[@denniswiggins3816]

my biggest complaints are the fighter consumable on carriers. It makes it really hard to actually provide cap for anything other than your own CV. 60 second cap is not sufficient. I think when activated on your attack squadron you should be able to manually assign them to defend a specific ship, area, or escort an attack squadron. They should persist until they run out of ammo, get destroyed or are bingo on fuel. I don't buy that they run out of either in 60 seconds of non-combat circling. I do find the auto launch of cap when your CV is spotted to be quite realistic and useful. I just feel that CV game play should be just as much about fighting the enemy CV's squadrons as it is attacking enemy ships. Also dedicated AA cruisers and DD need to be rewarded much more for shooting down planes! Right now there is not enough reward for escorting vulnerable capitol ships with your AA cruiser/DD's.

From CV A/C sortie... Plane destroyed... your down 1 Damaged: time penalty for relaunch repair and rearm Have a min setting on how many " rearmed and ready for combat planes" you select for an attack but can ignore ... but you will have fewer effective planes.

[@Galba89]

The old system was so very different, with a limited number of planes, an active fighter squadrone, and a trs like control on the map, rather than 3rd person pilotaction and therefore the capability to launch all three squadrones together. Most of us miss that old system.

nice, the only reason for playing CV is now gone... I've tried the new CV and I prefer the action of other ship types. I play this game for a full fledged warship battle after all, not a half asses plane crashing simulator. Strategic RTS like gameplay that the previous CV offered was on par with what I expected from this class of ship when fighting the other type of warships. I can do what the CVs do at battle of midway or other WW2 real battles, do a real time maneuver to dodge torpedo bombers or any other kind of airplanes while my attack squadron launches a surveillance mission or attack the enemies WITH ESCORTS to maintain air superiority. But now I'm playing as a crashing plane that can't even do kamikaze attacks facing unrealistic OP AA guns in an unrealistic AA guns utopia while my ship blindly move towards the incoming torpedoes uncontrollably... great! 10/10 very realistic

I find it a bit ridiculous that AA acts like a Damage over Time (DoT) instead of you know getting hit actually hurts you and punishing if you are not using strategy and flying in a straight line. Instead the ships now that have semi-decent AA/Flak can just chew through over half your squarden regardless of their positioning, and maneuvering only really works on Flak. Good luck getting through that mass in even remotely good condition.

@@ghs01965 after the hotfix I had to use them. And I learned how to bomb. Ofc I need more practice, but HE bombs are great. AP are even harder , since they have to be dropped from high altitude to citadel. If you drop them from low altitude it only makes regular pens or overpens. Though the high altitude sometimes makes you miss the target when it maneuver. So you should find "sitting" objects like Richelieu, Yamato, Musashi, Izumo , Nelson, Dunkerque or other CV .

And my ship even though it has tons of AA stations does not fire at the enemy planes automatic at all.. I checked the system was on by pressing the P key which turned off the AA, so I know it was on! And I not only been attacked by red enemy fighter and bombers and even torpedo planes in battle with a aircraft carrier I even yesterday had green our side planes attack me and they on our side? None of my AA guns fired and I can't even target any either? So they really need to have a clear simple full guide with videos to cover all the actions and upgrades! I even had trouble even picking which ship in the tech tree to have? It said must research the modules 1st to use that ship? Trouble is, lots of times the clicked on module will not have the research button on it to be able to research the module? Some will some won't... so without the research of them I can't get the ship in the next level. Great game but lots of problems.

I think you need to rework on how fighter works, it is way too easy to shake them off, even if they caught the squadron, the damage they dealt are not better than ship AA, it kinda doesn't make sense how Carriers cannot control air anymore and protect allies from strikes because of this.

[@Scoutboe]

If you have *enough* constant DPS, the whole squadron evaporates because it's divided among all the planes in range. If you have [*enough - 1*] dps, no planes get shot down because it's divided among all the planes in range and they escaped with red hp. It's so frustrating to do massive AA damage but actually not shooting any of them down. Some penalty for heavily damaged planes?

This is a very enjoyable update! not without some minor problems, but really nice all the same! keep up the good work.

[@pilotpug]

I'd get into this game if the mechanics were more like Battlestations Midway or Battlestations Pacific where an aircraft (squadron) is an aircraft (squadron) and doesn't stick to such strict and weird methods of operation. I am not talking about individually piloting aircraft but their overall squad mechanics and capabilities. Dive bombers will have crap air to air performance but could still down fighters. Aircraft take time to take/off and land and can't do so at the same time. You can also have multiple squadrons in the air at the same time. And certainly stuff like "fighters can shoot down as many bombers as there are fighters" mechanic. Or "returning aircraft can't be detected" or "fighters patrol the area where they are summoned". Like, wth? Any aircraft (with forward firing weapons) should be able to at least attempt to shoot down any other or number of aircraft. Returning aircraft can of course be detected and fighters can fly further than the 2 square miles they were summoned at.... This is not something I'd want to spend money on, was really hoping this would have more sensible mechanics and not something that at best represent the mechanics of some board game where arbitrary workings are created as a substitute of impossible mechanics to incorporate to approximate real life as much as possible since it is a board game.

i find these videos a bit disappointing. not that they are done poorly at all. but the title is a bit misleading to a really inexperienced player. the title should be how to increase your skill. not HOW IT WORKS. what keys are used to do what? and when? choosing sectors. how to you activate the various tools you discuss? how does one select guns? ammo? how does one summon aircraft? the narrator talks about "all the tools available to you". how does one learn what they are and HOW THEY WORK? and so on and so forth. i have only 20 or so battles under my belt at this time so i am not really qualified to have much of an opinion, nor do i even know what questions to ask, so please excuse me. i fully understand it takes 100s even 1000s of battles before most people have a clue. i am going to play the heck out of my bottom tier ships until i feel like i am accomplishing something with them and understand why. thank you!

is it me or did everyone have gotten VT fuzes? i thought they were only use by the US and British which is way there AA fire is so effective and they took great care not to let them fall to the Axis force during WW2.

[@Tankdestryer1]

We dont like the Auto use of the Damage control party!

[@Ralathar44]

Then give back the 5 second fires, 30 second floods, and 60 second DCP coverage. You can't have the massively increased protections and have it manual both. CVs are nearly immune to DOT now. They took 24% hp from a single fire pre-rework for comparison.

oh Man the carrier rework was great! lol So glad so much time is being spent on explaining it. If only damage repair worked so hard in the game

[@leehongjin6884]

British Carriers! I hope the Blackburn Firebrand doesn't suck like in War Thunder

[@demusskye27]

I'm a CV player and I don't like the part that the CVs have an aircraft factory inside. It is really disadvantage for enemy's. They only have limited consumables. I miss the old mechanic that has limited aircraft that will make us more careful when attacking enemy ships.

[@xXE4GLEyEXx]

getting deplaned is a thing again since the hotfix.... not sure If I am happy for that... but it gets hard to do well specially in ships like Saipan

[@adrianlugenschlund2457]

What music did you use for the video. It sounds familiar to the music from BBCs Sherlock.

[@Theokondak]

Amazing job guys. Just started playing the game and I love it.

[@yannkom3357]

I have Midway and i think this new is great

[@nealerscxz966]

Balanced, I liked it... Let's play

[@PaperiLiidokki]

Maybe a slight nerf to AA dmg as it was recently upped from what it used to be and buff the HP and Armor of planes and i think it might be balanced, i use the term here loosely since there is going to be ppl who just hate and say remove CV from game. But how about adding a altitude option for the planes? That would give you more chance to play with cover provided by islands as AA no longer shoots through them, you could make you're aproach undetected, then take altitude and make a swift strike with out exposing you're planes for that continuous AA dmg and since CV can't really do huge amounts of dmg at a time i might work, the highest DMG i have manage from a single strike is with T8 Sexy lexys dive bommers for a 13k dmg and maybe a fire or two resulting dmg con and giving me a possibility to dot them but it's hard to do with same squadron due to AA dmg and coming at them with a new one cuts away the potential time of DMg overtime, that 13k from a dive bommer strike isn't much different from when a T8 or T10 BB scores couple of citadels for big dmg spike

[@Shawn72532]

Just out of curiosity cause I don’t think I heard it mentioned. Are anti aircraft gun like secondaries as in they can be destroyed reducing the aa effectiveness on wow legends?

[@brettglover135]

not sure if you can answer this, but I wanna ask anyway, how far down can anti-aircraft guns go?

[@Wisewolf_of_Avalon]

At least the Akizuki actually functions as an AA ship now. Arguably too well, but it can actually do what it was designed for.

[@jankutac9753]

How come the AA is so strong on higher tiers? A bit overpowered? When playing level 4, my Langley planes could fly 3 attack runs. On level 6, my Ranger planes barely survive 1 attack run

Grazie per o sottotitoli in italiano!
