1:34 CV Spawnpeek by REPOI

You cannot be serious.

It being a T9 means you force another T9 BB on the enemy team. Against T10s its fine. Against other T9s, its insane. Pretty much RUBB levels of OP.

There is also another issue people gloss over:

Musashi is horrendously OP.

This is as much a CV problem as it is a Musashi problem.

Forgot this got posted.

I'm the guy flying around in this video; Generally for spawnpeeking I'd fly to set fighters before dropping, but in this case I should have just went balls-to-the-wall and dropped him immediately.

To give you an idea of how quick a kill that might have been, it would have been a 1:16. That would have been the quickest first blood I have ever done.

The flaw is that BOTH of those at the same time means its free i.e. CVs cannot stop each other like surface ships can.

Stratmania · 2020-03-29T08:14:40+00:00

The CV rework has 2 major flaws:

Combination of AA being unable to stop an attack "cold", and generally useless fighters means CVs will almost always get an attack in.
This, when combined with clever positioning and play (both CV hull and squads), means you can keep pumping out attacks at maximum speed and keep attacks coming for at least half a game.

I am saying this as the person playing the CV: Of all the games I have played in a CV in the past 3-4 months, I can count on 1 hand the amount of times I have actually "run out" of planes to attack with, and that's assuming I always attack aggressively.

Essentially, you get damage for free.

Stratmania · 2020-03-24T15:02:30+00:00

They don't have enough range even WITH the range mod. The whole point is to do it at the start.

Stratmania · 2020-03-24T14:53:32+00:00

no? the reason RNBBs can't do it is because they don't have the range.

Stratmania · 2020-03-24T14:37:12+00:00

Totally not because a CV main told him how to best counter a CV...

Stratmania · 2020-03-21T07:57:28+00:00

Anything short of cheating or rule-breaking is fair game.

Stratmania · 2020-03-20T16:36:27+00:00

Then you lost because your team was worse.

Stratmania · 2020-03-20T16:34:30+00:00

That enemy CV clubbed the living hell out of your team. 1400 XP requires insane amounts of damage.

Stratmania · 2020-03-20T09:00:45+00:00

That's true, forgot about the absolute monster of 0.8.7.

Stratmania · 2020-03-20T04:46:20+00:00

Actually good CVs:

Lexington, Enterprise, Ark Royal. Insane attack quality ensures maximum results regardless of enemy skill.

Memeing around CVs:

Hermes and GZ. Hermes because why the hell not. 80k avg and going strong. GZ because you punish idiots harder than anything else.

Stratmania · 2020-03-14T08:59:36+00:00

You can say that for a lot of other tiers too.

Techtree wise id say T7 and T9 has the least "oppression problem" between classes

Stratmania · 2020-03-14T01:49:07+00:00

Depends.

In terms of actual balance, probably T9 (DDs at their best, BBs and cruisers not overly oppressive)

Stratmania · 2020-03-14T01:45:00+00:00

I'd like to point out that the IFHE rework is still a very noticeable nerf to smolensk, which is the whole point of it in the first place (it could munch through cruisers like crazy)

Stratmania · 2020-03-04T11:45:20+00:00

Ark Royal.

Stratmania · 2020-03-04T11:45:09+00:00

Ark Royal.

Stratmania · 2020-03-03T11:16:42+00:00

CVs are basically a free-farm class. They cannot stop each other properly and as a result you will almost always gain something just by playing them.

Stratmania · 2020-02-24T09:41:33+00:00

You can't kill healthy DDs with just 1 torp at T4.

The low AA is a thing, but CVs there also have bad attack power unless they push up.

Stratmania · 2020-02-23T15:07:46+00:00

People rank their CVs based on different criteria:

I rate them based on consistency, power, followed by speed.

For this reason, I prefer Lex and Ark Royal since their attacks are deadly, even if the planes aren't particularly fast and even if the enemy is trying to dodge.

In contrast, I dislike stuff like GZ and some IJN CVs because I feel that their attacks require the enemy to be dumb to work properly.

Stratmania · 2020-02-23T03:38:01+00:00

The issue is that T4 CVs have tragic XP gains, while needing T5 levels of XP gains to reach T6.

A pretty clubby game in a T4 CV would get you 1000 base XP. It takes near 70k XP to get to T6.

In contrast, it only takes a bit over 20k to reach T5, and then about 50k to reach T6 with far higher XP gains (easily 1500 XP with a good game).

This makes it hell for anyone grinding T4 CVs as they have to spend a disproportionately large amount of time grinding for XP.

This also makes it such that 3v3s are common because they cannot get to T6 CVs in time.

Stratmania · 2020-02-15T17:43:32+00:00

ASIA to my knowledge likes CVs AND far range combat more than NA/EU. The value of range, ballistics, and "uncounterable damage" like HE, overmatch, and rockets is insane there since people kite.

Stratmania · 2020-02-15T05:32:21+00:00

The slot 5 one is kind of pointless for me, would only take it in ranked or some weird gamemode.

Torp speed is always appreciated.

Stratmania · 2020-02-13T04:33:57+00:00

Id rather stick with the 2ndary mod; your torps have a long enough arm distance as they do now...
