[@mayshiratoshi6390]

At the first design RNCV is for flood/fire dps damage. But got hard neft on that cuz WG said it op. (But it's still true. That it's kind of op when came out.) Then they release this. The better version of "flood/fire dps damage" cuz it still have so much anoying raw dpm (cuz they attack only need one strike)

[@patricknguyen7461]

Taking to account that non of your airplane got shot down

[@TallEdge90]

Yes it is right they have no hp

[@Talguy21]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but these seem to be pretty good at harassing enemy CVs with damage. Their reasonably high alphas, long attack range, and single-use squadrons mean that the enemy auto-fighters won't get much of a chance to lock on and chew up your planes for the trouble. This is ofc ignoring that the planes are pretty slow so going for a CV (i.e. sniping them early) is probably a waste of time and effort.

[@mikkodoria4778]

You can only do that up to tier 6, because remember the aa accuracy on cv is %100 , and tier 8 above will shred youre planes, maybe except the tier 8 ijn.

[@almightydeity]

@@mikkodoria4778 Not true. The skips on Chkalov and Nakhimov are ~6km and accurate at that range. They're reliable at efficiently harassing CVs without major losses. Torps are also long range but exceedingly slow unless at minimum arming distance. Those may also make it through with 1-2 losses on most CVs as long as you boost through fighter.

[@ruffianeo3418]

Serov vs ranger on average map size - it takes 3 good sorties to kill the ranger. Which translates to around 4 minutes. Its fun but not sure if it is the most effective use of time for the first 4 minutes of a battle.

if there was no MAchin gun thing in rocket plane, this tech tree will sure be as par with Hakuryuu

[@Black-1ce]

Haku is bad now. Most times my squadrons get deleted before I even get to finish my attack run, and that's with careful flying like using planes early before using them on enemies to minimise losses later and avoid having 2 planes left only 5 minutes in lol. The rocket plane rework honestly made rocket planes useless in TX

[@underviv64]

So it’s a more versatile fdr Instead of hovering around for a bit inbetween big strikes You just have the ability to change your armament and position on the map between each strike. Maybe the spotting potential is reduced?

[@Dominus_Potatus]

just use FT for spotting. This CV breaks everyanti air mechanism. All anti air mechanism is to deter 2nd or 3rd strikes. imagine, kaga is releasing 6 torpedoes, who cares about paper planes?

At least shooting the planes down lowers the damage protentional, more then i can say for every other Carrier line. God i hope they change them over to this style of attack, it just feels so much better on both ends.

[@alpha1games275]

you do realize that the other cvs also loose damage in subsequent runs, really if look at it closer the russian cvs barely ever take AA damage thanks to the extended range of their squadrons even their rocket planes have 3-4 km range thats half the AA range of most ships (t10)

[@briappa6670]

It's great that they're adding soviet carriers. I've been waiting for them since I started playing the game, though I tought that's not gonna happen because I heard soviets didn't have many Aircraft carriers. In fact they have 1 at the moment.

with the skip bombs for dd's try to line up the very first line with their ship so the bombs dont bounce and just fall onto the dd

[@fignap8668]

They are OP at dealing damage, but there is also a big BUT. The bad thing is hp of squadron, and it's really big spot range. So any ship will have enough time to ask their CV to put fighters or call by themselves, or just prepare their AA range. If you are new player i don't recommend you those CV's.

[@giantdwarfulf]

you really don’t need the squadron hp because you only have one drop. AA is designed in a way to prevent oder deter any 2nd, 3rd and 4th drop. The ship’s fighters only attack after the first drop and CV‘s fighters attack a bit sooner but with fast planes you can still outrun them and make your drop. Unless you don’t run into flak which generally isn’t too hard, there is no chance to prevent that drop. So if all the damage from your squadron is in the first drop which is almost impossible to prevent, does that sound fair and balanced to you?

[@fignap8668]

@@giantdwarfulf but bruh just compare the squadron hp of KAGA and Chkalov. And you think that enemy ships are always alone with bad AA? They usually swim together to counter CV's.

2 steps from hell i guess but which tracks?

[@tremox9786]

Interesting, RU CVs might be real potent against DDs with their tight torp spread and low arming distance skip bombers. Cruiser and BBs might be harder to strike without losing planes before.

[@almightydeity]

That's the thing. Both Chkalov and Nakhimov have an extra skip which puts them right around 6km max skip. Their skips can literally hit outside of most ships' range, or so quickly after entering that AA rarely has a chance to fire. 3-5 hits is pretty easy, and high cruisers and BBs can still catch a good distance between the skips. Torps are tight but will be very slow with a long arming distance. You shouldn't expect to nail DDs with them, but hitting slow cruisers or BBs should be reliable assuming they're going max speed. Chkalov's standard bombs are ideal to hit DDs hard. For low-AA DDs any skip can be directly dropped as well with very little lead.

[@tremox9786]

@@almightydeity 11:43 Looks like a max skip distance of around 4 km with engine boost in Chaklov, which is still impressive. But Immelman has the same distance and you still take AA dmg with her while striking. The more interesting thing is the first skip by around 1 km, which allows you to immediately strike DDs when they open.

[@almightydeity]

@@tremox9786 It's not, it's 6km. I have the ship. They're 6km skips and they're fantastic at chunking CVs and BBs at that distance. Their skips are hard to land on DDs due to their height and variance but high ships will still reliably be hit. For DDs skips should be treated like regular DBs.

RU CVs are pretty weak IMO. You'll be down 2-3 planes before you can accurately strike the target and that takes out ~30% the alpha already. and any player with just a little bit of turning can avoid about half of the alpha. As a BB main I find out RN and RU CVs are just an annoyance most of the time unlike the real threats when a Hakuryu/Midway/MVR decides to focus you. I played Serov for a while and it's just underwhelming and can provide very little influence to the battle except for occasionally jackpot run into a camping, broadside, no support nearby ships. I'd pick Ryujo over Serov 100% of the time.

[@osito2dancer]

I think Serov has a bigger potential to face T8 than Ryujo, since the 1 strike alpha is not bad. You have to take advantage of the speed and distance, prediction is the key, specially if you are supporting an attacking ship.

@@drakeconsumerofsoulsandche4303 this is just the "just dodge" argument again.

[@Schorch1962]

Toptier, why putting water on the mills of the "CV OP" crybabies? Hitting standing ships without AA is unrealistic. Even Bots use sector prio now, and they dodge not only with rudder, but with stopping and accelerating. Try to hit a human played Huanghe with Serow that hard or just a DD with the rockets, with luck you´ll score 1 - 3 hits and lose some planes before the drop. Played Serow last evening in cw and it is not the easy way with her. There are 2 Huanghe, they have smoke all the time and with a DD as spotter they shoot down many planes before the drop. The problem is not outplaying the bursts, just the pure DPM that can´t be avoided. I had the "pleasure" to lose 1 rocket plane to a Hatsuharu by just spotting her for 2 or 3 seconds. Torps are slow and have a very long time before the warheads are ready, so they´re easy to dodge and most time only 1 or 2 will hit. My average damage output was a little higher compared to Weser or Furious, my spotting damage a little less. But my team said they´ve noticed no difference in their gameplay between Weser and Serow. I noticed that Serow is easier to deplane compared to Weser because there´s no pre-drop possible and Serow has slower and lower HP planes. Try a single, fully armed Cleveland Bot with your tier 8 soviets, after that, tell us how OP Cleveland AA is 😂
