CV Viewer Replay - How Can You Defend This?

Today my viewers got to send in a bunch of replays on stream, so of course some troll instantly sent in their Nakhimov replay. It's funny, but also baffling to watch, because out there are actual human beings who defend this and pretend it's balanced.

[@Flamuu]

The fact that you can rack up over 200k spotting damage without even trying, just by farming whatever ship you feel like, really sums up this class. How on earth are there actual human beings out there that think this is balanced, were they dropped on their head as children?

People is not hating CV for how strong it is. People are just hate the one-sided interaction. Same as when everyone run range mod and you can't shoot back. Same as when you know exactly where submarine is but your ASW couldn't reach

[@jaywerner8415]

Actually Flamu CV has just as shit AA as any other surface ship. Only reason they kill anything is the CAP fighters. Once those run out you screwed. Best squadrons to hit CVS with are Rockets or dive bombers.

[@EvoraGT430]

[@nannan0127]

I think Defend CV is easy??Don't let the plane catch your boardside.That means the plane is trying to fly over the boardside of ship and ship should already be turning. Therefore, skilled aircraft carrier players will choose to attack when the enemy's movement is restrained by friendly artillery~

[@martynjones3978]

Now imagine a CV player like that coupled with a submarine player who is just as good!! And you can see now why people are switching off and loosing interest in the game!! I dont mind loosing or sinking if i screwed up or got beat by the better player!! When you get stupid unbalanced broken crap like this its just not fun no matter how much Vodka they think you can drink!!!

[@still_guns]

I remember way back when the CV rework was new, WG kept touting that the rework was meant to make CV's do less damage. So of course, one of the first replays many of us saw was someone breaking the all time CV damage record, doing about 100,000k more damage than the previous RTS system.

[@lost4356]

RTS is high-risk and high-reward gameplay but WG wants idiot-proof mechanic for CV.

[@MrTrool323]

With RTS CV you had the ability to instantly delete somebody with 3 torp squads or 2 AP bomb squads but you had very limited resouces as if your squad was wiped...you couldn't make the same mistake again What Wee Gee disliked is that both CV's at the start countersniped each other and whichever killed the enemy had the battle practically secured

[@petrpinc7695]

I loved RTS CVs, they weren't dull, repetitive, required some skill and yoi were a team player. Replay like this is just ridiculous beyond being funny for how out-of-touch from teamplay and overpowered it is.

I mained CVs and never touched any other class so when i finally played a different class it felt jarring, like i was playing a completely different game. the old CV system had its flaws but god damn it at least the class required skill. the main problem was the team with the better CV player won a vast majority off the time. the impact they can have now is still about the same but you're 100% ruining a couple people's day every match

Just one game in CV is enough to realise that you hurt CVs by shooting it's planes down more so than shooting at it's hull. Because CV without planes is just useless. And it doesn't get infite planes. If you don't spec into AA then I don't know what people expect. Pure immunity from attacks? Do I get that in GK when I face some DD in smoke over 6km and I don't take fire prevention? Do I get immunity when Kremlin is shooting me in Zao? No I don't, I accept that he has higher caliber and best I can do is mitigate damage, but not completly avoid it. Same is with planes, they are top gun when it comes to caliber.

[@Nutty31313]

I remember that I had a long-time standing damage record of 302k damage in Georgia, a ship I greatly love and have almost 100 battles in now, and I had to work my ass off to get that damage. My previous damage record was 298k damage in Worcester, which I got before the IFHE rework. Not that long ago, I managed to beat that 302k damage record with Nakhimov, a ship I barely play and even now still have less than 20 games on...and I smashed that damage record by 41k damage...by parking behind an island and spamming the torp and skip bombers against targets 8-12km away on the other side of the island. I mean, we still lost the battle naturally, but it felt absolutely disgusting, and compared to my previous Georgia record, I am not proud of this record at all.

[@badluckbrian46]

I love how the aiming reticle makes it look like the torpedos have a really big spread when they are actually more narrow than most ship torpedo spreads.

[@danh7411]

replay bug incorrectly displaying the reticle

[@JohnDoe-oq2fx]

As others said, but also, when you first start a torp run with planes the spread of the torps is wide, you have to fly straight at your target for awhile for it to narrow ( unlike other ship types that have fixed torpedo spreads ). Usually that means slowing your planes down ( which also increases time within AA range. )

[@EF2000Typhoon7LWA]

I think its unfair that CVs have to worry about other CVs. Maybe remove the CV from the map so that they cant get damaged at all.

[@cat-anchovy]

I would expect most Tier X submarine players would have figured out how bad an idea it is to attack one of the Cathedrals of Awesomeness.

[@alcatraz-nc2814]

Dont forget that spotting will soon (or is it now after the patch) be rewarded as if you dealt damage so if we take a game like this with 300k damage and 200k spotting, you can expect CV to be rewarded as if they did 500k more or less. CV sure gets all the benefit in the world

[@EvoraGT430]

What a HUGE coincidence. Clown classes being buffed......

[@Maikel710]

im sure they will find a way to get around that. All long time ago cv's where most of the time in the top 3 of every Game cause they done so much dmg. So WG ''nerfed'' them, since then cv's got less then half of the rewards from dmg etc cause so bad players werent in the top 3 anymore. If cv's will get so much points for spotting than the old problem will come back but maybe wg lost interest in listing to that problem. xD

The problem is the action playstyle, it is hard to balance because if AA would really stop you, you would never be able to attack. In the RTS playstyle you would care less about an attack not working because it would only be one squad of many you control. Also rts had active anti-cv gameplay with the fighters. Rts would have been balanceable, but action playstyle won't get nerfed much at this point.

[@valentinpetrovitsch9406]

it was also balanced in a way by having aa cruisers, and not unlimited planes, i mainly played kaga( one of the most disgustings CVS back than wa s0place 13 or so on that ship) but you still got fucked by aa cruisers, or by a cv who went with fighter squads and knew what he was doing.

Valid choice. Another choice is don’t go above Tier 7. The bottom line: are you having a good time playing? It is a tough time to be coming into the game, with Tier 8 being nothing but pain. While not being a particularly good player I am a veteran of many things, including the rage-uninstall. (At least 4 times, lost count.) They used to give you reasonably decent stuff to reinstall, just had to stay out a month or two. The only reason I am still in after 7 years and 15,000 games is I find away to have a good time, most games. For me this is mostly playing around Tier 6 and 7, saving my few high tier ships for special events like Ranked and Airship Escort.

Seemed like everyone kinda looked at high CV players as masters of some dark art; a rare breed of micromanager with top-notch map awareness and hands like nobody's business. They still ruined your game, usually, but there was a certain respect for a CV that could plop perfect drops on top of you. -Also DFAA and AA in general did something- Now, even a schmuck like me can put-out commanding victories in a CV. Not reliably, of course, but I can, and with only a basic grasp of the technique and theory behind playing the class. To put it simply, with my level of CV-knowledge and practice... if you transposed that to any other class, I'd struggle to do 50k at Tier VIII, yet I can put-out over 100k semi-regularly in a Tier VIII CV.

And he can go wherever he wants with his planes : AA ships or not, gathering of ships or not, his squadrons were still full at the end 3) this is the only class that doesn't lose HP and fighting power as long as you do not troll while dealing insane dmg to the enemy team. We should also take note that along losing HP, the other ships also lose their AA (against HE or rockets) which is already useless but this makes them even more vulnerable 4) they have the best scouting ability without risking anything unlike destroyers 5) Insane damage without requiring an skills : 300k while scouting and forcing ships to get into vulnerbae positions or showing their flanks to your team 6) Best long range armor : as long as you're angle and at long range, BB's AP and cruisers' HE/AP can't pen you CCL : insane damage, spotting without risking anything nor requiring any skills while preventing all the other classes to even play the game A player venting his frustration against CV

We people who play US battleships dont feel ripped off at all! lol 21 knot ships, with 0% armor vs multipurpouse CV's from Tier 3 to Tier 7 = fun and engaging gameplay :D (not to mention need to grind 300k exp with the Colorado now lmao)

[@benmo2227]

Yeah agree, i play only Richthofen and full squads are only possible in the first 5 -10minutes after that its a shit show

[@old_guard2431]

It just requires a Simple Maneuver. In this case, build for range and maneuver to park next to one of your carriers. You will be well-protected from the submarines and somewhat protected from your opponents’ planes. Not your concept of a good time? No easy answers for that one.

​@@meganoobbg3387 Playing the US ships in general makes me feel ripped off. These were some of, if not the best AA ships of their period, even the big boy BBs, yet in this game they can't do shit to a carrier.

[@MrTs7520]

@@meganoobbg3387 yes my only positive is i seem to win a lot with the ship.

[@NicktheMedic]

That looked like a lot of fun for all the other ships lol

[@habooya]

Super fair super balanced

[@TheFuzzypuddle]

Plus, the Nakimov is insane because the cycle time with rocket assisted takeoff and single run strikes. If it is able to push up closer to the battle, it strikes like a battleship reload time. Completely insane.

[@kohwai8321]

Faster bro. You can nuke a BB 100-0% in a couple of min.

[@user-si5ik5xf3m]

The damage that dude made in the battle can also be done by all the other classes. Did you know? Somewhat equal damage here. And, don't forget that both teams will have carriers. If your team is diminishing because your team's performance is overall worse. Then the carrier at the end is going to be overwhelmed by the amount of leftovers. In usual battle with carriers I try to push only when I know that CV's not targeting this way. And when I am sure that when they do, it's worth it. And don't forget. If you keep dodging from planes, though it ruins your play, it will profit them less unless you overlooked opportunity for them to cross-fire on you. They will get less damage from you, thus be distracted for profit it gives. But german bombers don't care about dodging. When trying to punish the CV as much as possible for the attack, it is beneficial only when your CV outperforms theirs.

It's stronger than the existing admiral Kuznietzow.

Man, I could play my Arkansas Beta and be just as effective against aircraft as these ships.

CV Gameplay

[@rosalina2938]

I finally did it. I de-installed the game for good. I hate WG for creating this class, and the a-hole players abusing it.

[@TalladegaNight]

Why is it when ever I play CV's put out sitting aircraft spot the entries team get 9+ spotting ribbon and end up doing 0 spotting damage cause my trams refuse to fire, and I swear the same thing happens when I play stealthy destroyers. No one shoots

[@ThroneOfBhaal]

Nice wallpaper... ;)

[@matthew713]

I uninstalled and sold my account 2 years ago because of cvs, but even watching this now I still feel an overwhelming amount of rage. I don't know how you still do it...

[@tommihommi1]

(high tier) CVs have always turned a game of 24 players into a game of 2 players and 22 victims. Total anti-design.

[@farhanaaktermuna3513]

Source of the wallpaper?

[@jamesmckenzie9551]

My last game was just a couple of months after the CV rework. Watching my Vanguard fire 4 flak puffs with 4 turrets which each spat out 44 rounds per minute of 5.25” flak reduced to 1/16th of the firepower so I could easily be farmed was when I said “I’m done”. I let realism slide a little bit, so often, but by that point, I was done. This game isn’t arcade, it’s a level beyond arcade, that tries to hide its decisions behind “realism” when it suits them, and when called out say “it’s just a game, needs to be balanced for fun,”

[@Arashmickey]

3 minutes into the game and camping by DDs successfully reduced to 0%. The math checks out.

[@FirebladeX1989]

you got a pretty cool desktop background

[@antoniosanastasopoulos176]

After watching this, I can’t blame my team for getting killed quickly at the start and the match ends in a loss before it even starts. I’ve been going back to port whenever I see a CV and sub match, just not worth wasting 10 minutes of my life to do 20k damage, be permanently spotted, and lose….and what’s worse, all the bonuses and signals that get wasted. Thank you WG

[@hades0572]

I had over 50 coop games because I did this on repeat LOL

[@yeyuan7344]

Just being curious, I would like to get this wallpaper flamu has, the question is where would I be able to get it?

[@archabe]

You know in maritime history the introduction of the carrier............ Just Trolling :)

[@sozetsukokai9327]

The worst part is that the dude playing Nakhi wasn't even trying

[@thelastholdout]

The wildest thing about this replay is that the player barely needs to bother to set up strikes properly. He doesn't need to maneuver around for optimal attack angles, dodge AA or anything like that. Just flies straight in, drops, spawns the next squadron, rinse and repeat.

[@snorkman2]

I find at T6, 1 CV per side I feel comfortable to execute a few aggressive plays here and there because of the slower planes gives you some blind time to maneover, once you hit T8 if you are center map you are being spotted by a fresh attack before the previous attack animation has finished, they are way too fast.

I am missing non mirror MM. That was something nice.

[@thesaltybrit9321]

Pretty sure Jingles reviewed this and came to the same conclusion that the players was making a point by not moving at all till really late

[@Ezway1]

3:22 WTF ???? THIS IS INSAINE !!!

[@P_o_l_a_r_i_s]

I am so glad I only have feet instead of hands. Wouldn't want to be confused with a CV player.
