Man was hyped about the new HSF captains Then this post about it came out That shut my hopes down faster than a falling pebble

Imagine Kagero's only torp tube getting bashed to bits in the middle of a battle Ouch

So where are the new captains?

This topic is drowning faster than a sinking battleship......................

Meh I had to dodge a 2 torp waves from 2 dds from different directions at the same time. Good thing I was in my New Orleans

I think 3 problems contribute to the fact that CVs keep getting consistently blamed for a lot of stuff 1) CVs tend to be more of a 'command type' ship than the other types of ships. So if the team loses, who do they blame? Naturally the guy in charge/at the top 2) The striking power of a CV can never be underestimated. Being able to drop torps or bombs on a target out of nowhere without the risk of getting shot back makes a CV a valuable (albit a slow) striking power. 3) Unless they played a CV themselves, other players will never understand how a CV player has to play (Work around AA bubbles, benefits vs risk, save 1 ship or save a group, what they can see) With that much power and standing out it's no wonder everything a CV player does is scrutinised (and misunderstood) even more.

It's true. With 1 cv the power shifts dramatically to the cv players. With 2 they can literally control the game. I just came from a game in my Ranger with a ally Ryujo where the enemy CVs (A Hiryu and a Independence) had absolutely no coordination between their FGs and strike groups whatsoever. End result? Me and my CV ally just cake-walked over the entire enemy team who were cursing them the entire way
