like i said depends on the map also depends on momentum, sure if your side is taking bases and has the momentum sure keep it on the front, otherwise its better to go a few bases deep. you do need to put thought into it, like avoiding common strat runner routes etc. It might get spotted and sunk beforehand, however odds of success are more in your favor than simply running it into an obvious base in most cases from my experience.

But the stealth CV attacks often result in some of the best fights in AH. If fleets were instantly detected they be sunk before a fight could even develop.

Not really, it would just change the way they'd develop.  The side using the CV would have to coordinate a teensy bit more and not be able to rely on the guns having infinite time to knock down the targets at the base unless someone happened to be watching for it at that particular base while it was happening.

I noticed you used the word coordinate. That isn't in the AH vocabulary.

If you get the CV sunk on three occasions in a month you should be banned from taking control.

Isn't there an achievement award for that?

Ah they pay the $14.95 US the same as you do.


Valid points. Someone for sure would abuse it.

Just so tired to trying to put CVs into position, only to have someone roll off the deck and gives the CV location away before it can be used.

Oh well....back to business.

Was talking to the Pigs about this the other day.  We lost three over the last 15 years.  Still have some films-and I still can hear their voices.  Good times!

'Non-team players' can also be the ones trying to sneak a carrier TF deep into enemy territory and merely succeed in getting the TF destroyed. Honestly, a carrier TF should be advanced at approximately the same rate as the front and anyone concerned about that TF should organize other players to defend it then use it as a base of operations from which to attack. Merely setting a course to 'sneak' the CVTF without manning it nor giving concern over how many opposing TFs it will encounter can be kinda frustrating to the players that like to use the flattops continuously without waiting for permission to do so.
Battle of midway, Pearl Harbor yep sneaking isn’t realistic at all

Realistic or not, CV fights are often the most intense ones you can find.

Love when people turn the boat from the opposite side of the map.

How about you have to be within the dar ring of the ship to turn it?


I got frustrated trying to use them for a cool mission so I hunted them in a pt boat instead.
The predictability of the drivers granted much fun.
