[mussie]

OH Gawd

There would be a sudden increase in illegal CV burnouts and Groundings

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.

Excuse me, but explain why there would there would ever be any battle over a CV if it it couldn't be sunk. How many epic battles have you had over your HQ since they're almost impossible to kill now?

Question number two, isn't the point of furballing over the CV to defend it? Oops, that's an oxy-moron,...."point of furballing", it's purposeless, disregard that question.  

As a bomber pilot, I'll say that CV's are difficult enough to kill now. You fly long slow boring flights to get within sight of the CV only to have red guys jump you and shoot your bombers down, plus having the puffy ack take out one or two of your buffs.

It's a game, it's all pretty pointless:aok  If I want to feel like I accomplished something, I'll go look at some pRon. I furball b/c it's fun.

As a former bomber pilot all I can say is you need to practice more as sad as that is to say.  I hardly bomb anymore but if I want a CV dead I can pretty much kill it at will with my lanc and drones.

Unsinkable CVs, untakable bases....

How about unkillable fighters with unlimited fuel and ammo? Furball forever!



PS:
For those who can read only what was written - it's joke.

  Best thing Ive read on here all year.

[bagrat]

how about simply not allowing bombers to control an entire formation, make the bomber more durable as to not get killed by one .5sec burst of 50cals

when it comes to attacking CV's with no intention of survivng all a formation of bombers means is "i have 3 lives"

but then again defending urself with a single bomber would be really tough

oh and kinda off topic but does anyone else feel that the cockpit shot effect should not effect bombers. (the effect where 2 rounds into the cockpit blow up the entire plane...)

[Saxman]

How about increasing the volume of AAA? If you watch a lot of the old camera footage those guns are throwing up a veritable WALL of lead and flak.

Good Idea and it needs both parts enacted:

1) Kill all the escorts first.

2) The CV must remain at least 20 miles offshore. That would also change the minimum LVT launch range.


To take it one stage further, LVTs would launch from LSTs (not CVs) that could break off from the CV group and with a few destroyer escorts move closer to shore. If all the LSTs are sunk then the base could not be captured by LVTs, but the air battle could continue from the CV while the attackers try to get a C-47 or M-3 into the town.

1) Nope, CV should be able to be killed on its own.
2) Maybe in conjuction with your 'one stage further'.

Needs one change implementing ASAP -
Guns should not be able to be killed by any cannon rounds of any size.
Small ack guns should be able to killed by rockets.
Main cruiser guns and both cruiser and CV 5" should need eggs.

No way!  
I have been playing a while bro, like 9 years.

But like Saxman said... the wall of ack should be hitting these guys before they are even in their planes gun range of hitting the CV.  Way too easy to take down all the guns and make a CV ded and useless.

you might get more support for your ideas LAZ

if you would refrain from the constant bashing of

buff pilots.

your whole point could have been made without

the "talentless" BS

IMO it makes you sound like an arrogant purr-ick

[Oleg]

Bombs must not damage ships (CV & CA at least) unless direct hit. This will be enough.

But he is correct.  A Task Force can be neutered by a Lone A8, I know, because I've done it a few times.   But the "inevitable" diving bombers are entertaining.

Not to Good Idea,
I don't think their needs to be another side to it ! ,  CV's need to be able to close in  on Towns for shelling, making for raging ship/shore gun battles, along with the rest of the fight.
