All of your ideas are crap. Every last one.

Except one.

Dear Retired,

Thanks ~~999000~~

Dear respected enemy,

If I had a dollar for every time I killed your buffs 100ft over a CV (in the past 3 years) with the 5" guns, I would have enough money to buy HTC out and rewrite the software to accommodate your request about the torpedoes.

It's not me, but I know a "talentless mouse wielding fluff driver" who'll sink 3 cv's with the same formation of Lanc's. If you check his ranking, you'll see that it's about 300, or less. Seems to me that it takes a lot of talent to get a rank like that.

As for the hardness of the cvs, I think they are unrealistically tough. In reality a 500# bomb on a deck would render it unusable for hours if not days. Not so in this game where the elevators never ever get knocked out, all burning wreckage is immediately doused with Halon and transported to a recycling facility, and the deck is made out of something I wish my panzers were made out of.

The cv's are defended with epic battles because there is a risk of loosing them. I doubt if there would be the effort to save them if this was not the case. I also suspect that if they were made even more unrealistically tougher the incentive to attack them would be reduced.

Those of you who love the epic cv battles, why do you want to wreck it?

As for keeping them 20 miles offshore, isn't that what the shore batteries are for? Why force that in the game?

I like the idea of the escorts having to be sunk before the CV.

Bronk bring back your old avatar!!!

I could probably beat that rank with just 3 sorties in a Stuka carrying the MOAB to "cities".

Rank is not an indicator of anything.

That would depend on who made the carrier. British carriers had armored flight decks and were far less vulnerable to damage.

I dislike cv's....why should they be able to pull up within a rocks throw of shore and bombard a base with guns and lvts???

is that somehwere historical that i missed???

and why cant shore guns aim all around instead of limited patterns so cvs can sit out of range???????? so dontgive me the "thats what shore batteries are for"

im fine with hardening a cv so it is hard to sink...but take away base capture abilities then..let it be what it was...a plane platform...not a gv/troop platform....

til that is fixed let it be eaily disabled as is any airbase or vh....

During Fight in Corall Sea CV "Lexington" got 5 bombs hits and 2 torpedos in one side and remain fully operational until secondary vapor's explosion. "Yorktown" got single heavy bomb hit in flight deck and remain operational as well.

8000lb to kill carrier too much comparing RL though, but achieving hits far easier and you dont even need to actually land bomb in ship.

I may be wrong, but i dont think there was any significant difference for 500-1000lb bomb.

British carriers with their armored flight decks were far less susceptible (sp) to damage than their American or Japanese counterparts that had wooden flight decks.

Oleg · « **Reply #57 on:** June 17, 2006, 02:53:19 PM »

How strong it was armored? As i said, i highly doubt it make any difference at all for medum/heavy bombs.

Flight decks on the British carriers were pretty well armored. Made a big difference when they were attacked with bombs. I dont recall all the specifics, but the difference was very substantial.
