OMG the Carrier Rework is so bad!

[Kobold]

I come back into this game, after i did 2 year break.

I played a few mates with the destroyer and i just though, why is no carriers playing...
i remember 2 years ago, there was atleast to 90% a carrier in my games.

Long story, but to make it short... i choosed ,own carrier and the rework is such a epic fail, the developer did such a bad job, it was no fun at all... no wonder why no one is playing this.

How long is this rework inside this game now and why they even reworked CV?

Will the devs roll this back any time soon?

I love the new carriers. Their now playable for those of us who cant manage a dozen different things. Likewise they decrease the influence cvs have over the battle. No more winning because your cv is good and loosing bc its bad.

It's been around for a few months now, but they're still adjusting it. Overall more players than not seem to think CV's are a lot more fun now. More people play them now by far. Carriers were almost totally dead before the rework.

Why do you say no one is playing it though? You only just got back yourself so have nothing to base that on. An awful lot happened in the last two years. Stats showed more people playing/staying around after the rework. It is taking them a rather long time to balance it out - but it'll come around.

Before the rework there was a wide gap between good CV players and "everyone else." Good CV players could easily win an entire game based on their one ship and that wasn't good for anyone. The rework made it so there's less of a gap.

It will definitely not be rolled back. They put a year of work into it before initial release. In my opinion they may change/modify it more, but it's definitely here to stay - like it or not.

It has been a joy lately to be playing more and more matches with no carriers in them. Destroyers can actually be stealthy! Cruisers and battleships don't have to worry about being destroyed before they can fire a single shot...because that's always fun. -.-

You sadly have to relearn the class, but the same principles apply as before and you have faster planes. New CV is more arcadey sort of gameplay but still takes some sort of clue how to play to be effective.

Newest update has balanced things somewhat and has meant the less good cv players now actually do badly on xp which didnt happen so much previously.

[Howard Roark]

I agree with the OP. Prior to the rework carries were my favorite class (not that I was particuarly good in them). The rework sucked all the fun out of them for me, I find the new mechanics boring and unrewarding. While I doubt they will ever return to the RTS system, I really hope they do; I've all but stopped playing my carriers. Good on anyone who likes the rework, but I find it fundementally unapealing.

Plus, the rework seems to have failed in it's goals. While the rework was designed to close the skill gap, the available evidence is that the gap hasn't shrunk and that in a good players hands carriers are still game winning beasts (slingshot drop anyone?). There is a reason carriers aren't being allowed into clan battles. Furthermore, while there was a big boost in carrier numbers following the launch of the update, the numbers have dropped to near pre-rework levels.

one month ago, there were two carriers in each team in all matches

If it's supposed to be a joke, why am I crying?

[Jackson]

I can't bring myself to cry about it. It's gonna be bad for the game, but it'll benefit me...

I like how they reworked the CV, at last now the players need a bit of skill and is not all automatic, i think the problem are two:
1 planes to slow
2 rockets bomb and above all torpedo don't cause enough damage.
Last game i played need 9 torpedo for sink a Bayern, my planes can shot 2 torps at once, the Bayern don't have a good AA so if you find it alone and you lucky can hit by 4 torps than you must back, 4+4+1 you have to go and come back 3 times, the game is already over and you had time to sink just 1 ship.

I was forgetting, the worst thing is that planes can be spotted before ships, that's crazy!

[Kamiyama]

IMO they need to dramatically increase the damage your planes can do.

Every plane in a squadron should fire or drop payload all at once during an attack run. No more of this one or two at a time BS.

Make it so they can carry additional ammo depending on their ship or tier, so maybe they could perform another run or not depending on that.

Each individual hit does so little damage it's mind-boggling that it works the way it does. Why bother attacking with one torpedo that hits for so little damage?

Carriers are completely impotent. With the game currently balanced the way it is, they should just be removed from the game.

[Moto24]

The rework was fine (although the RTS style was fine) it's how the constant back and forth nerfing of planes that has made playing CV less enjoyable.

You shouldn't be penalized if you do well in a cv, damage by planes is so bad unless your a T10.

And whats the point of having separate flights when your better off just dropping planes right after take-off or risk losing all before you can drop, AA is so op now you are lucky to get one pass in. So you are now limited on how many drops you can make which equals less damage when you didn't do that much to begin with when you could get drops with the full squadron.

I'm just glad I didn't by a prem CV.

[Boomer]

At this point I'd rather they be removed from the game tbh.

You've played 6 carrier games, in co-op. 2 games in each tier 4 carrier. That's not CV's needing more damage that's you needing to learn how to play them. Not to mention co-op will always end up with less damage as the ships are so easy to kill by surface ships.

[Boomer]

Heh, the matches i've been in, it almost always ends up as carrier vs carrier in the end because they seem to wipe out the surface ships with ease. If anything I see them doing too much damage. :D
