More Boats?
« on: January 23, 2012, 02:47:25 PM »
Thinking around the idea of more naval operations like adding U boats just to amp up the carrier defense and hunting for U boats i can imagine would be pretty fun they saw service alot during WWII and so on

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

i personally would like to see E-boats. i believe that was the German pt, i haven't looked it up in awhile but i do think that there should be a tiny bit more variety

I wish people would use the wish list forum to post their brilliant ideas, and be smart enough to not post all their stupid ones.

But I am under no disillusions of my wish ever being fulfilled.

e boats would be a different varient but good , but u boats better , x craft would be interesting , we could use them to attack ports , and the cv group that are permentley in port and dorment, these could be targeted , put a charge under the hull ,destroy which ever ship necessery , and next time if that side still has the port they loose that particular vessel when it respawns, and the depth of the x craft could be fixed if you dive to deep you would die .

It's been asked for a thousand times already and HiTech already said he wants to add them.

So two weeks  :aok

do you have any idea how long it would take for a eboat or were they uboats? well dont matter, we know what you mean, to go for one sector. one sector is 25 miles and a u boat can go about 9mph.  so it would take 3 hours to get to a port assuming the port is 1 sector away.  do you really wish to do that?

no prob not, but with the x craft it could be sent by spawn , i mean to get to periscope depth find out which dock the cv is in work out where to stop etc would be the skill , release charge if the perameter matches where the ship is docked,  ship sinks if its off by 50 per cent 50 per cent damage and so on ,set timer to which player thinks is best to get out of harm , and the x craft should have a higher destuction rate than other ships due to its size , so they could write codevalue with a minus for the x craft so if cv needed 10 to be destroyed x craft would be 4  and if the x craft was still within the 40 percent radius of the cv when timer hit zero x craft would also be destroyed and you loose your perks ,it may be good just to have a trial with u boats just to see if they would improve the game  :salute

don't confuse U-boats with E-boats semp.  The e-boat was a german torpedo patrol boat.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-boat
(I know it's a wikipedia link but it works to highlight the diference between e-boats and u-boats)
The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

Well how about the  Fairmile D MTB, and the German E boat.

That gives us both british and german boats, and each boat is significantly different from each other,
