what thread.   also i hope this an april fools joke no way these patch notes are real

[hiroshi_tea]

Usn Bomb fire chance is like 158%. I'm pretty sure the new base 148% won't hurt that much

well, to be fair, those bombs getting the nerf hit for 10,000 per squadron against CVs.

[BlazerSparta]

What, so you're saying massive alpha with DBs + flooding + spotting + best survivability in the game isn't enough?

its to bad CV rushing ins't viable in most games.

u don play CVs so please u should play these first and talk 

[Parker_xgps]

seriously.

 

My dd's get 80% percent of their life taken by alpha and it's not enough?

 

(one squadron btw if bottom tier)

I don't know what times you play at, but there seems to be a flood of noob T7+ CVs out there these days, with noob AA cruisers on their team.

And no, I don't mean those bots that send everything to the center of the map.

every time i play CV there is always a cruiser or a us battleship guarding the carrier's.  i wouldn't even rush cv's anyway if i could i would much rather help out my team directly by going after destroyer's or battleships first.  

 

 

regardless though its not a massive nerf,but it does hurt the ability to stack dot damage when RNG bombs give u the middle finger and most of them miss.

12k is a lot, fire or not. Hey that rhymed

"After a rebalancing, we have removed 1 torpedo bomber squad from USN carriers and replaced it with a dive bomber squad to make them dive bomber focused. Dun worry tho, IJN retains 12 torpedo bombers due to flavor."

-fast forward-

"We are nerfing USN carrier dive bombers."

Tier 9 and 10 USN CVs were making IJN CVs look bad by doing a similar amount of damage, we are taking steps to correct this mistake. - WG

The nerf is irritating for Lexington-Midway, but I cannot for the life of me know why they want to nerf Bogue-Ranger.... Zuiho is more useful even against Air Superiority Bogue, Ryujo compares very, very favorably to Independence and Hiryu takes a dump on the Ranger...

This guys is like everywhere and extremely against CV

 

He is almost fanatic about deleting CV

[iHaveNoIntelligence]

Even though I'm IJN CV player, I really have to admit that last nerf was already enough nerf for USN CV....

Well he makes a lot of valid points.

[Madwolf05]

USN carrier did damage once in battle comrad. We're taking steps to correct issue.

Sure he does, but that doesn't mean that he has the right to run everywhere around offending CV captains

[SneakHayabusa]

I've played enough games against CVs (as IJN CV as well) and have not found the 1 less TB to be a big nerf as their new DBs do massive damage before the fires start. I can easily watch a Lexington hit a NC with 1 squad and take down 8k of his health while 2 more DBs and his TB move in. It's very good for DoT damage. Idk what the fire % is atm so will have to see before/after nerf to get a better idea. Will still work on USN CV, it's just that CV gameplay is so boring that even with IJN I have to force myself to play it

Why? This is just a weak form of appealing to authority.

 

I'm perfectly capable of looking at a class and judging it without playing it.

 

I can look at the server average stats, and see that Midway is the ONLY ship with an average damage over 100k

 

I can see that Midway, despite having the highest average damage, also holds the highest average survival rate, more than 2% greater than the #2 (also a CV, colour me surprised), Hakuryu, and a little more than 20% higher than the most survivable non-CV.

 

I can see Midway leading all the T10s in terms of win rate, KDR, and ship kills. Midway loses in plane kills only to Hakuryu.

 

Midway also has more players than Hakuryu, so the idea that Midway succeeds only because a few skilled players use it falls through.

 

It is blatantly obvious that midway, despite the loss of a TB squadron, is still brokenly OP. I think Midway will be perfectly fine with a small nerf to its base fire chance. You'll only be lighting 2 fires a drop instead of 3.

No, it's just a basic thing and being polite about where and when to argue with people.

 

e.g. you don't go to funeral and start arguing about that dead person's deed
