Small CV wish.
« on: October 07, 2013, 12:45:05 AM »
It's a simple wish, doesn't really effect game play, but my wish is to have one of the deck hands raise the elevator and put down the fence.  Of all the photos of the Essex class CVs I've ever seen the elevator is up during launch and recovery activities.

And for the griefers, yes I can take of and land on the cv without hitting the fence.

Cap'n said raising the outboard elevator would endanger the hula dancers.

 :rofl I thought when I first saw the title of your thread you were asking for something like this:



If we add jeeps then we need to also add foul weather and rougher seas. That's the only way to make a jeep take-off and landing interesting.

Sorry to disappoint gents, just think it's odd to have the elevator in the down position.

I agree. I believe the SOP for flight ops was an unrestricted flush deck. No fencing allowed. So for Pete's sake expedite to relocation of the hula girls to O country and get that elevator raised before someone shows up in a torpedo laden Spade!

I from time to time prefer to set my aircraft down directly on to the hangar deck to expedite repair and rearm.  :noid

While I may NOT have the right place to suggest this, I have noticed that the Catapults and crane used to recover the scout planes from the cruisers are very clear, I have several questions, #1 being When will the 'KINGFISHERS' be released? they will add a new 'where is it? aspect to the game.
#2 I want to add the ability to 'RESCUE' downed pilots, by GV, AC, both land based, and from the PBY Catalina/Kingfisher as is possible.
#3 I want to be able to put a damaged TG into any friendly Port for repairs and that having the remaining vessels spawn out to the home port takes away much of the realism. I would also like to see the ability to 'attach' the remaining ships from one TG into a 2nd, adding whatever is there to the overall power of the TG that receives the 'survivors'.
$4 I would like to see a Port WE have command of, in full 'OPORATIONAL' Capasity, able to launch additional TG's on a regular time frame, so that going Hunting for an ENY TG becomes much more prevalent as History shows, if you can build up additional TG's, the ENY needs take a more intent view on locating and sinking/damaging them so they need to withdraw and return to port for repairs!.
#5 I would also like to remove the 'DARBARS' as an automatic display until a report of what is seen, the Alt-Heading and if they are 'OUTBOUND' or 'RTB'.
#6 We need to acknowledge that some fields will NOT be able to launch some AC, Bombers as to the fuel and the bomb load, and even some Heavy Fighters that are restricted Terrain/vegetation.
