I was watching 'combat at sea' on history channel and i was suprised again by just how few in number the squadrons were off of the carriers and i realised that our squadrons of 32 or so we have in AH could quite easily account for a full compliment of aircraft.
Could we have a system where a squadron pays in perk points for its own carrier? would it be possible to club together to pay for a carrier and the squadron who buys it can then control it and only that squad can launch off it. Perhaps it could even have a limited number of aircraft on board (say 40) and once those aircraft are used up the carrier returns automatically to port where it decomissions and gives back some perks etc depending on performance.
This would be a great thing for a saturday squadnight. Just think also if you KNOW its an AK carrier in your area?
you could have some fantastic carrier vs carrier fights if two squads challenge each other.
Perhaps this could be a great way to use an almost 'open sea' map where there are few land masses meaning there are huge areas with various squads sailing around seeking each other out.
I just like the idea of having a ship that you can class as your own personal base.With a limited resource of airframes and which causes a squadron to be carefull not to waste their aircraft in order not to lose a whole heap of perk points. Even better if only squadron members can see the carrier on the map (obviously all can see it but not on radar) you wont have spies telling everyone where you are sailing.
I can see it might not work with too many people wanting a ship to themselves but this could be avoided by making them very expensive.Even making them so expensive that maybe 2 squadrons could only afford to pay for one. I just like the idea of encouraging a mode of play that matches the WAr for its need to conserve lives and weapons rather than an endless supply like we have now which causes most players to not care how many they lose.
