While playing a CV at times can be enjoyable, I often end up feeling trapped like a rat. 9/10 times I'm left alone at the back of the map, for enemy ships to sneak in on. I try to stay behind my team but it's not super successful. I use an escort ship with a BB crew (117 gunners on a Brooklyn). It has an ungodly spread. But.... it almost NEVER hits. Like... literally. It's INTENTIONAL for it to miss. With a firing speed of about once a second, the shells miss by inches, EVEN AGAINST STILL TARGETS!
Ahhh!
I have to say, as a CV user, I feel like a lot of times I do less than my BB team mates. I have to be aware of EVERYTHING, including scouts, enemy ships, scouting for my team, my location, planes I have in the air, etc.
While I do enjoy this, in recent times it's become more of a burden. I can send out 4 squads of T3 fighters and get mowed through by 1 squad of T4's. VERY unenjoyable.
And now, for me, the kicker. A player can launch 1 T4 fighter, mow through the 4 fighter escorts I sent w/ my bombers, AND my bombers in under 15 seconds.
I know fighters are supposed to be awesome. I get it. But when my bombers get DOMINATED by 1 fighter when I sent a fighter screen, it kills me.
Give us a TB or DB setup that has rear gunners who can at least defend A LITTLE bit. 5 db's of lvl 100 should be able to kill a single lvl 100 fighter. This will encourage sending groups of both FIGHTERS and BOMBERS.
Bah! :-X
