Why not resupply for cv's?

[Killjoy2]

Why not let us fly a goon out with field supplies to repair a CV?

[DipStick]

I think that's a cool idea. You drop parts, fire extinguishers and mechanics.

Why not take it further and have "parts" as an option like bombs and you can land them on the CV in fighters too.

no no no, CV's have to be repaired in a ship yard. when a cv is damaged you should have to steam to a frendly port to have it repaired.

Ssssssssssshhhhhhhhh!
Bring on the goons. Bring em out over the water by the droves. A plethera of goons I say.
Muuuhahhhahhaaaahhhhaaaaaaaaa!

Why not have big fluorescent bouys the task force can sail over for resupply?

[Jackal1]

And power-up clouds for the planes.
If we could only get Mario flying we would have it whooped.

Houston... We have sarcasm...

Ya think? People wanting power up options for vehicles that couldn't be repaired on the fly as easy as lets say a ground vehicle.

It's bad enough CVs can take direct hits on the deck that only knock out guns. They don't affect whether or not the CV can still launch aircraft. Hit the tower but yet they can still maneuver the ship. It shouldn't take sinking her to render her ineffective. By making bombs this lethal it would limit the amount of 2 mile offshore CV groups you see. If you want to bring a cv in that close then you'll have to protect her accordingly by knocking out shore batteries for starters, then knock out ord and vehicle spawns if they have PT spawn points. Currently it's a matter of attrition and who can protect the cv from the large heavy bombers or torpedo aircraft. A lucky fighter bomber with ord should be able to render the flight deck useless. If this happens take her home or risk losing her for period of time.  

It'd also be nice to see a mixture of airfield types also. That would add a little more to think about when capturing a base and when making a map. There were three types of runways in use during the war (natural(dirt or grass), steel matting, or concrete). Adding fields like this would determine what could or could not be launched from a particular field. With that bombing the runways would mean something just like it did during the war. It wouldn't render them useless for a long period of time but it would be enough to slow down or completely stop operations for a decent amount of time. Dirt/grass fields would take the shortest amount of time to repair, then steel matted fields and then concrete fields. We shouldn't be able to launch from a runway that was freshly hit by a bunch of bombs.

Ummmmmmmm uggghhhhh wanna run that by one more time?


Patooey on all that. If we get different type fields I want USO shows and doughnut dollies dangit.

But most importantly, bring on the goons to resup them CVs.

[Cobra412]

Jackal just how easy was it to repair a ship deck or any major area on the fly in the middle of a battle? Asking for goon resupplies to fix the cv is absurd.

If this is what people want then aircraft should be fully repairable when in the rearm area. They should be repairable anywhere for that matter so long as a "goon" is nearby to drop supplies for them.

Not exactly so, at the Battle of Midway, USS Yorktown was badly
damaged by Japanese torpedo and dive bombers, holes in the
flight deck and her boilers down, bout an hour later she was
able to launch a second strike against the Japanese fleet.  Later
she was hit again and was abandoned, the next day, repair
parties boarded her and started making repairs when a sub
slipped in and hit with 2 or 3 torpedos and she finally sank.

Same thing with the Lexington at the Battle of the Coral Sea,
hit by several torpedos, they were able to get her going again
but a leaking avgas bunker spread gas fumes through the ship
and a electrical spark ignited them, the resulting explosion blew
both elevators out of their wells and over the side.  The crew
were not able to control the fires and she had to be abandoned.
A US destroyer had to sink her just after dark because the fleet
commander was afraid the the fires that were burning would
give away the position of the US fleet.  The Navy works real hard
at damage control, so that they can stay in the fight.

Absurd? Absurd you say? Well sure it is, but I say bring them goons on, the more the merrier.
The term "fish in a barrel " comes to mind.
Muahhahhhaaaaaaaaaaa!

[Cobra412]

Ah should have figured there was another reason you'd want them. Easy kills. Imagine that.

[Jackal1]

LMAO Here let me help ya out there Cobra. You seem to be having a little trouble grasping extreme sarcasm when you see it. I should have placed this in the posts for identification purposes..................... .....

Why not have the floating dry dock like someone posted in the boards
