It's funny to see on a certain map, not sure of name, approx. 3+ CVs hiding near or all behind our HQ. (it is a large map with TONS of islands, generally always see CVs 5+ sectors away from the true housing port hiding near or around the HQ....quite silly imho.)

grizz one more thing to add.  when you take that cv in that corner it becomes unsinkable.   a agree with the time limit of a couple of hours before the cv switches back to whoever owns the port.

semp

That makes it even more of a joke. 

I can't blame war guys for doing it to save the carrier but it is ridiculous that it is allowed.

Add a time limit if you don't own the port.  Then it resets to the owner.  The original sample pic is the ultimate in dweebery.  Removed from play due using a glitch... :rolleyes:

I'd agree with that, in 3 hours the cv can't get but..4? sectors away, and cv fights offer the most intense, exhilarating action in the game

You can argue the "patrol around for 6 hours till you find it and then make another sortie to where it is and attempt to sink it" argument all you want, but the "Wins ter warsz!" dweebs will always have the ability to be one step ahead of you.

I found a boat up near the one in the origional picture, used Arados to make a quick flight up there, and was promtly intercepted by a 262 about 50 miles from the enemy CV. Tried NOE B-17's, high alt stukas, and I was intercepted by the same guy each and every time.

They don't have a CAP over their carrier, and radar distinguishes between friendly and enemy contacts. If they're watching the CV, you have absolutly 0 chance of supprising them.


CV hiding is getting ridiculous, and on top of that, why should you get to permenatly keep a carrier that you COULD NOT supply in real life. IRL, you would have to replace the engines, the guns, everything, to be able to use YOUR ammunition, and YOUR spare parts.

You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

Easy solution: Make carriers not count in the percentage of bases owned.

Would there be a need to hide them any more?

Well yeah, because when you hide them it prevents your opponent's CV from spawning so he basically is without a war weapon.
