  • In this video, I explain the strengths of the new US support carriers. There is no gameplay, just me talking.
    To correct myself, Independence does have the improved fighters.

    WG makes a "support" CV and gives it all the tools to be the most aggressive and deal the most damage. What could possibly go wrong?

      These 2 are so utterly broken that I hate seeing them on any other cv or another class. Drops like 3 fighter squadrons with huge areas of coverage and deals more damage than my planes as a support cv.

    I just got a 2 CVs match with my div friend (york and amagi), and the player who use yorktown managed to save us from the swarm of enemy planes (ranger and kaga) droping smoke and fighters. We managed to survive to the end (i also got the AA badge). Sadly, our other teammates throw hard.

    The "selfish" smoke is a good idea, until WG finally rework the CV spotting later. Assuming they will actually do the rework of course.
    Nonetheless, I'm waiting for some montage where Essex will drop her smoke to support Schlieffen at bulldozing the whole flank without being spotted (using secondaries & torp only).

    • @ReiYukihyo
      @ReiYukihyo  7 місяців тому +4

      her aviation setup is pretty much the same as essex except her torps are extremely nerfed in alpha. as for armor, she has an underwater citadel which makes her essentially immune to most salvos (unless hit with plunging fire). you are safe from enemy colossus as yorktown.

    Sooo if 30mm armor doesnt matter if youre smoked why not just increase the armor more? Right doesnt matter if it has 36mm of armor regardless if it smoke.... I just think this suppose to be used for more team play and smoking for team instead of just blanketing yourself because of bad armor

      You can get some of them from the event pass and after finishing all the stages up to 320 tokens. As for outside of the event pass.. that's the best part. You don't. Only other way is the armory random bundles. It sucks lmfao

    The smoke screen is the most disgusting part of these carriers. I don't generally agree with the "mindlessly bash everything CV and sub related" crowd, but being able to drop smoke as a carrier for your team with relative impunity is genuinely disgusting.

      Stealing a DD gimmick, basically the CV's speciality - stole the spotting gimmick, stole the torpedo gimmick, stole the being the fastest ship gimmick, now even the smoke gimmick. If they add the dumb minelaying gimmick for the new IJN carriers, they'll steal a real life DD gimmick that DD's don't even get in this game :D
      And worst of all, none of these gimmicks will make these carriers "support ships" - they'll still be straight up DPS.

      Same, I actually really enjoy CVs being in the game and playing them, but this is just, way too much. At the very least, if you're gonna let some CVs drop smoke, remove torpedo squadrons from them, make them have less health and be slower, make them deal less damage overall, or atleast something. It's cool to see this stuff become a thing, support carriers is such a fun concept for the game, but God damn, these aren't support carriers, they're just normal ass carriers that have an ability which makes them go from arguably overpowered, to completely insane and unarguably overpowered. If you don't make any reasonable compensations, then you aren't making a support carrier, you're making probably the strongest class even more ridiculously strong for no good reason.

      This game isn’t that hard to be good at. Maybe you should look for better and more positive players that can actually help you advance yourself to understand high tier play. T10 isn’t that op if you actually know what’s going on in the game and how to fully utilize your ship.
