Murmansk Floatplane

[crzyhawk]

I'd like the option to choose a fighter instead of the spotter.  I imagine the spotter's only in game because it is the only Soviet plane in game, but meh.  I'd by far prefer the fighter with extra duration to the bonus range from the spotter.  Gimme a lend-lease US plane!

You want the best part about the murmy replaced with a useless fighter? To each their own i guess.

 

I dont see why they cant allow any ship that mounts a scout plane by default to switch to a fighter (opposite is too gamebreaking on high-tier cruisers)

I dont think it's the best part of the murmansk.  I'm rather fond of it's nice AA suite and rudder shift time, not to mention greater range than the Omaha.  I like the float fighter because it stays in the air longer, and gives me more time with a DD popper in the sky.

It does have greater range than the Cleveland. For extra giggles stack the +20% range tier 4 captain skill with the scout plane.

I agree.  Would love to trade out the useless short duration spotter that just messes up my ability to aim for a fighter that can actually hang around to assist me spotting DDs and kill enemy planes and disrupt air attacks.

Ehhh - you should really only use it to extend your range. 20% range buff is worth a t4 captains skill...a fighter can be usefull vs torp bombers...but you are a nimble CA....torp planes should not be a problem to dodge in the least. It's on of the hardest ships in the game to hit with torps that isnt a DD.

[crzyhawk]

I can't hit anything at long range anyways.  I'd prefer to have a longer duration scout for popping DD's.  I also dislike the camera change perspective.

[Sierra1968]

The camera perspective messes me up too.  What's the point of having extra range, if you can't hit anything with it.  Throwing in the elevated Z axis screws everything up for me.

I've sunk a few boats with that spotter plane , I particularly like shooting at BBs sitting in there Cap with the spotter plane on the other side of the Island out of visual ,usually takes about 10 hits to get them to move there burning boat , just a little payback , once you get good at shooting with spotter plane it's a menace ... Many games down the road you get a fighter to go along with spotter
