A CV based map would be a great idea imo. If formatted with 3 carriers and numerous support ships per CV group, it would be very cool. Make carriers supplyable, or at least self healing like land bases. As for the kill joy carrier kamakazies....thats what high alt cover is for. Fly dumb, or greedy, with no high cover...you will loose your Carrier.( or at least 1 or 2 of em). Make the ports airfields also like Ozkansas map so that they could be defended, and the buff flyers could have a place to take off from. Sea battles were one of the biggest factors for victory in the war ( pacific at least) and I agree it's time to give them there due.
As allways, feel free to call me stupid, correct spelling, whine, or reply with any irrelivent remark that suits you.
