How odd, well if it works

Engy will still work on bo slot.

@ioh: Unless something was patched recently I believe engies only work on support slots.

On the BO slot of a PCV the Engi fits pretty well.

Cena with the BW CV LOL remember getting fighter capped by t1's :P

Anyways

I run 5FP 1 TB 2 reps and then a random sailor on my essex and if you play it right you
don't need a engie.

Its not always about YOU scouting dingy. If you keep the enemy fighters busy your team
should be able to scout as long as they arnt too retarded to dodge AA.

"With more pilots your BBs are less likely to be sunk because of vision problems"


I've never believed it was the job of the cv to provide scouting, so this is a non issue for
me. The job of the CV is to bomb or use fighters--hence why no other ship can use
planes other than CV.. there are so many other ships out there that can use scouts..
my job is to keep the other enemy ftrs out of the sky so you can scout. If bb's dont
have scout on their ship, it's their own fault they become blind. I have no sympathy.



and I know it's not rocket science, I just wanted some opinions on it. As I said, I didnt
have any other options when I first had my cv load out and I am now looking at
changing it up a little.

Probably more useful in CV rooms then anywhere else, the extra OH time/speed may make
dodging bombers easier and running from a trigger happy cv that doesn't have an engy.

meh just trade your fps, make sure you got 6 dbs and throw on some engies, maybe
1 rep and your sorted :)

I've alway run with one engi and two reps (on the gun slots) as my supports for a
PCV/CV6/Shinano. I never suffered the crew death to warrant a medic and a difference
a seaman would make is, imo, not worth the additional over-heat/rep capability that an
engi/repairman would give. An engi to run away from a sub/retreat in a HA when
needed and reps to quickly repair the damage that a sub sneaking through the
lines/BH'ing bombers can do.

Wouldn't trade any of my pilot complement to achieve that tho...
