while i cant say if anything has changed...(last i played my cv was nearly a year ago)... I do know that back then it was impossible to do anything without having high level crews at the start.

At the time, the way to play a cv was to grind your fighter pilots (on your bb line) up to lvl 100+ and spend lots of money boosting them, getting experts, getting vets, and having more vet and expert packs in reserve for when you lost planes because you without a doubt lost a good number of vets and expects if you lost any planes at all.

Once you had all of that, then you could get into your CV1/CV2 to learn how a cv worked. If you did not do that you were next to useless no matter what playstyle you prefered. Since double gold bar oyodos and cv1 running around launching tier 3 fighters and then locals before the lvl nerf on the locals made being a low lvl cv play nothing but torture. And then people would yell at you because your at level fighters would blow up when the tier 3 fighters looked at them. The best thing i saw was "save up your credits and buy high level fighters then". Umm how was an at lvl cv2 player that could do almost nothing in battle supposed to save up the 2 to 10 mil people wanted for high level fighter pilots?

I would have been much happier with my cv if 1) you could be useful with an at level crew more than once every 8 blue moons (yes it was that bad that a low lvl cv with at lvl crew was unable to much for most battles, and the few that it could do anything they were just moments of usefulness instead of a full battle of usefulness.) and 2) if the exp and credits earned were brought more in line with BB (even if not fully in line) and the costs of running the carrier were reduced to to similar to a same lvl BB since the carrier cost more to run at at time as well which is why it had/has the higher credit gain supposedly.

right now only reason i play CV is for fun almost no point in going super grinding mdoe cause i cant with 10-20k almost 30k some battles i get 15 to 25k exp with gold i think its a problem

There are a lot of good points here. Wins get you Xp. If your BB's Cant see then you will lose.
I really do not agree with leveling your ftrs on a bb , 1 you dont learn how to fight other planes, I think learning how too run T2's and T3 around T4 to get bombers and scouts is very important.
Vision for BB's is key for winning any battle.
Once you team ownes the sky and most of other teams Bb's are dead, then that is the time to start sending some bombers out withyour ftrs. Notice i said some bombers. Your team can still lose if your BB's become blind.
There are some Cv guides around here somewhere or over on http://www.Trainworld.us
Take a look at what other cvs(country u are using) are running for planes. that might give you a better idea of how to equip that type of CV.

Hi all..

At last a proper discussion.

Lionel2 - you have half pointed another issue with cv's and XP. You say to bomb more for our xp, well technically you are right. But hows NF going to start playing if ALL CV's just bombed?.
Quote - It shouldn't be that you need to change the whole XP system just to fit your style of play.

The truth is people are changing THERE playing styles to suit the XP system!-(leveling to 90+ in a BB and not using CV) - Which being dictated on playing style by the XP itself, ruining people fun from CV's. Would i play CV if i had to bomb to lvl 90+ or use a BB to level fighters, no i would not - and i suggest that would be the death of CV's in game. Which is were we are atm with few people playing them.



Personnaly i have played CV's for near 4 years now, i REALLY don't need to be told how to play a CV, and as i'm sure many others know what they are doing with CV's also. As stated before in my posts, i play CV because i enjoy it - not for its credits or XP. now we all know fighters at level 90+ can be used much better, but the point is people are not getting into CV's at early levels because is a long hard slog, and you get little but ear bashing from the BB's,lol - and then little xp also(until level 90+), even at level 90 in my opinion the xp is not great for the effort involved as stated before.

hi all..

I must apologize to you lionel2, i do not mean to pick anyone out for any reason. I just wished to continue on a point you had made. was nothing personal bud:).

I guess i am a fan of CV's you could say, and i'd like to see any incentives to get more CV's in the rooms. As human nature predicts we will always try to find the short route to anything :) . The balance of CV i think is very good atm and i would be hard pushed to complain about anything to do with balancing. I also love seeing how people play there CV's, different set-up and play styles ,which is what makes them so much fun to play compared to any other line.

In my opinion, because of the nature of the beast :) , and as the tilte suggests, CV XP i feel is the only improvement to be made were players will react to it and use them more, as nature predicts. Which is why i picked up on this post. I would like to see no matter how people play CV's, they get the right XP for there efforts, which i feel the XP is not quite right atm.

Cheers

ok ive waited awhile before saying anything so here it goes.

1. putting fps on a bb is not the solution. matter of fact it creates a problem, a fail bb with no supports so you get no xp anyway.
2 you could put it on an aa boat but again, less cv drivers = no planes to aa except for scouts

3. without cvs and the fps they carry, the bbs not only lose sight but the bw cvs will run the rooms and then the bbs lose again.

4. Credits, yes cv's get credits but you know where i make my money? trade tabs. you lvl supports on bbs and aa boats then you sell em.. so please using the credit excuse as to not give the cvs more xp.

CV drivers do deserve more xp. To sit there and micro manage your planes to give continued sight to the bb's is not an easy task. We cant just leave the room and go to the next like most bb drivers after they are killed. 9 out of 10 times a cv is the last ship and thats alot of time they have to sit there. If you want more people to do the cv grind then beef up the xp some so people will actually play the cv and ejoy it.
