I saw the USS Kidd a couple years ago when I went to Baton Rouge for Nationals bowling tournament, right across the street from the convention center...  somewhere I got pictures of that trip...

Hope this iceberg is a pretty deep one!


Great work waffles you really have been sold into white slavery.

Now back to work we want more more more!


I'm hoping for maybe another plane and some more re-worked cockpits Typh/temp or maybe one of the Japanese.  

As another wish I would like to see names on who is in what gunner position and maybe an option so that if you out rank that person you can kick them out of the gun!  

More control options over the CV, a lock down of the flight deck and maybe seperate control of the cruiser from the main CV.  So you could keep the carrier off shore and move in the cruiser on its own.

Way too many players mis-use the gun positions to risk letting those of them who happen to have a good score have that sort of monopoly...

I'd like to see icon tags on the guns but I'm against the rank boot option

ok how about Vehicle/boat rank only.

A good gunner is what is needed to save a ship or carry out the necessary shelling.

The rank boot option is already in place for overall command why not for a lowly gun position?

If you can see who is in the gun I would only use it to kick "newer" players out only and even then when it matters.

Of course even experienced players may not be that good when it comes to naval warfare but it would provide an incentive to stay alive and improve score.

LYNX back me up here  ;)

sounds like a solid way to keep the good gunners good and the bad gunners bad, if i may say so bruv. the new guys have got to learn somewhere and having 'mr. rank' kick you out of the gun every five minutes is no way to improve.

Tough loving bat.

CV action quite often provides good solid furballs and they would last slightly longer if people could shoot (and pork)!

The new CV group will have plenty of positions and 5inch is where its at.  Really annoying to be holding a good cap and then see buffs low on the deck carpet bomb a CV you intended to land on with your last drop of fuel,

The training arena and offline can provide practice.

I would also like to see guys in gun positions rank as killed if blown up but thats a different story.

anyway they need to get the hell out of the gun and up a damned airplane!


Learn to fly rather than sit in a gun. (usually the 40mm right next to my 5inch on constant fire at stuff 5k away)

I agree that CV's would last a lot longer if newer players would learn the value of the pork.
The same thing that has led to the decilne in porking has led to the rise in hangar killing. You no longer see any effects of taking down a fields supplies. Yeah the ords going down means they cannot bomb you, but making the hangars flat means they cannot up anything at all. Once upon a time this could be accomplished by taking out the fuel bunkers as well as the ordinance and it could be accomplished with much less wailing and hand wringing there is these days.
