Official CV timer request................

then all of a sudden the CV was GONE???

Scuttling could take place over a period of minutes whereby bits of the CV explode before the actual sinking takes place.......... everyone would be able to see whats happening.

Thats sounds good

skuttling now is it??no offence,but really...What if like tilt says,there is a good furball going with another cv and all of a sudden the cv starts slowly being destroyed.

  I dont see how not allowing it to go so many sectors behind friendly lines is so hard to deal with..it would at least leave it in play and would not be hard to find with some dedicated Cv hunter/gatherers seeing how there are many in the game..

Easy Button: HT GET RID OF ALL CV'S IN GAME. Save a lot of room on AH BB about hiding cv's

I wouldn't complain

I wont fly near 'em -- cannot tolerate the auto-puffy ack..

HTC will know better but to COAD a definition of "freindly/enemy lines" is a pretty tall order when all we wish to achieve is avoiding CV groups being hidden. The other methodology of achieving something of what you suggest would be to define a limit with respect to how far from its origin base a CV group can be taken. This still involves some COAD that is more complex than a simple latched timer initiating a self destruct sequence.

-1,  I’m against this rule change and here is why.  I do not agree with a strategy that includes hiding and not using  a CV.  But I have also been present when a port has been captured but the attacking side was unable to also sink the CV, because it was just too well defended.  Now this rule change being proposed would punish the defenders unfairly.  Any side that holds a port that can’t locate the CV associated with that Port, has the option to mount a Search and destroy mission or at least a search mission.
