PUT AN END TO AIRPLANE SPOTTING

[Feramoon]

TITLE! FIGHTER PILOTS FLY AND STRIKE, THEY DONT HAVE 4 HANDS TO FLY, ATTACK, GET A BOOK WITH COORDINATES, PUSH BUTTONS AND CALLOUT IN RADIO ENEMY LOCATIONS ALL AT THE SAME TIME!

YES AND THIS IS ALL CAPS SHOUTING AND SCREAMING BECAUSE WARGAMING DONT PLAY THEIR OWN GAME IF THEY DID THEY WOULD HAVE THE MINIMAL COMMON SENSE TO KNOW WHY ALL AIRPLANE SPOTTING IS A CANCER IN THIS GAME! NOT ONLY PLAYER CONTROLLED AIRPLANES BUT SPECIALLY PATROL FIGHTERS!

SO YES AGAIN SCREAMING AND SHOUTING BECAUSE WITHOUT COMMON SENSE MAYBE LIKE THIS THEY CAN HEAR AND UNDERSTAND! MAYBE? TAKES AT LEAST A COUPLE OF BRAIN CELLS BUT WHO KNOWS?!!

WG don't care about Steam forum.

Typing in all caps is cruise control for cool.

Seriously no one wants to read all caps and it increases the chances of it being ignored.
It was a struggle to read.

Adapt how you play in CV games, just like you should based on what ships the enemy lineup includes - whether thats radars, stealthy torp boats, dangerous brawlers or whatever. Frankly a lot of CVs under use their spotting power but there are lots of ways to mitigate the issue even if the enemy Cv has a clue what they are doing. Ranting about it in capslock is not one of the ways to deal with it.

Screaming and shouting just means no one is ever going to take you seriously anyway. Good job!

Then there's what Nepgear said, which further adds to that.

Not to mention your first paragraph is utter rubbish anyway. You do realise that most of these planes in reality had a crew of at least two. Who did not have to push many buttons to use their radio. Radio which their command centre would usually listen in on, even if they were on squadron frequency. That push came to shove, flying and attacking could at least for a short time be done with just one hand.
If you're going to talk about a change in gameplay that definitely can be talked about, don't start it off with a full paragraph that makes you look like a fool with no idea what he's talking about to everyone who actually has that.

Wow so much caps. Too hard to read.

Bro, if you want to get rid of fighters spotting you, use AJW plane...

CV's are cancer. Accept the cancer or play a different game.

BTW historically speaking aircraft were the primary spotters of surface vessels in WW2.

Carriers do completely remove stealth and positioning from being a thing in this game. It's quite a shame really.

Little incorrect, a carrier player can only be in one place at a time, and it takes time to get there.
Thus things like "going dark" and smoke can still be useful. Not every game has a carrier and some game modes (Like odd tier random) also don't have CVs
But to be honest this mostly only effects DD players and people who don't want to share AA bubbles.
Planes for DDs have to go over 2km to spot you, If you have AA off, sometimes they miss and fly over you completely.

Or World of warships can pander to DDs even more.

Planes are certainly a powerful spotting tool, but I think the above is a bit of a stretch. As soon as anyone starts firing they will be showing where they are regardless of a plane seeing them, and good positioning and making use of stealth will still be massively relevant. As Heie mentioned in the above post its more of an issue for DDs but when they can potentially wander around unspotted for whole matches while spamming torps with impunity its nice to have a counter for that, and theres a lot of things a DD player can do to mitigate the issue. Adapting to the MM is part of the game.

Not really, once that plane heads towards you, there's no avoiding it, you're seen, you're focused

If your AA is off in a DD, not necessarily. I've often avoided being spotted even though the planes tried to find me. Even if it was only by a few hundred meters.
If your AA is on however, you will automatically be spotted by planes as soon as it starts firing on them. In a Gearing for example, that makes a difference of around 1.6 kilometres.

Skill issue.
Don't usually say stuff like that but here we go.

I was talking in general terms, no need to be an asshat. Carriers have removed as much from the game as they have added

[Uncle64]

I did not even try to read that screaming
But I know for sure that WG do play and they have clan of them self
