Ports & CV's Only Arena(What If?)
« on: January 11, 2007, 07:03:34 PM »
What if we had an arena/map that had only ports(on islands) & cv's?

The HQ would be on an island with many v-bases..War would likey end in a ground Battle.

Maybe enable all planes from cv for hoots.

Looking for inputs..

If we had this map, it would force people to look at destroying cvs. Instead of dive bombing lancs, we would see more torpedo runs, PT attacks and even more cruisers trying to out gun each other.

I don't really like the enableing all planes from a cv, but overall I really like the idea.

As far as CV sinkings, it would be a field day for me.

That was the original premise behind the sfma terrain. We’ve had better terrains since then.

I kind of dig the idea, too.   I'm not a huge WWII historian, but it would seem kind of like a Pacific Theater or English Channel arena.  

Don't know how I feel about enabling all planes, though.   I like the idea of being limited to only carrier based planes.  More "realistic" (although I use that word somewhat loosely).

I like the idea minus beeing able to up everything from a CV.

A "naval" map would be awesome.

Interesting idra, would be something different then the normal maps. I wouldnt mind upping in a mission of 20 some odd torpedo planes and doing a run on a cv group

I'd play it, but I think cv's would need to be a little tougher than they currently are.

I for one think that cv duels are pretty fun.  Can't wait till we play another pacific scenario with cv's.

I would say a naval arena is something different and that can't be bad.  How about well spaced islands with everything enabled and lots of cv groups?  Isn't there a low cap on cv groups though?  Since there are now in effect two MA's, those who don't like the cv heavy environment still have a place to go.

Consider though....the GV guys would have seizures.

That alone might be enough to kill the idea, since it seems one of HT's goals is to keep all types of players interacting while they do their own paticular thing.

Id like it.  I wouldnt go for all the planes to be enabled though.   Something like the Slot map used in AvA.   Have a lot of small islands with Vehicle bases and maybe a few very rear bases for HQ and strat.  Ideally the Ports should have a fighter field very close by, with just naval types available.  theres some good fun in CV vs CV action
