Do you think it would be posible for me to jump a CV with a PT boat?
Please give me your sugestions (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

ONE PT boat?
-
Hmmm Pt boat = 45 MPH, even given that HTC built you the ramp, and that the CV was nice enough to steam by it the correct distance away, you still have a problem.
That flight deck is a LONG way above the water, I don't see any way that you'll get enough altitude in a PT boat to clear it.
Jump another PT boat, yeah maybe, a CV, (shakes head) you brits are INSANE! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Sure you could. Cruise paralled to the carrier but stand off about five feet. Then when a swell is at it's peak leap quickly from the PT's torpedo mount and grab onto anything you can reach.
Climb aboard, demand thier money, precious jewels, blueprints for the Hispanos and of course thier sheep. Then have the dirigible floating above drop a rope ladder just up off the flight deck to enable your escape.

Speeking of which, are the fleet ships going to be capturable? If so, will we have commando units on PT boats or fly goons in?
Maybe if 20 or so troops were able to parachute onto the CV deck, the thing could be taken.... OK, maybe 50-100 troops... After all, it would be mostly Navy guys defending the ship. Unless there was a squad or 2 of Marines.... FIREFIGHT!!!!
I'll shut up now

Hmm capture a fleet eh? Only way i could see that happening: After jaboing the snot out of the deck of the said fleet, you could then land a goon on the deck of the aircraft carrier. You could then proceed the have your atari style modelled drunks be beat down with mess hall trays and hand thrown ammuntion, blow guns and rivets etc. by the crew of aforementioned carrier. Now for the problem of getting drunks onto the deck of any other member of the fleet.
Yes i am a sarcastic, no skill whiny LOSER!

Westy....thanks.

When did they put this thing in here and WTF is it for?
-
Well,
If I dumped Ghosth's zeke "pile "O" crap into the water then kinda did a long run up and used that as a ramp that might work.
Or. We could use a quake tactic and set a real short fuse on a torpedo. Fire it right in front of the boat. When it explodes it would throw the boat up into the air and over the Carrier!
GENIUS!!!!

Yes, you can capture fleets.
You do this by capturing the port facility it spawns from, then sink the fleet. When it respawns, it is yours.
I think there will be two fleets per side, so theoretically you could have all eight fleets under your control.
One thing that got axed were the amphibious landing vehicles, the LVT "Amtracks". I guess the amphibian part was too difficult to get working. Too bad. I thought it was neat that we could do actual amphibious troop landings. I guess we are limited to paradrops for now.
