OK we get it...  I like turtles too but why do I keep seeing these images of BiPolar riding that darned turtle all the time anymore? ROFLOL

say the CV did get put back into play... you'll sneak it close to an enemy base and then sure as the sun is coming up tomorrow some  :rolleyes: will up a  :airplane: from it solo, way before the "time" is right and the boat will get sunk anyway :confused: (this happens more often then not)

or better yet---work on being a ranktard (it's really not that hard :old:) so you can control the CV and  :neener: at all the  :cry'tards when they complain about your lack of boat driving skillz

I still say: 3 hour timer on CV - if enemy holds port for 3 hours, the CV sinks automatically. Doesn't hamper any normal CV operation, and even "operational" hiding (=getting CV out of harms way) when the enemy is about to capture the port is still possible.
Just no more hiding of CVs 10 sectors behind the front for a whole week no matter what.  :aok

CV doesn't need to be parked on the beach to be useful, keep it a half sector beyond radar range till base has ord and SB down. Thats just a whole different problem with CV usage that can be a 6 page thread on it's own.

Lusches idea is the one i like most.

i just find it somewhat difficult, and very dissappointing that a bunch of grown men flying cartoon airplanes for fun(?) take a cv group being hidden seriously enough as to let it spoil their fun.

Conversely ... some could find it somewhat difficult, and very disappointing that a bunch of grown men flying cartoon airplanes for fun(?) take a cv group and hide it ... for their fun ... and won't let others use it.

This is a Catch 22 argument.

Good idea, but rather than scuttle it, make it appear on the map just like any other enemy base so that they have to destroy it. It shouldn't just get "turned over" ... sink and earn it.

well....yes, and no.

if those that are hiding it know for fact(which i would think they do by now) that it annoys a great number of people, they they will continue such behavior.
 if they get no rise, or reaction out of doing such, then they will more than likely stop doing it.

and yes, you are right.  :aok

The "rise" is not the "hiding" ... the "rise" comes when others want to use them as an offensive platform and the "keepers" of the Navy restrict that.

There is a case where "hiding" is justified IMHO.

If the enemy has taken or snuck a port, the moving (hiding) of the CV is appropriate. I like to keep that CV close but out of harms way and wait until the enemy has moved their focus somewhere else. Then I would then move the CV back towards the port and use it as a platform to try and take back the port in conjunction with support from a nearby base or bases.

i don't disagree with ya at all.

the fact that so many are making such a big deal out of such a simple thing.........
