Disabling the fleets has had a positive effect on the air combat side it was worth disabling them just for this

With the fleets in use and parked just offshore any fights were spoilt by the terrible AA coverage, I know its said its at 0.7 MA setting but I never recall the AA being as dense as this before.
Last night we had free flowing combat without stupid fleet AA interfering, and kills were readily available for both sides.

Ya I agree on the air combat, the thing is their are more ships in those TF's than a normal MA one so the ack is thicker.

actually, CVs are not unsinkable, well, at least one of them was sinkable. Saturday night we sunk an American CV using the guns of C3 and PT torpedos.

However, there is the issue of the other ships respawning out in the ocean instead of waiting for the whole fleet to respawn at the port. So the fleets should remain out of play for that reason, as well as some CVs may in fact be invulnerable.

Bradys,

Sabre said last night he knows a fix.. 6 hours downtime not 3.. Says he's ran into this problem before.

I saw the atacks and figured it should of gone down at that point I realised the US CV was un sinkable, then after what Widewing had said on one and through my utter astonishment that the Japanese CV could still be afloat I sunk the Japanese CV to, shortly thear after I pulled the fleats out a few at a time over the next hour till they were all gone.

Sry I dident mean to give you hope:)

10Bears, Brady tells me he tried changing arena variables, but they had no effect on the fleet problems. It appears that the problems go deeper than a simple change of the fleet respawn variable can fix. It appears to be terrain bugs causing instant respawn of cruisers and unsinkable CV's. Sorry to give you false hope. I hope you and the terrain team can track down and squash them little buggers.

May need Skuzzy or HT to look at it.. I'm at a loss at what tags or flags may be needed.

What I discovered was after putting 12-15 three gun salvos of 8" (into a IJN CV that had already sucked up a lot of hits) the dang thing refused to sink. I was firing at ranges under 6k. My cruiser was then sunk, so I switched to another and hit it several more times and still nothing... Was somewhat discouraging.

My regards,

Widewing

Saw goofey CV stuff in the last set-up too. Cant remeber name of base .. the island one where the CV seemd to be eternaly anchored .... anyways we had just sunk entire fleet. Was grab'n alt when I started get get'n ack again. Looked down to where ships where and what looked like a BS was there. Sqwaked that it respawned ... looked back and it was gone. No film of though.

Anyways for what its worth.

I beleave the base you talking about Just hapened to be the one the CV Spawned off so when u sunk it it came back in the same spot, that was more a base set up booboo than a map thing.

Which is why later in the week when we realised it we set that base to be owned buy the side who owned the CV.

No, I know the one your talking about w/ the port to the South. Not that one. The axis one South of that with two airfields and truck depot. Towards the bottom of the map.
