wishlist rember that guys....
why cant we just ad to the CV group another CV or 2 i know in the old big map with the 6 CV's per country they had 2 cruzers on some CV groups, why cant we get 2 cariers per group (if one falls to a bomber chances are he cant get both in one run.)

I say an escort carrier.

I liked the old 2 full size CVs and 4 Cruisers with destroyer escort suggestion.

I wouldn't mind seeing straight up amphibious groups too - let them get close inshore and spawn tanks and LVT2s onto the beach (something just made for those Sherman drivers to try). Without CV cover, they are probably easy meat, but for those that want to try some real CV / Combined Ops - it would fix a lot the problems we have with CV drivers bringing the group right up to the shore batteries.

Amphib group would be Cruisers and Destoyers primarily, but HT could add as a primary target either some kind of large freighter, or maybe that Iowa BB with 20 5" and 40 x 40mm guns to make everybody see what deadly ack is really like.

Id like to see 3 surface task forces per port

1. Fleet CV Task Force like we have now
2 CV
2 CA
4 DE

2. Surface force to patrol and bombard
1 BB
2-CA
4-DE

3. Invasion force
2 CVE
2 CA
4 DE
2 LST

Thing in the middle looks like a bloated whale with a wooden deck.

I get the point though. And always second that idea.

hehe what do you want for 10 minutes work?

BTW the BB does look bloated compared to a CA.

I second the escort carier
a real bomer cant land on a carier especialy a b-17

the midway map has really nice TGs they got like 4 CVs (atleast the Knight's TG's have 4, i think the BIsh ones have two) the only thing is that you can only up from 2 of them
