It did mitigate some damage, unless you were a DD because they still had citadels at the time so a single bomb hit was still devastating. Originally it still gave a slight increase to DPS (knock down maybe 2-3 planes in a go from the 12+ attacking) but it's bigger function was to increase the dispersion of dropped ordnance for all groups in the path, as opposed to the singular group if clicked on. The thing is - strafe originally wasn't OP.
I may have had issues with how stupidly OP Strafe was, but even without Strafe, fighters could give real protection.Įxcept in Co-op and Ops, fighters right now are a joke. To say nothing of part of why they did this rework was they wanted CV players to focus on damage not spotting and babysitting. But as most players don't play CV's they don't comprehend that it takes about 30+ seconds to get to the ones usually crying for air cover, that if too close to red ships they just get shredded, etc. There is a mark on the map that indicates where they are so the enemy CV can try to avoid them.īasically - the consumable on planes is borderline useless now, unless you get the exact right timing or the red is being careless/reckless (at which point the way they can devastate planes is OP), the fighter consumable ships can carry and not running off alone using team AA is still, by far, superior. Once placed - they stay there till they either shoot down the same number of planes as in their group, time runs out, or they are shot down They take time to deploy, and have to be in the right spot and angle to actually engage enemy planes. They are extremely fragile, even the worst AA in game shred them, so if the teammate is within usually 5 km of a red ship (or going to be) it's pointless to drop them. Yes - you have to fly your Attack Planes (rockets), TB's or DB's to a location, then press the 'T' key for it to deploy which takes a few seconds. By 'attack aircraft' I assume you mean any of the 3 different types of bombers, eh? So I fly my attack aircraft to a location then what? Is it the 'T' key as mentioned by ditka?
