spawnable battleships

[Chalenge]

Mines would just need a timer for how long they lasted.

How long they lasted? The real question is how many of them are still out there?

Just two years ago a number of German bombs washed up in Shouthampton, too.

But, I'm against the whole mine thing anyway, because I believe it would just be another thing to game. I can already think of one very good way to game it and it's not even in the game!

I meant in the game for gameplay and server purposes.

I know. Check the last thing I submitted for my input on that.

Battleship as part of a separate invasion fleet.. +1

Player spawnable destroyers.. +1

PT's can beach and drop troops.. +1

LCT's to put tanks over the beach.. +1

I agree! except for PT boats dropping troops.

How can you game mines?

[MWL]

Oh, easy.

  Switch sides . . . place a minefield . . . tell squadies where it is and how long it will last.

  Grab control of fleet . . . . move into said minefield . . . .

  Rinse and repeat as needed.

[Zacherof]

That would make sense.

Who thinks of these ideas

+1 on Amphib Assault/surface action fleet, with 1xBB, 2xCA, 4xDD (actual destroyer, not DE); need the BB to have scout plane, LVTs (and CVBG would not have any LVTs), and PTs.

+1 on player spawn-able DEs or DDs, to include torps; big perk requirement, though.

-1 PTs to land troops.  While PTs did in fact occasionally land special forces, they were not used in mass ground assaults, which is what our LVTs, half-tracks, and Goonybirds are for.

+10 for LST (perhaps spawn-able from above mentioned amphib assault fleet) to act as temporary mobile VH. It would have to have some serious restrictions, such as only one at a time active from a fleet, and perhaps require someone to remain "on the bridge" for it to remain active.
