So I thought we would have made a comback with just me and a DD vs about 5 enemy ships remaining, but we just couldnt pull off the win :(

 

GG for me though, if you were there GG to you too!

Nice play, always nice to see a doomed nerfed to hell unplayable pos investment US carrier do well in a game :D I like that fire damage, you really played your bombers well. Sadly I get to grind another fighter spec now with how the Lex is. 2-0-2 the nightmare.

You don't want the 1-1-1?

very impressive CV game....Ive been thinking of starting doing a CV line myself, any tips or advice I could get would help

 

I should do a CV Guide, but havent yet.  I think Ill do a Intermediate/Advanced guide soon.

 

Ill try to start one soon maybe my experiences can help.

I hope you do, it would help me get my CV gameplay started.....which CV line would you suggest? IJN or USN?

Depends on your playstyle really and how much of a challenge you want.  I consider IJN CVs more difficult to play in certain situations, but in others USN CVs can be tricky to master as well.

 

Micromanaging lovers and if you like a large focus on torpedos then Go IJN.  Normally with IJN CVs you have good attack specialty (torps and bombs).  As you get in later tiers 9 and 10 US Cvs start to have some good attack setups.

 

With the US you specialize in bombers (late tiers) and fighters throughout the entire grind, but you get less squadrons and typically a little less micro management than your IJN counterpart. 

 

In general you get more attack chances and carry-outs than you do with your USN attacks, as with your USN attacks you have less squadrons but more planes per squadron so each run has to be effective because there isnt as many squads up to attempt to hit your target.  Also with IJN torps they cone differently than USN.  If you learn to master the IJN torpedo spread you will be extremely deadly because as they go further they narrow.  The USN CVs though have a straight line they can drop, more torpedo's in one squadron, but remember you only have 1 shot at your aim, no backup squads until they reload.

 

This is a very brief difference to help you decide.  I just play US because Im American :)

Oddly enough I played with another Essex who got a Kraken as well today. Time to get that AA spec out again. As for the 1-1-1, I have always like the ability to control the skies against the fighter heavy IJN loads. Always fun having Air Supremacy on the Ranger and watching them squirm. With the new bombs it will do well enough, though I will miss torps it is better than doing nothing.
