I agree Wobble post describes the stragegic/tactic-wise use of the fleet. However, I drove yesterday nite TG20 to A40 and made it turn around it at the closest possible distance. It was a dweebish movement, I know, but It was a helluva fun. And I think It was both to attackers and defenders. On the attackers side, I could not find a sigle open slot to man the guns for about one hour. On the defenders side, I could not track a single complain in text buffer (tho I have to admit my attention to that was very loose).

Most of all, I think it depends on the situation. If you are in trouble, and enemy is pushing, you better move your pawns wisely. But, sometimes, people just want to tangle & furball for a time.

btw, 5" AA is a blast!

Cheers,

Pepe

even though i dont play in the main arena here are some of my ideas on task force manuevers..

1. Keep constant CAP around your task force.
2.Always keep an Alert 5 of a TBM and F6F/Chog ready for action.
3. Make sure your pilots carry external fuel when leaving the carrier..if they dont its just plain idiocy.
4.Mixing attack sorties of TBMs and fighters with Routine patrols in the area of where the enemy is "Supposed to be" will allow you to strike first.
5.launching your strike at a considerable range will save your bellybutton in the long run and that is what external fuel is for...duh?


as for using your task force as some kind of Picketts charge is ludicrous and its just wasting your time and resources. The carrier is your pride of the fleet not cannon fodder.

So i guess Im with the CV commander wussies on this...

but hey! i dont pay so my opinion doesnt count..

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

The CV commander just steers the boat, he has no control over the other players.  You could not get anyone to just CAP a cv group, and there is no way to request some guys spend their game time just sitting around waiting for action.  I appreciate your suggestions, and while these are/were valid real world tactics, they wont work in a game/sim where everyone wants instant action and gratification, me included.

Heh Nefari, what happened to your signing up?

WHat you suggest above may suit real world TF tactics, but errrm  LOL the MA is far from it.  Often the fleet doesn't even get far from its home port therefore if it does die its not a huge loss, as another will respawn close by.  Hard to really explain all the differences but signup man and come see
