How It Works: New Carriers Gameplay | World of Warships 

3:25 Upgrades were updated in version 0.9.1. The relevant list of upgrades, their descriptions and correct icons can be seen in the game client

“You can simply press F” To pay respect

I wasn't very good at carrier gameplay. But I deeply enjoyed the old carrier gameplay. I greatly enjoyed carefully managing my flights. I deeply enjoyed having to make a choice between escorting my bombers or escorting my friendly ships. I deeply enjoyed the calculated risk I took in positioning myself close enough to be able to rotate my attack wings in and out effectively. It was difficult to master, and provided carrier players with a mode of gameplay that felt both completely different, and yet very fitting. I stopped playing for some time, but I can honestly say that I will not be coming back until they restore the RTS mode of Carrier gameplay.

Devs should of given CV drivers the choice of either the old RTS scheme or the new action/arcade fighting style and balanced the 2 out accordingly

I hate the new changes. Please do a survey in game to show the real impact of like or not like. This change along with the new rank arm race monster makes a huuuge impact on this former beutiful game

One of the main reason why CV was so important at ww2 was they're the key to achieve air superiority in the open waters. They're not just for attacking role, they protecting the fleet, why you dev remove it?

The new carriers are literally UNPLAYABLE!!! Seriously WG, bring the old ones back!

Before this patch there were players who loved the top down RTS character of CV gameplay. This patch not only ruined their game but everyone else's as well. The term 'broken" doesn't even begin to describe what random gameplay is now. I will have nothing to do with any modes other than co op, scenarios, or ranked until balance is restored, or I'll just retire completely. I respect the effort of the design team but frankly believe it's already time to cut the losses before they deal the game a fatal blow. Admit the mistakes, pull the patch, revert to 0.7.12, & resume testing or give up. The loss of 3.5 yrs of goodwill simply won't be worth the costs of standing by this mess for a month.

bring back the old aircraft carrier gameplay please

I’ve given the new update a go and honestly, the RTS system was so much better. I think all it really needed was for ships to have increased AA range so that it encourages players to sail together to cover each other. This update was a huge step backwards. The mechanics have become soo dumbed down its ridiculous why is player skill being punished? If the carriers were of equal skill they would tend to cancel each other out anyways because fighter squadrons made for a good deterrent. Now carriers are free to strike any ship they want. I thought the point of the rework was to make CVs less powerful. I’m afraid this rework has achieved the opposite.

This is a MASSIVE STEP BACK in this game, we are all begging you while you are still on time, MAKE A ROLLBACK!

Next, you're actually telling us NOT to maneuver when we're on our attack run with torpedo bombers, but during that time if we don't maneuver we're sitting ducks for AA.

0.8.0 Has to be the most Anger and Frustration inducing WoWs Updates I've ever experienced. I don't even want to log in and play with the current mess that is going on.

This feels like a step back tbh, AA sector does not feel right either.

i come back to this game after 2-3 years later AND JUST BRING BACK THE OLD CONTROLS

It’s like evolving, just backwards!

give me the old controls, this sucks big time

Combine this with the old system. Want to manually control one squadron during an attack? You can, and as an incentive the attacks are more accurate. Want to not do that and coordinate the attacks of multiple squadrons all at once (you know, like an AIRCRAFT CARRIER), you can, but each squadron's attacks are less accurate. Want every plane in a squadron to attack? Want to control one squadron in flight? You can, and as an incentive they take less AA damage when passing ships. Want to not do that and coordinate the flight paths of multiple squadrons (you know, like an AIRCRAFT CARRIER)? You can! Set them to do so. Want only half or a third of the squadron to do so? Set them to do so, and have the planes not attacking take significantly less AA damage since they can focus on maneuvering to avoid it. Want to send a fighter escort? YOU CAN! As it is, this system is trash and has taken away any reason for me to play aircraft carriers (and thus buy premium carriers). Remember how the US won the Battle of Midway by sending out one dive bomber squadron at a time and waiting for them to attack and return to the ships before sending out another? I don't, because that's not how they won. They sent multiple squadrons that hit the Japanese ships, and here's a novel concept, *at the same time.*

I would like to see a "how to get your premium time refunded"

I tested them in the tst. It's now so boring to play cv. Now it's like start, fly, die and repeat! And that you have to send back your planes to control the carrier is just stupid. The RTS gsmeplay was much better. Give me my carriers back how i Love them to play in RTS!

I just came back to the game since like 2017, super confused why the carrier system was dumbed down. Honestly, the fact that carriers were micro-intensive, yet could be dominating in the right hands, felt accurate to how they were in the war.

Destroyed the game for me...

Feedback: Just uninstalled the game.

The CV rework means that you can only play CVs if you have the ability to twitch click. The one thing in the old CV play that I was good at was using my fighters to achieve air superiority, but fighters are now a consumable. Between having to dodge anti-aircraft fire and having to release bombs/torpedoes at the correct instant, I went from being a middling CV player who could send aircraft to the right places at nearly the right times to an AFK battleship that could spot enemies at a distance in co-op matches (while it was possible that the enemy CV player might be just as bad as me, I did not try to play my reworked CV in a random battle). I cannot twitch click well enough to play the reworked CVs. I play World of Warships, because you can even be terrible at twitch clicking and still play well enough to contribute to the team and have fun. The intent of the CV rework was to open CV play to a larger pool of players. While other players may experience different results, the CV rework has completely shut me out of playing CVs.

How about it doesn't work?

Tiers 6 and 8 are pretty much useless if uptiered... there was no point getting rid of the odd tiers

I can shorten this video drastically. "It doesn't."

Tried it, you ruined over a quarter of the branches in the game. I just wish I could get a refund for the year of premium time I recently purchased.

Can I get the 240 dollars I spent on Kaga, Enterprise, and Saipan back

How it work Control panel>uninstall program

I'm meh about this change, but please, WG, for the love of god, can you make targeting crosshairs for bombers show the actual position when they'll be when you initiate attack, instead of a FRIGGIN MILE AHEAD?! What's the bloody point?!

R.I.P. WoWs... It‘s time to grab the other games i have...

Good thing I'm a newbie, I never used the old aircraft carriers so I have nothing to be mad at.

More carriers in tier 10 matches please! Six per game is not enough!

Where the "How to attack" video for when all 12 enemy ships are hugging one another and your planes die in half a second if you even ATTEMPT to attack them?

I've returned the game after 2 years and have a shock! I can't control all squadrons simultaneously! While going to enemy ship, enemy aircrafts hunts me easily!

REVERT THE UPDATE.

You guys destroyed the play of how carriers work!

The CV rework is killing DD more lul

Why? Who asked for this??

Hey WG, I have a good Idea, why not bring back the fighter as controllable squadron? just put them 3 or 4 aircraft per squadron, the way they attack is like strafing, but with limited ammo, once the ammo is depleted they'll return to the CV and only can be use one strike before taking off again.. I think that will have for the DD spotting and hunting issues

Tier 4 Carriers are hard to play -.-

I see what you guys were going for, and i don't think this new game-play is necessarily bad, and is fairly fun but really was dramatic departure from some of the aspects of carriers that made them both challenging and enjoyable. Firstly, part of what made carriers' entertaining for me was the management aspect, having to keep track of a lot of moving parts to include the carrier itself, and i wish there was a way to toggle back to my carrier to adjust course or respond to threats without forcing my squadron back to the carrier. I think there is a healthy medium here and this new game play certainly made CVs more of a class of ship and less of a mini-game within the greater game (which was really difficult to understand at first) but i think we lost something along the way.

Congrats Wargaming, you really did it, you put the last nail on the coffin for Wows.........Bravo

Horrible! Please, Please reinstall the old mechanic!!!!!!!

I really wish you guys could combine this patch and the previous patch so that we can control all our planes while being able to fire with third person view

The RTS gameplay was one of the best things in the game and learning how to play it correctly was an amazing feeling. I really have no idea why you felt the need to rework them so much, especially with how weak they feel now.

feel very arcady...oh wait that's what you aiming for right, so that you can push the game to console platform?

Sorry to say this but I feel like dis update made aircraft carrier unplayable it was already shit now it's worst

Guessing there is no way to assign a fighter group to escort duty?

Just bought a CV, didn't play them for 1year. I totally regret it. Came to search some guide and this is just terrible. If I wanted to control planes I would get another game. How can you not get more squadrons on the air?! Old control method was just fine! So, as right now: Played carrier once > Found it terrible > Saw this guide > Selling CV.

Why are you making now a how to play cv when we needed it befor this "good" rework?? Can you guys tell me that?

I dunno man, only came back to this game recently and only now found out about this... I'm kinda disappointed to be honest. I enjoyed the RTS / birds eye view Aircraft Carrier gameplay. It was enjoyable to manage multiple squadrons at once attacking multiple ships and supporting teammates as they push.

I think they should reinstate the old way but use this method to micro manage the squadron. I also wanna know if they could ever make a option to manually shoot down aircrafts

Still prefer the older version of the carriers, it actually felt like an Actual Aircraft Carriers, not world of Warplanes, but its wg, what can we except from them?

Return the Odd tiers, then this may be tolerable

When i think all the effort i've put into the game buying & unlocking many different ships, different tiers , crates,flags, doubloons all gone to waste coz of a Cv rework !!!

6:43 "Good luck in battle" my concern that is what we have left in wow... (world of warship or world of warplanes?)

Bring back the old Carriers please!

POSSIBLE SOLUTION: Make 2 settings for carrier gameplay in port: simple and advanced. Simple carrier gameplay will make you play the reworked version of carrier gameplay. Advanced will allow you to return to the older carrier gsmeplay.

This is my taught after this update, CA bullied CV, CV bullied DD, BB sitting in the corner drinking a cup of Coffea

I started playing this game again, and went, "Yeah okay, time to try a carrier again." I was completely befuddled by the new workings of the carriers but figured I was just missing that there was some way to control multiple squadrons as usual and I just didn't know how to switch out of manual control of squadrons. Nope, carriers are just boring and useless now. Cool.

worst patch ever!!!!!!!

R.I.P. Carriers. the only line i actually enjoyed playing in this game for its tactical aspects."Press F" to pay respects

I get that CVs were considered cancer by many, but there were still people who loved the complexity of multitasking and positioning squadrons to fend off fighters and attack ships. Now, the community is even more divided about CVs. Come on WG, you’re shooting yourself in the foot!

I finally logged back into my account to play World of Warships after a long time, wanted to play a carrier with my friends in my division, first attempt at in this mess of an update, couldn't believe how frustrated I got when I found out I could only control one squadron at a time after looking at this tutorial and finding out they have ruined a great game because of there updates that no one would request, thanks a lot I thought it would be fun to get back into the game but I'm just 100% disappointed to see what has happened to the game. *Uninstalling the game now*

Again WG shows that they don't listen to their players/customers. I remember WG CEO said that this mistake will never happen again … after bad decisions in WoT !!! And what now Mr CEO … now it is even harder than before. Whole community is against WG decisions regarding new carriers system in WoWs … and as always WG DO NOT CARE at all :) !!! I hope You will feel Your customers power soon when Money incomes will drop !!! Seems WG workers don't listen to their CEO … nice policy. Financial problems are coming … GREETINGS.

R.I.P. WoWs

I was a CV lover. Bring back the old gameplay.

Whoever came up with this new gameplay should be fired

Good job WG. WT's Ship battles seem more fun then wows.

I love how the AA guns sound now... Can't say I love how the planes work now though. I sold my Cv's after testing the new mechanics. Hated the angle in which the camera was placed on the planes (I'd love to have a FPS camera), and aiming was just too difficult. Also, even though I love how the AA sounds now, I kind of feel it's underpowered as well. My NC focused on AA is weak now.

You ruined this class, keep your video. And listen players.... I'm unicum Cv player and now i go out of this game!!!!

You have broken the game WG for all classes except CVs. Well done. We can look forward to all CV games because who the hell would have fun playing anything else.

Can we please get the old carriers back?

For a counter on the AA guns if fired by AA the planes would automatically spread out or have a skill to spread the planes out but the downside is it takes longer to get ready to fire torps, rockets or bombs

How do you "adjust your aim" narrowing and widening the aiming triangle for the torp planes?

To everybody:in wows blitz(mobile) there is still the old way of playing carriers

Why is the mouse also used for steering planes instead of only changing the view direction like it is for ships? Please fix this or let the player turn it off.

Thanks for this timely video, but I do hope the next episode will come out early, as AA currently appear inconsistent to me, need enlightenment on it.

You should be able to send planes to attack somewhere and also control them

I love it how they insult our intelligence. I already new how to play. Didn’t need practice of my “skills” to realize its a bad change. Glad they put refunds up cause i used that after just 15 games

I use destroyers and cruisers and this update is a pain in the @$$ because i keep getting spotted

I play with the old system, and even if it was difficult to understand at first, it was way more fun than.... this.

A lot of comments about the old style. Problem was, there was no tutorial anywhere about how those mechanics worked, so most players, including myself, never tried them. I don't want to cripple a team by going in blind and not knowing at all what to do. Had there been any tutorials or a solo practice mode, perhaps it wouldn't have died. Old carriers were OP, probably why the older players liked it. The new system is way underpowered. Carriers need a large buff. In the old style, you could have several squadrons in the air at one time.

I just started playing, and I'm honestly already sick of bombers.. Probably won't keep playing

We need a Vote poll on the main site if they should bring back the old RTS

I think it would be better if the aircrafts were controlled by the AI as another option that way while they're busy bombing your enemy you can focus on the ships in in front of you like multitasking (^^)

Can we just select if we want to play with CVs or not?

I was actually planning to come back to WoWS after a break of a year or so... I guess not then?

I feel like this whoukd have veen a choice the RTS of the carrier was exciting for me i wish that we could have both thr possibility of controlling all planes while being able to click a key to give you full control of a squadron i feel like this would have been a better option since you can have critical moments in where you can control the plane as 3rd person while possibly returning back to rts to coordinate a torpedo missle bomb attack

What if you add a consumable or other for cruisers and destroyers that had their main guns also equipped with AA shells?

Make for the AA built because I have no freakin idea "how it works" :)

How is it that an airplane refueled the torpedoes, the bombs and the rockets in flight?

Maybe German Air craft carier Graf Zeppelin could be new next update as a premium ship

as far as AA, they are very strong I have the Hosho and the Range, I would also like to know the time to launch the torpedoes forward because they deviate from the same and always error, I would like more videos on tactics with these new aircraft carriers and thank you.

Why was this change needed? Is only 1 CV/game at max. Ok, some cam dominate games, like Midway used to. I dont think this was the right choice tbh...

Nonsense. Pure nonsense. One squadron in third person? "Attack aircraft" with rockets?

I had already said this new game style hurt the efficiency of the aircraft carrier very badly work by implementing this new mode 1.The aircraft carrier's ability to operate several different squadrons at the same time 2. Can not provide support and attack at the same time

Damn I missed a lot seem like, this is awesome. I’m downloading this game again. I always have lag problems 😂
