So the B25's drop 4 bombs per plane, and you get a total of 6 planes. So you drop a total of 20 bombs? I can tell that you're a history teacher, not a math one :)
Can't expect much from an American/Canadian.
@@mayankshekhar9297only the moon, same math that won your big war for you, on both fronts.
Mountbatten be like: I made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgement, and I don’t expect to be forgiven. I’m simply here to apologize.
I think poor, ender65 knows exactly how I feel playing this game sometimes. ☣CVs🤣
Mountbatten: “You can only pen Tier VIII CV’s with these bombs.”
IJN: *Midway flashbacks intensify*
Truly perfect. XD Would only be better if it was Enterprise instead.
To be fair, most reviews I've read about her were unfavorable.
Still, I was going to get her anyway for her history, and nothing I saw in the replays made me think otherwise: she has good plane regeneration, decent torps and AP bombers, and those B-25 can really mess up some ships depending on the deck plating.
Sometimes I think reviewers just want to be contrarians...
The ap bombers are still very inconsistent, the torp bombers give damage comparable to kaga, and the B25s are absolute monsters provided it doesnt get shredded by flak in a double uptier. Horny is pretty ok tbh, it’s biggest fault besides the ap bombers are slow planes, but that’s just an american thing.
Another bonus: The torpedos are amazing against DD's because of the short fuse time.
honestly i think its because most reviewers are comparing Hornet to all T8 carriers. which in doing so, she's lackluster, especially compared to her sister
I've loved my Hornet ever since I got her. She isn't a ship that's not for everyone, but I've found that it's my favorite carrier that I've ever had. Glad you took another look at the ship to see how it really is :D
She isn't my favorite but is definitely a close second for me.
This is my favorite and most consistant T8 cv by far. A ton of fun playing her !
Shes great in the new T8 operations!
T6 planes up tired to T8 compensated by large squad size and fast restoration time.
So basically Kaga with B25 and AP :)
Not really. Hornet’s reserves are nowhere near kaga level, and kaga’s plane restore time is abysmal. While her torp bombers are T6, her AP bombers are stock lexington planes. Honestly I think hornet’s way less consistent than kaga, but is still a decent option unlike a few of the other premium T8 CVs (graf, saipan, and indomitable)
Glad you gave hornet another shot. She is certinly not a "OVERPOWERED" Premium, but she is fun. The torpedos are your main damage source, the AP bombs.....yeah their finicky as hell, you'll get a couple citadels out of them but don't expect much. THE B 25 MICHELS, are quite the SLEDGE HAMMER if you bomb something that has less then 43mms of deck armor. (god thats such a WIERD number) I remember bombing a Carrier perfectly with the B25s and i CHUNKED 1/3rd of their HP off in a single STRIKE.
Those B25s considering you can predict your strike course, you can put huge pressure to destroyers 😁
she changed my mind on CVs. Love this ship My first game I sunk three ships and did 125000 in damage.
With respect, sir, you need to work on your drops 🤣
The AP bombs are sub par, but I find them to be alright. They're decent against most cruisers and can be ok against some battleships I find. Never reliable though.
I don't struggle getting citadels, but the damage isn't amazing.
They're borderline OP when bombing an RN CV though in my experience.
Shes still no Match for Kaga, Chkalov and all the other big dogs at T8
Kaga is much worse against DDs, in my experience: Hornet can drop them with torps from much closer, plus the Mitchells are a lot more reliable than the Kaga's dive bombers, even though you have to wait for them.
@@landochabod7that might be true but...
1.
U cant compare HE to AP bombers
2.
In the overall fight Kaga is so much better its not even worth buying Hornet if u already have Kaga or can purchase her (exept u are a collector ofc)
@@Yog-Sothoth620 I'm comparing the Kaga's HE bombers to the Hornet's B-25s.
And Hornet's AP bombers are at least usable against some targets, while the Kaga's rocket planes are only useful for spotting or resetting a cap, at most.
@@Yog-Sothoth620 ive played over 100 games in kaga and hornet and saying they dont compare is just not true. Hornet is far far more effective against cruisers and dds, kaga is only better against battleships
@@zachdebuhr6347 and i have played 1000 games in bouth of them and can tell u, u are talking bs
I love the hornet as much as I love the immelman. They are both so fun but on different teirs
I have question... Here in WoWS ok... Here in WoWS... If Enterprise's nickname is "Enty", and Yorktown's is "Yorky", what's Hornet's?
.
Idk just asking....
💀
It's Patrick.
I don't know that either.
I just know she likes moving in the wet stuff and likes to move slow.
Hornety
Hory
I use my B-25s to decimate destroyers. knocked a Holland for 18.6k damage. It was so satisfying.
Hey i know you just released a video about some of the best money making ships in the game 3 weeks ago but after the economic rework I was wondering if you could do a video on it again because I just want to know which ships are good grabs after the rework.
Just got it from the air strike container, honestly by playing both midway line and pobeda this hornet feels pretty handy tbh
I got this ship yesterday from the wing of freedom containers i been wanting this ship just as a history piece
Idk what hornet you got, but mine dunks on anything with the ap bombers. Specially cruisers never had an over pen, one of the two a miss or a strike
I've avoided CVs and then got this yesterday in one of the American Independence Day Crates ... and ... I have no idea what I'm doing. She looks cool though.
I was playing fuso, and ran into a hornet and she set 3 fires in one run, I was madge
I bought Chkalov and Hornet in a same time and even so I was worried about hornet, I bought it as a replacement for Enterprise in the matter of appearance...
However surprisingly in the end I ejoy and deal more damage in Hornet than Chkalov even so I am actually, I would say experienced Soviet CV player and never touched the US ones..
The photo looks really good
IGN ltcomderscott NA : I got HORNET mainly because my Father served on her. but I've done better with her than my ENTERPRISE despite her short coming still glad I have her. What can I say I love this ship.
how do you get the uss hornet
Hornets planes are gimped around the b25 gimmick.
Overall Kaga and Chkalov are still the 2 best cvs in T8.
Edit: I said in game instead of t8. I didn't think about the cvs above.
At their Tier. The "best" (i mean incredibly overpowered) CV's are the United States and the Eagle with their Jets.
@@TheEmmetdocbrown kaga can handle TX games the best due to her gigantic plane factory storage.
I wasn't thinking about the higher tiers when I wrote that. I'll edit it.
Shokaku which is literally better than Kaga:
Tbh. Hornet is quite insane when it comes to damage. One decent B25 bomb can literally deletes any ship HPs. Atleast 20K per 2 mins. Due to how WeeGee coding works. Means the B25 start the cooldown when you launched it. Not to mentioned 5 Torps per attack making her quite annoying to deal with. Oh and B25 is literally impossible to shot down if enemy Hornet have atleast 2 braincells.
tbh the things that gets on my nerve is that SBD dauntless does level bombing instead of dive bombing.
I'm also hope that Hornet could get TBF avenger in the future.
hope you can make a review of the aquila soon
When Hornets AP bombers get better dmg to moving targets, than Graf Zeppelin "drunken" AP bombers in stationary target.
I see enemy fuso. approace it from bow with bombers, got 2 ricochee the opposite side of ship. Trying it again this time from side, ricochee and non-pene. Trying it for 3rd time 30 degree angle from aft, got 2k pene and ricochee.
that's good to know
You lost me as soon as it became obvious it was a CV game lol.
looks like the best CV to me.
I will never understand this new math, 6 planes times 4 bombs equal 20 bombs. Maybe that is why I could never help my daughter with her math homework. 😁
I don't seem to have much issue hitting citadels of battleships or cruisers, but the bombs just do so little damage that they're really not worth using except to last hit a very low target or to sacrifice to DEF AA ships.
Not sure what sort of teacher you are SLM but last I checked 4x6=24, not 20 ahem ;~) lol also why on earth, or water, do you keep approaching targets in the torps planes from along the length of the ship and not from the side?
I was the prinz eugen in that game
Hornet is great. Is she the best? No. But she is a top Teir 8 cv. Especially because you can half HP or nuke a dd 😄
So ok if MM does not up tier you. Ok so you will have a good game maybe 1 out of every 10 games. Great.
Hornet feels like a tier 7 carrier than tier8, wg missed a chance in bringing back odd number cvs.
I‘m glad they did. so i can atleast have cv free games in a full t7 setup.
slow down when using AP bombers！
You really want to get her nerfed do you?
Not wrong RNG made game win or lose
Enjoy CVs? 🤢
Just wanna say, I really dislike the titles of the videos... clickbait sucks. I'd watch more if I knew what exactly is the topic rather than click, spin forward. See what is it about and click away. Just an opinion.
Anyway i can get her for coal instead of gold
better being nice to my little sister I don't want to have to make some renovations to your homes this goes for everyone I track down
Have we not figured out by now that Carrier's have no place in warship battles. If you wanted to fly around like tinkerbell you can play war thunder. Hiding on maps edge spaming waves of garbage makes the game boring as faq
Not trying to be checky or anything but it's painful to watch this game xD
One can see that this is clearly not your class...some painful mistakes there.
Also: Yea tbh the Hornet is very weak compared to all the other great T8 CVs...but still playable for sure.
cheers mate
Having started the carriers again, I have to ask what T8 CV is good? Started the Lexington 1-2 weeks ago and it has been a miserable experience on every level. I liked the carriers before the change.
tac squad available every 162 seconds ... boohoo. not like it is designed to be available after following normal squad. just like on superCVs "LoNG rElOAd iS ThE LiMItINg FacToR" no its not, as long they come of CD just as other attack ends
If tac squad CD starts AFTER ending tac squad then we can talk about long cd as balancing/limiting factor.
third?
i prefer dropping straight more dmg, look dropping dipersion so cool...
hornet dropping side hull less dmg and spend like 1k-8k
rather this dropping straight more dmg around 12k - 24k
Got to say, I'm kind of with the KGV player in chat. 20k salvos that he can do nothing to prevent. He can't angle, he can't dodge (I'm not sure how anyone JustDodge(TM)'s that B25 flight) and he can't prevent the attack... He just has to sit there and take it, because WG need that 8% player base.
The one tempting thing about Subs is that CV's have no counterplay to subs (yet) so they can potentially give CV players a taste of their own 'fun'.
I don't like the Hornet at all. The planes are way to slow and easy to kill,, and don't even do a lot of damage and the tactical squad is a plain joke. The fire bomby spread all over the place, being completely worthless. Not my kind of carrier
fifth
Yeah, we REALLY need you to recommend and promote skycancers... I am VERY disapointed mr. SLM :(
cvs shouldn't be in the game
#BANCVs
You can’t ban CV in a WW2 game.
@@LarryWater true that...
But it still is a toxic class. If you try to dodge you either show broadside to half enemy team or instantly gets side dropped. Also... the aspect of ship vs ship loses it's meaning.
It can to a certain degree also be said about DDs, but they always go the risk of being spotted. Either by DD, radar or CVs. If so happens they can die in seconds. The CV-class only needs to park behind an island with no need to care about juking shells, angling the ships etc.
Second
Lol first
Go to the SD
Ever since you became a CC you are more pro WG. I used to depend on your reviews but no longer.
I’m not part of the CC program
ALL CVs should get unfavorable reviews. scumbags ruin the game.
All CVs are garbage. They are one of the main reasons the game have gone down hill.
CVs have been in the game from day one, and they arguably used to be even stronger before the rework.
The only reason the game is going down hill is the ever increasing amount of 45% WR halfwits that insist on playing PVP game modes.
CVs are not more toxic than HE spammers, island huggers or Petropavlosks.
CVs suck...
Don't care hate cv's and subs.
Look out for the dislikes from the cv haters
don't like cv's... so don't like this vid.
