Here is the textbook defenition of whats wrong with the game. Cane and the like would be the illustration.

People care more about "winnen teh wARz, sos I can get mah free perks  :rock!!!!!" than about the fights.

"Winnen teh wARZ" was invented by the game developer, and included by him in the MA.  To contend that players that choose to pursue this objective are somehow ruining the game is absurd.  Just at it would be absurd to contend that pursuing the objective of winning the fight ruins the game.  If you take winning the war out of the game, you are left with the lake at the dueling arena.  Certainly this is enough for some players, but how many would be left if that was all the game were about?

On the one hand, I don't think hiding carriers is that huge and horrible of an issue.  On the other hand, I don't think the ability to drive away from a fight should result in virtually permanent denial of an airfield to the enemy.  Seems like a lot of reward for not doing much.

The problem with a time out would be it would be pretty weird to be using a 'captured' CV for a base take and when the timeout expires it goes poof.

the thing is THEY don't use them to take bases they simply hide them as far away as possible

You're kidding right?

How can ONE squad feel its right to dictate what that fleet does or doesn't do???

Unbelievable. Its waaaaaaaaaaay beyond rude and childish.

Right, but I'm thinking in terms of unintended consequences.  If the code were changed to poof a carrier whose port was no longer yours, it would affect every carrier.  I don't know how often it'd happen, I don't really pay close attention to whether the ports are ours or theirs when I'm looking at CVs.

I'd rather drink a beer and converse with people that don't hide cv's in a game.

If I wanted to get laid, and a hot female said to hide the cv, I might feign understanding to such a tactic to get vitually laid.

Unfortunately, that ain't happening.

Guess that's why I rarely fly Bish.

<S> to the Gilligans that are winning the war and getting their CV's off the map where they will never be found.

Yay!  Estrogen is awesome!


+1000 to someone who finds an example of an Emil with a bomb.  Then the Cv's would have no chance.

One Squad??? LOL, you really think that that one squad has absolute control over the carriers?  I've seen (and you know you have too) every country use this tactic.  I''ll up your rude and childish, with idiocy, hypocrisy and dishonesty.  Furthermore, I'll counter it with the treachery of players that reveal the location of carriers to the enemy.  

The denial of assets to the enemy is a valid tactic, especially when the port that controls these CV's is in enemy hands.  The control of CV's does not in any significant way diminish the ability to find a "good fight" for those whose only interest in the game is to find one.  On the other hand, for those whose objectives include "winning the war", their control is a significant advantage.

A CV is a tremendous offensive asset, but it's use will typically lead to its sinking.  The use of a CV whose port is controlled by the enemy to attempt the capture of a base, that will most likely result in it's sinking, and therefore being returned to the enemy is strategically foolish.  Not only have you at best traded bases, you have given your enemy a resource with which to capture more of your bases.
