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.


Just give them spawns to the other islands... :)

Good idea, but disable all heavy bombers at all fields. That eliminates the Lancaster problems.

Ah wait, only ports and CVs. No heavy bombers would be available. :)

Then all we'd have to deal with is a ton of people who have never taken off from a carrier asking how to do it. :eek:

I sort of like it but see a few problems.

As soon as this happens everyone's going to cry for a GV only arena, a fighter only arena, a toolshedder only arena...

If they get their way everyone will end up in their own arenas and the diversity we have now will be gone from the MA's.

A (mostly) water map with more CV's than normal might be fun until all your CV's have been sunk.  Then the fun drains out pretty fast.

I'd say keep it like it is but add a few more CV's to certain maps to see if Naval battles increase.

One option is to have a CV heavy arena instead of CV only.  Given its a MA this makes sense.  

CV's do respawn relatively quickly.

It would be neat to have a CV only arena...would be neater if we had a few more carrier based aircraft (Raiden and others).

Lagger, you are such an odd man!

I do think it's a good idea though, with the exception of using any aircraft

You think taking off from a carrier in a fully loaded Hellcat can be tricky when the boats turning, try it in a B-17, lol

Well Lagger, me and Hel deal with you everyday, so im not sure why he seems surprised, cuz im not! lol


I LOVE the idea, except all planes.  GV guys can always get their way, not every map has Tank towns and all.


No heavy bombers would be great, it would focus more attention to the TBM/B5N & SBD/D3A type bombers.  Personally, i believe these bombers are given very little attention in the game as it is!

Would LOVE to see a swarm of SBD/TBM bombers with Hellcat Escorts attacking a CV group!!  Would be a sight to see!


And i think if we do this, we'd need a bigger task group.  Couple more Destroyers, Cruisers, and maybe even a Battleship??  Would definitely make CV vs CV action that much more interesting!!

ive also thought of that 256x256 Island map, spread out on a 512x512 map would be fun.

Islands would be slightly bigger, and alot more CV's. Heavy bombers would have to fly along way from the mainlands, and as you said, "proper" CV attacks with torpedo runs would then happen.

the main issue would be what do you do when there isnt any cv battles? most people in here want bases less than 12miles apart due to the counterstrike (instant action) culture that has taken grip on most games.

the beaches on the islands would be V-bases or Ports, airfields would be limited to inland mostly. this way CV captures with LVT's will be against GV's, while the airwar happens above them. More realistic.... whoever has air power over the beach, will gain the base.

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


what?! they can already take well over 3x1800kg bomb. some ships are almost unskinable.

the only reason they need to be so hard now is due to constant low level buffs suiciding over them.
