Lame

I don't post much anymore, and I've been playing this game a long time now. I usually don't mind much, but tonight I took one look at the map and logged off. Currently the Rooks are hiding 5 CVs. I don't really care about this kind of tactic, but 5? Damn.

I can see stashing the CVs if you are going to cluster them into a Mitchner size CV group with 4 flattops and then raise havoc....but just hiding them to protect them?

I never understood this tactic. Not being a rook and not having seen the current map I can't comment specifically to that, but in general to having seen this before myself it seems... wrong. CV's should be offensive tools primarily and defensive if your under attack, i.e. the horde is rolling base after base down your coast. A cv popping up next to your base can add an edge. Loosing a CV isn't terrible, but having one and never using it is IMO.

I put up a post a little while ago on how something like this could be dealt with.

I think a "fix" (if you see this as an issue) would make for some interesting game tactics.   :airplane:

You lost me on this one.  How do you hide a CV?

I don't understand what the problem is here?

Isn't the point of the CV to hide and be unnoticed until it reaches a base? Then once it gets there you perform a mission or squad raid to attempt a capture?

If you are in a squad, those CVs hiding next to bases should be easy(ier) than normal with about 5-6 guys.

You can always take control of the CV and point it to where you want.

If you are an enemy, I don't want you to find my CVs ethier. So I guess I just don't understand what you are implying here?

Players capture enemy cv's and steam them back deep into friendly territory,  taking them out of play....... hiding them.

As a count toward the full base count they don't use them, so they can't lose them and so "save" those bases toward the count for the win.

Perhaps we need a new category called "Whine". This feels like a whine. The bish are known for their dirty tricks. So when someone does it back to them, they don't want to endure the same crap they inflict on other teams. Bish just want to win and don't care about "fair". Try whining at your own team mates for bringing this on. The knights have to endure this crap all the time from the bish. You don't see the knights whining about it on the boards. One question I ask a lot is "do the bish ever stop whining?"

Ahh I see thanks.

What's so hard about taking control of it and moving it?

Is it really effecting the game play that much?

Seems like CVs shouldn't count as bases? Maybe the ports though.

This seems like a stupid tactic to me. Considering you could capture more bases with a CV. And if the CV goes down, you still get it back if you have control of the port.

   Effecting the enemies ability to make war has always been a valid tactic. It's no different than porking ords, taking out HQ, ect.

   Oh and it's only wrong if the other side does it.  :noid  :rolleyes:
