Iowa Class/Bismark Class/Yamoto Class

+1 to all naval advancement including fire control of all onboard guns.

and make sure if we get them, hitech adds programmable commands for all aspects of operating the ship or guns. Nothing I hate more than dragging arrows around a map to point the ship when voice recognition programs could allow you to bark orders like a captain would.

yeah not to mention depth charges would be nice lol. and sonars.

yeah, depth charges would be nice, available from both on deck and the planes... and i agree onthe increasing of naval command. for example, there would be an actual bridge where the highest ranking player in the TG resides and controls the TG, then for anyone else who wants to be with the TG, just automatically spawn in the hangar

+3 on this idea.

What about having an arena that was almost entirely an open ocean. Maybe each side has a couple islands. It is all about capturing a base via Naval assets. Throw in independent battleships and you have some real excitement. My Dad served on the Baltimore Class Heavy Cruiser USS St Paul (CA-73), which is the cruiser in our current CV Task Force. I have always liked the idea of allowing the cruiser and destroyers to detach from the CV for independent operations.

Aces High should consider an overall stronger naval component with BBs and the wide open ocean.

[shermanjr]

but wouldnt they just fall prey to lancstukas or b24s or and land based bomber like cvs do now

[B-17]

not if they stayed close enough to]shore, the bombers wouldnt be able get high enough, and they would be destroyed by flak

amazing idea, bu to capture the base itself, shouldnt they put a bit more time into the landing craft we have already? because i dont lik the chances of getting 10+ C-47s on/off a flight deck in reasonable time

yeah major landing craft operations like they did in the PTO in WW2 would make for a better game, also more naval action would be fun aswell.

What if they had Higgins boats to land 10 troops. These troops would have to run the beach gauntlet. And let the Higgins boats come with two. 50s and with drones. Of course an LST land tanks. They need a serious Naval component and with only a few changes it can happen.

well not a few changes, more like alot of changes. and it would take a few years because they have to model the new ships and LSTs and higgins boats.

[B-17]

yeah, couldnt they just start small though? start with the Higgins boats, maybe an amphibious tank, publish a new version/patch for the game, and just gradually work the new boats in? because they do need new boats-- only have the Elco 80'

they already have LVTs. so no need for that and higgins boats would be nice.

[B-17]

ah thats right. forgot about that. just a landing craft that can go a little faster/or with a larger payload.

[fullmetalbullet]

LSTs also. so we can get tanks onto a field capture to keep flaks and other tanks out of the town.

[B-17]

yeah... just dropping 10 troops with one 75 mm doesnt do much... a Sherman would do a far beter job of defending stuff

You guys derailed Copr's thread.  He was asking about Battleships.
