  • Why i'm discouraged of playing CV

Personally , i don't use my CV very much because untill you get t4 fighters, your fighters are crappy scouts which 
on occasion, generate some creds, and your useless against high levels.
I don't think there is a practical solution encourage CV users that are too high for interceptors yet too low for T4's.


Let the flaming begin.

Why don't I play CV?
Simple. Because I don't like being the waterboy that has to backup everyone else.

I like to be able to go whichever flank I want, attack whichever ship I want, and do it when I want - and a BB allows me to do that better. I'm not a team person, I'll gladly admit.

The only time I use a CV is in CV Wars or select mode, where I'm not constrained by responsibility.

I play alot more BB then CV but from what i have seen from both sides is this.

I find it takes alot more skill to play a BB then a CV. (a good Bomber is about like a BB) but a fighter CV is really simple.

I belive that most of the time a fighter CV's are as important or more important then BB's to winning a game. I see alot of bad CV and BB players. BB's that can't aim, shoot at cl when BB in range and straight line drive. Yet I see just as many CV players sending bombers into fighter waves using fighters to "defend" the teams when nothing is bombing or scouting them, and scouting team BB's instead of the enemy.

That being said, yes, the fighter CV needs to learn some basics of how to drag and work their planes. That allows them alot more ablity to win fights. Yet when you have a lvl 80 +10-+11 110vet fighter VS a lvl110 +12 or elite super vet fighter you don't stand much of a chance in a fire fight.

BB will rip on CV's alot of the time it is true and alot of times it is as much the BB fault as CV or more so with bad BB players that have vision. I try my best not to snap as CV's but there have been times, yet when playing CV's there have been times i have got mad at n00b BB's. Nothing is more annoying to a BB then watching a full bomber CV send wave after wave of bombers into enemy fighters. Or watching a CV bomb a non AA CL or DD instead of the BB that has 1/4 health left.

BB get mad beacuse when we ask for fighters the CV player will say something like "you have a scout" and yet that is true and i manage mine for the most part pretty well. Most times if you are playing agaist any decent CV you will have fighters sitting over you BB for most of the game. So sending that scout out dosn't really help.

To the fighter CV who think that it takes more multi tasking to play a CV then BB i would like to explain something to you from the BB side.

In a CV you do not always have to be watching what your boat is doing. I am not talking your planes but your ship itself. BB is constily needing to check its spot in battle line so it will not be shot.

BB that don't use auto aim actualy have to aim. unlike fighters that will auto fly to the hight of the enemy planes.

BB's if they want to be good need to learn to slingshot something that is far harder to master then draging fighters.

BB's that use AA then have another added set of guns to use as well as being able to gauge when to stop shooting AA for shooting ships. where they are on the battle line ect ect

CV's don't have to worry about stuff crossing them every time they go to fire.

The only thing the CV and BB both have to worry about equaly is the fact of getting bombed by enemy CV but both get a audio warning so i guess its tied on that point...

I love good CV players and I do play CV I belive that they are in general more usefull to win a game then BB but when it comes down to pure skill to play a bomber CV and a BB take the most skill to play in this game. Since BB's sight is tied to the CV alot of times a CV is really the one who decides who is going to win the game. You can have the best BB player in the server on your team but if he is blind for most of the match you will not win.

Well, you can be bomber whore cv and don't have to worry about baby sitting. Just use your DB or TB and
bomb all those enemy ships into oblivion!!! You can be as selfish as you want with your bomber whore CV.

Are you really ignorant about CV? As CV player I have to watch over my ship for incoming DBs and TBs,
and those pesky SS. And you know fighter planes can not detect submerged ss, so you always have to
anticipate where ss might be in the map.

A good CV players would not auto fly their planes at default hight but sometime they keep altering their
planes altitude by pressing l and, to avoid being shot. And here is my rule regarding flying any planes:
Thou Shalt Not Fly Thy Planes At 100!!

perhaps you are not understanding what i am saying. I am not talking about leaving your plane at defualt height but when your fighter does start to attack an enemy plane you do not have to spam l or , to get your planes to the right hight of the enemy they will do that for themselves. If a ship comes half way up my guidelines my shells don't magicly track and hit the ship for me I have to manualy account for that change.

If you would have read my post you would have notcied i talked about incoming bombers if you didn't know you get an audio warning of incoming planes. Btw both CV and BB deal with it so don't think your special. As for subs in general you have to worry about them after the BB do, so don't be saying that subs are more of a pain for you then BB.

I did not post my comments as an attack on a CV. I am giving you my prospective as a player that plays every class of ship in the game. I have a CV bomber, CV fighter, SS, BB's, AA ships, and torp ship/HH ships. If you take it as a attack on CV then that is a shame.

wow... was pretty sure i talked about this in my first post... anyway i am not talking about letting your fighters stay in a COD.
I am talking about if the enemy plane is at 73 height you do not need to move your plane to 73 for the fighters to attack each other. I am not saying that CV players do not have to micro manage the planes to get an advantage in the fight.
I am saying that you do not have it as hard as a BB to drive your ship well.

Well, I know that you get siren warning when there are DB or TB flying over your ships, but loading fps takes time
unlike BB's who can instantly fire AA ammo at incoming bombers. I can pop up smoke too but there is delay
between each use. Speaking of flying planes, why would I want my planes to be as hight as enemy planes and become easy target? Anyway, using T3 fighters against T4 fighters is much more challenging. I can't simply out
drag them so I have to dip down my planes just to avoid being shot.. Fortunately for me, some of CV players don't change their planes altitude and always leave them at default height.
