the hull, DD level guns, no fighters.

2,680 [WPORT] Wolfswetpaws Members 7,096 posts 12,080 battles Report post #7 Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) To add to the choices, I'd like to see playable Seaplane/Flying-boat Tenders added to the game. Granted, the game features would need some work to enable their capabilities for rescue, reconnaissance, transport and anti-submarine-warfare.

855 [HELLS] GrandAdmiral_2016 Members 2,750 posts 29,441 battles Report post #9 Posted December 13, 2020 USS Wasp is the only viable candidate. She is essentially a redesigned Ranger. Put the CVLs at T7 if they ever bring back the odd-numbered tiers. This game is weird without an Essex at T9, along with a Premium counterpart (USS Franklin is my personal choice). Bogue goes at T5. A T5 premium choice should be a Casablanca class CVE, with my choice being Gambier Bay. Folks who know the history will understand my personal preferences.

(Poll will close at 16th of December 2020 at 2pm UTC) I believe they suggested all of the removed odd tier CVs would potentially be coming back a tier higher w/the other announced features eventually...but guessing those might actually be alternate tree CVs as opposed to premiums so guess that doesn't fit here so I got nothing.

986 [HC] SgtBeltfed [HC] Beta Testers 3,371 posts 13,033 battles Report post #12 Posted December 13, 2020 For the US navy, there's really only 3 options for tier 6, be it tech tree or premuim. The US just didn't build a lot of different types of CV. An Independence class. USS Wasp A pre-war or 1941/42 Yorktown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

242 [DUDS] Jake_Miller_67 Members 115 posts 8,944 battles Report post #14 Posted December 30, 2020 I’m thinking USS Nimitz (CCN-68). I was going to suggest the Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78), but keeping with WG’s idea of “fair and balanced” CV’s, I feel the Ford is a better fit in Tier VIII. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
