Taking Carriers Out Of The Game??????
« on: April 29, 2010, 10:32:26 AM »
When I logged off last night at 3am I zoomed out on the map and noticed 6 of our (Rook) carriers sent to the corner of the map where they were untouchable as well as unusable. What in the world is this game really coming too guys. IS this just a Rook thing going on? I sent them back but logged on again to see they were again redirected to neverland.

I play for the fun and competition of jousting with my betters and sending carriers out of the game just to insure that no other country could possibly grab one is lowering the game play for everyone just to satisfy the desires of a few. This is no different than one person having the ability to take a single aircraft out of the game so no one on the map can use it.
 
I think HiTech should set barriers around the maps so the few (I got to win this map at all cost guys) don't have the ability of lowering the game standard. Instead of redirecting the CVs back into play (which takes hours if no one else catches you) I have found it much easier to switch sides and bomb them back into play.

Giving any one individual the ability to send 6 carriers out of the game is not fair to the majority $14.95ers out there and quite frankly, not a very sporting way to play.

Are you kidding? 

I love trying to find hidden carriers and sinking them.

Provides a unique application to which the AR234 is particularly suited.

Unfortunately, they don't seem to be hiding when I'm online to be able to hunt for them.

Might have to check back in more often..

Hmmm.

I never did understand the "take port, and hide carrier" tactic. Seems likes such a waste of a good cv.

As the CO of a Navy squad this gets annoying when some score potato war winner will take control of them one by one and start sending them to the edges of the map. This great war minds usually have zero life outside the game and will just change your cv path till you log off.

Moving CV's who have no friendly port is both the smart and right thing to do.

Fixed.  

It's only really bothersome to me when people will move a CV into the abyss simply because the home port is under threat of capture.  That CV should be parked next to said port to help out with defense, and doing otherwise is depriving folks of what could otherwise be a fun fight.  (Not to mention decreasing the odds of successful defense) It's not like the armchair generals / admirals have to send home a couple thousand letters to the grieving parents of the CV crew.   :rolleyes:

If they didn't have the CVs floating in the abyss somewhere, they'd be parked in front of a shore battery at a base with the ord still up. I find it's best just to stay away from CVs, as most of guys who take control of them are complete imbeciles.

This is the kind of thinking I am speaking about. So your answer would be, If I can't have the port then no one gets the CV?

Thank God we can't move the towns into hiding. We would run out of bases to launch from.

do the generals and admirals know you can have the cv 1-3 sectors out and it still be useful? the cv isn't a giant lvt that needs to be on the beach to be useful.

Condor the problem with HTC creating restrictions for everything that bothers some players is that the unintended consequences pile up and become worse than the original issues. It's always best for the players to find their own solutions.
