Top 10 TIPS for Aircraft Carrier Beginners PART 1! World of Warships CV Gameplay guide

[@denniskeler8068]

As a 2500+ CV player in my opinion your video is really good for beginners. All your tipps are important informations for beginners...keep going! Good work!

[@mercRus]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@n0tpchass474]

wich one cv you enjoy more or find it better to play as a 2k hakuryu i would like to use other

[@Getclappedboyeeee]

Nobody cares about your numbers bud

[@SolarMonolith206]

A big thing to mention on the AA is that knowing which ships to avoid will only come with experience. To a new player jumping up a tier, unless you studied every ship in that tier (not even accounting for uptiers) you'll probably get slapped a couple times by ships that you didn't know of with high AA ratings.

[@sinisabalentovic9617]

As a main CV player ,whatever rework they got in future i will not stop playing them ,but i will adjust myself to it and seek oportunities to improve myself and develop new strategys!!! I am useing only US CV !!!Thanks a lot for info!!!

[@andrejerdelji1310]

I love how you play the game for 5 more minutes after finishing talking, that way we can actally see what you were talking about

[@robertboss2581]

Just got the enterprise in a loot box and i never really played CVs before. I really want to use her because my grandpa served on her so this was a great video. I really appreciate it. I think ill practice some more at tier 6 first.

[@mercRus]

Awesome and congrats! Enty is superb once you got the handling, target selection and flak control down.

[@robertboss2581]

@mercRus that's my problem lol I got none of those down haha

[@Ins4ne100]

Thanks for the work! Will help ppl to Improve their Skills - Myself included😊 Greetings

[@schinbone0]

Good video. Food for thought for either Wanna be CV players or the rest of us. Just to learn the likely thought process.

[@mercRus]

Exactly! Thanks for checking it out!

[@tmnt_ppn]

I never thought of that with the flak. Thanks for the tip.

[@mercRus]

You're welcome, anytime

[@SirTriton]

I specifically came to this video hoping to hear about AA and you deliverd. Thank you. I had heard somewhere you could dodge the black clouds of death but i never found out how to do it 😅

[@mercRus]

Glad it helped!

[@artic6015]

Thank you for all the great information. I rarely play CVs. The AA flak and how to avoid it was helpful.

[@mercRus]

Very welcome! Glad that is helpful

[@HONGKELDONGKEL1888]

"to defeat the enemy, be the enemy" - watching as a submariner because CVs are quite prickly customers for us. (And yes i am also playing every other class and actually have found the Spanish and South American cruisers really fun, plus i am in love with the IJN and USN battleships)

[@CoinPlatypus321]

Could you put these tips into visual video like how to do stuff that plus explaing how you did it because the gameplay in the back doesnt help

[@mercRus]

I'll keep that in mind! you can see the control of the flak during the video but I'll see about doing that next time

[@tonyko_u1s1]

I was going to buy Kaga to farm xp, thanks for the tips. X CV torp my ARP YAMATO 3 times and sink it from full health is kind of op (forcing me to group up with others and still no good really). I will do IV and VI CV till better at it first.

[@mercRus]

You're welcome and yeah Kaga is great! Def would not recommend by a carrier now until we get a better idea of what the rework does to them.

[@luizcamillo9933]

Great video, very useful!

[@mercRus]

Glad it was helpful!

[@APBLVHC]

Great video!

[@mercRus]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@michaelbillings5746]

I've played wows for years now but have stayed away from CV because a) I hated the early RTS game play and b) Everyone now hates CV's. I now not only need to learn CV's just to be a better player but I also want to be a decent CV player. So thanks for your video. Where can I upload my gameplay videos to get valuable critiques?

[@mercRus]

Feel free to upload it to a common WoWs replay site, or, even easier, post it in the official discord channel. Let me know when it's up and I'll check it out

[@michaelbillings5746]

@@mercRus ok

[@infeedel7706]

I hate on CVs, but they are not going away. Thanks for posting it and sharing your knowledge.

[@matthewpowell9743]

Is it possible to leave the Attack Animation earlier?? I see some vids where they attack animation (Drop/ Attack) starts and they are already turning while the attack goes through. If you can which key. Is it just the F Key.

[@mercRus]

While your planes are doing the attack animation, you're flight squadron is being controlled by W,A,S,D. So you can be turning them while the attack animation is happening. To leave the attack animation camera, you simply press the attack button (mouse button) again. HOWEVER, this will take a few moments away from invincibility time early.

[@UtilityJoew]

1:53 got me laughing😂 but seriously nice way of saying how good you are

[@awesome7407]

why does Jingles keep bitching about how broken aircraft carriers are when all my airplanes keep getting shot down.

[@mercRus]

hehe. I have my own thoughts about that.. Def work on the target selection and flak control!

[@i7Qp4rQ]

How does button R work? "Engine cooling" (UK ship Furious). It cant be activated in any situation Ive came across.

[@mercRus]

Hi, I take it you found your answer right?

[@i7Qp4rQ]

@@mercRus No, the button still does nothing. :/

[@mercRus]

@i7Qp4rQ 1st sorry for the delayed replies for some reason I'm not getting notified by your specific comments. Just came across this randomly lol. When you're flying, you can press W to speed up and use your boost. You'll see the green bar on the left side of your reticle decrease. When you let go of it, it will slowly fill back up. In the event you want to fill it back up very quickly, you can press R and it will restore it, even giving a few seconds for free. Pressing R will a full green bar stored does nothing. Also, the last gasp captain skill automatically fully restores the green bar when you take control of the last attack group of your current flight group.

2.27 min all I'm getting is go somewhere else to get the info you looked up

[@mercRus]

Lol very well

[@elisabethmuller7765]

How do you control your cv while steering planes? I saw ppl doing this and wondered how to do it

[@mercRus]

Pressing M brings up mini map, from where you can click on the map to initiate autopilot to drive to a place

[@coyote4961]

T4... maybe, T6 CV play is a terrible option, because if you get uptiered to T8 which happens alot.... your going to have a bad day.

[@mercRus]

Eh, I've had better luck often not getting uptiered when playing T6; Certainly better than playing in T8.

[@clemlebleu]

Is there a way to deal with teams that just stay in big AA blob ?

[@mercRus]

Generally means they've given up map control which is good. Usually the blobs don't stay together long and someone is alone. Consider attacking the red CV after pre dropping or making sure the DDs are accounted for

[@ndud_]

I last playing CV in around 2016. Now I try to play again, but why so many different? CV cant fly all 3 type plane like early wows?

[@mercRus]

They completely changed them since then, and it looks like they will be changing it again soon. Some CV use different weapons! Lot of things for you to discover :)

[@ndud_]

@@mercRus big thanks my bro

[@stalwart149]

I played WoW back many years ago, and I jumped back into it tonight, and holy shit I don't what they hell they were thinking with the aircraft, but I could use them highly effectively before, but now I have no idea WTF is even happening. lol It used to be so intuitive, and now the aircraft just kind of shoot wildly into the water! lol it's so bad now.

[@mercRus]

Welcome back! You came just as they are working on yet another rework too lol

[@stalwart149]

@@mercRus Hm, so then I guess they know it needs some tweaking. That is good to hear, thank you.

[@nip3004]

I'm confused how is the detection commander skill bugged? It seems to reduce my detection rage as described

[@mercRus]

The consensus is that your aircraft are still too slow on reaching the safe altitude where they are no longer susceptible to AA and, more specifically, flak. You will lose more aircraft taking that skill from enemy flak overall that it simply isn't worth it.

[@luizcamillo9933]

Even in CVs with tactical squadrons? I don't remember who posted a video saying that the detection skill is ok for CVs that run tactical squadrons.

[@nip3004]

@luizcamillo9933 well yeah. Because those cvs don't care if they lose planes

[@FortuneViper]

@beginners: don't start with this class. every decent player knows it's shit for the game and pretty much the entire player base will hate you

[@mercRus]

hehe. Yes I would also support the idea of not starting with the class. Note this is of course for Carrier Beginners, not Beginners of Warships. As for sh*t for the game, well, that convo has been had everywhere.

[@dodgedaytona7435]

I rather face a cv than a sub, imagine a shimakaze with no guns, but better concealment, homing torps, infinite smoke (submerging), immune to radar while submerged, and with a fast reload. CVS can spot other CVS, but subs are hard to spot even for other subs

[@carrom6056]

When you aquire the CV, you should look at it in Port. First you need to take note of how much it initially cost you, because once you now right click it, and sell it, it'll sting but you did the right thing. Wargaming is not a company developing a game YOU like, they are developing a game they can farm cash. NOTHING will be working, once this is all done, NEW ships that have better stats that you can buy will be made available, thats it. STOP play this class so they can go back to focusing on the broken core game, old ships left behind that arn't even worth owning any more. The old trees slowly being timephased and obsolete. CV's, Submarines, they took away the focus, with those 2 added features, classes, game mechanics, it's like a bunch of clowns coding a world hack over at Wargaming. They both have to go, for the game to survive.

[@mercRus]

Def one way to look at it. CVs have been here since beta though and the game is world of warships, which CVs are. Have to accept that. New rework is coming though! Let's see what happens.

[@johnleadbetter9914]

CV s are just cannon fodder . Planes flying 5x faster than ships yet they can turn out even when being dive bombed . For no reason fly eight planes only two attack !!!! never read of that in WW2 . Destroyers can cross battlefield in in two flights of my planes then i am sunk . Assuming you actually do hit Torpedoes have minimal damage . And now you have fuel issue so have 3 min of travel till have too comeback . Nerfed would be understatement .

[@mercRus]

What CV are you using? That is certainly not the experience I've ever had. Feel free to send a replay and maybe I can help you specifically with what you're seeing!

[@YarrickAU]

I donno about the movie clips man, it's just jarring and adds nothing.

[@mercRus]

Absolutely Fair enough! I get bored making them and try to break up the constant "talking to you" with anything to vibe it up.

[@stevepeterson6070]

Carriers can attack anywhere on the map, in an extremely short period of time. They can go 100 wars in a row without even taking damage once if played right. Basically it is a PvE class in a PvE war, you can troll real PvPers all day long w/o ever even having any adrenaline in your body. Basically, if you are the type of player who sucks at pvp where you can take return fire, then CVs are for you.

[@mercRus]

This is definitely a perspective lol. Best of luck!

[@Ricardowieringa]

Lol you probably never played cv because the moment you are detected everybody in range will stop what they are doing and take a shot at you

[@Kireiji]

​@@Ricardowieringahe's definitely a type of player with red win rate and PR with less than 1k games total and loves to say "win rate doesn't matter"
