You are inferring that HEAVY bombers had a roll in this. No heavy level bomber ever hit a CV on the open sea.

You wanna make it easier to put the kibosh on one of the most fun aspects of this game? Why don' t you just go bomb a fighter hangar or something?

Funny thing about CVs, Im sure a couple 1000 lbrs on the deck would at least impede the launch of aircraft in real life.

Here, not so much.

I say we make RUNWAY and CV damage real in the game.

Holes in the runway, hard to take off, holes in the CV hard to take off.

It took me 3 sets of on the deck suicide Lancs to kill a CV today. Ridiculous

Put me down in favor of doubling CV damage, plus 2 torpedoes minimum required required to sink it.

They used those in WW2?

Only as a last resort after dive bombing lancasters and 110s finished strafing carriers. I know it's true because I saw it on the internet.

This kind of gamey game play which I personally consider lowest of the low is why cv's in this GAME should be made 3 times as hard.

Yes we all know in real life CV's were sunk with much less ords than 8k but this is a game where fleets have to come close to shore. Where there is no CV top cover most of the time because of the pressures to take a base. None of which happened in real life.

You wanna be a gamey punk then use what were used in real life like vals kates zero's. You could do that all day long mate...as far as I'm concerned. But Lancs and 110 strafing is .....well "Nintendo".

My sentiments still stand if only to reply to those that do suicide.

The "bombers" that helped sink the Lex were Val dive bombers off of the Zuikaku and Shokaku, not land based heavy bombers. The battle of Coral Sea was totally sea based. One clue as too how effective heavy level bombers were against ships, look at how long it took the RAF to sink the Tirpitz and it was AT ANCHOR sitting still.
