How about when you capture a port, the location of the carrier (still enemy) becomes visable on the map?

This is not good and the other problem that raises its ugly head is guys coming over taking control of the CV and vectoring squadmates to it. I have witnesses this twice in the last three days.
Suggestion:

When a player changes countries make it 48Hrs before they can control a CV.
Make Chanel 4 (Squad Channel)only heard on the country the the squad Commanding Officer is on. This would help make it harder for squad spys to communicate to another country.

Something needs to be done.. the problem really takes a lot of enjoyment out the game.

If you can do it, I guess it isn't cheating. I don't think it adds anything to game play. People respond by defecting to find the hidden carrier group. Then pass heated words in here about cheating. If hiding TGs, defection and spying are part of the game, it should be modeled better.

Here are a few ideas if it is ment to be part of the game:

Extend the limits of the map
Add search drones to patrol the empty spaces to spot and report TGs.
TGs can put out a patrol to shoot down drones before they spot the TG

If it isn't part of the game:
Limit the TGs to the map
Or, put an off map arrow pointing to the TG

DmdATC change that 10 min to 12 hours & you may have something.

Oosik, love your idea, its a winner IMO.

Thunder as for channel 4 not working, they'd just tune private & still do it. I see no real benefit from that idea.

Simplest solution, surround the terrain with a strip of land. No more off map CV's. Put it just out of sight under the border.

Make taking command of a CV cost perks.Perks or "rank"; what's the difference?

It soon be back in play then..

Don't care about #1 myself, but #2 would definitely suck. Some of us have squad members who fly periodically (or in the case of mr fishy, mostly) for other countries. Not allowing them to see our squad channel would be detrimental to our squad as a whole.

Yep, sad.

Just make everything hiding outside map visible to all countries. That way it would be 'hiding' anymore.

Cheater - def. One who acts in a dishonest (unable to be trusted) manner in order to get what they want.

Seems appropriate in the case of defectors/spys, and therefore anyone acting upon information obtained from same.

Just give us a firing squad so we can eliminate those found engaging in such practices. Hell, we'll even execute the ones taking the CV's off map. Why not? I'm sure more than one fellow has met his end for 'cowardly action in time of war.' Give them a few minutes leeway, so they can correct waypoints mistakenly laid.

Uh, along the same lines; it sure would be nice to get napalm, so we could flame (heh) the bastages transmitting information from their parachutes on the ground. <G>

Anybody who does something like that with the CV's should be forced to fly the 202 for all eternity.

Nah, Cit'd still get kills.

Car bombing has eventually been fixed after tons of good posts, whining and cheerleading. I dont think that HTC would have problems to fix offmappers. They just have to find time and obvioulsy they should want to do it. I dont like those offmappers at all. However, till then (IMHO) it is not cheating, only gaming the game ... like those scissoring with Lancasters at 28K, or dropping from 30K in a barrel, or (prior to 1.08) respawning 100 times with an IL-2 as a tank to kill paras, or ... well you understand

all very nice Gypsy Baron. but why dont you post WHO was the one who set those waypoints?.

Did someone say..."dweebhunt"?

Let's have some comment on the issue of
what to me is cheating...

This one's easy. I detest "gameing" the game and will broadcast the location of the carrier on Channel 1 each and every time I see this circumstance.

If the CV can't be hidden within the confines of the map, so be it. Defending the CV is not that hard with the exception of the suicide gomer's, which is why I am all for bringing CV ack back up to a decent level.
