Title: How many carriers, and are they capturable?
Post by: Hans on November 17, 2000, 05:57:00 PM: Warbirds had either one carrier group total, or one carrier group per side.

You could caputer the single carrier group by sinking the escorts, then the carrier.

Will it work similar here?

I would imagine to make it a bit more realistic (which isn't much in ACES HIGH) that there wouldn't be capturing of ships, just sinking them.

I also hope that replacement escort ships are not spawned inside the fleet, but at port and sail towards the fleet.

Post by: Dowding on November 18, 2000, 05:49:00 AM: I don't want to see capturable carriers. In real life, I'd think they would be scuttled rather than ceded to the enemy.

Besides - also in RL, how could you get a troop carrier onto a carrier without being shot to pieces?

Post by: sky_bax on November 18, 2000, 10:29:00 AM: Well Hans, not that way anymore actually.

2 fleets per side in the WWII Arena.

Non - capturable.

2 IJN & 2 USN

And for the upcoming Midway Scenario:

Yorktown CV5: Escorts - CL Astoria, DD Hammann, Ellet, Monaghan

Enterprise CV6: Escorts - CA New Orleans, DD - Phelps, Russel

Hornet CV 8: Escorts - CL Northhampton, DD Balch, Hughes

Midway
VMF-221 (F4F-3)
VMSB-241 (SBD)

Akagi: Escorts - CL Tone, DD Akigumo, Makigumo

Kaga: Escorts - CL Nagara, DD Yugumo, Isokaze

Hiryu: Escorts - CA Chikuma, DD Kuzagumo,Urakaze

Soryu: Escorts - CL Kirishima, DD Tanikaze, Nowaki

I would think with your new stuff otw you could have a scenario like Midway in the near future.

No flames please, it`s just info.

Post by: Pyro on November 18, 2000, 11:41:00 AM: Number of fleets just depends on how many are put into the terrain. For this first terrain, we're currently planning 2 fleets per country.

Fleets can be taken over by another country, but not directly. Fleets have home ports that can be captured. If you capture a fleet's home port and then sink the fleet, it will be in your country's possession when it re-launches at the port. So it will be possible for a country to take control of more fleets or even to take control of all the fleets.
