It’s finally here. CV test starts Monday for legends

Spoiler alert: it will be cancer.

There is no more polarising class in WoWs. People either don't mind them, or absolute hate them with every fibre of their being. There are hundreds of threads on the main forum of purely CV complaining. At one point 3/4 of the threads on the first page in general discussion were anti-CV.

Some people will like them, just as many will despise them.

So far these are the impressions I’m getting from feedback

Well at least at tier 3 there is no rocket attack planes, so players are forming 3 man Kamikaze divisions ( with that 4.4km detection ) and slaughtering the CV’s.

squadron sizes are smaller so far, with only 6 planes and 2 bombs/torps per drop. Not sure if this will change with tier 5 testing next week.

Best part. Currently there is no autopilot with waypoint. So there is no way to steer your ship while controlling the squadron. Only thing you can do is move in the direction you were pointing when you launch. Lot of complaints about this one.

 Things are of course subject to change but reading the feedback has been entertaining at least.

Yeah no autopilot makes it interesting to say the least🤣

Kami gets 4.4 or 4.5km. Can never remember. For the most part DD concealment is crazy on most DD’s once you max out commanders skills. Hell if I remember correctly you can get shimikaze to around 4.5 or 4.6 with 11k torps

It’s nuts

And both of those DDs are below tier 3.  Kamikazes with 4.5 km concealment is stupid broken.

Meh it's all an initial play test. I'm sure they will make adjustments for the next playtest cycle.  

It's not like they completely overhauled both the AA mechanic and carriers at the same time and dumped it on the player base all at once with minimal testing. I mean, who would do that?

  


Personally, I'd prefer carriers to be left out completely, so being in more of a nerfed state and contained to a specific mode right now is fine by me.   I experienced how they took the fun away from the game on PC - especially for those who preferred the DD style play - particularly after the idiotic overhaul. 

What is amazing to me are the ignorant masses who are clamoring for both CVs in an OP state AND subs to be added immediately.  When anyone with PC experience shares what happened there and recommends a more methodical approach with warnings of the impacts on the PC game, they just go into attack mode and try to diminish that experience and ignore the warnings.  Accurately sums up today's society.
