CV rework so far...

I haven't played the rework yet, but based on what I've seen, I think it will open the class up to more people and hopefully balance it better.

I think it will improve gameplay and make it more realistic. Ships grouped up will have stronger AA and receive less damage. DDs have to watch out for planes with rockets too.

I still set waypoints to keep my cv moving. Ive only played tier 4 so far and I'm getting ready for tier 6.

Fighters aren't a player option. They seem to automaticly lunach when you get in range of other carriers.

CV sniping is a complere waste of time. You can run endless runs teamed up with a teammate and it doesn't seem effective. They will still be the last boats alive. This makes attacking other ships more of a priority.

The Japanese cvs are harder to play. They have smaller flight groups, but the attack is more accurate (the bloom or attack feild is also smaller)and they flight gtoups reload almost instantly. Since they are smaller AA eats them up so you may not get 2 runs in per flight like with the American ones. Attacks are more effective when planned out, as in flying in from the right angle.

Nuking boats doesn't seem to be a thing anymore either. I look for wounded ships to funish off. Also spotting seems different, islands block your line of sight so ships don't pop up instantly. Islands can make attacks a pain, more so than before. Maybe it's just becuase I'm actually following my planes instead of looking at a map but I'm more aware of my anhle of attack and the direction I come from.

This kinda stuff might make me want to try some CV play.

Sorry for all the typos. I just had one cup of coffee I also think the non stop action of these battles is adding to it.

The gameplay is alot more active and action packed then before. People sayibg it's boring are probably the old cv players getting salty.

You can still "cross drop" You just have to do two drops at different angles like before, just try to catch them off guard on the 2nd pass.

Rockets are the easiest and most accurate to aim, bombs come in 2nd, torps are tricky but no where near as hard as before.

Also figured out how to speed up and slow down my planes (you use W to speed up S to slow down) there's a limit to how much you use. It does come in handy for torp drops and distant boats.

Thanks for the info, been trying to get an idea what it's like from someone other than the whiners on the official forum. Still wonder how long it will be before we see CV's in legends. Supposedly ( according to official FAQ in open forum) they will be added after they figure out the PC rework.

oh one more thing, if your carrier is burning you can still luanch planes without wasting points on a stupid captains skill.

While we're talking about captains skills, Air Superiority changed. You just get more planes on deck, faster. No extra plane on squads.

I would imagine that they dumbed down the controls for Cv to port them to console. It would be hard to control 6 squadrons with a controller.
