control of cv task force

[tjorn]

should a player already in a plane, gv, etc be able to control a task force?.   if i am in a plane, i cannot control a tank, why should i be able to control a task force?

[Zoney]

What is a GV ?

What is a GV ?

Little ant like things that crawl around the ground as you strafe them.

So, someone should have to sit on the bridge to drive it?  cool.

I'm all for removing CV's from the game altogether anyway, only because of the 3000ft automagic puffy ack.

  I wish the CV commander would have to be in the CV tower or upped an aircraft from the CV instead of the points sytem we have now. Someone with a high rank can send it to it's death or be off doing something else and not paying attention and  very few have high enough rank that can stop them.

Ranking is ok but they should have to be within a certain distance from the cv to keep control.

           Yes you don't want a noob to keep control.

Ranking is the reason some people (sometimes myself included) artificially move their rank just to grab control of the CV. I'm not the jerk who takes it away from a mission or sits it RIGHT ON TOP OF a PT spawn because of an offense someone else created that day and that CV group just happens to be the target of their tantrum. I do, however, want to be able to undo things like those I've stated, or even move the CV when bombers are coming in with perfect timing due to the 'commander' of the CV being AFK or in a white knuckle dogfight there by being unable to do anything with said command.

Rank and CV control should not be connected as much as it is currently, but I honestly have no other ideas currently to offer as a counter.

 Well 90% of the time who ever is in command of the CV is off doing something other than driving the CV. Bomber come and I can't turn it and it gets sunk. Half the time who ever is in command I never heard of um. Also why don't is say who has command anymore? Now when you pull up task force a lot of the time it has no name by the CV but you still can't move it and it gets sunk. I can make bomber miss all day long most times but not if I can't get control when I need to. Also go pork ords at the base you plan to use the CV at it will stay afloat a lot longer that way. Maybe who has control of the CV is like where you work at. The least qualified guy in the room is always in charge lol.

I rarely ever do much with CV except write SAPP with waypoints

Just have the name of the last person who commanded the CV stick in the display until someone else commands it.

This way we know who to inform that he's programmed the CV's course right into 3x pt spawns and both shore batteries.

OOooohhhhh wishlist....

Or, even better, when the CV gets sunk, have it display the persons name... (this is a joke, btw)

Can't leave the name in because the CV can be commanded without "Taking Command." Taking control just limits others from moving the CV; AHII's ultimate version of "I'm taking my ball and going home."

[icepac]

However it is done, we need to know who last commanded a course change on the cv.
