Hiding Carrier - why?

[Scca]

I have only been playing for about a year and a half now so I am really kind of new. 

I am trying to understand why would one want to hide a carrier far far away from the action?  Why would one want to hide 3 carriers far far away from the action, and together so a couple of lancs could destroy all of them.

I tried to move one this morning and was called all sorts of names including a spy for trying to get a cv into the action. 

Will one of you wise sages in the game help me understand?

SSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

If the enemy captures the port that the cv belongs to, and they sink it, they get the cv.  Hiding the cv prevents the enemy from making use of the port that they captured.

He already knows too much.

Depends what side your on really.   It is tactically a good thing for the guys doing it so they don't have to worry about CV attacks and boosts their win the war %   1 cv + port = 2 fields.

If I logon and see a team has done it to the team i'm currently on i'll go after their fields rather than the 3rd team.  Sure is a fun killer if you like CV action though.

Because they are dweebs.  

Being in a Naval Squad it is VERY frustrating to see a carrier way behind our homeland.


The carrier is there to be used and used it will be when we are in the game.

Scca the 3 cvs the knights are hiding are all close to the fronts of the battles. If any rook/bish would be dumb enough to go for them, they would look like an HQ raid, and you know the knights like to fly those 163s

Dude.

 

...Yes...I understand...He will be eliminated...

I wholeheartedly agree Rattfink.  CV's are the long arm of a country's air attack, and should be used as such.

Anyway..  I can somewhat see the reason, but it just seems dumb..

[JunkyII]

No surprise Junky would know.  He has his shade logged into knight world anytime he is on.  How else can he bust nit missions?

Not with the knights they arent, Knights dont use them right 90+ % of the time, all they do is just give the bish/rooks a good furball

uh, yup it appears.. 

It was a mistake on my part (post edited) I was thinking of someone else.  Pretend you never saw it

[BillyD]

yeah honestly I've flown with Junky for a while now and even though he's a bit excitable the only thing I've ever heard him spying on is that hot chick with big ol hooties across the street.

This type of 'gameplay' comes from people that lack the confidence to succeed in air combat and their cries of 'spy' and ... (the 'C' word) should be ignored. I am all for there being a special code written that would return the carrier to its home port if not used within a certain time frame or if more then two sectors behind friendly lines. I dont mean 'transported' to port I mean steamed there and unable to be commanded away.
