Hitechs word on this from 2011....

Quote
So everyone understands HTC's position. If you change sides to find and kill a country's CV or if you announce your countries CV position just to grief your own country, If HTC finds or is given proof about it.

You will at a minimum be muted for 1 week.

HiTech

Now, does he feel the same these days, dont know.

So while giving away the location of a CV is "bad", hiding a CV is just as bad as far as Im concerned. We are here to play a game and hiding assets that PROMOTE game play is just not right. You want to save a CV from being recaptured.... sit your butt in a gun, of fly a cap on it, but dont hide it.

I have no problems finding CV's because I know how to look for them.   

If I'm not aware of a certain ship, I will fly the periphery of the map in a fighter and wait for the puffy ack. 

Sometimes, all you have to do is spawn a PT boat at a few spawns to find a CV.   

If I switch sides, I leave that country alone for a couple of hours.

Totally agree with you that hiding them is lame. However hiding them is to be more the common and "expected" game play and hiding them does have some logistical advantages.
you CAN driver a cv out to the end of the map and I am almost positive you wont be reprimanded doing so.

Releasing their position on 200 is out of bounds. There is a reason that the other 2 countries do not have access of their position. Most players playing mercenary (auto switch) are very good at not releasing either. 

On another note. I asked this in the MA a while back but never able to get a response. Can a TG have waypoints that go off the map? Just asking when I was hunting one a whiile back

I think more info is needed.  If I'm a rook and I see some "hidden" cv and egg it and find it belongs to knits instead of the bish hiding it - would be ok as a rook to report a bish-owned knit cv's position? You know, so knits can try and get it back?

If someone switched countries to find a hidden cv or ratted one out then switched sides it would be a low integrity action, yeah.
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.
I'm not perfect, but I am closer to it than you are.

Understood, however Most people play this game as a game and using real life/hardnose tactical moves like hiding a CV is foolish to most. Even pulling a CV out of a battle area because it might get sunk falls under the same category for many. It is there as a mobile airfield so use it.

Hiding task groups is so childish. I move them whenever I see it unless we are trying to sneak one off to a faraway strat.
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

Totally agree. However hiding them is the norm. I love hunting buffs that are hunting them.

Very lame though (not speaking through paranoia) but its obvious some have shades to hunt them down which to me is REALLY lame

No
this is fantastic news. Good to know when I hunt them down.
Now can this rule apply to off map flyers?

Caine, did you have control of the BB? Were you  asked to release it?? Did you refuse, with an explanation?

I have a solution, those whom use the auto switch function are not allowed to take control of a task group. It may upset the fleet admirals such as Caine, but I believe it would work.
