This week in the AvA: CARRIER WARS!!!

[ROC]

[offtopic] Ya, instead of turning the light on at night when I get home, I turn it on in the morning when I get up.  Huge energy savings there [/offtopic]

Back on topic.

Yaaaaaay, boats

We're gonna remove the F4U for the F6F as a sub for the F6F-3.

Also, the MAP?  CORAL SEA!

It's GONNA BE AWWWEEESOME.

Good, because the F4Us started USN carrier service in 1944 (late war)

They were indeed.

Thought that the Zeke was going to be overwhelmed in this setup.

I no longer think that.

A technical issue combined with a social issue.  On this map, when sunk, carriers spawn very, very far away from each other, and take a long time to get back into the combat area.  That's the technical issue.

The social issue is the people who will come into the arena, get the enemy carriers within easy range of their own fleet (or base) by switching sides, taking command, moving the fleet within range, then switching back and sinking them.  (Probably these are the same people who, later in life, will journey to ranches where they can shoot tethered buffalo.)

Fork's solution is to eliminate the ability of players to move the fleets.  Obviously this can only solve part of the problem, but it's why things are as they are.  So give it some cooperation, and practice your divebombing and torpedo attacks on the cruisers and destroyers that abound.
