I saw Malta in a match and I had a radar Mino. I thought to myself "Cool. Another CV I can shit on". I had no idea what they can do yet so I didn't mind them much.

@@cirno9356 Yeah basically Malta killed the island hopping CLs. Useless Wooster getting shit on by Malta APs that can regen as fast as Vermont shells. RIP my Mino that I just paid for eco boosters.
I ran into a Malta yesterday while in an Austin. I did mow down a ton of planes and he only got one second drop on me, but he absolutely wreaked my ship in 3 runs. Oh, there was also a Louisiana that bombed me just to add insult to injury.
the highest single run i got from the Malta's APDB was over 22K dmg on a jinan. thats more than half of its 35k max hp... i think the fact that it's also the most forgiving TX CV makes it tough to be on opposite team. ive had games where i lost over 120 planes and still wasnt deplaned

Hakuryu is still better than Malta in good hands but Malta (and Nakhimov) are much easier to play well. Haku also has superior survivability due to Malta and Nakhimov having raised and exposed citadels.
As a Malta owner I can say that it is easy to play (Hak and Midway are better tho), all planes are decent damage dealers but there are some downsides to Malta that were not mentioned. First off, it has totally BAD AA defense, Im talkin T8 AA. Ive been killed in one trip by FDR TB's twice now, shot down 4 planes each time. Im thinking a Midway or a Hak might be able to take out a Malta in two trips with TB's. I lose on average 70-80 planes a match which leaves the Malta with about 1/2 a squadron of each type by the end of a match, at that point you have one attack left for each type. Ive also been one shot by a Yamato at very long range, lucky RNG for him to be certain, but Midway would have bounced those deck hits. As SLM says, cruisers have to be either stationary or driving in a straight line to get slammed hard by multiple cits, and only certain cruisers will take cits, mostly UK light cruisers and KM cruisers. Ive yet to cit a Russian or IJN cruiser, havent had the opportunity to try a run on a French or Italian yet.
Oh no a CV that lost 70 planes and is at half a squadron by the end of the match? That clearly needs a buff, also getting citadelled broadside by the biggest guns in the game? Yeah we can't have that.
I wouldn't be so tilted with these ridiculous CVs if my AA guns actually worked in Mino or Edgar. I can't believe an AA rating of 98-100 (Mino-Edgar) with full AA build does so little its a literal meme

>Only possible if you're in a very lightly armored cruiser >if you're stationary Nice, ONLY ONE type of gameplay is destroyed. What do you think light cruisers do? Run around in open water? They usually need to be stationary behind hard cover, so the Malta carpet bombs will do insane damage to them. First destroyer gameplay, now light cruiser gameplay. Next up: BBs.
Bottom line the Nakhimov does more damage more quickly, but we all love to complain about new ships without any perspective of the other ships out there.
Thanks so very little for encouraging the purchase of this ship, the latest in a long list of cancer-ships. WG loves these videos that on the surface appear critical while in reality promote purchases out the kazoo. FOR FREE. How many glue-sniffers clicked on "Most Busted Ship" and then scuttled off to the armory 30 seconds in? You can tell yourself content like this supports the player base by highlighting glaring weaknesses they can exploit to counter this ship. It's a CV ... WHAT WEAKNESSES? Speaking for myself the only actual defense against this ship is to avoid loading into the game. I usually enjoy your videos but I find this one to be disappointing.
Lost half my health In a dm to 1 Group of planes. While using my defensive aa while also next to another dm with defensive aa, the Malta only lost 2 planes. Thanks to cv spotting the enemy then killed me while trying to dodge. Gj wg. Edit: Also killed 40 Malta planes while in a Halland that the cv was attacking fkr the entire game. By the end of the game I was still being attacked by full squadrons.
From a single drop? That’s impossible mathematically. Those AP carpet bombs arent citadeling GK, so the most damage it can do with all full pens is like 28k. Calling cap on this one chief
This is true. Malta is easy to use. Easy to blap light cruisers and destroyers but is no where near as effective at turning the tide of the battle like the hak, midway or as strong as the nakimov overall. The AP bombs do minimal damage against armored ships unlike mvr or hak AP or even midway he bombs and the torps while they can hit for 10k is no where near as scary as seeing a full spread from nakimov or fdr
@@abbysaito5348 In ranked if someone brings a light cruiser they are either really good (1%) or they die in the first 3 minutes (99%), so I doubt the AP bombs will be that insanely effective. The AP bombs do quite a bit of damage per strike, but the reality is that Malta often eats that random flak for some reason so 2 runs max pretty much. Ultimately it's just normal pen damage from 8-12k, not citadel damage from 12-20k. the torps are somewhat questionable. They are made to be really easy to use for beginners, but for the more accustomed pilots, the spread just means that it is way harder to land on targets when they turn. Also, every competitive CV has some form of the god-like torpedo, so there's that. And finally the planes are so slow that they stay for quite a while inside the flak
@@veritas4887 lol I wasn't even arguing since I agree 100% with what you say as well. After a couple dozen battles in the Malta. It's fun but it's not game changing.
Malta is much more noob friendly. Hakuryuu has the potential to be really really fucking monstrous but you need to be good in it to pull those massive numbers. Most of the crying over malta I’ve seen is from CL players screaming that they cant sit still in one spot behind an island anymore without getting punished lol.
Fixing CV's would be so simple. Give them a global cooldown on planes. This would simulate the carrier needing to recover planes, load and fuel them for a new mission, then launch them again. Right now, it's ridiculous that you can just hit a key and instantly launch a new flight. Give them a global CD before launching a new flight.
At the beggining of a game you can bully DDs with the rocket planes it's disgusting, i have like no experience in CVs but the fact that i can devstrike light cruisers (except the Colbert for some reasons), bully DDs and shit on everyone with NO EXPERIENCE just shows how this CV is broken.
I feel you mate. In my Nevsky the other day I got chunked 16k, then 10k then 6k in 3 drops of the same flight by this broken POS. Next game I got shotgunned by a sub in my Venezia despite having double rudder and not being spotted until within 2km as I had my smoke up. Haven't played since. Don't know if I will. Definitely not putting any more money into this game again.
It's funny to hear you try to say that Malta isn't OP. EVERY CV is OP. Period. It's only a matter of degree. No fires, automated ASW, best spotting of any ship in the game, and the ability to focus an punish any ship with little risk to your own. No other class is as protected or as unrealistic as CV's are in this game. Aircraft are not ammunition, but that's what they are treated as in this game.
@@merafirewing6591 An aircraft carrier is not a factory that produces planes and aviators to fly those planes. Lose the aviators and you lose the ability to fight. WG CV's are not anything that resembles an actual aircraft carrier.
@@thedefenestrator5686 yeah, that's why losing planes should be a major consequence and that know to not pick on an AA ship or a group of them at close proximity.
The game itself is Busted since last update. While locked on target my binocular and guns are following that ship. Aiming manually at that ship is unsettling. Super annoying! Cant be turned off! They better fix this. WOW might become my next game on the list, which I dont play anymore.
I don't know wg was thinking introducing carpet bombs specialized against light cruisers, when good amount of ships (USN an UK mostly) has something similar CWS AA system...
Agree to disagree you say you need to have a stationary target but I was nucked out of the nap in a colbert going like 35 knots and turning yes is is a super light cruiser but it also happens to some heavy cruisers like hinden and stuff
Why not also a part of the review how it compares in Coop of async mode A LOT of players grind ships or do missions and want the smartest ship to be used for progression!?!?!
I got wrecked by this filth yesterday evening. I was so enraged I immediately exited the game and logged off not to return for the evening. Disgusting and in a relatively good AA cruiser. I lost over 30k HP 1/2 HP from a single strike!
As a n00b CV player, I think it's a good thing to have slower planes. I don't set up for too many multi drops, almost always pre-drop, so the speed gives me more time to focus on my 'main' hit
no no no... Aquila is easier to pen because the striking angle, it shoots more vertical, hence, easjer to penetrate deck but harder to citadel well protected ship. German AP rocket strike at lower angle hence easier to penetrate citadel from sides
All I heard is, if I am facing a Malta in a DD, the best action to take is to immediately yolo into the nearest cap, blasting as you go, and then start a new match. Or go and do something else.
Somewhat new to the game, there was a 2 year gap in my early history with wows. I actually really dig the concept of carriers even tho I’ve seen them get a lot hate in some games I’ve been in recently. Out of spite I made a decision that was probably pretty bad, having maybe a total of one year of playtime I shouldn’t be buying high teir CVs until I master the lower tier. But I just saw the “newer” version of the movie midway. And was at the same time pretty inspired, so I bought the malts half from spite, and half from inspiration. With a coupon a lil bit of steel, and the rest coal I was able to acquire the ship for myself. I consider it to be my flagship of my lil virtual navy i got going, so idk thanks for making this video it helps and is informative on these subjects.
Long comment that exemplifies why the game is going downhill fast. Between people like you and those who enjoy submarines, it's no wonder people don't want to play "World of Warships" anymore. Why bother when you're in a "warship" being oppressed by planes and submarines XD
Break this down. In a salvo that you can reload every 30 seconds in a BB you can easily deal 5-20k damage. In a cruiser that reloads every 7-17 seconds you can deal 3-20k damage if not more. And people are whining that every 2 minutes IF a CV hit ALMOST ALL of its ordinance they can do about the same. There are not many CV players that can accurately hit the rockets and torps. I can dodge 3 out of torps in a fast BB cruiser and generally all in a DD. Then the CV player has to fly all the way back again, where as a BB can just line up and shoot again. Stop crying about every CV out there and just play the game. Sometimes a CV will pick on you, so what. DDs can pop smoke that lasts 2 minutes and there is NOTHING you can do as a BB. They are undetectable up until 5KMS! Seriously, all this bitching about CVs is just getting sad. They aren't going anywhere, wither stop playing or build a bridge and deal with CVs that can deal damage.
@@sealordmountbatten played the game alot the past few days, alot more people play it than i tought. Your videos are really helping me understand the game better, thanks!
I am dogshit at CVs…. I’m going to pick a cv line and see how long it takes me to get to t8…. I’m going to guess 3 months… playing only CVs for the next 3 months.. I’m sorry to anyone that ends up with me on their team 😅😂
The weapons on each type of plane are good, but the aircraft themselves are easy to take out with high AA, so to say you can hurt cruisers is not really accurate, especially if they have even remotely good AA.... and as always, never attack 2+ ships at a time as that is suicide for the Malta's planes.
This video littery just demonstrated the aircraft fly right into a litteral wall of flak. What ship on its own is actually gunna pose a threat to a point you wouldn't attack it or suffer enough losses you regret it
@@SkyRaider-31 Would you like a list of ships that Malta players, and CV players in general, need to be wary of? Halland is still unappoachable, Mino in smoke, DM, Wooster, Puerto Rico. A Sherman is also something to be wary of, this ship can be an AA beast if its speced up for that. I generally avoid any cruiser that I know has a panic button. Best defense vs a CV is the same defense against a BB.....wsad. Never drive in a straight line for very long.
Really ? People are complaining because the Malta can dish out 25 k per run on a light cruiser ? When a Yamato can easily one shot a light cruiser from 20km+, every 30 seconds ? SMH....
Too be fair, shells are far easier to dodge than Planes that literally can track your movement, spot you and spawn their "shells" right into your face Thats what people find disgusting about CVs
@@nicz7694 There is no dodging Yamato's shells in a Minotaur or a light cruiser, you get lolpenned at any angle. Level bombers' drop on the other hand can be mitigated AND the CV gets punished for focusing a Mino/Jinan/Worcester/and whatnot....
@@gaelm3731 have you even played Mino or Malta beforehand? It's super easy to remove the Mino in maximum 3 bomb drops. The Malta doesn't even get punished that much with big reserve and giga fast regen.
SLB....this CV is pretty toxic. the problem is is if you are in a light Cruiser you have next to no counterplay. if by maneuvering (or simple maneuver in WG speak) you reduce it from 3/4 go to only 1/2 or 1/3 of your hp being wiped away that is still toxic as hell. CLs were already in a bad spot from all the high MV and overmatch guns as well as subs and CL hunting DDs.
Hello, lately almost all the channels I follow are paying more and more attention to Tier 10 ships. I guess this is justified from the point of view of the fans of these channels. In-game though, for the past 4 and more weeks, the presence of T10 ships in "random battles" has become unbearable. I have chosen to specialize in the German T8 cruiser Mainz and the battleship Tirpitz. Unfortunately, though, it's almost impossible to get into a battle dominated by T8 or T7 ships. What's more, in the last 3 weeks I'm always if not the only one, of only 3 Tier 8 ships in a Tier 10 team. And by T10 I mean predominantly T10, not T9 and a few T10. This started to become a very annoying situation that pretty much put me off using any of my Tier 8 ships. I would really like to be able to select "no T10 ships/battles please". I personally am a fan of the more historically accurate ships, those from T5 and T6 for example, to realistic ones in T8. The ships in T9 and T10 do not match these characteristics, with too many gadgets, and too much firepower, the game becomes something completely different. I know there is a large group of players who like this, but there are also those like me who don't like it. I would really like to have the option, especially in "random battles" to limit my participation in teams to T9 ie. no Tier10 ships battles. Let them play with themselves, or even T9, but I'm bored of being the cannon fodder in T10 fights.
I'm not the best cv player but since the rocket change I've got really good at using carpet bombs against speeding dds so hitting a cl will be easy. Definitely picking this as next coal ship.
@@StarWolf2199 yeah, no hard feelings. but finding enjoyment in suffering and desperation of others ... disgusting If I get targeted and literally abused by cv player ... I just cannot drop feeling that someone has inferior complex and/or is a bully
Who cares. They can put fire breathing dragons in the game the way things are since a while, people just have to purchase their shit is all that matters to them.
It not the Ship it the team you are on the counts . There is nothing you can do it the rest of the team suck or they are just bots Look at the team scores at the end of the Video !
Definitely CVs. They are just toxic to the game. Subs, I am still on the fence about, possibly just because there are so few of them. But, yeah, getting pinged by a sub by surprize, hitting the damage con and then getting pinged again a few seconds later feels like a really dumb game mechanic. What was the point of the damage con?
true, CV players should understand that they can play world of warplanes if they want to play with aircraft's. make a no cv game mode so the mosquitoes can play with themselves and bots.
I love how he just flies through the Flak clouds and it still doesn't stop him (example around 7:30 I think?).

As noted I lost the whole squadron for that maneuver, but as also stated, the plane regen rate is so ridiculous it doesn’t matter.
You need to slow down when dropping bombs, it decreases the angle at which you hit and increases penetration.

light cruisers spamming from behind islands is a pain for BB... has to be a counter
@@Mithril_Antimarr Can't tell if trolling or stupid.
Bottom line the Nakhimov does more damage more quickly, but we all love to complain about new ships without any perspective of the other ships out there.
has the Malta changed much? or is it still a one sided fight ship?
I was so confused the first time I came up against this ship's bombs in my Mino last week...
Beit CVS have figured out that the wide dispersion is dd killer effect. It's actually worse then russian for dispersion now
Thanks so very little for encouraging the purchase of this ship, the latest in a long list of cancer-ships. WG loves these videos that on the surface appear critical while in reality promote purchases out the kazoo. FOR FREE. How many glue-sniffers clicked on "Most Busted Ship" and then scuttled off to the armory 30 seconds in? You can tell yourself content like this supports the player base by highlighting glaring weaknesses they can exploit to counter this ship. It's a CV ... WHAT WEAKNESSES? Speaking for myself the only actual defense against this ship is to avoid loading into the game. I usually enjoy your videos but I find this one to be disappointing.
Congrats on 40K Subs!!!
Also a nice thing about Malta AP bombs... They wreck german cruisers.... its a citadel city
Lost half my health In a dm to 1 Group of planes. While using my defensive aa while also next to another dm with defensive aa, the Malta only lost 2 planes.
Thanks to cv spotting the enemy then killed me while trying to dodge. Gj wg.
Edit: Also killed 40 Malta planes while in a Halland that the cv was attacking fkr the entire game. By the end of the game I was still being attacked by full squadrons.
I remember when everyone laughed at British CVs... (Eagle and Malta have entered the chat)
i was in my gk and got 50 k lost to one of those bombing carpets
From a single drop? That’s impossible mathematically. Those AP carpet bombs arent citadeling GK, so the most damage it can do with all full pens is like 28k. Calling cap on this one chief
@@jammo7370 probably multiple strikes from one attack run.
I wish WG would increase AA effectiveness and for subs well be nice to have something to cancel sonar ping or limit how many time it is used
that would work if they eliminated def aa boost / plane healing as well
To be fair it really isn’t busted in comparison to other competitive CVs. Come on, nothing beats the hakuryu.
This is true. Malta is easy to use. Easy to blap light cruisers and destroyers but is no where near as effective at turning the tide of the battle like the hak, midway or as strong as the nakimov overall.
The AP bombs do minimal damage against armored ships unlike mvr or hak AP or even midway he bombs and the torps while they can hit for 10k is no where near as scary as seeing a full spread from nakimov or fdr
@@abbysaito5348 In ranked if someone brings a light cruiser they are either really good (1%) or they die in the first 3 minutes (99%), so I doubt the AP bombs will be that insanely effective.
The AP bombs do quite a bit of damage per strike, but the reality is that Malta often eats that random flak for some reason so 2 runs max pretty much. Ultimately it's just normal pen damage from 8-12k, not citadel damage from 12-20k.
the torps are somewhat questionable. They are made to be really easy to use for beginners, but for the more accustomed pilots, the spread just means that it is way harder to land on targets when they turn. Also, every competitive CV has some form of the god-like torpedo, so there's that.
And finally the planes are so slow that they stay for quite a while inside the flak
@@veritas4887 lol I wasn't even arguing since I agree 100% with what you say as well. After a couple dozen battles in the Malta. It's fun but it's not game changing.
Malta is much more noob friendly. Hakuryuu has the potential to be really really fucking monstrous but you need to be good in it to pull those massive numbers. Most of the crying over malta I’ve seen is from CL players screaming that they cant sit still in one spot behind an island anymore without getting punished lol.
Nakhimov and Midway > hak
I don't play anything over Teir 8 now. No super ships. Tier 5-8 is where it's at
Sounds good in theory, but then most games are dual cvs per team - an absolute anti-fun sheet show.
@@JohnSmith-ux3tt rarely double cv matches for me. And double cv match is much better than Tier 9/10 (11) superships and cvs
Fixing CV's would be so simple. Give them a global cooldown on planes. This would simulate the carrier needing to recover planes, load and fuel them for a new mission, then launch them again.
Right now, it's ridiculous that you can just hit a key and instantly launch a new flight. Give them a global CD before launching a new flight.
And a consequence of what happens when you waste planes on an AA ship, no regen or anything at all. Every CV player needs to learn this.
At the beggining of a game you can bully DDs with the rocket planes it's disgusting, i have like no experience in CVs but the fact that i can devstrike light cruisers (except the Colbert for some reasons), bully DDs and shit on everyone with NO EXPERIENCE just shows how this CV is broken.
I call it very illegal sealclubbing. Blame it on the dumb players who all but complain the things that can really ruin the game.
miss the rockets that just fired when you told them too.
hate cvs , but the art department on planes and ship worked overtime
German CV players when they realize people are realizing AP bombs are busted: *nervous laughter*
Got chunked in my Nevsky for a combined 50k in 2min by that thing.
I feel you mate. In my Nevsky the other day I got chunked 16k, then 10k then 6k in 3 drops of the same flight by this broken POS. Next game I got shotgunned by a sub in my Venezia despite having double rudder and not being spotted until within 2km as I had my smoke up. Haven't played since. Don't know if I will. Definitely not putting any more money into this game again.
@@Digger8Five O shit that aint sound like a good time. gl to ya match making for later.
Let's wait and see if WG remove this ship later from armory like they did with thunderer and musashi
That sat a really long time before they were removed
It's funny to hear you try to say that Malta isn't OP. EVERY CV is OP. Period. It's only a matter of degree. No fires, automated ASW, best spotting of any ship in the game, and the ability to focus an punish any ship with little risk to your own. No other class is as protected or as unrealistic as CV's are in this game. Aircraft are not ammunition, but that's what they are treated as in this game.
They need to bring back that deplane thing.
@@merafirewing6591 An aircraft carrier is not a factory that produces planes and aviators to fly those planes. Lose the aviators and you lose the ability to fight. WG CV's are not anything that resembles an actual aircraft carrier.
@@thedefenestrator5686 yeah, that's why losing planes should be a major consequence and that know to not pick on an AA ship or a group of them at close proximity.
The game itself is Busted since last update. While locked on target my binocular and guns are following that ship. Aiming manually at that ship is unsettling. Super annoying! Cant be turned off! They better fix this. WOW might become my next game on the list, which I dont play anymore.
I don't know wg was thinking introducing carpet bombs specialized against light cruisers, when good amount of ships (USN an UK mostly) has something similar CWS AA system...
they were receiving a lot of angry messages about the low pen on their tech tree line cv bombers, so wanted to do things a bit differently
Agree to disagree you say you need to have a stationary target but I was nucked out of the nap in a colbert going like 35 knots and turning yes is is a super light cruiser but it also happens to some heavy cruisers like hinden and stuff
Why not also a part of the review how it compares in Coop of async mode A LOT of players grind ships or do missions and want the smartest ship to be used for progression!?!?!
I dont mind CVs or subs but i do mind the op-ness and the fuckin "supes". Ramp up the AA capabilities
Mountbatten you playing in 75fps??? Does your monitor only do 60?
Yup 4K, 60hz
I still think that Midway is the more versatile CV. (And obviously Midway's hull is more durable)
Hakuryu rocket is insane... 10k to unsaturated super structure...
I got wrecked by this filth yesterday evening. I was so enraged I immediately exited the game and logged off not to return for the evening. Disgusting and in a relatively good AA cruiser. I lost over 30k HP 1/2 HP from a single strike!
Whats the point of playing AA cruisers when carriers can easily go though the AA and destroy the cruiser
I bought her yesterday and i must say i like her but the planes are sooooo slow
Then do not try the F. D. R 😉
As a n00b CV player, I think it's a good thing to have slower planes. I don't set up for too many multi drops, almost always pre-drop, so the speed gives me more time to focus on my 'main' hit
@@rgsmith1966 well i think its just the fact that im used to german CVs (fast fast planes)
the slowness gives ships with good AA a chance to counter them but they also make aiming easier, the strong brit plane hp is a good balance to this
My next coal ship even if i'm noob in cvs
no no no... Aquila is easier to pen because the striking angle, it shoots more vertical, hence, easjer to penetrate deck but harder to citadel well protected ship.
German AP rocket strike at lower angle hence easier to penetrate citadel from sides
i enjoyed 1 game against a cv. i killed 60 planes in my seatle and i loved every kill of it :)
Can you make a nice video on the immelman? I think it's really fun and beautiful and it's named after the ww1 flying ace !
So all I heard from this video is... get the Malta...
All I heard is, if I am facing a Malta in a DD, the best action to take is to immediately yolo into the nearest cap, blasting as you go, and then start a new match. Or go and do something else.
Cancer counters cancer amazing finally a good counter for this stupid ship class that only spam behind an island or in smoke
Somewhat new to the game, there was a 2 year gap in my early history with wows. I actually really dig the concept of carriers even tho I’ve seen them get a lot hate in some games I’ve been in recently. Out of spite I made a decision that was probably pretty bad, having maybe a total of one year of playtime I shouldn’t be buying high teir CVs until I master the lower tier. But I just saw the “newer” version of the movie midway. And was at the same time pretty inspired, so I bought the malts half from spite, and half from inspiration. With a coupon a lil bit of steel, and the rest coal I was able to acquire the ship for myself. I consider it to be my flagship of my lil virtual navy i got going, so idk thanks for making this video it helps and is informative on these subjects.
Long comment that exemplifies why the game is going downhill fast. Between people like you and those who enjoy submarines, it's no wonder people don't want to play "World of Warships" anymore. Why bother when you're in a "warship" being oppressed by planes and submarines XD
@@danbuckner8364 idk all I know is I don’t have fun with game anymore and have since quit lol
Break this down. In a salvo that you can reload every 30 seconds in a BB you can easily deal 5-20k damage. In a cruiser that reloads every 7-17 seconds you can deal 3-20k damage if not more. And people are whining that every 2 minutes IF a CV hit ALMOST ALL of its ordinance they can do about the same.
There are not many CV players that can accurately hit the rockets and torps. I can dodge 3 out of torps in a fast BB cruiser and generally all in a DD. Then the CV player has to fly all the way back again, where as a BB can just line up and shoot again.
Stop crying about every CV out there and just play the game. Sometimes a CV will pick on you, so what. DDs can pop smoke that lasts 2 minutes and there is NOTHING you can do as a BB. They are undetectable up until 5KMS! Seriously, all this bitching about CVs is just getting sad. They aren't going anywhere, wither stop playing or build a bridge and deal with CVs that can deal damage.
Just downloaded the game and it doest seem active, i get 3 real players in a quick match and all bots
New players are put into bot matches for the first ~30 or so games, or until you get to TV, so that you can learn the ropes
@@sealordmountbatten played the game alot the past few days, alot more people play it than i tought. Your videos are really helping me understand the game better, thanks!
Flamu was right.
He is always right.
Y didn't you tell us this whole I could still buy it?!?
I am dogshit at CVs…. I’m going to pick a cv line and see how long it takes me to get to t8…. I’m going to guess 3 months… playing only CVs for the next 3 months.. I’m sorry to anyone that ends up with me on their team 😅😂
The weapons on each type of plane are good, but the aircraft themselves are easy to take out with high AA, so to say you can hurt cruisers is not really accurate, especially if they have even remotely good AA.... and as always, never attack 2+ ships at a time as that is suicide for the Malta's planes.
But you have that sub 60s plane regen rate, so as long as you juggle your planes, it doesn’t really matter
Those "easy to take out planes" have some of the highest hp, super fast regen and high reserve
This video littery just demonstrated the aircraft fly right into a litteral wall of flak. What ship on its own is actually gunna pose a threat to a point you wouldn't attack it or suffer enough losses you regret it
@@SkyRaider-31 Would you like a list of ships that Malta players, and CV players in general, need to be wary of? Halland is still unappoachable, Mino in smoke, DM, Wooster, Puerto Rico. A Sherman is also something to be wary of, this ship can be an AA beast if its speced up for that. I generally avoid any cruiser that I know has a panic button. Best defense vs a CV is the same defense against a BB.....wsad. Never drive in a straight line for very long.
@@bryanholtby5541 So, in your average game, there are 0 or 1 ship in the enemy team that the Malta needs to even vaguely worry about. Got it.
yeah another cv that i even hate with my life. If a play it and it ok but if i against it and i smoked instantly
Really ? People are complaining because the Malta can dish out 25 k per run on a light cruiser ?
When a Yamato can easily one shot a light cruiser from 20km+, every 30 seconds ?
SMH....
Too be fair, shells are far easier to dodge than Planes that literally can track your movement, spot you and spawn their "shells" right into your face
Thats what people find disgusting about CVs
@@nicz7694 There is no dodging Yamato's shells in a Minotaur or a light cruiser, you get lolpenned at any angle.
Level bombers' drop on the other hand can be mitigated AND the CV gets punished for focusing a Mino/Jinan/Worcester/and whatnot....
If you get devstruck by a 20km+ away Yama it's entirely 100% your fault
@@danh7411 100% agreed !
And if you take 25k per CV drop, 100% your fault equally.
@@gaelm3731 have you even played Mino or Malta beforehand? It's super easy to remove the Mino in maximum 3 bomb drops.
The Malta doesn't even get punished that much with big reserve and giga fast regen.
SLB....this CV is pretty toxic. the problem is is if you are in a light Cruiser you have next to no counterplay. if by maneuvering (or simple maneuver in WG speak) you reduce it from 3/4 go to only 1/2 or 1/3 of your hp being wiped away that is still toxic as hell.
CLs were already in a bad spot from all the high MV and overmatch guns as well as subs and CL hunting DDs.
you can do the same in a few different cv's, they get to do that in particular to ships that can shred their squadrons when using def aa boost.
Hello, lately almost all the channels I follow are paying more and more attention to Tier 10 ships. I guess this is justified from the point of view of the fans of these channels. In-game though, for the past 4 and more weeks, the presence of T10 ships in "random battles" has become unbearable.
I have chosen to specialize in the German T8 cruiser Mainz and the battleship Tirpitz.
Unfortunately, though, it's almost impossible to get into a battle dominated by T8 or T7 ships. What's more, in the last 3 weeks I'm always if not the only one, of only 3 Tier 8 ships in a Tier 10 team. And by T10 I mean predominantly T10, not T9 and a few T10.
This started to become a very annoying situation that pretty much put me off using any of my Tier 8 ships.
I would really like to be able to select "no T10 ships/battles please".
I personally am a fan of the more historically accurate ships, those from T5 and T6 for example, to realistic ones in T8. The ships in T9 and T10 do not match these characteristics, with too many gadgets, and too much firepower, the game becomes something completely different. I know there is a large group of players who like this, but there are also those like me who don't like it. I would really like to have the option, especially in "random battles" to limit my participation in teams to T9 ie. no Tier10 ships battles.
Let them play with themselves, or even T9, but I'm bored of being the cannon fodder in T10 fights.
I'm not the best cv player but since the rocket change I've got really good at using carpet bombs against speeding dds so hitting a cl will be easy. Definitely picking this as next coal ship.

It's playerbase isn't going anywhere so why not?
Love the Malta! Super fun CV
Even more reasons not to play this broken title well done WG you’re going to be the laughing stock of the gaming world if not already haha
They’re bad but far from the de facto laughingstock of gaming. You forget Blizz and EA exist and they’re leaps and bounds worse than WG.
It not the Ship it the team you are on the counts . There is nothing you can do it the rest of the team suck or they are just bots Look at the team scores at the end of the Video !
The Omnissiah disagrees about CVs, this is heretic.
The game is ruined by CV and subs..
Definitely CVs. They are just toxic to the game. Subs, I am still on the fence about, possibly just because there are so few of them. But, yeah, getting pinged by a sub by surprize, hitting the damage con and then getting pinged again a few seconds later feels like a really dumb game mechanic. What was the point of the damage con?

Meet the new most busted ship in the game. Just kidding! Nakimov is better.
CV's against ships is like shooting ducks in a barrel. Hopefully this game dies soon.
true, CV players should understand that they can play world of warplanes if they want to play with aircraft's. make a no cv game mode so the mosquitoes can play with themselves and bots.
The Malda
So glad I quit playing this piece of shit 4 ish months ago.
