AI Carrier Cap???

NO Robots in the MA's. -1  We all know what happens...Are you Sarah Connor?

yeah, when you can get some people together to defend. You have to have a substantial number of defenders to stave off even a limited attempt to sink the CV. Remember, all they are doing is suicide run after suicide run and it doesn't take a lot of 1000 pounders to do the job. And forget it if they throw in a few escourt fighters. And the auto ack is AI and that doesn't seem to be a problem. Yeah, it can be a hoot if you can get some people to help out, otherwise the CV is a swimming DUCK!!

Fixed.  I've never seen a stationary CV before.

what is this BAR, could it be, have you turned you back on the zero thats like switching from your ordinary feather duster to swiffer!

you try and cap a CV with 4 zeros against P51 suicide runs and see how you do

More times than I'd like to count, there's a damned good battle going on between a CV and a land target only to be ruined by the fun police. As soon as the carrier is found, half a dozen dimwits lift Lancs and B24s and level bomb it from 500 feet.

This is called "tactics". 

Now REAL carrier groups would have a cap posted 24/7 in a combat zone just to keep such things from happening.
 

So, get some of the folks on your team to cap the carrier.  Counter the other team's tactics with some tactics of your own.

The most dangerous thing to a CV group; an idiot driving it.

Mimic actual cv strategy.  Keep it out to sea.  One good 5 inch gunner can do alot of damage if he has time to react to inbound cons.

Here is your best defense against low level bombers after fighters have failed...

Now i know we dont have this kind of ship but you get my point...

[Bubbajj]

actual CV strategy was to have a cap at all times. Several dozen pilots that can scramble when needed. At 0200AM, it's hard to find more than a dozen people on in MW and LW. One guy can take a CV with no problem. And it's not "TACTICS", it's gaming the game. NEVER heard of low level suicide runs on CVs with the exception of the Kamikazis.

and keep a cap of 4-8 above the CV too

IMO if the puffy ack would actually hit bombers the CVs would be alot better off, but someone will still beach the freakin thing.
