Right/Wrong

[bzek74]

Lastnight I locked out a cv keeping it under my command while the nits were rolling hard in blue. The SB started firing on us so I took command and moved the CV way out and refused to return it untill SB's were down. I endured much crying and moaning over the topic. If I was a pure vulch yeah the extra 45 seconds of flight may have hurt. On the other side we took 19 and the cv was pretty much 100%...then 30 seconds after capture the rooks bombed us from the moon and sank it.

If you had the abilty to assume control of a situation like this what would you have done?

You are in command, you decide. Listen for good advice, but it´s your decision what to do as long as you are commanding it. If they want a different course, they should take command. If they can´t because of lower rank...their problem.

[macleod01]

Im betting there would have been more moaning and griping if you HADNT moved it and it was sunk by the SB!

[Chalenge]

Order your attack planes to destroy the SBs get ord down at all surrounding fields vulch the field while the town is dropped and then roll the LVTs. Most guys wont listen and want to furball so you will be ignored whined at and then the cv will get sunk.

lol sb died 37 seconds before the base was taken. Like I posted a million times nits rarely deack a field my rank of 80atm would probably be mid 50s if I didnt go in on ack all the time.

Heck lastnight I was checking my own 6 when I saw a nik on me and 7 nits behind it...not one sent a check 6. I wrote down the names so I have 7 people as new bait planes where I can trail the con on thier 6 same they did me.

All and All Bish are the most organized of the 3 countries. But being a nit is great fighting the odds.

IMHO
You did the right thing.
You earned the right to command by your rank:aok

I know that I can zero in on a TG 5k-7K away in a hurry from the SB, and have inflicted good damage and "ship destroyed" results in the text bar.

Plus, I like the extra Alt advantage that distance provides using one of the carrier based planes loaded heavy for the SB. They should ALWAYS be taken out before you move a TG close in.

Challenge, Furballers hate nothing more than morons that drive a CV up to a base, so check your uninformed, incorrect ideas about furballers.

Every time I see a CV driven up to a base it is the win the war crowed that either wants to get the Guns on the field from close range or want to get the LVTs swimming even though the base is far from needing LVTs.

As a furballer I would rather see the CV about 3/4s of a sector from the field, until the ord, SBs and VH is down.  Then as they are working the town you move the CV in for LVTs.  Unfortunately knights have never, and I mean after 5 years playing this game, never known how to use a CV let alone defend one.

So 74, you did the right thing trying to keep the CV alive and out of harms way.  Running it aground to make it SB, bomber, 110 fodder is the true sign of a noob or moron.

Hey 90, I was there when you had control. Not much I can say when someone ahs control of the CV, but would suggest this though. First in the map, it appearded as if you were moving to the next base before we captured 19. Second we did have someone upping for that on the cv, believe it was eagle. The thing that really pissess me off though NO-END too, I might add, is when someone has control over the cv, or had moved the damn thing into a base with ords enabled. I went on 2 runs pesonnaly and actually ordered my squad to remove ords from surrounding bases before cv was in strike range. It just blows my mind, how many people on the knits dont do this. Now I know you only took control of the thing when it had arrived at the base, no biggie to me, Im a buff driver, they wont allow me to launch my 24's off the deck, but I would let someone know whats going on, and if you did, ph*ckit, cause I didnt notice, was probable in a battle, so I dont read the text buffer when im actually fighting. Hopefully anyone on nits will remember to take ords out before ship arrives, cause its getting really old when your setup to capture a base, and you see a 24 formation up from the same damn field. BTW side bar note, I know rooks resupply all the time for ords, I have seen the fruits of my labors dryup and fall off the branch after I look back on 3 bases I just porked, and click on em and see ords up. Good going. I would also make a suggestion that if someone takes ontrol of a cv, that they ride the thing when its under attack or under their control. Like firing guns from the thing. I have ahd in the past someone take control of the cv, and where all screaming on country to turn it, and the guys afk. I dont have the rank to take command, maybe I really need to hone my fighter skills.
I digress cheers

Anyway dont sweat it, c u in game.
Cheers

I didnt move the cv to 19 I just took control when I upped and saw it was being used as a disposable vulching platform. Then I moved it back to 35 which was our base. When it was hit not one person called incoming. Or I was unfortunate not to be in vox range. So I was saving it from death once it arrived. I also stated in vox for 5 mins before I took control if sb wasnt dropped cv was getting hijacked. So my intent and communication was all there.

I have zero regrets about doing any of this after serving 10 years in the military I had to make choices that could put real people in harm and seeing this is a game it was what I considered in the better interest of our country.

And I'll do it again if needed. So really if people dont agree with my actions. Put in the time I do to obtain a good ranking if your a teamplayer I'll gladly wing and help you get there. Im not that great but working on it.

Getting a good rank is rather easy to do..all you need is time.

I don't really care about what anyone does with the CV but I will take issue with your statement about the 5 minutes you spent on vox telling other  people to go kill the SB's...with your leet rank I would think you could have done it yourself in those 5 minutes.

Too many people ingame try telling others what to do and then get all frazzeled when no one listens:lol  I would never even consider joining in with a squad whose CO says he "ordered" his squad to drop SB's:huh

The Generals ingame are annoying to listen to...instead of telling someone else to do something they might try the novel approach of actually doing it instead of crying when no one listens to their master plan.

This is in no way a shot at you personally bzek74(since I have no idea who you are)....except the part about the 5 minutes on vox:D

[TW9]

dont worry about it. u have control of the cv u do what u want with it. can write your name with the course like some dweebs ..

[4deck]

Convinceed people read what they want.

Never ordered anyone to drop the SB. People took it up to them sleves to do it. Im talking about taking the bases around 19 ordenence out. And if ordered seemed like a harsh thing so be it, I agree, Was just a flip of the tongue. But all and all my point is that if we dont do it. THERE ISNT MANY KNIGHTS that do take out troops and ords. Last night was definitly an exception, we were all working extremely well I thought. Granted we had the numbers but crap, weve had em before too, and still lost bases or not gained ground. Last night was very kewl.

Anyway who cares, Im upping in 2 hours, c u all then,.

S!

first off, cv's don't last long in here.  1 group of 26's at 5k will drop it quick.

if you see the cv in peril and no one has their name on it, controlling it, then you did the right thing.  imo, if i see someone has control of the cv i would ask first.  if they say no, ohh well.  no biggie.  If the name drops off of it, grab it and command.  Remember, the cv will be sunk.  The only way to stop that is to have a cap over cv watching for darbars from bases at least a sector away.  These will be those buffs coming in to do a baddy on the cv.

Many of times I have had control of a cv, dodging buffs, hvy juggs and whatever else they up to kill it.  Many of those times there is always 1 or 2 who come unglued about how you are commanding the cv.  Then there are those who go batty cause the cv is turning too much.  They not understand that you are trying to save the cv from the pleathora of bombs falling towards it.  

Depending on the time of day/night you fly, the best way is too destroy the town wth the 8” before you make the base flash, then up lvt’s wth cap and capture.  But if you fly during prime time, good luck cause someome will up and make base flash when it’s not ready to capture.  That leads to a short life span for the cv.

Don’t sweat it.  Relax and have fun.  The cv will respawn shortly  

S!
