I think they are just fine. The only recomendation I have for it is this. If you do one, your account gets cancelled at impact.

It worked that way in the "real world!"   :D

They're fine; since it's only a game and dying is of no importance (which is exactly as it should be), some people will kamikaze.  

The solution is to make CV's tougher to the point where 1 airplane cannot kill one.

It would not help... Thoze suiciders will just up again and again and again and they will kill the CV after some time... And stiull there are some pilots who can kill the CV with a fighterplane and get out of there alive and no parts missing  :D

I think its good fun to suicide dive bomb a carrier.. easiest 5 perks you'll ever get.  :)

But also i think it ruins the game play as a whole (for everyone), since there is no penalty at all for dieing why even try to pull out of the dive.

Some would argue to make them tougher, which i will agree with but not to counter the suicide bombers, in order to do that they would have to be entirely TO tough. Simply because they could just re-plane and do it over and over as already stated in this thread.

Make them to tough and no one will ever attack them. So i guess they would just have to find that "happy medium".

I love em

I enjoy going up there, catching a fleet sleeping, dive down and send it sinking.  And more often then not, its not a suicide run.  I'm able to pull up, elude acks and make it home (for a *nice* perk multiplier).  

Those mannable acks are killer on the CV, expecially the flak guns.  If your CV is getting sunk due to aircraft, time to man the guns.  Heck, the AI ack puffs pretty much announce an aircraft is coming before you can see it on icon-range.

I don't have a problem with the CV raiders.  I man a 5 inch gun and score lotsa kills   :)
