What's the point of that? There's a generic CV layout, so you would be able to guess fairly accurately. Not to mention that the gunners couldn't see, either.
tactic used in the real world... good thought, but its a two fold handicap. -1 to the smokescreen.

lets strap a nuke to the bow of the CV and kamikaze it into the enemy port and blow it up.

it shouldnt track the CV in realtime, just show its location at the time that the port was captured (ie. the troops have seized intel when they captured the maproom).

otherwise an excellent suggestion :aok
^This.

Because what IF the enemy is actually using it for offensive purposes? Becomes pointless then. Might as well hide it and play defense since they'll know where you're going.

Another thread ruined by stupidity.


If you'd bothered to read the rest of the thread, we've kinda already dropped that idea. And since you've argued on about CV hiding being fine because its sorta-realistic (or atleast promotes realistic sorties), I'm going to argue for this idea (even though I personally don't favor it) using the same argument.


Code books were captured telling how to decipher the messages sent by the task group for the next few weeks. Even though the base is captured, the task group still has to stay in concact with the rest of the fleet, and with the Navy Department.

This lets us see exactly where that boat is for the next little while. Its realistic, so deal with it.

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

I think someone has anger issues. There are people you can talk to for that.  Didn't know I wasn't allowed to voice what I liked in the thread.

+1 to the identifying what sector the CV is in at the time of capture but not its exact location.

Not a bad idea.  Not sure if I like it but it's not a bad idea at all.

Yes thats true. But in many cases, you might be alone to try to defend the CV. Why not have the ability to use smoke.
And you can turn it of and off. You can save the CV from the enemy`s CV and SB.
