Battleships/Convoys as a Fleet option
« on: July 17, 2007, 05:02:43 PM »
I would love to see a Battleship in place of the CV once in a while. It is a major effort to Kill a CV. I can see a big interest in hunting down and killing a BB. the support ships can remain the same. Not to mention a nice gunnery duel or shore bombardment mission against a base.

 Another option would be a supply convoy. A convoy would generate STRIKE missions and Convoy CAP. the convoys loss of ships can be tied to regional supply status just like POL, AMMO, etc are now.

It's been requested many times before, but I definitely second. It would be REALLY nice to have a dedicated bombardment group so people can keep the CVs a safe distance from the target (you know, which is how surface groups REALLY operated).
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.
