Interesting insight into the WG team. But then, something went wrong...

00:01 - 00:06 Today I will talk to the Wargaming CV lead designer and his assistant.

00:06 - 00:10 So, planes in a game about warships, in theory that sounds interesting.

00:10 - 00:12 Do the players like CVs?

00:14 - 00:16 Well, the whole concept of CVs was his idea.

00:16 - 00:19 The concept of CVs is fun and engaging.

00:19 - 00:21 <laughs> I'm sorry.

00:21 - 00:26 Playing a cv is so exciting, you get a complete new view of the game.

00:26 - 00:27 And they bring so much to the game.

00:27 - 00:32 They prevent people from camping.

00:32 - 00:35 It's fun to manage your AA, dodge plane attacks.

00:35 - 00:40 <laughs> Sorry.

00:41 - 00:46 Sorry.

00:46 - 00:50 So you think it's fun for players to handle plane attacks the whole game?

00:50 - 00:54 <laughs>

00:55 - 00:57 Well I do have fun hunting DDs in my CV.

00:58 - 01:00 Sorry. I'm really sorry.

01:01 - 01:05 I'm so sorry, this is a serious topic.

01:05 - 01:11 So you think it's not a problem that one class is best at spotting, great at damage dealing and is nearly untouchable?

01:11 - 01:16 Our statistics indeed shows that there are some problems.

01:16 - 01:17 Ok.

01:17 - 01:20 Players should'nt complain.

01:20 - 01:21 <prrrt>

01:20 - 01:23 Solutions are easy.

01:23 - 01:25 Surface ships should stick close together.

01:25 - 01:27 DDs can disable AA or just dodge.

01:27 - 01:39 <laughs>

01:39 - 01:43 DDs shouldn't rush to caps too, even when they start in front of the fleet.

01:43 - 01:44 <laughs>

01:44 - 01:47 The AA mechanic is fun too.

01:47 - 01:47 I don't know why he's laughing.

01:47 - 01:49 Yeah, players have just to adapt.

01:49 - 01:51 Getting detonated in the first 3 mins is just bad luck.

01:51 - 01:54 I'm sorry.

01:54 - 01:55 I'm so sorry.

01:55 - 01:59 In my last game I used Defensive AA but it couldn't stop the CV from attacking.

01:58 - 02:04 I guess what players doesn't like is that they can't fight back CVs, who always hang in the back of the map.

02:04 - 02:07 We have another WG developer here. He's the lead designer for the soviet ships.

02:07 - 02:07 <...>

02:09 - 02:14 The new soviet BB Slava will deal with CVs at longe range.

02:14 - 02:20 The farther away, the better the dispersion.

02:18 - 02:22 So the team just has to spot for... Slava.

02:22 - 02:24 CVs will also have to wait 45 secs before they can launch planes.

02:25 - 02:27 So DDs can get into the cap before they get spotted.

02:27 - 02:29 Ok, Slava can shoot DDs at longe range too.

02:29 - 02:31 But they can smoke then.

02:31 - 02:33 Ok, there is still radar then.

02:33 - 02:35 Then they just have to leave radar range.

02:35 - 02:38 Just dodge rockets and shells when leaving smoke.

02:39 - 02:42 Sorry Commanders, we have to interrupt this interview.

02:42 - 02:44 Take a look at our shop.

02:44 - 02:46 There are new loot boxes.

02:46 - 02:51 And there is a discount now, so maybe you can get some useful flags.
