CVs

[dedalos]

Two suggestions:

1)  Make their guns indestructible. The reason is that the dweeb dieing 10 times trying to kill a CV gets unlimited lives and tries.  The CV does not get unlimited gun "lives".  Therefore, after strafing a cv X number of times, it is rendered defenseless.  Once a single guy decides to target a CV, it is all over.  Lets even the playing field.  If they can keep upping new planes, let the CV keep its guns.

2)  Make the ack around CVs actually useful.  Right now someone can pick you with the 5" 5K out if you are in a fighter, but if two sets of buffs come in from different angles you don't have enough time to react.  The 40and 20mm guns are useless.  Low over the water buffs can get to the CV on time to drop a few times until its dead.  Who knows, it may actually allow the guys upping from it also get some alt before they die.

Since some of you that like the easy mode will come back with the if you don;t like it defend your CV, I ll answer it now.  You can't defend it for the above reasons.  Not to mention that guys go out to sink them when no one is around.  There is no way a single guy should be able to get close to a CV group.

Do the above, and then remove the cruiser = fun dogfights for everyone, yay!

You're hanging on too tight Cougar.

There is a reason why that dweeb is dying 10 times. If he gets to kill that cv, then more power to em.

Im -1 on this Ded..I target the guns specificly to try to get them to up in planes and making them indestructable would just bust the springs in the armchair general's computer chair as they would just never up

[Furball]

how about removing all guns, cruiser, and making the cv indestructible?

Think of it this way, in a real life scenario, there would be a heck of alot more than 1-2 people attacking and/or defending against a CV. Rather than having a system which "moves" players to a battle area as needed, you get to re-up unlimited times.

Wouldn't work because then you would have absolutely no defense against a CV attack. You could anchor a CV off shore from a base and just attack and take at leisure.

Now the questionable aspect may be what amount of damage can each gun position take before it is destroyed, and do they "heal" themselves like an ack at any other base would (~45min)?

The point is that it is not an IF.  He will sink it, no matter what.  There is no cost to him what so ever and it is off balance.  He has unlimited planes and ammo and the CV does not.

It's a 24x7 global game.  There will almost certainly be someone online on YOUR off times.  Why should it matter to you what others do while you're not online?  If it matters so much to you, just quit your job and spend 24x7 online playing "save the CV".

What are you talking about?

1. You cannot kill the hangers on a cv.  Up a plane.

2. Pork the ords.  CVs always have ords.  Destroy his ords and his unlimited lives are just that.

Any low buffs that keep coming, over and over, are just free kills.

Up a plane?    What CV plane has the ability to catch a 190 at re-entry speeds?  Or did you mean up a plane against buffs?  The second is even worse.  You will die before you take them all out leaving the CV completely defenseless.

Pork the ords, good idea.  That is exactly how a CV group would defend against single plane attacks

I have to admit... I have had a lot of fun in GV guns.

I have also been on the receiving end at great distances. Auto ack is stout.

Not exactly true.  As long as the port is not captured, the CV will simply respawn again at full strength.

Yeah, the CV will after it is sunk.  Maybe a different argument?  I would compare the CV to a field not an individual plane.

So you agree that a single guy should be able to sink a CV if he is willing to die a few times.
