Battleship

[ONTOS]

Add a Battleship, Washington Class. Handy for shelling bases, ports, and towns. Also good for fending off those pesky bombers and attack planes. We have a Cruiser, but not enough.

Then I need a little float plane to go with

[ONTOS]

Actually, they had two float planes.

I only need 1

I'd be for a battleship as long as I was separate from the main CV taskforce. Yamato class instead of Washington

Co-ordinate a cv group and battleship group then that's a task force of awesome power.

No no no no no!  Kongo Class!




Edit: Technically a Battlecruiser.  But still just look at it! It's gorgeous!

That should have been North Carolina Class (BB 55), as USS Washington was BB 56. Anyway, so long as we have a battleship. The Kongo Class looked impressive. Talk about firepower, the Yamato and her sister ship, the Musashi had it in spades, but a bit much to start out with in the game.

leave the CV group as is, and then make a completely new task group with Japanese ships, IE   Yamato where CV is located now, Akizuki class destroyers in place of the American ones we have now, and a Takao class cruiser

[gyrene81]

hmmm...it would be interesting if there were cv groups from at least 3 different countries (maybe japan, germany, u.s.?) with the proper ship models (including battleships) for each country. with a little creative scripting, each game country could be randomly set to use the ships from 1 of the navies per map or per tour.

As part of the Task group, or as a separately controllable Ship?

Yamato was a bit of an exception to say the least and your average Washington treaty battleship will do. Destroying 3-6 Yamatos per hour with not a single merchant ship or u-boat in sight will seem rather odd.

Battleships were a pretty uncommon sight, so I'd say they were further down the list than merchant ships, u-boats on the surface, minesweepers, minelayers, or even cruisers without a CV, but it's on the list somewhere.

Yamato may be a bit of an exception, but as we probably only get one shot at a battleship, if HTC decides to add one, I would prefer it to be either Yamato class or Iowa class, something that can take a lot of punishment.
