CV idea...
« on: June 14, 2006, 08:46:31 AM »
Let's face it.. they are about useless in the game right now but... for the few minutes that they last.....

They are probly the source of some of the best fights in the game.

So how do you make em last longer without getting too unrealistic?  

How bout.... they can't be sunk until all the escorts are dead?   This would stop the lone mouse weilding fluffer in his "box" of fluffs from taking out the entire fight with one no talent run on the carrier.  

Maybe a tiny bit unrealistic but... in the war... no carriers were ever sunk by heavy bombers anyway so what we have is pretty unrealistic also... fluffs are accurate and easy in the game so that the talentless can have their bank accounts harvested.... no problem but..  Why make it too easy for the girls?

On the other side of it... maybe something could be done to not allow CV's to get too close to the shore.

Cracking idea,

doesn't need expanding either, sink all escorts and then you get to sink the CV

How about the guns be a bit tougher.  Lame that a Spit 16 rolls out and takes out all the manned guns in two passes and he runs home without a scratch on him.... :rolleyes:  Maybe have it so that it takes a 250lb egg to take them out?  They just seem a little too soft is all....

It is a great idea you have Lazs.... CV+Furballs= Extreme Fun! :aok

Could the various and sundry ack and ship guns be coaded to focus on the biggest threat?  

CV ack can pop a 20K 262 10 miles away, but can't shoot down a set of dive-bombing Lancs at 3K?

I like the idea... but my only issue with it is this...

On some maps when CV's are captured from the enemy they are often steamed far far away from the action and Hidden from their contry of origin (A pain in the butt for those who lost it...but reasonable).  To get them back requires taking the port back (obviously) and an often epic flight in some buffs searching thousands of square miles of ocean.

I'm afraid this proposal will essentially make getting back a CV pretty darn close to impossible... and IMOP that sounds even less fun than the situation as it stands.

Anyone have an idea around this?

I think a better way to solve this problem is allow for direct control of the CV rather than turning it by setting waypoints. Why not allow us to steer it like a GV?
