  • Tips for low level CVs (FIghterWs)

I recently started a cv crew and although I have used a uk cv before, I was a horrid driver. So i read up on CVs and realised US is the right way to go. I then began my horrendous CV grind. I must say, the grind to bogue was horrendous and when i got it.. i was shocked at how badly i performed on it.

Bogue
The bogue is a very basic cv and frankly, I don't even want to touch it. If possible grind your way to the Independence in a CA using HH or smth. But if you chose the hard way, simply launch 3-3 and take down scouts. Thats really all you can do.

Independence 
The Indy is a whole different story. Her farm is far from fair.. its so unfair.. sooo much exp and credits that i swim in them. Stuff her full with P-55 Ascenders (31) and conquer the skies. When waiting in the battleroom, make sure you are near the frontline of BBs. Pick North or South.. depending on where the higher level CVs are already at. Simply go the other direction when u see an ally high level CV at N or S. When the battle starts, load planes 2-2-2 and wait. Keep your ship far up north/south and just behind a frontline by a couple of inches/cm. See a scout? launch 1 set of planes and fly them towards the scout. Immediately load another 2/3 Ascenders right after you launch a set. After you take down a scout or 2, click the  " ` " button to send them home.Rinse and repeat for a couple of minutes. Ensure your skies are only occupied with your planes. At this time, enemy BBs have started to complain about being blind and enemy CVs are getting a earful. Prepare for fighter engage. Click around the enemy black north skies. Although you can't see anything, listen out for planes coming your way. Once you hear them, estimate their distance before launch to make sure they aren't too far. Take down the cloud of enemy planes and conquer the skies. During this process don't forget to watch out for enemy bombers anf remember to keep loading your planes! ^^

If 3 PCVs are fightercamping a lowbie CV that in itself is a win because their fighters arnt elsewhere doing useful things...

Highly unlikely for that to happen ain't it.

No,its not a win. I remember the day when all the low level CVs including me are on Bravo and in the opposing side is a bunch of T4s Fighter planes. All planes in our team are crashed and burned.Spamming and spamming,wave after wave and nothing else to do but feed them with crappy locals ..ahhhh the memories.

Just hope it wont happen again.


ok ok let me rephrase it anyway.

Which doesnt make the system right really. Its hard to encourage new players to join and actively play when they literally cant do anything. Even a BB1 can be useful. CV1-4 are basically food for elder players.

even you're fighter heavy, always have 1-2 bombers...if you can't get your satisfaction by bullying enemy planes, then bully their ships

This is the problem with only carrying fighters.  It's only good at very high levels.

 

Go buy a couple bomber pilots and get balanced.

 

Balanced Bogue/Independence are pretty good.  No one expects you to do much, so there's no pressure.  And there's blitz too.  Best thing is Blitz when you have 1 or 2 evenly matched CVs on a side.  Seeing who can sink the other first is a lot of fun.

Playing cvs are frustrating when you see all of your planes being shot down like nothing and there is nothing you can do (which happens pretty often), and continues until at least cv4 where you can finally get some AA guns onto the ship and trying to take them down with them as last solution...

It teaches you to make do with what you have. If you can do that you will be untouchable at high level. Do you think the people that are highlevel were never low level? I was getting farmed by the likes of firesilver, barret, and CV players like that. Learning to hang with them is what made me the CV player I am today.

Things were different then, you wernt expected to scout for BBs. Instead you were expected to shut the opposing CVs down so your BBs could scout for themselves. Now you have to scout for the brainless BBs because they cannot avoid even USN AA. Thats quite abit easier then having to shut the opposing CV down.
