Probably meant the failure of flak as a balancing mechanic.
I think the major disconnect allowing CVs to gain so much power is the removal of the previous fighter squads. Real counter aircraft kept CV tactics from overrunning all aspects of the match. The current CV's fighter is not enough. It seems that 2 or 3 concurrent deployments that have a small area of effect may have kept CV squads from the dominating gameplay. I think introducing rockets may have been in error with the initial rework. |

Hotfix coming tomorrow. The first of many balance sweeps. I gotta say, CV play is more engaging but still comes in last behind DDs, BBs and CA/CL. Trying to get as many commander points on the Hakuryu as can tonight.

Hotfixed nerfed the hell out of Hakuryu. It was fun while it lasted.

They announced the prices of a few new premiums:
Azuma(Tier 9 cruiser) - FXP Azuma buffed to be a T10(has a different name) - coal Neustrashimy - steel I'll probably use my FXP on Alaska and my coal on the T10 Azuma. If either is ever released and they stop ****ing up the game. I find it slightly annoying that in trying to reinvigorate one class(CVs), they've killed another(DDs). I only hope the novelty of the CVs wears off quickly and the meta improves for DDs. In Flamu's latest video, he explains how he's stopped taking concealment expert on everything because there's no point when everything is permaspotted by aircraft. I'm inclined to agree. This game went from awesome to **** in a very short period of time. |

I see Flamu's point and he may be right, but. Sometimes the planes aren't as much of an issue in game. In those cases it would come in handy.
Reasons I took advantage of the captain reset and don't plan on training them all until this settles down. It may be a while, judging by how long the cv balance took. I'm kinda regretting the premium time I got but, could be worse. |

Some games don't even have carriers in them but I have removed AFT and replaced it with the AA sector reinforcement on most of my high tier 10 cruisers and BBs. I'm not dropping concealment on DDs.
I'm just grinding out as many 19 point commanders as I can. |

Ranked is actually a lot of fun. I took my fully kitted out Jutland from the bottom to rank 12 without losing a star. Only lost a couple of games, but was at the top in both of them.
I've got enough combined steel and coal for JB, now. I think I'll wait for the T10 IJN cruiser though. None of the steel ships really interest me. I've got Krohn so I don't want Stalingrad, Flint doesn't interest me, and if I'm going to play a Fletcher clone, I'd rather play Kidd. |

Been playing the Midway and enjoying it, even though some AA is still retarded OP. Clean out your friends list and black lists and port UI is better/less laggy. Last edited by johnnyb; 02-12-2019 at 10:39 PM. |

Got into a game with seven jabronis in DDCO clan where they sync-dropped and were split 4/3 per team. DDCO Shimmy on my team torped my Vanguard for half my health and of course it was my fault. Most of them talked smack, two reported me and ALL had negative KD and WR. I only looked since I was trying to find the "leader" and ask him to control his people. Be warned if they are on your team.

Attempted to play last night but after the 30-40 minute update download, getting various drivers updated and then getting a new French BB set up in game I finally hit battle and.......... the game froze and gave me a fatal error of some sort.... guess they don't want me back.
I also had to figure out hide the stupid ARP ships in port again, that was annoying. |

With the help of some FXP I got a 19 pt commander on my Midway. It's a lot more fun and challenging than the RTS system. In a good round, I break into the top 3. Most of the time I get inside the top 7 with an occasional fast/bad round where my team wins and I am in the bottom 3. It's very hard to outright kill a ship from 100-0, so most of my kills are finishing kills. I can take half of a BB's HP with bombs and torps, but usually costs me a good amount of planes. I do think they should increase rocket dispersion so DDs don't get wrecked by them.
So, while the changes have annoyed everyone to no end, I don't see them as OP as it was in RTS so far. |

I got to tour the real Belfast today. She's in pretty good shape. One thing I didn't know is that she's in the game as her post 1959 refit edition. During WW2, she looked more like a Fiji. She also helped sink Svharnhorst and Bismarck.

Going for the legendary upgrade on the Midway. It's a 25% (well 20% since you have to remove the 5% upgrade) buff to attack aircraft. It should be worth the grind but something to consider if you think your AA isn't working against a Midway's planes. |

Good news. The sky is not falling. Just my planes when I try to fly over a Wooster and Mino.
When they release the Alaska and other new ships, there will be another big increase in players. |

I'm going to give CVs an honest effort when I get back. I'm still not pleased about the consequences to DDs though.

Start your torp attacks about 6-7km away and don't drop until zoomed in. Release the torps right at the nose of the ship with one side of the indicator "lane" almost touching. For a second attack you really have to get 8-9km away to get another good drop. Start your dive bombs within a ship length if the BB is coming at you (start further away for cruisers since they are faster) and start your attack with the reticle on the nose of BB if it's going away from you. Rocket planes, just make sure you circle away far enough to get a good second attack. The sooner you start the attack without changing direction, the smaller your reticle stays and more accurate the drop is. If you miss your chance to drop any ordinance, you'll have to wait for the timer to time out and line it up again. Just wait, don't drop. Attack any isolated targets, especially any BB. Use islands for cover to attack campers and keep your planes healthy. Don't fly over any Woosters, DM, Salem or Minos. Avoid flying over any cluster of ships to get to a "weak" ship. Don't attack the other CVs unless they aren't moving. You'll lose a lot of planes, but at least the stationary CVs are easy damage. Don't try to drop all of your ordinance. 1-2 attacks and send the rest of the planes back for a full squadron. You'll have more full squadrons later in the game if you don't get greedy. Plus, AA mounts wear down. ;-) DM, Salem and Mino players are now camping islands just for AA protection for others flanking and it makes them impossible to take out. |

On one hand, I have bad, bad 40k damage rounds and no kills when I'm against US ships. On the other hand, I have 170k damage rounds when I am against SOME IJN and German BBs. I don't see the point in playing CVs for 20k lows and 120k highs unless there's a nerf to AA which I am sure they won't do or BB players will cry and quit. https://worldofwarships.com/en/news/...t/update-0803/ Quote:

I saw that. 8.4. We don't even have 8.1 yet. The genesis of that could be six months away.
I'm trying really hard to keep an open mind, but this seems to be acknowledgement that they ****ed DDs hard. |

WG screwed this up so bad. The game is still playable but everyone is pissed about something or other. Oh, and I got the Midway legendary mod and missed the note that you can't equip it. At least I racked up another 19 point commander and a ton of elite commander XP. |
