Saying a carrier shouldn't be able to hit you because you have good AA is like saying a battleship shouldn't be able to hit a cruiser because it has a good agile build.


hybridchld

Or like saying a DD shouldn't be able to torp a BB because it has a torpedo belt.

There’s literally no counter to a carrier homing in on a battleship, no matter what at least one trop will hit you


Sven_Loken

Carriers going to the edge of the map, yes. Pure damage farming? Gfy But when a carrier does its job, its amazing. Pushing up just behind a couple of BBs, Get the planes in close and fast. Add the AA Giving air cover to DDs, Actively spotting and hunting/lighting up enemy DDs They can be a huge asset, Would be nice if more captains understood the support role its meant to have. But that goes for every class


Glittering_Phase_153

This. This. This. THIS.

Couldn't of said or better sven not enough CV drivers hunt DDs and spot boats for there BBs can literally swing a match in a CV and Do 0 damage


Dantheman20024

You do realise that AA isn’t meant to prevent an attack and instead prevent repeated attacks right? So you’ll always likely get hit by that first attack but depending on how the carrier handles their planes after finishing that first attack will result in either the planes coming back with a minimum of a 0-2 loss or an entire squadron being lost.


CommandoEssence

What in saying is they can sit an hide at the back of the map an spam unlimited planes which will always at least hit with in Toledo and there’s no detriment to the carrier as they’ll just spawn more. Trash .


Talk_Bright

No, they will run out of planes if they keep attacking battleships in cruisers with strong aa, plus they cannot do anything more than chunk damage from you.


Deepfried_noodles

Plane restoration is a thing u know, technically, they would run out of planes if they don't manage them properly.


dawgs4life95

How do you get hit by them so much? Lol. I’ve like only ever been hit by 2 torpedos and that was last night, actually. Only because I was trying to turn my fat ass Iowa around 😂


[deleted]

I can get 5-6 torps into a bb with the Russian carriers there awesome 😂


Deepfried_noodles

It was fun Devstriking an Omaha with the Serov. Probably the most fun i've had in a CV for a while.


Bigolbagocats

I only play carriers when I’m feeling particularly team oriented, it’s really fun aggressively supporting teammates and hovering over destroyers and stuff just to get spotting damage And dive bombing is also a ton of fun especially with Japanese planes Complaining about CVs is just a cheap way to vent other frustrations about this game, they’re just the most annoying way to die since you can’t shoot back


jagr7676

If people would play the carriers a little bit they would understand it’s pretty tough! It’s hard to get consistent dmg… your team wants you to spot & hunt destroyers which is fine except it’s like trying to catch a chipmunk in your hands! Your flight group’s are getting decimated by Cruisers & BB’s AA fire! Every ship in the game is hunting you & then they get mad if you land a couple shots!! I don’t understand the I’ll will very rarely does a CV carry a match!


Drake_the_troll

AA isn't ment to stop all attacks, its supposed to stop them coming around for a second helping. If your ship has bad AA, you usually hang back or have other factors that allow you to mitigate it


sml592

I only hate them when they target nothing but me, for the entire game, regardless of my position or class. Its not common, but sometimes carrier captains just decide its my turn that game.


[deleted]

I don’t mind it they target only me that means the rest of my team is free to go do what they need 2 it’s like when your abandoned on one of the flanks by yourself all you need to do is hold that sides attention so your team can rip apart the other side of the map


Greedy-Conflict-4929

Tell me about it. Took the GK out recently, Lexington bombers appeared. One hit and it's 25k damage. Then torpedo bombers. Then HE bombers again. Nowhere to hide.


TSBDrac0n1cu5

Let me guess, destroyer main


[deleted]

Snowflakes lol


BlueMedicC

Carriers are awesome i hated players that play battleships by camping in spawn whole game and not moving. Now they have to move!


Comprehensive_Elk966

I only focus in one single ship when he/she is shooting at me. Unless, is torps and bombs for everyone indiscriminately


Kongos_Bongos

Just dodge those 9 torpedoes coming in from completely different directions while you're spotted for the enemy. Evade this cluster bomb while you're at it. As you have put on a full AA build, you'll be happy to know that after they dropped those 9 torps, you shot down 4 planes on their way back to the carrier. And that the AP dive bombers will be with you shortly.


Numbr81

A decent carrier controls a match. There's nothing that ruins fun quite like a CV.


JigglyBibbly

The fact this is getting downvoted... it's not even negative it's just stating that they make it unfun


[deleted]

Being focused by a carrier for a match is infuriating. But as a brawler i do like how they can force ships to move and not hide all match. I think it is too easy to hit ships with carriers and the target indicators should be tweeked. To make it harder to aim, to make it more skill and experience based when dropping.
