  • I am not freaking sure anymore.

Alright, seeing the success of mu CV6UK TBW, I plan to make a CV6SN DBW.

The thing is, I am not quite sure on what would be my crew. I have 6 DB already, 1 rep, 1 rest (to make sure I'll hit 900 SD), 1 eng, and 2 Gunners.


The problem now, is this. I am not sure if I want to push through with the 2 Gunners. Should I just go for two more DBs or should I keep the Gunners?



I wanted to keep gunners because unlike TBs, it's very hard to hit fast moving ships with DB, and I don't have any sort of defense against submarines (and not to mention, I can always manual TB the crap out of submerged subs, that's why I was decisive in maintaining 8 TB pilots) .

But still, going for a 24DB run would require me to have 8 pilots (I can still do that with 6DBs, but my routine would be ruined. I mean, 24 DB = 6/6 + 3/3/3/3. No more next run - I'll have to wait for the first two runs to run out of fuel). Let's face it, oneshotting a BB6 with 24DBs = TOXIC.


Any suggestions?

All the best bomber players use atleast 2 fighter pilots on CV4+

I believe the "best BW" only uses bombers, and relies on evasive tactics and skills to disengage from enemy fighters; all the while coordinating with your allied FT CV.

Using FTs would tolerate me to become a one-man army, which I don't want to. I want to rely on my skills and teamwork with teammates.

Please stay on topic :(

Hard to hit small targets? Dont you know how to manual bomb?

If you are afraid of subs and such for your CV6 i would ultimately go 8dbs / 1eng , r slots: 1 rep and 1 back gunner, if you want to drop a pilot for a restore then sure, your call. I would just only run 1 rear gunner though.

I didnt know I was off topic. And when I say the best bomberwhores I am talking about the greats from AZ past and Neb such as Ottaku, Arctic, Zion, and Kazzu. If you notice them playing you will see there are more ways to use fighters then you would think.

It's k men,wait for Nebraska and Kaiser to merge,all will be revealed then...

Also intrigued as to why you wouldn't want to be a 'one-man army' as you put it,teamwork? teammates? Reeks of Blasphemy.

Going on-topic,i would use gunners,be it for 3.9" Minizini for AA/HE Defense,or PHH Launchers for ASW.

@v2cx: If that's your belief then I don't mind. I'd still stay with my belief.

@all: thanks. I'll keep the gunners. XD

I grinded 6DBs, 8FTs, 2Gunners, 1engy, 1 Fight elite seaman, 1 rep AND restore elite as BO for SN CV
and it was a good choice.

on PCV, you hit the 900 SD with 8ftrs, 1 rep , 1 engy, 1 seaman, 1 BO
with 6ftrs and 2dbs you still can hit the max SD.
and sometimes I use gunners for HH... but not that effective... SN PCV can has 8 guns... I think...

and I believe that SN BW is not a good choice. they are really really slow lol.... so its hard to avoid FTs...
SN DBs are different from UK DBs and US DBs. they success bombing hardly compare to other fast DBs
but bomb enemy ship like nuke that SN DBs can sink enemy ship with one wave.
so there is no need for 8DBs
and it needs more micromanaging to success. as you know if you micromanage one wave of Bombers,
you can't use all the Bomber sailors effectively....
so... I think 6 DBs are enough

Go 8 DBs or 6 DBs + 2 FTs. Your choice. FTs will help you scout better though. I have both TBW UK and DBW MN so I understand how hard it is for DBs to run without scouts.

I dont believe in restorers. If you cant dodge bombs, byebye. More engies will help u dodge better :). In your case I'll keep one for two gunners, to freak out the nub FFs or DDs chasing you.

I dont give a sht about ss, as long as I bring my sonar escort with me :). I dont place hope in speed, because I am sure you're ArmorWhored :D.

For me, I'd play 8 DBs 1 Eng 2 Gunners
