I switched sides and reported where the cv was. I'll take my mute I'm ok with it (not the 1st time). I gotta tell you that I am a lil disappointed with ur response HItech. I was under the impression that u were on the "promote combat" side. In my opinion hiding a cv takes away from combat and takes away from others game play. I think it is a poor decision to allow a couple of players to dictate how  a couple of hundred players play.

I actually agree with DMG!!   before I get hit with the stick, too.

Really though.  I see hiding a CV several sectors away from any action comparable to running away from a fight for several sectors, diving and hiding in the ack, flying over Wirbles to kill that bad guy on your six pr something of that flavor.  Is it smart flying in order to stay alive?  Maybe.  Is it "right"?  Who knows.  Is it gutless?  YES!

Just my 2 cents

NOTE:  "gutless" isn't really the word I was looking for, but you get the point

EDIT: I stand corrected, he actually did admit it.  I have no problem admitting when I am wrong

Well.......... OK.

But you'll have to buy me dinner, first (and some drinks).

lol @ "promoting combat"

Switching countries so he doesn't have risk a plane scouting for a CV  
I'm sure he'll be "promoting combat" when he has his CV back.

And another lol for "a poor decision to allow a couple of players dictate how a couple of hundred players play". That rule doesn't count if it's a couple of DM's undermining the principles of the game to take a boat from a hundred players.

He'll be the master of the art of having cakes and eating them too if he keeps this up. And all the while he pretends that he does these things on principle, because he's actually concerned about everyone else's fun

And these 100 players are doing what with a CV that is 5-10 sectors behind any front line action?  Playing hide the salami? 

Better yet, I'd rather not know what brand of fun a bunch of lonely sailors are having, way out in the middle of nowhere...

There is a big difference between condoning game play that "promotes combat" and condoning game play that promotes retarded behavior.  HiTech just stated that he's in favor of the former and will slap around those guilty of the latter.

In my opinion hiding a cv takes away from combat and takes away from others game play. I think it is a poor decision to allow a couple of players to dictate how  a couple of hundred players play.

So you decided to act and dictate how others play because they weren't playing like how you wanted them to play.  Do you knew the definition of a hypocrit because from where I'm standing, you're a shining example of one.

ack-ack

[Ack-Ack]

Im no expert but all the shows and movies ive seen on the military channel and other channels about WWII have never shown anyone moving and hiding the cv. What would have happened if we did that at midway or Pearl ?

When you don't know your history, don't try and use history to prove a point.

ack-ack

See Rule #4

Hiding the cv just takes another yet fun aspect out of the picture so all we have left is hos and hordes.

We also didn't hand over the keys to our CV's just because their port got bombed so it's not a very effective analogy.  I don't condone CV hiding, I think it's a bad practice, use them, take the port back, etc.  That being said I don't see how one person's bad behavior is a suitable justification for more bad behavior.

Historical CV operations, were always governed by risk/reward.   Especially early in the war, the Doolittle raid was launched much earlier and further away than planned because they thought the task force was detected.  The navy pulled it's support from the Guadalcanal invasion after only a day or two in the area, effectively stranding the marines there w/out their full compliment of supply because of the risk of air attack, an early raid on Rabaul was likewise scrubbed because the CV was detected early.   The stakes were just a wee bit different back then.

So, you'll be handing over the CV, the next time a port gets taken away from you then?!

Yeeeah, Rrright!

[VonMessa]

To be very honest about it, I could really care less about the CV's.

There are no German carrier aircraft, so therefore they are fairly useless to me.

[edge12674]

I wonder how hard it would be to program in a message for the server to give out the last sector location of a CV when that particular port gets taken?  Something like "P100 has been captured by the Rooks.  Captured documents show the last location of CV101 to be 12,4."  Then it is up to the capturing side to go after it.  They would still have an entire sector to search.

Just an idea.

The Germans would have surely invaded.

[Chilli]

I don't know why I haven't thought of this before. 

It makes perfect sense now.  One of these with appropriate sonar range.  I doubt if anything would stand the chance of surviving long enough to be hidden.



Plus, it will be much more fun hiding her....... and much easier

Captured documents???

I like it.
