CV Mission Jumpers

[Rob52240]

Is there any possibility of having a way to prevent people from launching planes from a CV while the gunners are shelling a town before a mission?
At least half of the time when I or a squadmate have waited hours for a carrier to get into position someone decides to be a 1 man carrier attack force and alert the enemy of our presence.  This is extremely frustrating and they usually won't even respond when asked to wait for the mission to take off.

I do program for a living (mechanical processes, not games) and was wondering if some logic could be added to prevent someone from taking off from a carrier with a posted mission while no enemy players are within X miles of said carrier.

Up your mission from farther, use more fuel.

No matter if it's possible or not, it shouldn't be done.  That would be controlling how someone chooses to play.  It's frustrating, but part of the game.

Yep.

How about making it so that the town you're shelling starts flashing when you shoot at it?   

I like how a base starts flashing when a single con gets within the radar ring, but a Task Group 5 miles off shore shelling the the snot out of it, does nothing to warn the side being attacked. The only way to know it's under attack is to "happen" to be in the tower and hear the incoming rounds and buildings exploding. (unless some helpful individual decides to take-off from said CV)

Wit the Current map in orange, it is completely obvious that there is a CV off shore because the coastal bases tend to be far from the rest of the enemy bases.

My wish: Un-stealth the CV.  Flash the base after the first object is destroyed by the CV guns - whether it be from 20 miles or 2 miles.  Oh, and flash the base if the CV gets within 5 miles of the base even if it isn't shelling.

     Maybe no one notices the hundreds of 5 and 8 inch shells exploding.  Ok,ok...I go deaf sitting in the
tower on the CV when the guns fire..much less when the shells explode

    Anything to increase the sneakiness Im against.

It isn't "your CV".  There are plenty of folks who think the "CV is theirs".   Usually they have absolutely limited tactical sense and spam the range channel with constant "orders" that my nine year old son could manage.  

No.

Yes.

The logic behind  a request to flash the town when being shelled by a fleet has merit.   Certainly someone living within a town being shelled would notice and give an alarm.

Needs to be moved to a separate wish... +1

Here's my $.02 on the CVs.

Did late WWII radar detect ships?

If it didn't, 'the base under attack' message should come after the first shells land, (alarm set off by non combat or civilian personnel at the base or town).
If it did, the message should come as soon as the CV group enters radar range, whether anybody takes off from it or not.
