Title: Totally random question about BBs
Post by: Devourer on April 27, 2004, 09:52:46 PM

This has probably been answered before, but wouldnt it be nice to be able to use/sink behemoths such as the Yamato or the Iowa? They could have thier own icon since these ships are easily recognizable from a distance..
I think they would create an unbalance in the MA, but they might add some spice to the scenerios...

I'd like to see BB's in the game, with realistic damage modeling.  They might be considered to be the Tiger tanks of the sea, it's a major project to sink one.  Musashi took 19 bomb hits and 17 torpedo hits before sinking, Ive read.  

I usually get around 5 perks for sinking a carrier (while dying); I'd like to see those perks adjusted upward, with similar perks for a BB.  After all, fleet carrier losses had major impacts on the Pacific war, e.g. Midway (including the loss of the carriers' planes and pilots) and BB and CV availability and losses had major impacts in the Atlantic theater, at least until Germany got wiped from the board and Italy changed sides.
