LOL, yeah, thats normal.... since I started playing CV's a few months ago my karma from reports has dropped SIGNIFICANTLY and I have been told I don't know what I am doing (regardless of my stats proving otherwise) and have had a lot of spam like that.

All that even though I play my CV's not to be on the top of the score board, I don't care about kills or damage so much as spotting and area denial, but I still don't help enough for some players...

Most recently I had 29 spotting ribbons, 198k spotting dmg, 169k damage myself and 3 kills and I had 4 reports in that battle that we WON because I wasn't "supporting" cruisers that were out of position enough....

I am sure I will be trolled, but I have learned that I ignore or shut chat off now when I play CV's.

As a DD main, I don't care about CV's much, TBH, I have heard a lot of people complaining that it's impossible to play DD's today... this is not true... AT ALL. What is more true is so many DD drivers, don't know radar ranges, don't know to stay outside those ranges, don't know that NOT CAPPING RIGHT AWAY, isn't necessarily a bad thing. That leaving your AA OFF when aircraft are traveling near you (OUTSIDE YOUR AIR SPOTTING RANGE) is good. Everyone thinks you MUST cap RIGHT AWAY, and must push RIGHT AWAY. This is not necessarily the case.

When I play a CV, if a player ASKS (not demands) for help and air support, 9 times out of 10 I will provide it. But play stupid... parking broadside in smoke case in point, or throwing your ship away, I typically will move to help others.

Long story, longer @Snargfargle just keep doing you. There are more trolls and more people that spam chat than people that are willing to work with a team....

Yes, I have, I have played every DD line to X, and, NOPE CV's don't bug me too much. Because TBH, A: MOST CV drivers don't focus DD's like they should and B: I know to not be out front by myself initially. I play it like a cruiser at first, staying back, keeping stuff at range and using my speed to position myself appropriately. Though I DO agree at higher tiers its a bit frustrating, I can work around it.

BUT AGAIN more than 1 CV, yeah NO....
