Check out iChase's latest vid; they're pretty powerful still. It's nice that they actually compensated the USN CVs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

10 Sir_Arty Members 118 posts 2,308 battles Report post #7 Posted February 24, 2016 I'll say this much. When I see a US CV on my side, I know the enemy is going to have a hard time using their torpedo Bombers and Dive bombers. When I see a US CV on the enemy's side, I don't expect support from any CV on my team. I can not say either for the Japamese CVs, US CVs are EXTREMELY important Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

797 [PSV] Personator Privateers 5,523 posts 6,129 battles Report post #10 Posted February 24, 2016 I'm still wondering what a high "tire" CV looks like. It's just ONE spelling error. If anything's hard to spell (so far from what he's posted), it's "sphinx". Don't nitpick, and that's a fail at trying to be sarcastic. I'll say this much. When I see a US CV on my side, I know the enemy is going to have a hard time using their torpedo Bombers and Dive bombers. When I see a US CV on the enemy's side, I don't expect support from any CV on my team. I can not say either for the Japamese CVs, US CVs are EXTREMELY important Wut? IJN CVs are "EXTREMELY" important too. There's just one major difference between the 2 lines: one is fighter-heavy emphasized while the other is bomber-heavy emphasized. Also, I find this to be extremely stupid. A snapping turtle vs a lizard? WG needs to just balance out the 2 to equal squads. It's fun on the USN end when you see IJN but it's horrifying when you see USN in IJN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

519 BossmanSlim Members 1,549 posts 5,319 battles Report post #18 Posted February 24, 2016 USN CVs are not pointless. They are annoying or trollish, but not pointless (tier 4 to 8). Annoying - strike configuration where you spend a fair amount of your time trying to dodge enemy fighters before charging to a capture point once all your planes are dead, upside is you can potentially get a lot of exp Trollish - air superiority configuration where you shoot down all the enemy planes, spot DDs and hopefully have enough DBs left to do some damage, upside is you get to be confident in that you neutered the enemy CV, but know you will have to play 2-3x the number of games because shooting down planes doesn't pay.

797 [PSV] Personator Privateers 5,523 posts 6,129 battles Report post #19 Posted February 24, 2016 true, us high tier cvs are fine except lexington, mid tier and low tier need love. Jap high tier are OP compared to usn CVs I wouldn't say that IJN high tier are OP compared to USN, because they have less plane per squad. Even if they have more torp squads, it's probably harder because squads of 4 are easier to shoot down than squads of 6. However, in reality, I think it's the opposite. And yes, mid tiers need love (Bog - Ranger) Langley is stupid right now. Don't know if it's good or bad, but I think it's even. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BUT, the USN CVs get the buff to their DBs. So all in all, it seems balanced in terms of ship damage. Though it may be more RNG-based, USN DBs still have great dispersion so it's fine.
