Convoy wish

[Chalenge]

I wish we had a large shipping convoy object that could be added to upcoming maps. Then there could also be submarines to sneak out and hunt them and PBYs to hunt the subs. This would not normally be a center of the map addition but instead a risky choice for sub operators to go behind the oppositions country and hunt their supply chain.

Please add more shipping. PLEASE!



And slow the troops down, they run way too fast.


And speed up the pilots.... too slow.



When I signed up for this game I had visions of killing trains in P47's and bombing shipping with HE-111's None of that exists really.


EDIT: And it's a shame, because it should. My 0.02

You can attack trains with a p47 and there are barges to bomb what more do you want? Just sounds like  a wish for a nautical milkrun to me,.  part of gaming is using you imagnination, imagine the TF is  a convoy and the CV is juts a small escort carrier.

I'm not sure what an imagnination is, but I use my imagination plenty. You know... when I have to fight F4U's with my F4F.

All I'm asking is for more targets to hit. I don't care a lick if they mean nothing for score or anything like that. I didn't sign up to AH because I wanted a nice score, I signed up so that I could pretend to be a pilot in WWII.

Thank God it's only pretend.

What do you have a gainst bombing the tf then or the barges? and trains are already in game?  I'm not going to get into the flame war you so desperatly want,  but I will question you perhaps  less than thought out post count uppers.

That is a prime example of authentic frontier gibberish.




I just want more options... that's all.

To what end? You already say make them serve no purpose but then why bother? Why say to Hitech "Hey I want you to mack this pointless item to waste your time" meanwhile there are a lot of meaningful requests on board already. Uppin thta post count ids what I bioils down to.

replace convoys with trains to sup fields and convoys to resup the strat the trains are very fun to rake with 50cals


oh and make the boiler explode when you hit with a few 50s

when you guys get bored with trains, then what?

Then we take on a more dangerous mission.


We kill field guns.

Umm, quit hijacking the topic from shipping to trains.

Shipping could definitely use a boost. Id like to see convoys (task forces w/e) without a carrier attached. Just maybe a few destroyers to escort the cargo vessels. Maybe make a bunch of them and term it a 'seaborne' start target? Each one you sink drops the strat by x%.

Or maybe just a cruiser and destroyers (think shore attack without having a carrier run aground) or a large number (think 20) of destroyers and frigates. And give them more manned 40mms and less manned 5". The 5" seem uber deadly imho.

Id like to see some more use of the torpedo bombers actually used to torpedo stuff.
