how it works: "'the year of cv' and 'the end of cv' happened in 1 week"

[@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.

[@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

Dear WG. AA does not work - since you nerfed the range into the ground - there is no more the ability to cover friendly ships with your AA, unless they are less than 2 km from you ...

[@galerus3776]

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.

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.

World of Warships Official Channel Dear WG, I like the change of the CVs from 0.8.0 ... but for god's sake, do something with the bloody fighters/attack aircraft. We (DD players) can't play on peace... we are being detected like nothing, set on fire and have our engines and rudder damaged like nothing, can't hide, run and barely evade... our teams are being spotted and the directions of the fleet are shown by planes that are going too fast and too high to be affected by AA. And in some cases we see that there are CV players that can't call fighters to help even themselves. DDs or any small ship can't YOLO or go ahead alone any more because it is detected by the attack aircrafts, damaged, incapacitated and set on fire by the rockets. And finally when you try to run you are singled by the enemy ships.

[@diegoviniciomejiaquesada4754]

James Bond well, evading bombers with destroyers and cruisers was easy, you needed to go full left and when they were over you you turned rudder full right slowing down speed from full ahead to full reverse. Torpedoes were more tricky, the best technique was to face the torpedo planes or give them your aft... whichever of the 2 things you just needed to "thread the needle" between the torpedoes. Now if the torps came from your sides you needed to turn to face them ASAP, on those case turning the rudder full left or right and slowing down worked really well. After the update 0.8.0 the technic of evading torpedo bombers and dive bombers haven't changed. the problem are the fighters, rockets are harder to evade than the bombs because they spread on a circle but there are (depending of the tier and nation) a lot more. BTW... being sneaky, stealing the back of an enemy and ambushing them from behind islands is a play style, especially from tier V to VII (those are the tiers i like to play the most). Plus is not only about yoloing... a DD can go ahead, use it concealment to detect the enemy and come back.

[@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. WoW is not a boardgames so why act as such?

[@D2and2D]

Well done WG, a much more engaging update to WOWS, i used to not play my carriers much but no i do! theres less worry about fighting enemy fighters and having the rest of the squadrons stomped when you run out of them thanks to RNG. and you get to interact with the enemy ships on a better level than point, click maybe adjust attack angle and wait for RNG to sort it out.

[@kevinrcook6738]

The AA is so powerful some games you just float around with an empty carrier. This is even worse when you see players with a 70% win rate which are all known hackers they let play.

[@namiest8639]

When are carriers going to get added to consel.

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

[@Heavyshield]

I love outdate af guides!

[@gordon4672]

Will u guys do some Video on WOW blitz ? :)

[@RuneMasterKnight]

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.

[@AdamGibbyMC2012]

WG can we get an updated AA video - because its broken as hell now. Like it doesnt matter if you even attack a DM anymore! 2 attacks against an AA cruiser isnt even hard.

[@shanemartin5681]

More than half the reason I play this game was the fun of AA. Set up several ships and commanders with BFT AFT and Manual AA. Well one ship went from a 79 AA to a 52 and the big guns, 16 105s, went from 6.5km Aura to 5.2km Aura and Manual AA is a joke, not a fun one, currently.

[@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

[@viktorreznov2386]

Thanks alot war gaming, you officially ruined the game and experience for me

[@Rimtsutaka]

Wonder how it works if squadron flies near me (worcester aa build) and no planes are destroyed.

[@diamunds2580]

“How to dodge the flaks”, Haha you don’t, you just drop.

[@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.

[@colmcorbec7031]

#plottwist it doesn't. End of story.

[@SUR4415]

hahahaha... best opinion... far

[@Dragunov302]

How come none of my ships launched fighters (battleship) don’t shoot down anything now?

[@Jognt]

Yeah... I'm sure every AA crew in the past said "We hit that aircraft a bit, let's move to another one and give the poor sap a chance"

[@bladeclanhalo3]

they also didnt take seconds to damage the plane and would use over 1000 rounds just for a hit
