I have leveled approx. 20 BOs between lvls 75 and 120, so I was not being "selfish" and asking to be pandered. I was pointing out that less skilled, more casual players need to be taken into consideration for the game to survive. I'm not saying that you need to balance ships that way, but when you are talking about changes that require you to level a whole different crew I think this applies. If your only crew was a CV crew at lvl 103 with a mix of fighters and bombers and suddenly you needed scouts to have a competitive crew, that would be frustrating.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
I'm sorry too. I think I and others, have misunderstood your point as well. With written communication, these things happen, so no hard feelings here. If I'm not mistaken, they are increasing the visibility of the bombers. So your choices would be sending mixes of bombers/fighters or sending scouts/fighters. Giving fighters their current sight ability makes it harder to the other two types of aircraft to survive.
Its funny that you are talking about a CV 103 level crew. I have been leveling constantly and have:
BO L99
4x FP L102,94,94,92
3x DB L94,93,85
1x TB L88
4x RP L37,36,36,35
I've found that using my mix of fighters/bombers I get slaughtered by the all fighter ships. They are sending 11-12 fighters against my 10 fighters. I only have that capability because I bought the L92 FP and he was on the bargin rack as he was screwed up as a RP. So in short, if a new CV starts off leveling a mix of bombers and fighters like I did, he'll find that he's going to get to put up a mix of FP and DB/TB. Thats bad news becuase the FP are not only faster, but can see further and now he is outnumbered on top of that. Look at the shortage of bombers in the game.
Trust me, if it were a nerf of plane capability that would make CVs useless, I'd go nuts. I fight LJ all the time. With this system, it makes the other two types of planes more usable, especially bombers. Frankly, I don't like being used as nothing but a scout ship. I prefer to either fight with my fighters or bomb with my bombers. I also think that all the getting called noob will slowly end, as the BB players realize that the fighters just don't have the sight range anymore. Perhaps you and I should ask to join the test server and try it out?
