CV questions
« on: January 11, 2012, 03:23:42 AM »
i was wondering... if it would be possible to stop the CV moving... is that feasible? to get it to stop moving? or would it be terrible because some idiots will park the cv in some faraway spot...?

No.  It's actually that simple.

Aircraft would have difficulty taking off.  (and landing)

It would be a bomber magnet.

Carriers are an offensive weapon.  Standing still is defensive.

You "COULD" stop a CV, but why on earth would you want to???

If it's a gameplay question, the answer is NO, our CV groups are not capable of stopping.

Aircraft would have difficulty taking off.  (and landing)well you could move the cv when you need to

It would be a bomber magnet.or it could stop short of bombs falling on you

Carriers are an offensive weapon.  Standing still is defensive. well the best offense could be being defensive

You "COULD" stop a CV, but why on earth would you want to??? makes shooting easier esp with a clear view of sight

If it's a gameplay question, the answer is NO, our CV groups are not capable of stopping.

 well for the gun batteries to get a good view of target, or to stop it moving from bombs falling

The only time a CV shouldn't be moving is when it's at port  :old:

When I was aboard the Eisenhower, we would cruise in the upper 20s knot area. Emergency stop with full reverse still took.the ship a half mile.to stop. Tightest turn was.just over a mile wide. These things are.NOT sports cars. Also use the "land mode" to make shooting easier for land targets.

it takes roughly 20 seconds for bombs to make it to the ground. it would take well over 4 minutes to get a CV to stop.

if it was possible to make the cv move manually... you could make the cv stop much faster than just stopping the power... reverse would make it stop much faster... but what i want to know is whether it is feasible to have it applied in the game... would it make gameplay worse or better it? would be great if maybe if you guys could think of how some players would manipulate the cv to make it worse for the game.. or maybe think of how it would be better for gameplay...

In game, stopped CV's would become sitting ducks to bombers and shore batteries (as if they aren't already).  As already mentioned, aircraft wouldn't be able to launch, and the time it takes to stop, and bring back up to speed would make it's effectiveness benign.


I see zero positives in stopping a cv.
