  Anyone else think that its ridiculous that the most decorated US ship of WWII, a "fighting city of steel" has gun space of 24? By 43 it had the most advanced AA weaponry of any US ship. Why the short-change? If any US vessel would be OP's, shouldnt it be this content?

I would like if the yorktown was given some extra gun space as well, perhaps if the york was allowed to atleast hold the US 7" singles or HH, and perhaps 3" duals.

I understand NF=/= RL, but its seems like quite the misrepressentation on the "big E". There are other CVs to choose from if you want to make an underpowered CV 2.5. But why choose the Enterprise and make it a dud?

Again, RL =/= Balance

 

And maybe you should look at some of the other Nation's CV3 stats to understand why it is Yorktown has the worst gunslots. Would you rather have a great gun battery and be at the bottom of the pack in planespace like Graf Zepplin?

I have to agree with the OP, yes its a CV3 but its a ECV and should be alot better then the yorktown, and im not talking about plane space

Surely the enterprise should have its twelve phaser arrays, three torpedo launchers and a supply of 250 photon torpedoes. But that might make it a little OP, just less than the RM bb4.

3 months later now and people still complaining about that? L2p.

 

Agreed. I have a Baern French ECV and Enterprise. I use my lexi but sometimes I want to BW my enterprise for luls. Then I realize I am food to ANYTHING that gets close as im defenseless. Atleast my bay can load some HH's

Stop complaining about the enterprise, oh wait that's right double standards. Only the enterprise not having a little more gun space doesn't completely ruin the game balance.

And I am happy sinking rm bb4 all day, I just would rather get the extra exp it deserves seeing as it IS overpowered.
