  • CV Shortage

Well, it's been an ongoing problem with NF. Most rooms fill to 20 BB's and everyone MUST
wait (with the invention of GBII) long periods of time for the room to start. This is a serious
turnoff to new players and any MMO needs player base growth to keep the game alive.

So the question is:

Why do you think the servers have low CV activity?


My observations,

-Monotonous fighter biased gameplay. BB's go blind and become aggravated at you.
-Shared XP resulting in weak rewards for being successful.
-AA ships. Cause and affect. AAW'ing is the only practical form of getting experts. With ships
like the Mandel, it's getting a little ridiculous. Moltke's and Pensacola's are bad enough.
-Low fuel on planes. I've noticed this hurts TB usage as it's difficult to regroup them after
the "low fuel" mark is hit.
-Lack of CV content. Especially when you compare it to BB content.
-Small diversity between cv nations.
-Shared CV6's between IJN/KM and US/UK
-No real advantage of owning a CV6 over a PCV. PCV in some ways is better since you can
use a support on the BO slot.

Discuss.

give back "bomber" ability into "defence" ability to balance pilots all nations like was
before... If this will cause some "T1 bug" then fix some T1s fighters stats...

CV patch with remowing bomber ability which was used like defence ability on
fighters was mistake with total unbalancing nations (IJN and UK with bonus on
this "defence" ability")...

Rename "bomber" ability to "defence" ability and "fighter" ability to "attack" ability...

Now is fighter pilots totaly unbalanced with huge
US advantages and huge IJN/UK disadvantages... =/

@ Audessy: Try forcing CODs aswell. Ammo is key.

For me, the main issue not to play my FW CV is XP. It ensures winning more often than
running a mixed setup, sure, since you can have 18+ Fighters up the same time - but what
is the use of a win if the XP gain sucks so bad. FWing can be fun when you have BBs on
your team that make use of the other team's blindness (and boy they sure enough don't do
it very often) but it's not very rewarding. On the other hand, with all the BWs running
around (Tico BW much?), it's easy to nom on fat, juicy Bombers and make easy creds.

As for the abuse - I got used to it. I have to grin every time when a rushing BB gets
hammered and yells "THANKS NOOB CV FOR NO SUPPORT" and yet I know I scouted his side
virtually constantly. It's easy to blame someone else for your own fail so it's slightly
less embarassing to be a bumrushing buffoon.

I admire Ljs Jedi reflexes while changing alt when under fire by enemy AA but even when
you micro let's say 3 wings with different alt all the time they get eaten sooner or later
when you haveto face a Moltke, 3 Emdens plus a SY and a H44 that like to grease your FP.
On the other hand, they usually kill friendly FP BEFORE they kill mine.

About the Fighter balance - my IJN CV5 (Pilots in the 100s range) is rusting in my harbor
since my 80ish KM FPs already perform better than the Japs. And both nations' pilotsl are
+12 BVE, mind you. The only REAL hindrance are certain US T4s at times, I guess the
supervetted elite ones.

Many things would help CVs, but I gotta agree mostly on allowing carriers to base more
than one tier of aircraft at a time.

NF should go back to GB with a Capital Ship as Flag and ensure no start without equal in
number CVs.

agreed about high lvl AA players, but i dont see any problem about fuel, pcv/cv6 etc...
maybe the biggest problem is the difference between T3 and T4 fts, but i just need lvl
up my fts to lvl 100 :D


@v2cxbong

haha i dont care what say about me that guy from Armada Hispana.. maybe and only
MAYBE i care when they show with facts how "pro" are they.. i think some players in
that fleet are like ARA :P

@Eradicator1

Aside from all the bullshit and sarcasm. Are you implying that CV's are fine exactly the way
they are?

@V2CxBongRipz

I tried the T1 fighters versus T4's. They work as you said, you just have to drag a lot it seems.
Not bad. I'm impressed.

>implying that mn which can fly dbs across the map and back and across again without
losing the plance is balanced"

Hes talking about the earlier auto return time that was brought in because local fighter
users were running out of planes from fuel too fast.

Find a way to block NF fixer and 80% of the problem its fixed
AAing its also one of the best ways to lvl up from lvl 30 to 65 or 70
AA spaming its doing more than just bothering the CVs, theres some certain cases like HA
or Fleet vs all rooms that AA spaming completly frozes screens
i remeber some imperium vs all room with 36 vs 48 BBs that my screen got completly frozed
by 3 minutes cause a couple of pompoms+ 2 or 3 moltkes + 3 h44s + 3 SY and some pensacolas :(
