Perk Ships

[rabbidrabbit]

There are many good ideas out there for improving gameplay.  This is one of them.

[Seagoon]

I've always wondered; if an idea in the wish-list gets mostly positive feedback from the player community like say ummmm.... this one, how does it affect the chances of it being implemented by HTC? Do they actually shop ideas from this forum?

How exactly does interaction between this forum and our respected and beloved game designers work?

I would say they be perked around the 40-60s and that if u want to be a gunner u at least have to pay 5 perks or just be like bomber gunners and be free(whitch i would go for).and like fleet destroyers there be auto guns,not every where just in the areas where the fleet destroyers have theirs.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't destroyer escorts anti-submarine ships  ? Therefore, since we don't have submarines, why do we need them again? Don't get me started on the 2 5 "s.

Seagoon I've seen it happen several times over the years.

Granted it doesn't happen every week, or even every patch. But when a truly good idea comes along that fits where he wants AH to go HT is smart enough to grab it. Which is part of the mystique of why people post here, and its why you should search first. If it has already been posted once, there really is no possible use of repeating it.

HTC doesn't bow to pressure of any kind from anyone. Period.

So if it didn't get picked up the first time it was posted it won't be picked up this time either, or the 29th time, or the 332nd time.

And yes this is one of those ideas that should be used!

You are correct, although I thought it might be nice to have something different, and slightly less powerful than the DD so this didn't get too wild.  The destryer escorts still had 3" guns, good AA defense and torpedos.  You could still have fun in them, plus they're faster.

very nice

[LLogann]

This might just be the craziest thing I have heard all day...

... But I like it darn it!!!

[Connery]

How about rather than a perk value, say that perhaps in order to take one of these boats out you need X amount of people before you can spawn one? Perhaps for the number of gun positions or something?

Kinda like a crew, perhaps it could even be tied into Rank/Score somehow so that you dont get say everyone who's managed to get 200 vehicle perks (it isn't hard) spawning them all at the same place and absoutely mincing a base?

Just an "out of the box thought" for consideration ?

[mentalguy]

Maybe for additional perkies we could get one of these

or these

[NEARY]

The idea is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

[Coolguy0730]

 

I love it, use the AA crusiers though. That be fun as hell. Maybe gove them the ability as a spawn point for landing craft?

Think this is one of the Great Ideas to come along in a while.

Would be nice to have a piloted version of the DD we have now, that would avoid bringing the CV fleet right up on the "Beach." like most players do.

Would also like to see a more substantial type of vessel that brings the rebuilding materials to the strats and fields as to make it a better target for players. Such as a regular cargo ship instead of the barges.
