  • CV grind questions

I've been looking around for a couple of days now.

Not entirely sure this is the right place for this, but since my CV crew is IJN, figure
its a good starting point.

I just recently started a new CV crew, picked up 6 elite fighters and now have some lvl 96
DB's. 4 of my fighters are level 46, the other two are level 70.

I've been using the Mogami CV to patrol right behind the BB line and launch waves of
interceptors to combat incoming fighters and db/tb waves. Only problem is that I'm finding
that the interceptors really don't have the flight time to really make much of a
difference. Also finding that my level 46 elite FP's in tier 1 fighters get mauled by
pretty much anything.

Am I stuck, or am I just doing it wrong?

Elite fighters have 9 air ability. I have UK t3 elite fighters also and i hope i will get
some
positive results from them in the close future which i can not get any of it at the
moment.

my current CV is a UK Courageous. I've got Tier 2 Fighters, but still use Locals a lot. but
UK is better TB than DB so *shrugs*

it's not neccesarily what you have on the ship that makes you any good (although,
anybody with level 120 pilots will be a force to deal with). it's how you play the ship.
and how the other CV players play their's as well. since if it winds up 3-4 CVs vs just
you left after the other 2-3 have died you're in trouble no matter how good you are.

then there's the fact that even when you do everything right, your BB's might not be
able to hit a Hood BC unless they're within Blitz DD spitting distance no matter how
much they shoot.

I've been taking more of an offensive CV approach lately. More DB than TB. Since so many
BB's and such carry a ton of bulge now thanks to SS, my TB's don't get used a lot.

Working out so far, but my BB crews seem to get more attention.

I don't ever let the BB's tell me what to do. If I can help them, I try. My main goal is
to use my high offensive weapons to destroy enemy BB's and AAA asap.

when you're starting off, you've got 3 options:

1) sit back with locals (interceptors) and do quick flights to take down bombers, scouts,
fighters (you'll have trouble for a while against tier 4 high level fighters no matter what
you put up).

2) use tier 1, and even into the tier 2 fighters, to be "food" for just about every other cv
driver out there, and only good against bombers/scouts

3) have some locals, but only for covering over yourself from bombers, and relying
mostly on TB or DB and being an "offensive" player. attack targets as you pick them
(BB, AA ships, CVs), although plenty of BBs won't like this, because they think you're
only job should be to act as a "scout" for them to use so that they get all the glory.

So my FP's are now level 55.

I've resorted to loading minimal fighters, and essentially bomber whoring.

That results in netting me attack, which helps bump xp more than sending t1 or t2 fighters
out to scrap scouts.

I've had almost no success being a scout hunter. Too many AA whores simply just shoot my
flights down.

I think your problem is the difference of experience between the fighters, like someone
else said, wait until you can get around tier 3 and load those.

"" Oh and can you tell me? If you equip only 70lvl fighters and buy t3 for them, what will
happen if you put the 40lvl crews on the CV? Will you be able to use only 2 pilots or all
of them will be able to use the t3? ""

Only the lvl70 pilots will be able to use the planes ;)
The low level pilots will not be displayed on the squad management panel ^^
