96 silenthunter19944 Member 1,196 posts 2,964 battles Report post #1 Posted November 14, 2015 Ok I had enough of my the ranger (pile of dog ****) I cannot do anything against a Hiryu. The Horyu is better at everything. Their loadout is insanely better than the Ranger as well as their fighters. Explain to me how the Hiryu can kill all 6 of my fully upgraded fighters with captains skill and equipment when I can only kill at most 3 of their fighters in combat. Secondly, The Hiryu have a much better detecability range and reload speed which mean that it can just spam planes at me like there's no tomorrow. Their torpedoes bombers with the buffed spread make the Hiryu even more of a pain to deal with as they can hit 3/4 torp per from from now on. If the Hiryu captain stack his TB on top of each other he will get 6 hits/ drop or even 7/8 or 8/8 if he is lucky. DB are the Ranger only advantage as they can deal with defensive consumables from cruisers and destroyers. However, DB don't do much damage at all. I am tired of War Gaming ignoring the fact that the Hiryu is flat out superior to the Ranger, seriously War Gaming, get it together. Imo they should just Nerf the Hiryu's loadout to 1/2/2 because they are ridiculously OP at the moment compare to the Ranger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

260 yansuki Beta Tester 2,279 posts 6,849 battles Report post #5 Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) hiryuu 2 fighter squadron can shoot down 1 squadron of ranger without problem so its not advisable to attack them without friendly aa support. back in cbt i really like ranger because it has lots of planes in reserve, specially torpedo bomber. i can trow away torpedo squadron to trade against a battle ship or even a cruiser without problem. its main weakness is its crappy load-out so i mainly use 1-1-1 setup. yeah. hiryuu clearly a superior cv in this tier without a doubt. tier is not that special too. most of its planes reserve are fighter so you can't afford to lose torpedo bomber or you will be sitting and doing only AA support most of the time. USN cv shine to tier 9 and 10. Edited November 14, 2015 by yansuki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

269 [LEAK] Nekrosmas Beta Tester 2,718 posts 1,988 battles Report post #7 Posted November 14, 2015 ^ Getting good is one thing, but if I am honest, Ranger is pretty weak considering how strong relatively the Hiryu is. It's true many made it work, but it doesn't help when you have such a massive handicap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
83 [FPA13] Commander_Dusty [FPA13] Beta Tester 760 posts 7,234 battles Report post #8 Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) To be honest, I am starting to agree with the issue that tiers 6 and 7 USN CV's are underpowered. Halfway to getting my Ranger and I've faced a bit of a dilemma on my Independence Running a 1/1/1 (fighter/torpedo/bomb) setup leaves me vulnerable to a Ryujo with a 2/1/1 setup - my fighters will always get swarmed by 2 of his and he can easily shoot down my attacks while keeping my fighters occupied. Running a 2/0/1 setup leaves me able to clear the skies but deal squat damage and not be able to decide the outcome of the battle - bombs simply don't sink ships as well as torpedoes I recently starting playing the Hosho for IJN and its been quite fun to play and deals a whole more damage even with fewer planes - quantity of squadrons over quality counts when it comes to attacks it seems as if you screw up one attack run you get another ready easily My suggestion @Silenthunter, - play IJN CV's for the CV missions, USN won't sink as many ships as IJN lol Edited November 14, 2015 by Blitzkreig95 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
139 Deicide Beta Tester 1,043 posts 4,300 battles Report post #9 Posted November 14, 2015 that hiryu is exploiting something o.O that something is called RNG. except for lexington fighters, this will be very common at tier 9 and 10 too. that and include the recent bull the patch gave that is the overhaul of the skill Dog Fighting expert, the recent implementation of "auto-retaliation" of fighters(which punished inattentive, tunnel-visioning CV captain) and the long gone map hiding of bombers beyond the border(this enabled ambush tactics and added more gameplay depth). This, together with the long, unfixed balance issues, made CV gampeplay dumber and dumber and boring and I stopped grinding my IJN CV altogether. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

23 yanyatcheng Member 295 posts 501 battles Report post #12 Posted November 14, 2015 well, IJN carrier is always better until late war that USN start building better planes and carriers. and the tiering is more like a "if you are better than the last tier than you will be in the next one" instead of comparing the ship with the IJN/KM/Soviet ships in the same class and tier. same thing happens on USN DDs (before fletcher?) and CAs (Pensacola), and also the BB (before tier 8) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Than you can simply attack with 1 squadron at a time and keep the other waiting nearby - that way the enemy may use repair early and the second attack will cause more fire/flooding. Alternatively you could stack two squadrons together and attack with 8 planes at a time. As far as I know, IJN squadrons remain manageable up to tier 6 with 5 squads, which is what you get for the Midway and Essex? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I won 4 games out of 3 in the Bogue as well. 75% WR. I am better than Reita confirmed. Anyway, people at Tier 7 in a Hiryu are: - Better players than what they are in Tier 5 - In what may probably be the relatively strongest ship in the entire line - Have multiple loadouts to choose from unlike you are force to choose 2/0/2 - Have faster fighters (Thus they can draw your figters away from their force, or; Find a Cruiser and screw you up) Edited November 14, 2015 by Alvin1020 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
