I have not yet gotten to the BB6, nor even to the top CV. Not an FW, not a BW, I have some of each... I only have one nation, really, although I have worked up to CL on a second. I generally play CV and SS (bash all you want, that's not the point).
I really TRY to team play... the similarity between CV play and SS play is that they both provide vision to the teammates and SOME chance of getting personal attack for EXP.
When my teams scouts and ftrs are getting eaten by the FW from the other side, you will be able to see what is close to my SS.
When My ftrs are getting eaten, I send another small batch there, then send some somewhere else; that keeps the original opponents occupied while providing vision elsewhere.
When I can, I try to keep bombers at the target, if there are remaining opponents to see.
I have two "pet peeves", as a CV driver:
Number 1: ... when someone screams "NOOB CV! NEED FC!"... and doesnt say WHERE..... same thing for "NEED VISION!" WHERE?? you want my help, don't expect me to read your mind.... (also, calling someone 'NOOB' is not likely to make them want to help you)
When there are 20 BB and 6 CV, do not expect that each BB will have a CV providing personal attention to exactly you. Is it REALLY that hard to say something like "NEED FC E2"? How about "Need Vision B3?"
Number 2: When I sent my ftrs out, or bombers, or whatever, and leave them there as long as fuel holds out or until they get shot down... AND NOBODY TRIES TO SHOOT! Really, what's the point of providing vision, micromanaging to keep the vision as long as possible, when none of my teammates bothers to try to sink the targets?
I won't even mention the super-hyper-uber flak ships ON MY OWN TEAM (not automated escorts) that shoot down my planes when there are no enemies in the area. If you shoot down the fighters I sent to intercept the bomber wave, don't be surprised if the bombers get through...
Please, as BB, CA, whatever kind of boat you're running... If the CV on your side is not a 120 BVE FW, it is likely his planes will get eaten by someone who is, and it will happen pretty fast and pretty constantly. When you have vision, use it to sink the targets. So, sometimes its not a BB you can see. But if you sink the flak CL you CAN see, the NEXT wave of spotters can get through to where you can see a target worth your time and shells.
As mentioned in earlier posts, teamwork and communication are the keys to winning. If your teams does THOSE better than the opponents, you win. If THEY do it better, THEY win. If (as usually happens) they both fail at teamwork and communication, we might as well just flip a coin.
