Ships Remodeled

The Ships need remodelled on 2 levels.
First off, the ships use AH1 shapes and textures, these look rather tacky when everything around them are being updated. I think that the ships need a make over in that area (the CV flight deck mirrors in the texture file...) Instead of having Escort Destroyers (which cannot obtain the same speeds of a carrier), we should have a better representation of a destroyer you would see in a carrier task force.

Second, a few things could be done to improve ships performance modelling. Perhaps have a function called "Evasive Manouvers" that only someone in control of a fleet can use. These would have the ships follow a zig zagged path (instead of the predetermined "waypoint" path). Ships could zig zag independent of each other, so say the cruiser is turning left, the Carrier will turn right. This would prevent one flight of buffs from taking out both large ships in one pass. Whenever the ships are set to "Evasive Manouvers" a warning horn could sound like it would have in WW2.
Another thing for ship modelling, the pitch of the ship. Instead of the ships staying level in a sharp turn, they would slightly tilt to one side (15º max).

Real nice, but lets start with making the stream of water over your head on the CV deck go away!

I would like to see water spray come over the deck ever so often.  and how about the CV deck be the right size it just dosent seem right in the pic's of  outher CV's they have like 3 planes wing tip to wing tip across the deck. that would be nice to.
