06Wallst made a very good point in WoT years ago: There is an important distinction between Overpowered and Broken. He was referring to artillery as a class, that some are pretty pathetic, but the way they are played makes them broken. Some ships are overpowered, some are broken, and some are both.

Flak bursts are a good counter to this, though not for the reason you think... but you need a ship (or multiple ships) with flak bursts maxed out. Once flak bursts hit a certain magic number, they blind the cv player for several seconds moments before attacking, and even if the planes dodge them, it makes it very hard to accurately land rockets or torpedoes on anything not turning at glacial speeds.. (like light cruisers) Oh, and there is no mod to counteract flak blinding as far as I know...
I was in a ranked battle in my chaklov and even before 5 minutes into the match the enemy colossus sends out his AP rocket squadron and from full health I went down to just 7K in just one attack.
Colossus on Colossus violence is not an option, it's aparant, every game I played with that thing so far, was against another Colossus and it was always about who can kill the other dude faster :D I don't really feel like this CV will be a big deal in the long run, the german AP strikes were a huge topic after release too, but people got used to them , they know they have to angle to avoid getting nuked and that's how it's going to be with this ship as well. Kaga and Chkalov are both vastly superior T8 Carriers and they will stay dominant.
If playing CV I always lock secondaries on a DD if they are stalking me. Has to be done between launches but does seem to work. Then if they do get within range while the planes are away they still get hammered. (seems the way)
As much as I enjoy CVs. I will NOT deny this is just way too OP. We Honestly need more CVs that go like the Germans. Weak planes in survival. But strong secondaries. Force CVs to work to earn the kills. But do give them a breather when a DD is near by. Flailing about is fun.
I normally just ignore rocket planes , when I am in a cruiser. It is not worth giving broad side to battleship. But with this thing on the seas, one will have to learn to dodge.
If anybody knows, please answer me, but when you reach 35k ship xp for said day, and you collect on the supercontainer one, what is the chance of getting a supercontainer, because for the past 5 times I've gotten it, I've got a supercontainer. Could be very useful actually
and that is the reason im not buying prem or dubs anymore in this game, i dont play randoms, i dont play clan battles since 2 years now too, the game went to complete shit, nowadays the only semi enjoyable mode is rankeds with smaller teams, other than that the game is close to being unplayable for f2p player
Hahahahahahaha I only play this game for Clan Battles anymore. I havent touched randoms in almost a year. It started with the CV rework making cv 10x more common in every match. Then every nation getting supercruisers then superships and then subs. I went from spending regularly on prem time and containers to not spending a dime on this game. Wont be long until I just leave wows for good.
I can agree, full ship deletion is a bit much. But at the same time. If you just present a perfect target to the carrier and do nothing to not let him eat your broadside. You deserve to get punished. The Weser can do the same shit (I know cause I’ve done it, though it relies a tad more on RNG to get a good spread) There’s also the same time this is very gimmicky. Def needs to be toned down, but gimmicks where 1 squadron is god and the other two are meh is….. just bad. Each should have a proper purpose not just one being what you want to use 80% of the time I have a lot of things to say about carriers in the game. I’m a carrier main myself. Are they perfect and balanced. I’d have to say no. Are they as bad as some people say they are. Maybe at times, but I just don’t personally see it. I’ve never had a massive issue with carriers, yes they can be annoying if you want to do something and it cock blocks you but a carriers job is to push players into positions they do not want to be in and T them up for their team. Things like the super CVs I find hell, those jets are stupid and absolutely unfair. Same goes for the Soviet line where they can strike from outside AA range. Hell I once dropped a 9 kill game in my Serov doing 161K damage, with doing at least 50% damage to each person I killed. Yes I absolutely earned that by playing like a gigabrain, but at the same time, I should not have gotten away with it in the way I did, any other carrier I would’ve had a 6 kill game around 120K in the same situation. Soviet carriers need to be nerfed into the ground, or have their one and done drop done away with I also find hybrid ships to be an issue. The Ise is fun as a shitpost gimmick and something that existed but can we just not with the rest of them. Main changes I want to see to CVs. One remove all the “auto” stuff. We aren’t helpless if you can’t manage our own resources you shouldn’t play the class. I should be able to manually throw depth charge planes, manually launch my own fighters, and manually use my own damage control. Second remove the fighter consumable. Replace it with an RTS fighter (or several) that you can send around the lap to guard areas, giving the CVs some proper counter play against each other and a role to play as support for their teams. You could do the same thing with the depth charge planes. As for AA…. Eh personally I don’t think it’s terrible like everyone things it is. If your off by yourself you shouldn’t have the AA to fight off entire strikes, generally you’ll get 2 to 4 planes depending on what ship your in if he attacks you once or twice, again depending on your own AA set up. the AA ships like Atlanta, Austin, nevesky, and a few others already inflict such devastating damage to squadrons in the long run they are plenty effective. Which I feel reins true to how things could play out in real life. If a lil ol ship by itself and 10 planes attack it it might get a couple, but that’s beside the point. Even if there’s a bubble of 4 ships and they “somehow” break through, but lose their entire squadron in the first place. Assuming you didn’t get detonated, a small chunk of HP I think is an equal trade for a full squadron, especially in the early game. Sure most carriers over the first 5 or so minutes can somehwat recover from that loss, but they never truly will, and any subsequent mistakes or just loss of many planes has a massively profound impact on their ability to exert influence on a match. A CV is only as good as it’s ability to field squadrons.

As an AA buff, I'm looking forward to fighting this thing! Bring it on! Said no one! lol Truth be told though I am an AA buff and well... we'll see. I did run into one of these and after he dropped me a couple of times, he gave up and went on to easier pray. I kick CVs asses and frustrate the hell out of them. I've tried to get the "how to" out to Jingles and others but to no avail! The old general AA ship positioning rules have changed "and" have been added to. Yes I'm a DD main, Cruisers can react "some" and BBs can't do much at all. There's where the CV OP stands out! They are OP I agree and tier 10 CVs are very OP but they still can't do much to me for what I've learned! There is a way to negate the puki-bastards but admittedly it is getting more and more difficult. """Sealord""" just ask and you shall receive the next time that I get into a good CV fight. Yes I said Good, I love it! P.S. Not Halland... Oland! I've 2700 games in her! """Sealord""" I've sent you (and Jingles) an 82 AA kills game in the past whereas I also sank both CVs in the process and very much as a lone wolf and I made it look like child's-play. (Addmitadly, that's not always the case) Not all good AA fights result in a good "comprehensive" AA learned video but just ask and I'll eventually get one to you. How? MC Hammer style: "Can't Touch This", it's doable but there's new/additional rules to follow and some old rules that'll get you killed and need be thrown out! Signed: """Little old weak degenerate Oland""" Come get some! lol
Bruh this ship got bad bombs and ok trops and laughable armour only the rocket planes are good just watch them nerf the rockets in some days then this ship will be complete garbage
Why would a CV need ANY armor, or speed? CVs only die 1 out of 100 games. Even if all CVs only had 1hp, and 0 armor, they would be just as BS as they are now.
and here I thought FDR and Malta were dumb with how tanky/regenerative the aircraft were while doin heavy damage, I guess it wasn't bad enough as mountbatten says, holy shit
Seems like these developers never learn from their mistakes, probably because they seldom, if ever, listen to their customers and/or play their own game and simply prioritize money above all else. Ark Royal in Legends is also a broken premium carrier that can nuke everything at will with little to no risk to the carrier player, assuming he's not a total bot.
Rockets sinking ships? How? Those are low yield? Even with ap rockets, I can’t imagine it’ll completely shred the inside, let alone penetrate battleships. Nor destroyers. In the fake if the game only destroyers, and scratching Cruisers. Cv’s are garuanteed damaged for the most part, so they should low damage, and act as a team supporter rather than a damage dealer.
Looks to me like they released this British CV as a direct replacement for the Indomitable, aimed at UK people to buy. I expect it'll be up for sale in the shop in the near future also. The Indomitable quite frankly is pretty crap with it only having rockets and the change to rocket mechanics has made that British CV not even worth buying now
The rocket planes are not broken or overpowered. The rockets are SUPER easy to mitigate because of the long attack animation for every ship except CVs and BBs. You literally just have to realize you're under attack and turn. This CV is built to snipe other CVs (drop the bombs on a CV with an unarmored deck). And it has HUGE drawbacks to compensate, including being vulnerable to sniping itself. The irony of bitching about a ship that's designed to address a previous bitch is just so ridiculous.
It's more fun to watch your vids about WOWS than actually playing the game
IKR? He often offers self-depricating commens about his abilities, yet I'd be embarrassed to say how many battles I've failed trying to do what he casually demonstrates. CVs are especially frustrating.
Now I have a CV to watch out for when I'm playing a light cruiser.
long firing delay gives you time to dodge, just don't get caught still when it is using it's AP rockets
You mean like with the Malta at T10?
The only ships which even get close to having good AA, are those which are deleted fastest by CV. Coincidence?
Yeah the thing dev struck me in Smolensk from half health to dead. I didn't think it had AP rockets and the fact it can enter tier 10 light cruiser AA is nuts.

I was in a ranked battle in my chaklov and even before 5 minutes into the match the enemy colossus sends out his AP rocket squadron and from full health I went down to just 7K in just one attack.
Colossus on Colossus violence is not an option, it's aparant, every game I played with that thing so far, was against another Colossus and it was always about who can kill the other dude faster :D
I don't really feel like this CV will be a big deal in the long run, the german AP strikes were a huge topic after release too, but people got used to them , they know they have to angle to avoid getting nuked and that's how it's going to be with this ship as well. Kaga and Chkalov are both vastly superior T8 Carriers and they will stay dominant.
Because people gotta have Warship TTK that measures in COD TTK......
If playing CV I always lock secondaries on a DD if they are stalking me. Has to be done between launches but does seem to work. Then if they do get within range while the planes are away they still get hammered. (seems the way)
"Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water"
i want cv's with accoustic torpedos that i cannot possibly dodge.
Once they make their money off everyone wanting 1 they will fix it.
Why do players drop bombs into the ocean on purpose like at around 07:04 in this video?
they do it so as to lose fewer planes/bring enough to do one full strike with a few planes reserve if a plane gets shot down
As much as I enjoy CVs. I will NOT deny this is just way too OP.
We Honestly need more CVs that go like the Germans. Weak planes in survival. But strong secondaries. Force CVs to work to earn the kills. But do give them a breather when a DD is near by. Flailing about is fun.
I got very lucky when I was playing against Colossus, becasue he didnt use rocket. I just now got to know that they are busted.
I saw the back footage on the first devstrike on this poor cruiser I was like holy f we are f'ed I got goosebumps from fear
I normally just ignore rocket planes , when I am in a cruiser. It is not worth giving broad side to battleship. But with this thing on the seas, one will have to learn to dodge.
Never heard of german rockets? Or malta front drop? Do you even play light cruisers?
@@Korovkin_Pavel I played Ranked only. Usually DM or Groeningen.
Something to the rockets. If they are similiar to the German ones they not going to citadel CVs unless they are british
So it's like Every BB but you can dodge this easier. Seems good to me.
If anybody knows, please answer me, but when you reach 35k ship xp for said day, and you collect on the supercontainer one, what is the chance of getting a supercontainer, because for the past 5 times I've gotten it, I've got a supercontainer. Could be very useful actually
and that is the reason im not buying prem or dubs anymore in this game, i dont play randoms, i dont play clan battles since 2 years now too, the game went to complete shit, nowadays the only semi enjoyable mode is rankeds with smaller teams, other than that the game is close to being unplayable for f2p player
Just what the game needs
heh, send this one to jingles, he will have a field day!
Ayo I wouldn't be as mad with this CV had it been released when Smolensk was still a common sight in tier 10 games.
If you don't have a keyboard, you're dead GGwp
So glad this ship has downsides to counteract those ap rockets!
Your recording doesn't allow for hi-res playback. Anyway you can change that?
what is your build??
Hahahahahahaha
I only play this game for Clan Battles anymore. I havent touched randoms in almost a year. It started with the CV rework making cv 10x more common in every match. Then every nation getting supercruisers then superships and then subs. I went from spending regularly on prem time and containers to not spending a dime on this game. Wont be long until I just leave wows for good.
Do they even test these ships at all? Like how do they even get released like this
I can agree, full ship deletion is a bit much. But at the same time. If you just present a perfect target to the carrier and do nothing to not let him eat your broadside. You deserve to get punished. The Weser can do the same shit (I know cause I’ve done it, though it relies a tad more on RNG to get a good spread)
There’s also the same time this is very gimmicky. Def needs to be toned down, but gimmicks where 1 squadron is god and the other two are meh is….. just bad.
Each should have a proper purpose not just one being what you want to use 80% of the time
I have a lot of things to say about carriers in the game. I’m a carrier main myself. Are they perfect and balanced. I’d have to say no.
Are they as bad as some people say they are. Maybe at times, but I just don’t personally see it. I’ve never had a massive issue with carriers, yes they can be annoying if you want to do something and it cock blocks you but a carriers job is to push players into positions they do not want to be in and T them up for their team.
Things like the super CVs I find hell, those jets are stupid and absolutely unfair.
Same goes for the Soviet line where they can strike from outside AA range. Hell I once dropped a 9 kill game in my Serov doing 161K damage, with doing at least 50% damage to each person I killed. Yes I absolutely earned that by playing like a gigabrain, but at the same time, I should not have gotten away with it in the way I did, any other carrier I would’ve had a 6 kill game around 120K in the same situation. Soviet carriers need to be nerfed into the ground, or have their one and done drop done away with
I also find hybrid ships to be an issue. The Ise is fun as a shitpost gimmick and something that existed but can we just not with the rest of them.
Main changes I want to see to CVs. One remove all the “auto” stuff. We aren’t helpless if you can’t manage our own resources you shouldn’t play the class. I should be able to manually throw depth charge planes, manually launch my own fighters, and manually use my own damage control.
Second remove the fighter consumable. Replace it with an RTS fighter (or several) that you can send around the lap to guard areas, giving the CVs some proper counter play against each other and a role to play as support for their teams.
You could do the same thing with the depth charge planes.
As for AA…. Eh personally I don’t think it’s terrible like everyone things it is.
If your off by yourself you shouldn’t have the AA to fight off entire strikes, generally you’ll get 2 to 4 planes depending on what ship your in if he attacks you once or twice, again depending on your own AA set up. the AA ships like Atlanta, Austin, nevesky, and a few others already inflict such devastating damage to squadrons in the long run they are plenty effective.
Which I feel reins true to how things could play out in real life. If a lil ol ship by itself and 10 planes attack it it might get a couple, but that’s beside the point.
Even if there’s a bubble of 4 ships and they “somehow” break through, but lose their entire squadron in the first place. Assuming you didn’t get detonated, a small chunk of HP I think is an equal trade for a full squadron, especially in the early game.
Sure most carriers over the first 5 or so minutes can somehwat recover from that loss, but they never truly will, and any subsequent mistakes or just loss of many planes has a massively profound impact on their ability to exert influence on a match. A CV is only as good as it’s ability to field squadrons.
please explain the reason for the pre-dropped bombs?
Conserves planes for later
@@sealordmountbatten Fyi better hope youtube doesnt value all these dislikes ive finished world of warships channel and now im moving on to you and the rest of the youtubers yes remember those give aways every comment
As an AA buff, I'm looking forward to fighting this thing! Bring it on! Said no one! lol Truth be told though I am an AA buff and well... we'll see. I did run into one of these and after he dropped me a couple of times, he gave up and went on to easier pray. I kick CVs asses and frustrate the hell out of them. I've tried to get the "how to" out to Jingles and others but to no avail! The old general AA ship positioning rules have changed "and" have been added to. Yes I'm a DD main, Cruisers can react "some" and BBs can't do much at all. There's where the CV OP stands out! They are OP I agree and tier 10 CVs are very OP but they still can't do much to me for what I've learned! There is a way to negate the puki-bastards but admittedly it is getting more and more difficult.
"""Sealord""" just ask and you shall receive the next time that I get into a good CV fight. Yes I said Good, I love it! P.S. Not Halland... Oland! I've 2700 games in her!
"""Sealord""" I've sent you (and Jingles) an 82 AA kills game in the past whereas I also sank both CVs in the process and very much as a lone wolf and I made it look like child's-play.
(Addmitadly, that's not always the case)
Not all good AA fights result in a good "comprehensive" AA learned video but just ask and I'll eventually get one to you.
How? MC Hammer style: "Can't Touch This", it's doable but there's new/additional rules to follow and some old rules that'll get you killed and need be thrown out!
Signed: """Little old weak degenerate Oland""" Come get some! lol
I had the pleasure of getting smashed by this thing last night. Sailing unspotted at start of match and along came they rocket planes
a chad collosus takes out the other carrier and then goes afk
The Royal Navy containers are not showing up in my Armory (EU servers) Is this only for US servers?
Everygame ive had with a colossus. She just b lines it straight for my cv in the first 2min
Just watching that first air strike... WOWSERS. I'm assuming if I buy it then it will be immediately nerfed into oblivion.
an WG nerfed the t10 Richthofen into a slot machine because 27k AP dmg on bombs is to high and now this thing with twice the damage on t8 is fine
Bruh this ship got bad bombs and ok trops and laughable armour only the rocket planes are good just watch them nerf the rockets in some days then this ship will be complete garbage
today is born the son of the FDR, The colossus which is TEIR 8 for some reason?
damn bro rlly told honduras is big fat...(I mean we look like a gun)
Why would a CV need ANY armor, or speed? CVs only die 1 out of 100 games. Even if all CVs only had 1hp, and 0 armor, they would be just as BS as they are now.
The WTF by the 1st victim yeah WTAF indeed
and here I thought FDR and Malta were dumb with how tanky/regenerative the aircraft were while doin heavy damage, I guess it wasn't bad enough as mountbatten says, holy shit
Every time I think "Maybe I can try again", WG ensures i use my time in other projects...
got it on my 5th container from the event chain. lets go :P
So what was the point of nerfing the German cv like if they were going let this new cv do this.
Seems like these developers never learn from their mistakes, probably because they seldom, if ever, listen to their customers and/or play their own game and simply prioritize money above all else. Ark Royal in Legends is also a broken premium carrier that can nuke everything at will with little to no risk to the carrier player, assuming he's not a total bot.
and how get this CV ?
So it’s a one trick pony that’s easy to counter….😂 “oh no guys, look out for the cv”
Can’t believe i got this cv after purchased 3 crates
So you are saying the Colossus is like the Aquila, only better?
How to get this cv pls
Maybe CVS will go back to taking each other out at the beginning of the game.
[R U L E B R I T A N N I A] Intensifies.
Did I just see 10citadels on first shot
Gaijin and Wargaming compete to each other on who will get player base to zero first
I didn't get it in my 1st container. Still want it super bad because it flies the Corsair...
It's obviously got a boiling vessel aboard every ship. Its British, old boy. And maybe its plural is Colossi?
Rockets sinking ships? How? Those are low yield?
Even with ap rockets, I can’t imagine it’ll completely shred the inside, let alone penetrate battleships.
Nor destroyers. In the fake if the game only destroyers, and scratching Cruisers.
Cv’s are garuanteed damaged for the most part, so they should low damage, and act as a team supporter rather than a damage dealer.
Looks to me like they released this British CV as a direct replacement for the Indomitable, aimed at UK people to buy. I expect it'll be up for sale in the shop in the near future also. The Indomitable quite frankly is pretty crap with it only having rockets and the change to rocket mechanics has made that British CV not even worth buying now
The rocket planes are not broken or overpowered. The rockets are SUPER easy to mitigate because of the long attack animation for every ship except CVs and BBs. You literally just have to realize you're under attack and turn. This CV is built to snipe other CVs (drop the bombs on a CV with an unarmored deck). And it has HUGE drawbacks to compensate, including being vulnerable to sniping itself. The irony of bitching about a ship that's designed to address a previous bitch is just so ridiculous.
Just what the game needs.More broken ships...
Tbh I love it, it really takes me back to the old RTS graf zeppelin days.
