Who Turned the *%$#@^% CV?
« on: November 06, 2013, 05:16:19 PM »
Went to a lecture last night that had a former Blue Angle speaking. He said in fleet operations it was a matter of squadron pride to have the first plane hit the deck 15 secs after the CV had completed its turn into the wind. Remember that the next time someones cussing about the CV being turned.

Yeah, but I'm guessing their cv doesn't stagger around like a drunk when it changes heading.

"after the CV had COMPLETED its turn" is the operative part of that. Which isnt what people complain about. A CV that has completed its turn isnt a problem for most. Its the ones that start and are in the process of turning as your trying ot land that are the problem.

The larger CV problem in game though isnt the turning CV's. Its the clueless dolts that bring the CV into range and aim of the shore batteries without first taking them out and not bothering to take the ammo down

I don't mean heeling or being in a constant turn I mean that oscillating back and forth thing. Though the real complaint I am assuming is that a player is landing and suddenly the boat starts turning not that the boat is turning and the final heading is known and you have set up your approach for it but only have 15 seconds between when it stops turning and when you should land on it or you will feel ashamed.

As complaints go whining about turning boats takes second place in tediousness to whining about not getting a check 6 call,(obviously just my opinion.)

In AH it's not landing that's the friggin problem, it's trying to get back off again as the LVTs are about to enter town with one ack up, a T-34 on the way and buildings starting to pop.

Sad to say, and an in-game fact, there are indeed those who turn the carrier just to greif the game of those taking off or landing.

They're pretty much in for a disappointment with my squadron.  ;)

I don't usually have a problem landing when the cv is turning, it's taking off that I find difficult.

Yeah, I can do it I just find it more difficult than landing. It's also not always viable taking off light on fuel.
