Thank you ALL for your thoughts but i have decided to go cv unless i want to go non-
alaska

NOTE:yes i do know that the CV-1 costs a 1mill
NOTE:i dont think i cant maage BOTH a CV and a BB but i will keep it mind for when i
master the game
NOTE:while BB's have the big buff-ness of being...a BB im more of a all-around helper
for instince i like to help me team by make sure they dont get DB-ed or TB-ed and i
know an other option is to AA but I'm somewhat new to the game and i cant
manage to AA on my atlanta and still protect my self at the same time.

ONCE AGIAN THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLIES,IF YOU DIDNT I WOULD HAVE NO CLUE
WHAT TO DO AND JUST QUIT NF....... THANK YOU AND PLEASE KEEP ON GIVING ME
SUGGESTIONS

It's true that you earn more credits while playing in a carrier, but also note that if you
don't have adaquate fighter pilots you will have a difficult time shooting down other
fighters( i know from experience xD). But it's still fun since i can bomb the hell out of
BB's if i live long enough :-P.

Depends on a lot of factors. One thing I miss about not going BB in my US crew is that with
BB, you are leveling up a lot of support crew (repairers and engineers particularly) that are
useful on virtually any other ship. Got a spare high-level engineer? He's also great on a SS!
Want to go a different ship route with a new BO? You have high-level gunners, etc that can
handle it.

When you go CV, I think there is more investment, because fighter and bomber pilots can
only really be used on a CV. Thus, outside of the CV, those crew are going to be twiddling
their thumbs on other ships.

Tactics wise, BBs are about knowing angles, ranges, and maneuvering to best take
advantages of your ships strengths/weaknesses. CV is about air superiority, managing
multiple flights of bombers and acting in support of the BB line.

Unless this has changed over the years, common wisdom was that a BB made a better
leveling platform for crew because they tended to earn more xp than a CV, but a CV could
potentially earn much more credits (from shooting down planes I guess).

What I liked about CVs was that you can really hang back and send out planes to do as
much damage as possible to the enemy. With situational awareness, You're much less likely
to be oneshotted. Both US BBs and CVs are decent all-around, and at low-medium tiers dont
really have anything to jumps out in effectiveness/uniqueness.

Personally i think BB is easiest to play so if this is your first time playing a nation i
would go BB, but really its all up to you.
