ReimuBakarei's CV Academy: Episode 1 - Carrier Builds [Rework Ver.]

[@Jakesmusings]

Really glad I found your channel. I have focused on learning CVs since no one else in my clan wants to. honestly I don’t blame them, CV’s seem to get a lot of hate and nerfs and I am so far not having much fun. I feel like I can lose an entire squadron in one run and don’t do anywhere near the damage I can do with cruisers in Co-Op. I don’t play Random because of the hate.

[@Lunethia]

Just mute the chat and all the hate will be gone. Just play the game to have fun, not to get yelled at. :) Although learning the class in coop first is very commendable!! :) It's actually not that easy to master. Just easy to use casually. But you can expect to get better over time, just keep at it. I can really recommend Reimu's CV Academy. A really good series of videos he has on his channel! :) PS: You can disable the chat in the "Controls" options on the bottom right, if i am not mistaken.

I really enjoy the graff.

finallyyy i was looking for a KZbin Channel that dont Talk shit about CVs

[@paulnola-v2f]

Thx for this video! It has helped so much. I'm relatively new to CVs. Your suggested builds are working well for me. A question - how do I use the plane heal? I just got my 1st T8 (Parseval). Do I use it on an attack run and my planes are getting shot up? Or when my squadron is en route to the target? Or returning to the CV?

[@ReiYukihyo]

you can use it to push through the AA to get the strike off or you can hold it and wait to use it while turning around for the chain strike

[@armanhadi777]

Such an informative video 👏 👏. Thanks.

[@TheStarforce2]

do you have any advice for edenburgh or baltimore. Im lucky to break 10-20k dmg per round, getting repeatedly blapped from across the map, angle and psoition does nothing, 1 shell, half health gone. WHen I play against these ships they wittle me down and my shots do nothing to them. I repeatedly say my rng is perma broken. How can these ships survive my attacks but I cant survive anything in these games with the very same ships. Ive hit baltimores and eddies full on with BB ap and done barely a scratch. Im so flustrated. ANy help on how to play these?

[@charlesandrews8680]

Nice Video, Thank You

[@shyuugaheero2614]

Thank you. Dma recommended you. What do you recommend for modules?

[@ReiYukihyo]

the generic build works investing everything into planes. slot 3 and 4 are your choice. slot 5 being plane regen then slot 6 into speed. can't go wrong with that

[@shyuugaheero2614]

@@ReiYukihyo thank you. I went back and watched the original video too.

[@CynicallyObnoxious]

Whats your thoughts on Flak Reduction since it seems to be more accurate

[@Magick_-lx7dm]

But investing that 4 points will mean 4 points less to invest in other useful things. And even with this skill, you cannot eat much more than one flak-explosion. At least at T10 and at T8 the amount of flak explosions is way less than at T10 So it does not give you a huge advantage at all and in my opinion its not worth 4 points

[@ReiYukihyo]

a few things come to mind when deciding whether you want this skill or not: 1. the pilot's poor flak dodging skill and squadron's inability to dodge flak 2. ranked and clan battles where everyone groups and you aren't confident 3. FDR or no other skills to put points into With the flak spawns being changed in 0.10.1 and the flak spawn accuracy supposedly improved with 0.10.2, this skill is worth considering. I took it on a few carriers to test out how well they do but it is inconsistent and hard to evaluate whether its worth taking.

[@Schorch1962]

This is really great stuff, Reimu, thanks for it! Now a question: i always want my torpedos to reach a target as fast as possible, so my target ship has less chance of dogding them. So i use the torpedo acceleration skill on most carriers and the upgrade in the carrier for it. Now i see you never use this skill? Why? The next thing, on german CV`s i use a secondary build and often see enemy DD`s running away in panic when they see the fireworks incoming, taking some or much damage from it. This solved my problem with those CV-hunting DD`s when i was sailing alone, without division. Now i`m always playing in a Division with good players, they often help me when i get attacked. Maybe i should use this skill on GZ only now? My divi mates often shoot at enemy DD`s when i spot them and often sink them or hunt them away. Would be glad if you could find some time to explain it to me. Take all the time you need, no stress please 😊

[@ReiYukihyo]

1. increasing torpedo speed increases the arming distance required. its a double edge sword skill. 2. only ship i use secondary skills and upgrades on is nakhimov and mvr

[@Schorch1962]

@@ReiYukihyo Thank you very much! So the torpedo speed upgrade increases the arming distance, too, i bet? The arming distance is linked to torpedo runtime? WG gives not so much informations about such essential things, or they`re hard to find. Now some upgrades and skills look like traps for me! Now looking your videos to find which upgrades i should change to others. Got some dublons for re-skilling some captains and change upgrades. Learned much from your videos and want to have more effective planes.

[@therealgenjishimada4127]

love your videos man, keep up the great work. i have just finished watching a bunch of them and i would like to ask you if you could list all the mods that you are using! thanks for the great content!!

Moin zusammen. Bin zurzeit mit den T6 CVS an Üben. T4 kann man seit denn CV nörf mit den MGS komplett vergessen. Hauptsache die dds sind raus und man hat sein Beste gegen. In den meisten MMS ist das eher ein Versuch bei mir in den CVS. Aber jeder war mal ein CV nup. Leider hat man in CO OP von der Ausbeute heher mehr Verluste als gewinne. Wenn man dass Team play üben will. Darum trenire ich ich in Zufalls MMS.

[@thedefect5152]

Would you still recommend Bomber flight control on Midway if i'm not using her special module for bombers?

[@ReiYukihyo]

yeah. more speed is never a bad thing

[@xtremkid4698]

👀 new build guide? Wooooo

[@JasonWilliams14-]

great stuff. Curious though why you do not take the tier 4 armor skill? I thought that was a must? Much appreciated

[@ReiYukihyo]

Enhanced Aircraft Armor is primarily picked if the carrier has very large squadron size + slow planes or if the carrier squadron is low HP and slow planes. The first one means it's quite difficult to dodge flak all the time. The second one is to help the planes survive after the strike and on it's ascend to the safe altitude while returning to the carrier (eats flak on the way up). In the end, it's your personal preference. I take EAA on Audacious and other RN CVs now for example

[@JasonWilliams14-]

@@ReiYukihyo got it...that is very helpful. Ty!

[@TheStarforce2]

Hey, for american cv's, I have ranger and the premiums (except fdr) But only 10pt captains. What should I use the first 10 pts? And should that be the same on all american cvs for the first 10?

[@TheStarforce2]

infact if I may suggest a way to make these videos better, to highlight those first 10 pts when doing builds, as 10 pts is generaly what you get for same a chirstmas container premium ship or other event container ships..they come with 10 pt capts. Anamie capts you can buy during those events are also 10 pts I have more than one enterprise capt that I can put on my cv's as starters to work up, but those first 4 skills (assuming I hit one on each level) would be most important to me.

[@ReiYukihyo]

i stated that now it's first 9 points thats important then you can branch off. first 9 is always going to be the same skills of AS, IE, AA, and SE. after that it's your choice for what your CV has. if it has torps (not german line), put it into PF. if you feel you need faster aiming, take SS

[@TheStarforce2]

@@ReiYukihyo so this is true for all cv except german?

[@TheStarforce2]

Ive been told to build for torpedo for ijn, esp kaga. I want to focus on ranger for now. I dont have the tier 6 ijn yet.

[@ReiYukihyo]

including German cvs imo

[@Nightsight971]

I got the Lexington since the Enterprise is unavailable, I love Corsairs. Anything different for that ship?

[@ReiYukihyo]

you asking what's different with Enterprise?

[@Nightsight971]

@@ReiYukihyo No, I couldn't buy the Enterprise so I settled for the Lexington because I am a big Corsair fan. If Lexington is the same as Enterprise minus the AP bombs then I'm good to go and I'll use your Enterprise build.

[@ReiYukihyo]

@@Nightsight971 What differentiates Enterprise from Lexington is the incredibly fast regen time on planes (40s on the planes) as well as very strong rockets for removing DDs and cruisers, and as you know the AP bombs dropping 6 of them and having a potential to one shot a cruiser from the match. Use the Midway build for Lexington instead of Enterprise.

[@Nightsight971]

@@ReiYukihyo Excellent, thank you so much!! I got Lexington only 2 weeks ago and ships tend to pop up when Im in or too close to turn from their AA zone. So spotting can be hazardous, may need detection reduction. Also, I just found your The Lady video so I hope I didnt waste your time. Thank you, very good info vids.

[@ReiYukihyo]

@@Nightsight971 whatever you do, do not take Hidden Menace skill. it is bugged and not a skill you want to take ever

Is Ovechkin voerth it on USN CVs?

[@ReiYukihyo]

if you have spares.

[@u-bum]

I'm new to the game and I want to play CVs. What nation would you recommend and do you have any tips?

[@ReiYukihyo]

in terms of difficulty, brits are the easiest followed by US, japan, then germany being the hardest. in terms of game impact, brits are the lowest impact followed by us, germany, then japan. if you're new to the game and don't know much about game mechanics of surface ships and matches, the usn line is what i recommend. as for tips, learn plane management, which surface ship's AA are the weakest / strongest, and your carrier's positioning.

[@u-bum]

@@ReiYukihyo Thanks! Yes, I played the USN line first. I also checked the WOWS wiki so I can check the recommended upgrades and commander skills. Also, when do I unlock the training room? Service Record 15?

[@combatmuffin3192]

@@ReiYukihyo I would say the USN have the biggest impact (at least in tier 10 and 8). Why do you think IJN have a bigger impact.

[@txv87_24]

Highly disagree with bomber skill on Enterprise. It's not worth investing that heavily into a squad that is only useful rarely, and even then, only if you get extremely lucky. Taking arming distance reduction and heal bonus or torp speed would be a better use of those 4 points.

[@Magick_-lx7dm]

Enterprises bombers can be extremly powerful - but only against stationary targets. Maybe not worth the investion, but for me they work pretty good actually. Like they got a little hidden buff for their accuracy Btw I have to say: It feels like they get way better even their RNG when you choose the HP-upgrade for bombers instead of the one for torpedobombers. Just a feeling - but its surprising, really

[@sfdwawf]

How up to date is this video nowadays :D

Eh I don't use these builds anymore cuz it's 2 years ago lol. My T8 and T10 builds are all posted on my Discord server's CV Builds channel
