how to rank

[EULA_violator]

just play CVs lol, as long as you can play them it's basically up to you to carry your team 

unless it's very very AA heavy game

[dejiko_nyo]

As long as people play big, fat, nice, slow, juicy targets(tm), CVs are the effective counter to them. You really are tempting me to take out my Haku for a ride in ranked. Would you recommend 2 or 4 TB loadout?

2TB, and drop 2 squads before you go do any strikes

 

and if you dont know how to slingshot, dont even bother, you would screw your team over

That's why I'm waiting until all the hardcore get to single digit ranks first :P

I know rite? Times are CV does not cooperate and no show. Fancy AA hardware is just big waste.

That's why Gearing is best ship. I have DFAA suite, but also 5.9 km concealment and [pats Mark 17 tubes] 10 of these bad boys.

CV bait mode

[MeglaGnome]

I'm doing OK in my Shima. I don't need to contribute more than a CV, I just have to be more use that the other poor schmuk in a DD I dragged into matchmaking.

Spot, Cap if safe, decoy planes back into my friendly CL's. Torp BB's where safe. Spot some more.
Best game : 200K damage.

Shouldn't the title say "How To BE Rank?"

[SakamotoCat]

Working as intended

This rank season is a joke

You can just lose and save exp easily with CV

A shift from the "save a star" yamato boredom. Now we have variety.

[THAI_THIEF]

You just crawl step by step

[RalphTheTheatreCat]

I'm actually amazed how calm the chat is in ranked this season.    Only played about 15 games but I haven't seen any hate yet.   There is also a real lack of CV's as well at the moment in the mid ranks.  I think the pro CV players have already reached R5 and left the rest to the humans.

Ranked is random with a reward. Just play enough and you will get most of the obtainable rewards.

Like rank have any meaning when win rate is the real kicker anyway.

Thats every ship to a CV. Especially in a 7v7. In what world would this be anything but a joke? 

Drakon troll posting this trash just proves the point about CV's........

hakus are exceptionally good at killing lone conquerors, krems and CAs, but have a hard time with DDs

midways are excellent on all BBs except conq and krem, but sucks against CAs, and is OK against DDs

audacious is shit, anyone who takes in rank can go **** themselves since they will only play to save star

 

it's not as simple as "CV kills everything"

it was meant as a troll post, but i got very lucky with MM and their CV

was vastly outclassed by me. 

and their DD was a dumbass who didnt press P

 

CVs are very strong and have the most carry potential in rank, but it's not

Ranked in the Asian server is an absolute joke. The CV meta is huge but that is not the reason why I am complaining. You see a BAD Carrier player who does not play for his team won't drop many stars. I have seen 37% winrates in a Carrier as high as Rank 6, the reason is they farm hit points to not lose a Star but do not contribute enough to win the game. These are the clowns that move to the end of the map and just farm Hit Points.

They don't need to kill everything .... they just need to farm enough points not to lose.  The other 6 ships need to carry the game capture the objectives and not die.   if they fail then who cares, your in the CV that can just farm enough points not to lose a Star.  While I would say most CV players play to win there is that 30% of crappy CV players that don't sadly gives a bad name to all of them.   IE they don't try to cover ships or scout enough to spot the enemy or even when a Ship is ALMOST dead they return the plane so that you lose sight of the target just before the final kill..... reasons are simple they don't care about winning just farming.
