Seeking advice on starting a first cv crew
08. 04. 2009 10:37

notyad	So i am starting a new cv crew--as in just rolled and am startign to level them to national level. Yes I have read many of the forums talking about CV crew but wanted to get an up to date (post all the patches) UK perspective. So far I have: 3 Fighters and 6 Bombers (I beleive all are 11/10 in bomber/fighter respectivly) Eventually I expect to class 5 as torps and 1 as dbs--am I right on this or should it be 2 dbs and 4 torps? Second: should I create a Medic and Seaman? I have a pot 13--10/10/10 AAW/Repair/Restore and a pot 15 9/9/9 seamna--should I class them as seaman/medic to use at highlevels? Do medics contribute to AAW/Repari/Restore? There seems to still be a fair bit of disagreement on the effectiveness of Medics and Seaman. Third I also have a pot 14 10/10/9 (AAw/repair/restore) crew that I was going to an operator for the york--hood line (my second BB operator. who would be better as a BC Bridge Op--15/9/9/9 or 14/10/10/9? Thanks in advance for the advice.

seaman/medic to use at highlevels? Do medics contribute to AAW/Repari/Restore?

There seems to still be a fair bit of disagreement on the effectiveness of Medics and
Seaman.

yondboi	for the ftrs is is important to keep their bomber ability as high as you can. this will cost you some ftr ability in the beginning but will pay out later. but also at earlyer stages the less higher ftr ability will be compansated by the higher bomber ability cuz it can take more hits.

seps	I would recommend keeping/rotating the 4 bombers, mostly for the flexibility (GB, CV rooms, HA, etc). When you get the Illustrious (and higher) you can put unused bombers on the R slots to get XP.

Ewood	stick with ships closer to the lvl of the PILOTS. Nothing worse than seeing say, an Ark royal on your team, then realising it's fighters are gettin eaten alive as it's using lvl 70 T2's...

notyad	So right now I am in the process of leveling the crew--5 fighters, 4 bombers (around level 32) and a medic and seaman (lvl 20). Looking at the prospect of leveling the aircrew--shoudl i keep the 4th bomber or just run with 3? Also when i get to the point I can use a carrier, I understand that higher level carriers are always better than the lower ones--but to level pilots should I matcht eh ship to the pilots levels (stayign smaller longer) or match the BO levles, and have the ships outstrip the pilots wait for them to eventually level up?

Ewood	Class them when they reach the available 'rank' as soon as is possible. with regards to not classing them to get a larger crew size, thats great if you can super-vet them to take advantage of this and keep it up (which will require ever increasing amounts of real $'s). If you don't wish to, or can't afford to, then it's easier to just class them on time to take advantage of the improved ability you get as a result of the class-change (for me, i have multiple CV crews with a large number of fighters -21 currently, spread over 3 nations, there's no WAY I'm going to even contemplate super-vetting all of them, when 100 vets do quite nicely against most CV's on AZ).

V2CxBongRipz	You should probobly avoid doing that. You lose skill doing that and I'm pretty sure crew size. All the translates into less true ability which will definatley hurt you early on.

notyad	fraggz thanks for teh comment--but that wasn't the question: leveling my pilots TO Fighter/bomber--can I skip the Rookie class and just leave them special forces?
