That would put an end to the cv 5ft off base issue. :)

I'd be all for the mines if the skipper could steer the ship with WASD.

We have a decent number of aircraft that laid mines already in the game, B-24J, Boston Mk III, Ju88A-4, He111H, Mosquito, I think.  Mines would just need a timer for how long they lasted.

Such control is not possible. HTC himself said this during one con which was recorded and put up as a podcast by one participant. It's just not a ship or a playable thing. It's a base that moves. It's a ground object. Something like that.

We were chatting about that this am--one thing the catapult-launched plane could do---give it a radar circle as long as it remains airborne

Isn't it basically a big metal PT boat?

Sure.. I like that idea too.. Some beach guns too..
The prob isn't that big ships are too close.. Just the wrong kind, (CV)

Two fleets from each port, CV attack fleet, and an Invasion fleet..

That way the CV could stay offshore and give pilots a chance to
get Alt before entering the fight..

More fleets for Cartoon Admirals too.. It would fix MANY issues
of goofy gameplay..

I think it would be a HUGE + to the game..

I'm hopin someday :pray

Don't forget the B-29.
