These videos are meant to provide an overall impression of a tech tree line in World of Warships. This third episode covers the USN and IJN Aircraft Carrier (CV) lines. The USN line made up of the Langley, Bogue, Independence, Ranger, Lexington, Essex and Midway. The IJN line made up of the Hosho, Zuiho, Ryujo, Hiryu, Shokaku, Taiho and Hakuryu. I talk briefly about their strengths and weaknesses and what you should keep note of when going up against these CVs. Enjoy!

well wargames sucks at tier 7 because ranger wasn’t full aircraft carrier i
had less displacement then hiryu
The element of USN CVs is being worse than their IJN counterparts. Ranger
has always been the best example of this. You can never shut down a Hiryu
unless he runs the 1/2/2 loadout (he won’t, 2/2/2 is almost guaranteed) and
he’ll do more damage than you. Run strike, he’ll shut you down. 1/1/1,
you’re just plain gimped. And they refuse to buff the Ranger, even though
it’s getting slaughtered in the stats. They even nerfed its xp gains, so
you get to suffer in it longer.
Great video but it was like drinking out of a fire hydrant. I will re-watch
this a number of times before deciding which cv line to follow. thanks.
this was useful
Don’t 122 Midway one shot Haki?
Also, hakiuyru
Hmm… I still believe that they shouldn’t allow the randomness of CVs
going in “I’ma go strike” and then get shut down by AS loadout…
especially for the lower tiers. Higher tiers can somewhat fight back with
their loadouts but lower tiers have it harder with going one loadout or the
other. Adaptiveness is key to this type of gameplay. Forcing some1 to play
only one type of style doesn’t work well in strategy games.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just want to know exactly how one gets one million
doubloons, ninety-nine million credits, eight million XP, and a commander
with +19 points to play with.
Whats that cool port?
IJN’s better at T10 in any line
I question if the Bogue should be in the U.S. CV line seeing as it was
intended as an escort carrier class for convoys, not a fleet carrier.
I don’t care what anybody says. I think carriers are the best looking ships
in the game, so graceful and majestic
background noise 🙁 so load :(
In a tech tree future video, can you go through the mods that we should use
in ships as well? I’m sure most people could benefit with that kind of
video.
torpedo bombers>dive bombers tho. you dont need to worry about RNG and the
damage is absolute. USN CV Nerf was unjustified and i cant see 1000 lb
bombs being used as a viable alternative.
Ichase when is my replay come out? I want to know my mistakes
When I play my american air supremecy CV I will massacre jap CV’s planes
but then I cant really assist my team with damage. When I play jap, either
I get faced with an AA build american CV and get my planes murdrered or if
against another jap, I can do lots of damage and have a decent game.
Even though I don’t play carriers, I was really sad when I saw that there
isn’t a Yorktown class in the tech tree. I mean, why wouldn’t you put the
Enterprise into a WW2 naval game?
Also were is the Yorktown class?
Once again, World of Warships favors the Japanese. This game is fun to play
but if the Japanese ships were so good, why did they lose? It not just
numbers.
Great info. keep them coming.
New mic?
cv’s are the best damage deallers ever 😀 i normally do 50000+ in an
average game in my zuiho
+iChaseGaming do you think you could put out a video on some attack
suggestions for T10 CVs? I’ve been having a bit hard time getting used to
midway’s new, faster dive bombers. ^^;
i have tier 8 usslexington and still dont have air supremacy on captain. I
can say for a fact US cvs suck it takes pure skill/luck to play them. You
get 3-4 squads since tier 1 and jap has 6 7 or sometimes 8. If the 2
players are equal in skill japanese cv will win everytime.
how do you have everything unlocked and all captains maxed out?
If I took a shot every time something is interesting or going to get
interesting, around 16 minute mark my liver would give out.
chase its going to be very interesting when the Russian carreas wil be
Man, I miss the USS Saipan
I like to play with the Hosho rather than the Langley. reason: 2
Torpedobombers enable crossfire against DD’s, giving you a 100% chance to
hit experienced DD Captains if executed right. Langley does not have this
defensive power against good DD captains. and dont tell me he has
divebombers, they are worth shit and are unrealiable as fuck against dds.
“CVs all still suck to play”
The “Balance” is stupidly not even close to being fun.
The really sad thing about this video is that you are right about there
being a clearly better option at every tier. Same holds true for the
battleship lines so far as well. You’d think WG would be able to pull their
heads far enough out of their own ass to be able to see this and actually
balance the game, instead of trying to milk it for all the money its worth
before it too goes the way of warplanes.
You might as well make one of these videos every major patch as carrier
balance in previous patches tends to go from one extreme to the next.
So i’m a very mediocre CV captain. But im at essex, and nearly at midway
(because i’m stubborn) I think you are totally right about the need for US
CVs to specialize, but im not sure what are the best upgrades for these top
tier ships. Should an AA CV focus on survivability/dps or on the ability to
crank out more planes with servicing and speed?
I just started working with the Langley – I have good games and I have bad
games…..never anything in the middle.
Thanks for this video, it helped out a lot.
I wish you can do strafing on ships with fighter bombers, to knock their AA
out or something like that
Dont know, always thought the US cvs are crappy balanced and there is no
reason not playing an IJN instead.Great video, thanks.
unbalanced fighter number :p
TY. Great info!It’s interesting to me that the US ships, which were IMO
significantly stronger in the real world, especially in durability, than
the IJN ships, are the weaker line in the game. I’d like them equal –
obviously for game play reasons, I don’t want the US ships to be
overpowered.
Just after playing Langley game with 109k damage in tier IV game, feels
like kicking puppies. LOL
What do you think about the new premium CV Saipan?
could you please tell WG to fix Nagatos turret #2 and #3 and replace the
current one with the one with Rangefinders (which are in the game files)
As probably the best CV player in WOWS. This is great insight. Thanks.
So why do you thing WG decided that you cant take 2 CVs into a division?
Thank you for the video, I play IJN cv’s currently on the ryujo.
“Interesting” counter: It’s over 9,000!!
Still wish they would add the fucking Yorktown class
Basically two once Extremely powerful class nerf to the ground. First the
USN CV got a massive indirect nerf with the introduction of IJN CV, and
then IJN CV got nerf something like 5 patch in a role, and then at last
they ruined the (Now decent because how largely pointless IJN CVs are) USN
CVs last few patches as well.
Absolutely worthless.
good video man, you should make one similar for Cruisers
One time I was playing on the EU server, I was in tier 3 and at the
Solomon’s. Entire team was dead. The only things alive was an enemy Zuiho
and our Hosho and Bogue. Both the Zuiho and Hosho pushed forward into the
middle cap. Everybody was yelling at our Hosho to ram him. And for a
moment, it looked like he would. And then he turned away. And then he got
killed by the Zuiho’s torpedo bombers. And then the Bogue, who had already
lost all of his aircraft, could do nothing as the enemy team capped all
three control points and won.
Fuck those worthless sky cancers.
Awwww 🙁 2nd like :(
Carriers….yay….absolutely worthless.
damn this early huh
spot reserved ;)
