If the enemy doesnt have CVs, they cant sustain vision, that meaning you can sustain vision for your team, meaning your BBs wont be blind and wont cry like they most of the time do. 

IF you target first the BBs and for the end of the battle, the CVs, you will most likely fail like a BW/TBW CV, since the enemy will still have vision and your planes WILL be shot down.



Give me one reason why any of this is credible.

 

It works.  When I BW, my first targets are always the opposing CVs.  I get bombers up in multiple small waves as fast as possible, micro them around incoming ftrs and kill the CVs.  I usually manage to kill at least 2 of the CVs in the first five minutes of the game, blinding at least half of their map, then I go after the 3rd if my fellow CVs haven't already.  In every game that I successfully sink their CVs quickly, I win.  Even with crappy BBs, I can still manage to help the team win.  Sight = Right, and if they don't have it, they will lose. 

 

Whereas if I concentrate on dropping tbs or dbs on nothing but BBs and such, we almost always lose.  In act, I would bet credits on every game that I spend bombing BBs and ignore the CVs that I would lose. 

 

It just makes sense, if you want to BW you should be killing off the competition.  Once you've gotten rid of at least the CVs that will be directly competing with you (north vs north...), you have a free hand at the rest of his team without fear of ftrs attacking your bombers.

 

That is how this is credible.  So now it's your turn, how is not credible?

It's incorrect.

You target ships in the order of how threatening they are to your team. Say there's a retarded BW that keeps on missing auto DB and a pro QV with it. By that list, he's telling me to ignore the pro QV and keep bombing the CV.

By the time that CV died, your teammates ceased to exist.

There's a reason why you can look to your enemy team composition, do you? Though at times I fail to look at that too (I'm too sleepy most of the times I played this game). In every decision you make there's a weighing loss that goes with it. But make sure that whatever the output you produce is worth equal, or even better more than what was lost. At least, this is my bombing doctrine.

fair enough, tho I usually don't pay much attention to what the enemy CV is doing.  I just sink it.

FWing is for Players with High-Level Pilots (Level 120).

 

Level-40 Fighter Pilots in a FW CV = failure.

 

It is true that Fighters can easily down Torpedo Bombers and Dive Bombers; thus, BWing is Strategically unsound; except, for Players with High-Level Pilots.

 

However, Fs have Lower Flight Duration than TBs & DBs & Ss; thus, they need to be Recalled sooner and more frequently than TBs & DBs & Ss; and, F Squadrons take a longer time to Ready For Flight than TB Squadrons & DB Squadrons of equal size.

 

Fighters don't have Visual Radius that Scouts have; but, Fighters are more effective at shooting down enemy planes than Scouts.

 

FWs can deny the enemy BWs from sinking Team Ships; but, FWs can't attack Enemy Ships; thus, a Solitary FW at the End Of Battle against a 0 CV Enemy Fleet is a useless CV at worst and a 2nd Rate Scout CV at best.

 


I have level 115+ fighters and I run FW on a regular basis. Should I sell my CV crew quenirland?

But surely you can tell that a QV is more of a threat than an at level CV1 who keeps trying to bomb from the side of the ship rather than the front or back of it and missing? Or launches their bombers straight into fighters? Or maybe never drops bombs but all they do is let the bomber get shot down to crash into the boat they want to bomb?

Get it right, you sink the entire enemy team.

FYI, USN DB Damage sucks, hit 240 of 255 and its only does 300k...


Not even running a full CV crew...

2) BB6s, 5s and AAW and ASW ships.

3) BB4s and 3s.

4) any remaining ship in the map.

Other thing, if you are a BW CV, dont waste a 16 bomber wave in fast movers (FFs DDs and some CLs), doesnt help your team if you do that.

Pyro's right. If the enemy CV has any deceny at playing, they'd know to send fighters to the BW on your team and the BW gets owned. Clean and Clear. Its not hard doing it with even a CV1.  

BWing is a good playstyle. The fun is defenitely there. Just atleast have 2 Fighters on you to give yourself and your team a fighting chance whenever you get screwed over by a decent player that knows how to use his fighters.

i dont play for anyone elses exp or amusement other than mine....

It is not my job to scout for you anymore than it is your job to be my meatshield/roflstomp the enemy.

BWs can be very effective even against the best of FWs...proof is given via emu87...

Launching planes and setting a fighter screen isnt my idea of fun....pissing the enemy team off after blowing up 2 BB6s while the FW scratches their head wondering how the BW got thru is...

BW= challenging and exciting to play
FW= easy way out, and little to no effor required to win

Take Emu out of that list lol. He is only “good” when there are obviously idiot CVs in the room that can't counter bomber tricks with fighters. Best part of it was that it was during late beta where nobody knew what the hell CV play was and even just 0.2 belt, a false impression of an overwhelming advantage that can be easily exploited. I wish people would still remember the number of times he screamed at other CVs to give HIM fighter cover in the all welcome games he's played, he's no different than any other BW without fighters. Maybe you should refer to my last post before making such assumptions.
