People keep harping on dive bombing lancs on CVs. It's not really the problem.

Retards park CVs 1 tile offshore of an enemy field and try to get as much of a horde or a swarm of vulchers as they can.

Then you get 8+ dweebs in over-powered, laser-accurate 5" puffy ack that can nail you out past visual icon range, and there's no way to even get close to the fleet. Historically dive bombing worked. In this game? You can't even get within 50K of a fleet in a fighter, heavy or not. But you can get right over one in a set of bombers.

Bombers are sinking CVs mostly nowadays because the game balance screws up ANY other method for killing them.

Don't blame the lancasters, the b26s, etc, for being the only thing that can kill a CV these days.

Yup just blame the fun police :) It's the same as taking out all the hangars. Now on the other hand if the cv group is trying to take out the base and capture it..... all bets are off. An eye for an eye.

the cv's are almost impossible like navy pilots did it-it is more like the attempt the torpedo bombers did at midway.I would love being able to do it historically correct.As far as close,here recently me and a couple of squaddies sit on the beach and were hitting the cv with tanks and sunk it
been there destroyed that
