I apologize that I can not be on the bbs 24 hours a day to beat others to a response. I'm so sorry. I humbly apologize for having a life outside of AH.
1. I can hit them just fine in 234's when I feel up to it, but I prefer fighting it out with fighter jocks from my B17. The term lanc-stuka can be applied to the B17, just...not "lanc".. Load up some big boom stick, dive down and drop it. Not difficult.
2. The entire game has this system. It is not CV specific. This is a GAME not real life. It's been mentioned several times in this thread.
3. This sticks to my replies in the ack thread, however; I do agree that flak should diminish as ships go down/guns destroyed. I personally love
auto puffy.
4. That's right. Insult me.
I'm in a Heavy Bomber Squadron, and a B17 fanatic, I'm pretty sure I have an idea on how they need to fly. Remember this though: This is a game, and you can do things that you normally wouldn't/couldn't.
5. That is a personal experience that I have yet to partake in apparently.
Let's toss a new idea out there: Before taking a port, find someone who likes to volunteer and send them out to search for the CV BEFORE hitting the port. Sink it, THEN smash the port ASAP (i.e. have the port assault already up and inbound). Quick 1-2 punch and things change quick. Most of the time a CV chills around the port until the port gets swarmed.
So, I have responded to the issues - AGAIN - and I got to do it first this time. Keep fighting that losing battle. I'll be sure to reply every time.
