Title kinda says it all. I've made it all the way up to the county class in the UK shipline and I honestly just don't know where these types of ships fit in. I'm sailing a CV County with the dual 8's on the L spec for higher range...

Blitzkrieg - I try and stay far back and  lay down high angle fire support from the backlines but run into a few issues...

A)Maps too small - the Hobbit Wars map is great if you plan on driving at the enemy and torping or broadsiding... it appears to be terrible for HA shooting and ranged boats. 
B)Tons of smaller boats... DD and otherwise. It's hard to do HA shots for me to begin with - forget about hitting FFs and some DDs.
C)Twin 8's at my level (46 or so, RLD Gunners) don't block up at HA long ranges. It makes it particularly hard to hit much unless I just spray and pray (which isn't much fun).

I've tried a few Great Battles and come up with this issue...
A)Carriers... divebombers and torp planes eat me alive. They seem to delight in targetting me first.
B)Battleships with high level gunners, etc. one shot me constantly. It feels fruitless to join a GB because I usually get insta-gibbed by a Battleship that outranges me and finds me a nice juicy target.

So... any advice? Any advice for UK CV's in General? The County?
