Task Group Idea (Far Future)
« on: May 16, 2012, 07:17:48 PM »
As the title says, this is a future idea and not to be implemented anytime soon.  I thought it would be a cool idea to have a few different carrier task groups, for EW, MW, and LW.


Early War:  1 Cruiser and 2 destroyers per carrier task group, a bit smaller but as it's early war a bit easier to defend bases.

Mid War:  Exactly what we have right now, except no groups would spawn 2 cruisers and destroyers.

Late War:  This is where my idea kinda changes the groups.  We could have Medium and Heavy task groups.  Heavy task group would consist of 2 Cruisers, 4 Allen M. Sumner Destroyers,  Heavy task groups could spawn maybe 1/10 groups spawned for a specific port.  Medium task groups would consist of basically what we have now.

Finally, Since we currently don't have the Allen M. Sumner in-game (If it's ever added.) It would be a great opportunity to update graphical looks of our current task forces.  I know that they've recently been update within the past few years.  But this update is meant for the future.

I'd like to see a task group built around Japanese carriers, battleships, cruisers and fast destroyers and adding US battle ships to the current US based task groups.

Actually, I think the task groups should be broken into two types, invasion task forces and frontline carrier task forces.  The invasion task forces would have a couple of CVE's, along with troops ships and destroyer pickets with a cruiser or battleship for fire support.  The frontline carrier task forces would be the same as we have now but not have the ability to land troops but can be used to fight it out with other task forces or as additional support for the invasion task force.  This will make it closer to how the task forces were created and used in the war.

How about they add multiple carriers to the fleet as well?

Currently having a single carrier forces the game to have lazer AAA guns for self-defence but if each group had multiple carriers, it would offset the urgency of defence (because it would be ok to lose one or two) and allow HTC to create a more friendly flak environment.

 :airplane:

PS: Just realized ack-ack posted a similar idea, LOL

If people really want to complain about flak we should add Atlanta Class light cruiser. :)

Regarding ack-ack's idea, I do like the idea of landing ships and support ships in different task groups.  Battleships would be nice but what kind of class would we add? Iowa?

the multipule carrier idea could be intresting makeing it so certain planes take off from certain types like a large carrier which has low eny planes the smaller the carrier has high eny planes but also add like a fuel and ord supply ship that if you sink them they don't have 100% fuel or ord then
