In either case, it's stupidly hard to achieve. Edited September 20, 2016 by MrDeaf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
964 [PLPT] SergeantHop Members 4,435 posts 6,599 battles Report post #5 Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) Not really. It's for shooting down 50% of the entire enemy team's air wing. Including all catapult aircraft. Ryujo has 48 aircraft and Hiryu has 72, for a total of 120, meaning you would have had to shoot down 60 planes for just that, and that's not including the cruisers and battleships. A four CV game is not the place to earn Clear Skies unless you're in an NC and the enemy carriers are only targeting you. In non-carrier ships the only kills that count towards Clear Sky's are one that occur while an enemy squadron has been manually designated by you. They removed this requirement like 6 patches ago at least. Edited September 20, 2016 by SergeantHop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's about time WG fixed it by lowering the requirement to 35%. The easiest way to do it is in low tiers with something like a Texas. Or an AS Bogue. My buddy farms them in the latter.

My buddy farms them in the latter. Okay, let me put it this way. I think the achievement is pretty damn stupid, when you cannot do it in AA ships at every tier, except the ones that don't see CVs. And, to that end, Gneisenau is the best AA platform in T7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's about time WG fixed it by lowering the requirement to 35%. its not that hard especially at low tier when cv's have literally no res. i've seen a fighter build Bogue get clear skies in like 2 minutes of a game. i don't play low tier that often but im sure its not that hard i usually get it it in my Saipan and fighter build Hiryu a lot. this would be the worst one with no clear skies. the harder achievements for me to receive would be liquidator,witherer,die-hard,solo-warrior,kraken,unsinkable.

Yeah, but I don't want to play Bogue, or CV at all, if I can help it. Why shouldn't I be able to earn Clear Skies with my Gneisenau? Why shouldn't you be able to earn Clear Skies with your Saipan? Because the requirements are [edited]stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
