I like playing carriers but it is soul destroying when you get the other sides sole carrier scouted out and your carrier companion launches two full flights of torpedo bombers at a destroyer on the other side of the map that is no immediate threat to anything. 'Cause it's all about the kills innit :mad:
 
I've not yet seen a carrier battle where the carrier has helped. I tell a lie I once saw a squad of planes torpedo and sink a battleship but apart from that they dont seem effective. I sunk one in my DD it was so easy.
 
Just unlocked the langley as was bored of the other ships. Air combat needs some work very boring to say the least.

I need to keep trying it and get to higher tiers, at the moment it isn't for me either but I think maybe with faster planes and more of them it could get more interesting.

Mainly just loving my Gremyaschy atm :)

Carrier matchmaking is really broken in this at the moment. It's like the mm system has no idea how to balance them. Had several games where it puts me and another langley or hosho v a tier 6 carrier. Consequenty every group of fighters we threw up even 2 v its 1 got wrecked and it appeared my fighters couldn't even shoot the t6's torp bombers down.

Have to agree, ive been in a match a couple of times now in the Langley and even a tier 5 carrier's attack planes can shoot down my attack planes like there's no contest, sure the tier 5 should technically win but only by just bit. The tiers of carriers are very unbalanced at the moment. I even mentioned it in my open beta feedback survey.
 
They've basically said they'll continue adding to IJN/USA. Next full nation to be added is Russia/USSR on the basis that Russia is wargaming's biggest market. After that it will either be Germany or Britain, you hear different things on which will come first at different times.

Beyond that in the far future, France, Italy and possibly a combined European tree for everyone else who had single ships but not enough for a whole tech tree.
 
To be honest I am getting fed up of this game. I'll play game after game, with loss after loss, whether I do particularly well or not. If I am THAT bad that I am the cause of all my losses, then why would I continue playing? :(

Meh, I wanted to like this game so much as it looks really good, but I'm still not having any particular fun playing it. I will probably try again, but for now I am done.

You can play absolutely out of your skin and still lose if your team are terribad.

Still loving the game here.

True but I am loving it way more than WOT. Probably because I liked the Battlestation Pacific/Midway games and it reminds me a bit of those.
I thought I was doing really well with the money but after buying all the upgrades etc I've got zilch credits/normal currency whatever its called.
In WOT you can sell your old components but in this you can't. Pity as I could do with the dosh.
Had a game yesterday where the other team were moaning its not fair we had a carrier and they didnt. Told them to chill as it might mean nothing but they just berrated me. They slaughtered my team till I was left in my little Battleship. People just dont understand its one thing to have a carrier on one side its another thing to have a person who knows how to play it.
Also had another game where from the off for some reason one guy shot up a ship from our side and he went pinky colour. They continued to argue for most of the game and we lost.
Saying that been having some good wins.
 
Some players complain far too much. The game is still in Beta after all, albeit one of the most complete Betas I have ever played.

I am harder on myself when I make mistakes the get me torp'd or over reach myself.

I have a Minekaze as my credit earner! I am experiencing the same credit issue at times.
 
I do like my ship line up currently - though the temptation to get the Agto is very strong, though I did annoy someone a lot when they sailed around a corner, right in front of my Sims :) full broad side, 8 torpedos and no were to go = 1 dead t8 ship.

Whats everone currently got?

I've got St Louis, Sampson, Sim's, Wyoming beta, Gremy, Iwaki Alfa, Ubari, Kuma, Minakazi.

Alll most at t6 IJN DD, which some have said is a step down, but I'm unsure so we'll see - but I do like the japp DD game play - much like the light tonk game play i enjoy in WoT

I'm pretty much at the same place. The "get 4 wins for 500 free exp" mission took me hours to achieve I kid you not and if it wasn't for me feeling I need to get value for money from my months premium I probably would have stopped by now.

I cannot get a win in my Warspite for love nor money as Cleveland's and other OP cruisers just HE spam me to death at this tier with their insane DPM. The Yubari my other premium ship I have to resort to playing as a gimped DD without any abilities.

That leaves my non-prem ships that I am working on which are stock without equipment so their performance relies heavily on the rest of the team :(

Premium ships are very much meh in my opinion.

Cruisers are good, but all it takes is roughly 3 citadels to pretty much take any of them no matter what the tier. Clevelands are pretty squishy are relatively easy to take out 1 on 1. They are strong but no means overpowered for the tier imo.

Work on the normal ships. I am working my way through my Mogami at the moment and find it a great ship, especially for the 15 x 155mm HE spam mode it currently finds itself in ;)

Any ships no matter what you are in depend on the rest of the team to not be complete spanners to get a win. It doesn't matter if you are stock or fully upgraded.
 
Only played 10 games over the weekend before I threw towel in, 8 games I got rammed into by my own team not to mention one guy firing torpedo off.

Losing patience with WoW atm.
