IF they model it realistic. It's been awhile since my WB days but wasn't it modeled where you had to hit the ship directly to do damage? Not sure on this one.
I have been reborn a new man!

Notice I never said a better man.

lol.

I have a feeling the CV group ack is going to pack one helluva whoop. As for PT boats? Big deal. It's like being in any ground vehicle now and having some dweeb do the kamikaze dive.

Without carriers turning into the wind to launch I assume that they will be heading on thier course as set by the current boss for that side. A P47 with 2 1ks and 1 500 diving at 500 mph will be a pretty dangorous plane Kamakazi or not. I would imagine they will make the deck imune to general purpose bombs and only let Dive bombers take AP bombs.

Dunno,, if kamikaz'ing is gonna work...

if don't work now on building or vehicles, (ie, if ya crash into a building or vehicle it does squat, except to kill ya..) doubt it'll work on ships or boats.
